Update: Andrea Leadsom resigns; Theresa May disagrees with her on Brexit approach

The leader of the House of Commons Andrea Leadsom has resigned, saying in a letter to Theresa May “I no longer believe that our approach will deliver on the referendum result”.

Update: Mrs May said she was “sorry” to receive Mrs Leadsom’s resignation letter, writing in reply that she was “grateful for the support you have given over the last three years” in working to deliver Brexit.

But the British Prime Minister said she disagreed with the assessment Mrs Leadsom gave about the UK Government’s approach now.
