Nigel Adams, a Wales Minister and whip, stated on Wednesday that Theresa May's decision to shift towards a softer Brexit and start talks with Jeremy Corbyn was a "grave error". According to him, now it is clear that the United Kingdom will "end up in the customs union".
"That is not the Brexit my constituents were promised, and it is contrary to the pledge we made in our manifesto", Adams said.
Following yesterday’s cabinet, this morning I’ve been to Downing Street & resigned my position as UK Govt Minister for Wales & Govt Whip. I’m grateful to the PM for the opportunity to serve as a Minister since 2017 & will continue to serve my constituents from the backbenches. pic.twitter.com/W15xS4cOBP
