Esther McVey Resigns after Telling Theresa May that Brexit Deal Doesn't Honour the Referendum
Esther McVey has sensationally resigned over Theresa May’s Brexit deal - telling the Prime Minister it "does not honour the result of the referendum" and "fails to secure the right outcome for the future of our country", The Telegraph reports.
In her resignation letter - sent to the Prime Minister this morning and seen exclusively by The Telegraph - the Work and Pensions Secretary tells Mrs May that her proposed deal "doesn’t meet the tests you set from the outset of your premiership."
In her forthright letter accusing the Prime Minister of breaking her promises, Ms McVey explains how she can "no longer support" the deal, writing: "Repeatedly you have said that we must regain control of our money, our borders and our laws and develop our own independent trade policy.
Her resignation - announced to The Telegraph just minutes after Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab stepped down, will pile unprecedented pressure on Mrs May’s leadership.
