Enforcer in UK PM May's Conservative Party quits over Brexit deal
"Over the last few weeks, I have tried to reconcile my duties as a Whip to assist the Government to implement the European Withdrawal Agreement, with my own personal objection to the agreement," Gareth Johnson wrote in a resignation letter to May.
"I have concluded that I cannot, in all conscience, support the Government's position when it is clear this deal would be detrimental to our nation's interests." (Reporting by Michael Holden; editing by Costas Pitas)
