Ex-Brexit chief urges cabinet to rebel against PM

Britain’s former Brexit secretary is urging members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s cabinet to rebel against her proposed deal with the European Union over the terms of Britain’s departure from the bloc. David Davis wrote in the Sunday Times that May’s plans for some continued ties with the EU is “completely unacceptable” and must be stopped. The fellow Conservative party member said the time has come for ministers “to exert their collective authority” to shoot down May’s plan. May also faces obstacles from the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland, which has played a crucial role in propping up her minority government. DUP leader Arlene Foster is opposed to any Brexit plan that would require checks on goods travelling between Northern Ireland and Britain.
