May, who announced her resignation on 24 July.
Theresa May announced her resignation on May 24, 2019, not July 24. July 24, 2019 was her final day as prime minister.
Full reasoning
This sentence mixes up the date Theresa May announced her resignation with the date she left office.
An official GOV.UK transcript of May's Downing Street statement is dated 24 May 2019 and quotes her saying: "So I am today announcing that I will resign as leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party on Friday 7 June". That is the resignation announcement.
A separate GOV.UK biography page says "Theresa May was Prime Minister from 13 July 2016 to 24 July 2019." So 24 July 2019 was the end of her premiership / handover to her successor, not the day she announced her resignation.
So the post is incorrect to say May "announced her resignation on 24 July"; the announcement was made two months earlier, on 24 May 2019.
