Four high profile resignations have followed on the heels of Theresa May’s announcement that her cabinet has settled on a Brexit deal, with Labour claiming that the Conservative government is at risk of completely dissolving.
Shailesh Vara, the Minister of State at the Northern Ireland Office was the first top official to resign after the prime minister announced that her cabinet had reached a draft EU withdrawal agreement.

An hour after his announcement, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab – the man charged with negotiating and finalizing the deal – said he was stepping down, stating that the Brexit deal in its current form suffers from deep flaws. Esther McVey, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, submitted her letter of resignation shortly afterwards. More resignations have followed.

Labour’s shadow Cabinet Office minister, Jon Trickett, predicted that this is the beginning of the end for May’s government.

The government is falling apart before our eyes as for a second time the Brexit secretary has refused to back the prime minister’s Brexit plan. This so-called deal has unraveled before our eyes​

Shailesh Vara: UK to be stuck in ‘a half-way house with no time limit’
Kicking off Thursday’s string of resignations, Vara didn’t mince words when describing his reservations about the cabinet-stamped Brexit deal.

Theresa May’s EU withdrawal agreement leaves the UK in a "halfway house with no time limit on when we will finally become a sovereign nation,” his letter of resignation states. Vara went on to warn that the draft agreement leaves a number of critical issues undecided, predicting that it “will take years to conclude” a trade deal with the bloc.

“We will be locked in a customs arrangement indefinitely, bound by rules determined by the EU over which we have no say,” he added.
Dominic Raab: Deal can’t be ‘reconciled’ with promises made to public
Announcing his resignation on Thursday morning, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab tweeted: “I cannot in good conscience support the terms proposed for our deal with the EU.”

Raab claimed that the deal in its current form gives the EU veto power over the UK’s ability to annul the deal.

No democratic nation has ever signed up to be bound by such an extensive regime​

Former Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith said that Raab’s resignation as Brexit secretary is “devastating” for May.
“It sounds like he has been ignored,” he told the BBC.
Raab’s departure will undoubtedly encourage other Brexit supporters to question the deal, political commentators have observed.
Esther McVey: Deal ‘does not honor’ Brexit referendum
Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey didn’t hold back when issuing her own letter of resignation. According to McVey, the deal “does not honour” the result of the Brexit referendum, in which a majority of Brits voted to leave the European Union.

Suella Braverman: ‘Unable to sincerely support’ deal
Suella Braverman, a junior minister in Britain’s Brexit ministry, issued her resignation on Thursday, saying that she couldn’t stomach the deal.
“I now find myself unable to sincerely support the deal agreed yesterday by cabinet,” she said in a letter posted on Twitter.

Braverman said that the deal is not what the British people voted for, and threatened to tear the country apart.
“It prevents an unequivocal exit from a customs union with the EU,” she said.

Ministers quit May government as Brexit deal threatens to fall apart

London: Four ministers have resigned from Theresa May’s government, including the minister in charge of Brexit, leaving her newly-minted plan for exiting the European Union in increasing disarray and her leadership under pressure.
But a defiant May told parliament her plan was the only alternative to no deal, or no Brexit at all, and insisted it delivered on the will of the British people.
The deal “presents a very real threat to the integrity of the United Kingdom,” Brexit secretary Dominic Raab warned in his resignation letter, signed on Thursday morning the day after May had announced her cabinet backed the Brexit deal negotiated with the EU.
Raab had replaced former Brexit secretary David Davis, who resigned in July in protest at the deal, which was then still being thrashed out in Brussels.

Raab said the deal, which was finalised on Wednesday, left Britain with an “indefinite backstop arrangement where the EU holds a veto over our ability to exit… an extensive regime imposed externally without any democratic control over the laws to be applied”.
The deal included several provisions to reduce disruption to business and ensure a seamless border in Ireland, which would require the UK to follow EU customs and single market rules that it will have no role in setting.

On Thursday morning May made a statement to parliament, greeted by mocking laughter when she said the plan would provide for a "smooth, orderly" Brexit.
"Voting against a deal would take us all back to square one," she told MPs who would have the power to vote down the deal in coming weeks.

"It would mean more uncertainty, more division, and a failure to deliver on the decision of the British people that we should leave the EU.
"If we get behind a deal, we can bring our country back together and seize the opportunities that lie ahead."
She faced hostile questions from both sides of the House. Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn said the government should tear up the deal, which he called "half-baked" and "not the deal the country was promised".
Raab’s resignation came minutes after that of Northern Ireland minister Shailesh Vara.
Vara said the UK would be left “in a half-way house with no time limit on when we will finally be a sovereign nation”.

“We will be locked in a customs arrangement indefinitely, bound by rules determined by the EU over which we have no say,” Vara said.
“This agreement does not provide for the United Kingdom being a sovereign, independent country leaving the shackles of the EU. We are a proud nation and it is a sad day when we are reduced to obeying rules made by other countries who have shown that they do not have our best interests at heart.”
Sueller Braverman MP, Raab's deputy and under-secretary of state for Brexit, also resigned.
In her resignation letter she said the concessions the UK had made in negotiations did not reflect the will of the people.


