The British Justice Secretary has said he will resign if the UK government breaks the law “in a way that I find unacceptable” amid growing criticism of Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans.

Robert Buckland insisted he does not believe the UK will “get to that stage”, insisting legislation that could break international law was a “break the glass in emergency provision if we need it”.
