May stares down Brexit plan backlash as ministers quit

British Prime Minister Theresa May faced down a backlash against her strategy for leaving the European Union on Monday as both her Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Brexit minister David Davis resigned in protest. Johnson warned in his letter of resignation to May that Britain was headed for the "status of colony" of the EU after it leaves in March, and said the Brexit "dream is dying". Johnson's dramatic resignation followed those of Davis and his deputy Steve Baker overnight over May's plans to keep Britain economically close to the bloc.
