Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab resigns
Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab has resigned saying he "cannot in good conscience support" the UK's draft Brexit agreement with the EU.
Theresa May announced on Wednesday evening that she had secured the backing of her cabinet for the agreement, after a five hour meeting.
But several ministers were understood to have spoken against it.
So, it starts.
As I said all throughout the withdrawal bill proceedings when Raab was the home office minister doing the bulk of the Bill's presentation in parliament, I rate him very highly. I rate him even higher now. He stayed the course for as long as possible.
Who's next? Andrea Leadsom said she was positive abut the deal yesterday, lets see if the pressure changes her mind.
