UK Prime Minster takes floor in the House of Commons as two of her cabinet members resigned today over her Brexit plan. May thanks former Foreign Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit Minister David Davis.
May emphasized that the new Brexit plan would take back control of laws and borders. At the same time, she rejected EU’s proposal and warned that “if the EU continues on this course, there is a serious risk it could lead to no deal.”
May also defended the plan regarding the common rulebook on goods as she said “the friction-free movement of goods is the only way to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland and between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.”
May also said the plan agreed was a new model that would accelerate negotiations over the summer, secure a new relationship in the autumn, followed by the passing of the withdrawal bill to leave the EU in March 2019.
The Chancellor of Exchequer Philip Hammond expressed her support to May in his tweets.

Now, the question is, whether the resignation of Davis and Johnson would bring down May’s government? Or actually strengthen it.
