LONDON, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- British Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab resigned on Thursday, saying that he cannot support the draft Brexit agreement between London and Brussels.
"Today, I have resigned as Brexit Secretary," Raab said in his Twitter message. "I cannot in good conscience support the terms proposed for our deal with the EU (European Union)."
The resignation announcement came just hours before British Prime Miniter Theresa May is to speak to the British parliament to sell the new draft deal, which was reached on Tuesday by the United Kingdom and the European Union after months of intense negotiations.
Meanwhile, he also published his letter to May to explain his two reasons for resignation.
