A senior minister who quit British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Cabinet said Sunday that the government is making little or no effort to secure a Brexit agreement with the European Union, despite Johnson's insistence that he wants a deal.
Amber Rudd said "there is no evidence of a deal. There are no formal negotiations taking place."
Rudd called the expulsions "an assault on decency and democracy."
"If we become a party which has no place for moderates like I am, center-right conservatives, then we will not win."
Opposition Labour Party finance spokesman John McDonnell said "we're in a situation where no-one can trust while (Johnson) is in place what could happen."
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Sunday that the government would obey the law, but would also "test very carefully what it does and doesn't require."
