McVey said the European Union (EU) withdrawal deal, which was reached Tuesday by Britain and the EU, “did not honour the result of the referendum.”
“This is a matter of trust,” she said in her resignation letter. “It is about the future of our country and the integrity of our democracy.”
The latest development came after the resignation of Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, who said that he “cannot in good conscience support” the draft Brexit agreement between London and Brussels.
“No democratic nation has ever signed up to be bound by such an extensive regime,” Raab said.