Then less than an hour after Raab, work and pensions minister Esther McVey quit as well.

In her resignation letter, McVey said it was "obvious to everyone" that May's Brexit deal did not honour the result of the 2016 referendum, and did not meet the tests that May herself had set for a successful deal.
It would "bind the hands of not only this but future governments in pursuing genuine free trade policies," she said. "We wouldn't be taking back control, we would be handing over control to the EU.
"It also threatens the integrity of the United Kingdom, which as a Unionist is a risk I cannot be party to... I cannot defend this, and I cannot vote for this deal."

Parliamentary private secretary in the department of education, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, also resigned accusing the Prime Minister of "trying to appease the EU" in negotiations instead of looking after British interests.
According to political blogger Guido Fawkes, Downing Street’s director of legislative affairs also resigned on Thursday. Nikki Da Costa’s main job would have been to ensure the passage of Brexit legislation – including approval of the deal and/or preparations for a potential ‘no deal’ Brexit - through parliament.


According to media reports, up to a third of May’s cabinet had opposed the deal put to them on Wednesday night, in a marathon five-hour meeting at Number 10.

May’s officials had refused to put the issue to a vote, instead demanding consensus.
That suggests more cabinet ministers oppose the deal but have not yet resigned.

Brexit is the 'worst deal in history' and the one with the best chance
There were rumours reported in the political press on Wednesday night that pro-Brexit Conservative MPs had the numbers to force a party vote on her continued leadership, possibly as soon as Thursday lunchtime.
On Wednesday night, after the cabinet meeting, May had warned the cabinet and parliament faced a choice between her deal, or to leave the EU with no deal, or have “no Brexit at all”.

She has not elaborated on the final option. May has previously, repeatedly and firmly, rejected the idea pushed by many in parliament and with significant public support, to have another referendum on Brexit.
Brexit will happen, by force of EU treaty, on March 29 unless both Britain and the EU take steps to reverse it.
If no exit deal is agreed then a ‘no deal’ Brexit is predicted to cause economic chaos, including the risk of food and medicine shortages, long queues at ports, major disruption to exports and imports, and a possible return of border checks in Ireland putting the Good Friday peace agreement in jeopardy.

慘！英國內閣才通過「脫歐」協議草案 脫歐大臣、勞動大臣卻辭職不幹！首相梅伊可能垮台

英國首相梅伊14日好不容易與歐盟談成「英國脫歐協議」草案，好不容易讓自家內閣通過草案，準備這個月底送歐盟峰會背書，下個月送國會表決。然而15日變生肘腋，負責與歐盟談判的「脫歐事務大臣」拉布竟然宣布辭職！
拉布（Dominic Raab）走人之後，勞動與年金大臣麥克維（Esther McVey）、脫歐事務部次長布瑞佛曼（Suella Braverman）、北愛爾蘭事務部次長瓦拉（Shailesh Vara）等3人同一天掛冠求去，國際發展大臣莫道特（Penny Mordaunt）據說也準備跟進。一旦內閣大失血，首相梅伊（Theresa May）的寶座將岌岌可危。
拉布（Dominic Raab）表示「我無法昧著良心支持這份草案」，因此只能辭職以明志。拉布今年7月9日才上任，在職僅4個月餘。他的前任戴維斯（David Davis）與前外相強森（Boris Johnson）也是因為無法認同首相梅伊（Theresa May）對脫歐問題的立場，在今年7月辭職。

梅伊的保守黨（Conservative）政權原本在國會只能維持薄弱的多數，目前更是風雨飄搖。拉布去職已對其他質疑協議草案的閣員形成壓力，可能會引發「骨牌效應」。保守黨部分「硬脫歐派」（hard Brexiters）後排議員（backbenchers）準備發動「宮廷政變」：對梅伊進行不信任投票（no-confidence vote）。

「北愛爾蘭」與愛爾蘭邊界爭議難以跨越
目前支持與反對協議兩方的交鋒焦點，仍是英國領土「北愛爾蘭」與愛爾蘭以及整個歐盟的關係。歐盟堅持北愛爾蘭與愛爾蘭之間不能有「硬邊界」（hard boarder），以確保貨物、人員、服務與資本自由流動。但是「硬脫歐派」反對任何可能會讓北愛爾蘭留在歐盟體系、導致英國出現「一國兩制」的作法。
拉布在辭職信中就指出，協議草案中針對北愛爾蘭的管制措施 「對英國的完整性構成相當大的威脅」，草案中的「愛爾蘭邊境保障措施」（Irish border backstop）也形同「讓歐盟對我們的脫歐能力擁有否決權」。（推薦閱讀：Brexit關鍵時刻到來！英國、歐盟終於達成脫歐協議草案 首相梅伊爭取閣員支持，黨內黨外卻四分五裂）

失去拉布對梅伊而言是重大打擊，據英國《衛報》（The Guardian）報導，在14日的內閣會議上，至少11位閣員對協議草案持「強烈保留」態度。拉布原本要幫梅伊說服其他「硬脫歐派」，提高草案在國會過關的機會，沒想到如今卻對梅伊開了第一槍，而且讓梅伊可能尋找替代人選。
