Boris Johnson quits as UK foreign secretary amid Brexit crisis

Al Jazeera  

PM Theresa May loses second key minister as divisions over EU exit strategy threaten to tear her government apart. UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has become the second cabinet minister to quit, as bitter divisions over Britain’s departure from the European Union, or Brexit, deepen a political crisis threatening Prime Minister Theresa May‘s government. “This afternoon, the Prime Minister accepted the resignation of Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary,” May’s spokesman said in a statement. Jacob Rees-Mogg, a key figure in the Conservative arty’s “hard Brexit” faction, also said the agreement would be “worse” than a UK exit from the EU with no deal at all. The Labour Party leader’s comment came after saying on Sunday that Davis’ resignation was proof May “has no authority left and is incapable of delivering Brexit”.
