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”.
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.”
Her resignation – announced to the Telegraph just minutes after Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab stepped down, will pile unprecedented pressure on Mrs May’s leadership.
