UK - Theresa May is on the brink of disaster today after David Davis dramatically quit saying he could not back her 'weak' Brexit plan as it 'gives too much away' to the EU. The Prime Minister faces the biggest fight of her political life as a massive backlash from Eurosceptics threatens to sweep her out of Downing Street. In an excoriating verdict on the 'third way' trade plan Mrs May forced through Cabinet on Friday night, Mr Davis said she had persistently undermined him and put the UK on track to be humbled by Brussels.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Davis said his 'conscience' would not allow him to continue as he did not 'believe' in the plan. He insisted he had been 'clear' at the Chequers showdown that he did not back the blueprint. 'They'll take what we offer already and then demand some more. That's what I fear,' he said. 'We're giving too much away, too easily, and that to me is a very dangerous strategy.'
All eyes are now on Boris Johnson to see whether he will follow the example of Mr Davis - who was the public face of negotiations with the EU. Brexiteers hailed the move by Mr Davis as a principled stand, with one publicly insisting that Mrs May's leadership is 'over'. Allies of Mrs May fear a vote of confidence is now more likely to happen than not - with 48 letters to the ruling 1922 committee needed to trigger one.
