'It is a serious blow for government': Keir Starmer

Brexit Secretary David Davis dramatically resigned late last night, sparking a Brexiteer rebellion over Theresa May's plan to make a soft exit from the EU - leaving the Prime Minister fighting for her political life. Mr Davis quit the government last night telling the PM that her policies could leave the UK in a 'weak and inescapable' negotiating position, two days after ministers had finally agreed a plan for Britain's departure from the European Union. Steve Baker and Suella Braverman, junior ministers in the Brexit department, were also reported to have quit the government last night amid speculation that further Cabinet ministers would follow Mr Davis to the exit. The Brexit rebellion leaves Mrs May in a perilous position as she faces the House of Commons and then a potentially stormy meeting of Tory MPs on Monday. Mr Davis was praised last night by Tory MPs including Jacob Rees-Mogg, who said he would oppose Mrs May's Brexit proposals. Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...
