British prime minister Theresa May and her husband, Philip, arrive in Hamburg, Germany for the G20 summit, July 6, 2017 (Bundesregierung)
- Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson have resigned from Theresa May’s government.
- Both opposed her Brexit strategy of seeking as close as trade relationship with the EU as possible without accepting free movement of EU nationals.
- It is unclear if the EU could accept that proposal, but it went too far for Davis and Johnson anyway.
- Steve Baker, a junior minister in the Department for Exiting the EU, also resigned.
- May could now face a leadership challenge.
