LONDON: UK transport minister Jo Johnson resigned on Friday over PM Theresa May’s “incoherent” Brexit strategy. Johnson, brother of former foreign secretary and Brexiteer figurehead Boris, issued a statement describing the Brexit withdrawal agreement as a “terrible mistake.” He added, “The choice being presented to the British people is no choice at all. He called for May’s deal to be put to the British people in a referendum, with the option of remaining in the European Union.
