Theresa May is sticking with Iran deal

Some Britons already suspect May dislikes the Brexit vote as much as her predecessor and doesn't want to leave the EU. I think that could also explain why she's told Netanyahu that the UK is going to stick with supporting the Iran deal (Hat tip: Breitbart):
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his British counterpart, Theresa May, agreed on Monday that the international community needed to be “clear-eyed” about the threat posed by Iran in the Middle East even as May said the UK remained committed to the 2015 nuclear accord and praised its importance.

Speaking by telephone on Monday, Netanyahu and May discussed security cooperation, Israel-UK trade and the contentious nuclear deal signed two years ago between Tehran and the P5+1 world powers, which included the UK.

A spokesman for Downing Street said May noted to Netanyahu “the importance of the nuclear deal with Iran which has neutralized the possibility of the Iranians acquiring nuclear weapons for more than a decade.”

May told the Israeli leader, a vocal opponent of the deal, that the UK remained “firmly committed” to it and that it was “vitally important for regional security,” adding that Iranian compliance with the accord should be “carefully monitored and properly enforced.”
Except it never has been, and as far as I can tell, even the UK's not doing it any more than they're keeping their own country secure. The US will hopefully abandon it, but the UK so far is acting dreadfully on the subject, and it doesn't help Europe at all.
