British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson resigned! Former mayor of London and the front man of persuading Britons to quit the European Union. That has been announced by the office of Prime Minister Theresa May. His departure follows the earlier departure of David Davis, who was in charge of the Brexit File, from the May cabinet.
British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson resigned on Monday afternoon. Announced by the office of Prime Minister Theresa May. The departure of Boris Johnson follows the earlier departure of David Davis from the May cabinet. Davis was in charge of the brexit file. As May pushed ahead with a proposal that would keep Britain more closely tied to the European Union than hard-line conservatives want.
Resignations reopened speculation
May appeared to have won the full cabinet’s agreement on keeping Britain’s economy closely anchored to the European Union. But the resignations reopened speculation about a challenge to her leadership, something that May’s official spokesman said she would fight. But with the Brexiteers in the party in full revolt, Conservative insiders predicted further resignations unless and until Mrs. May drops her plan.
Johnson, the former mayor of London, let some faithful people know that he had decided to stay on in order to fight for the exit from the EU in the way he campaigned. Johnson writes in his letter of dismissal that he could no longer defend May’s Brexit plans, which in his view would only result in a partial exit. “We are on the way to the status of a colony,” Johnson said. “Brexit’s dream is dying and suffocated by needless doubts.”
Successor
The British government says that a successor to Johnson will be announced ‘soon’. Prime Minister Theresa May thanked the Minister for his efforts.
