LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Theresa May says she plans to lead in the spirit of unity and build a country that "works for everyone." After meeting with Queen Elizabeth and assuming the leadership, May stressed that she would fight against social injustice and that she believes in the unity of all aspects of the United Kingdom.
