LONDON, July 9 (UPI) -- Andrea Leadsom, one of the candidates in the race for Britain's prime minister, suggested that her role as a mother meant she was a better candidate for the job than her opponent, Theresa May.
Leadsom reportedly told The Times that having children means she has "a very real stake" in the future of the country. She has come under fire for her comments, which she says were taken out of context.
