Conservative MP Philip Lee has quit the Tories, dramatically crossing the floor of the Commons while Boris Johnson addressed MPs. It leaves the government without a working majority in parliament. The MP for Bracknell, who has been a staunch campaigner for remain, said he quit over the way Boris Johnson was pursuing a “damaging Brexit” that could “put lives at risk" and stating the Tories are " infected with the twin diseases of popularism and English nationalism."
This move makes it nearly impossible for Johnson to pass legislation, making Brexit even more uncertain.
