In latest blow to UK's May, Leadsom resigns over new Brexit approach | IOL News

LONDON - Prominent Brexit supporter Andrea Leadsom resigned from British Prime Minister Theresa May's cabinet on Wednesday, saying she could no longer support the government's approach after May's latest gambit to pass her Brexit deal backfired.

But Leadsom said she could not announce the new Withdrawal Agreement Bill in parliament on Thursday as she did not believe in it. But that met a swift backlash, with several lawmakers who have supported her in previous Brexit votes saying they could not back her new plan.
