David Davis Resigns As Brexit Secretary

London (July 09, 2018): Britain’s Brexit minister David Davis and one of his deputies resigned on Sunday in a major blow for Prime Minister Theresa May as she tries to unite her party behind a plan to retain strong economic ties to the European Union.

David Davis said in a letter that the general direction of policy will leave us in at best a weak negotiating position, and possibly an inescapable one.According to International News agency, junior Brexit minister Steve Baker had also stepped down. MP Peter Bone said that Davis had done the right thing, the PM’s proposals for a Brexit in name only are not acceptable.

The resignations come two days after the cabinet approved the plan in a bid to unblock negotiations with Brussels, just hours before May was due in parliament to explain her plan for Britain to adopt EU rules on goods after Brexit.
