David Davis’s resignation has put Theresa May’s future in doubt
David Davis’s resignation as Brexit Secretary just months before the UK has to conclude Brexit negotiations, is a crushing blow to Theresa May’s authority as prime minister and has put the entire future of her government in doubt.
His resignation letter is brutal, effectively accusing May of betraying the result of the Brexit referendum by handing back control of Britain’s future to the EU.
“In my view the inevitable consequence of the proposed policies will be to make the supposed control by Parliament illusory rather than real,” he writes.
