Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson Resigns from Theresa May's Government, In Protest of Her #FakeNews "Compromise" on Brexit

A "Brexit" without an actual exit.

Boris Johnson resigned, following hard on the heels of the resignation of two top Brexit negotiators from May's team, all objecting to the fake Brexit "deal" they're negotiating.

The prime minister already replaced other hard Brexiters who quit. Appointed as Brexit secretary in 2016, Davis will be replaced by Member of Parliament (MP) and housing minister Dominic Raab, reported BBC.

Like Davis, both Raab and Johnson supported a hard Brexit during the 2016 referendum.

"In my view the inevitable consequence of the proposed policies will be to make the supposed control by Parliament illusory rather than real," Davis wrote in his resignation letter.

Theresa May might face a no-confidence vote from Parliament, which would, in turn, spark a new vote for PM.

Now that Boris Johnson is positioned to run against her, a no-confidence vote seems more likely.
