Jo Johnson resigns from Government and calls for a second referendum on the EU. This could be significant.
The entire statement is worth reading. This is one of the most thoughtful and considered statements on Brexit I have seen from any MP, and whilst I still don't personally support a vote, his reasoning is crystal clear medium.com/@JoJohnsonUK/w…
Just going to tweet out some of the most devastating sections, starting with this one. There has been chatter on the subject before, but few have gone openly for the Suez comparison
This is a pretty clear attack on Liam Fox and David Davis
He's also noticed the deal on the table says nothing about services
Another savage line on where rules will be set - and this has been an issue glossed over for the last two and a half years - we have to meet rules to sell to other countries
No deal means real economic damage
So he couldn't possibly support no-deal
A final interesting turn against those saying second referendum is a threat to democracy - by saying not having one will damage democracy.

Overall summary: This argument has depth. Key q - does Gov respond or this feeling grow with other MPs?
