Transport minister Jo Johnson resigns over Brexit
The transport minister Jo Johnson has resigned from the government over Brexit.
In a video on Twitter, Johnson said the UK was “barrelling” towards an incoherent Brexit, leaving the nation “trapped” in an subordinate relationship to the European Union.
The Orpington MP said: “I think it is imperative that we now go back to the people and check that they are content to proceed on this extraordinary basis.
“Instead of 'in Europe but not run by Europe', we will be out of Europe and yet wholly subject to European rules.”
