U.K.’s Minister for Brexit Quits as Lawmakers Begin to Desert Theresa May Over E.U. Deal

The British minister charged with overseeing the country's departure from the E.U. resigned on Thursday morning, as lawmakers in Prime Minister Theresa May's cabinet began to turn against the draft Brexit deal she has negotiated with the bloc.

Dominic Raab became the second Brexit Secretary to leave the position in four months, after David Davis resigned in July. Raab was joined on Thursday by Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey, who also said she could not support May's deal.
