Another UK minister quits over Brexit

British government minister Sam Gyimah quit late Friday over Prime Minister Theresa May's "naive" Brexit plan, dealing her another blow in her fight to pass it through parliament.

The universities and science minister is the seventh member of May's government to quit since she brought back the draft Withdrawal Agreement from Brussels.

Gyimah, who voted to remain in the EU, said the deal was "not in the British national interest".

UK MPs are holding a vote on December 11. May commands a wafer-thin majority in parliament, and around 100 of her own MPs have already promised to rebel.
