British Politician Resigns Over Prime Minister's Handling of BrexitA senior minister of Britain's ruling Conservative party has resigned because she does not think the prime minister is serious about creating a Brexit divorce deal. Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd said late Saturday that Boris Johnson is not working to secure a Brexit withdrawal agreement. "There is no evidence of a deal," Rudd said. "There are no formal negotiations taking place." Rudd said in her resignation letter: "I joined your cabinet in good faith: Accepting that 'no deal' had to be on the table, because it was the means by which we would have the best chance of achieving a new deal to leave on 31 October." Rudd added: "The government is expending a lot of energy to prepare for 'no deal' but I have not seen the same level of intensity go into our talks with the European Union." Home Secretary Sajid Javid said Sunday the government is "straining every sinew to get a deal."
