Amber Rudd quits cabinet and Conservative party

Sep 6,2022 6:41 pm

Amber Rudd has quit Boris Johnson 's cabinet, with an outspoken attack on the government's approach to Brexit.

The ex-work and pensions secretary said the government was having no "formal negotiations" with the EU about a New Deal , only "conversations".

Instead, 80-90% of Brexit work was spent preparing for an "inferior" no-deal option, She Said .

But Chancellor Sajid Javid said ministers were "straining every sinew" to get a deal with the EU.

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show a "tremendous amount of effort" had gone into securing a revised deal.

Mr Javid added that preparations for a no-deal scenario would "concentrate minds" in Europe regarding working towards a new agreement.

Downing Street says environment minister Therese Coffey will replace Ms Rudd as work and pensions secretary.

BBC political correspondent Jonathan Blake said the Prime Minister spent Sunday meeting his closest advisers at the government's countryside residence Chevening House , in Kent, "perhaps planning the next move".

Ms Rudd she would be considering whether to stand as an independent Conservative should there be an general election.

In her to the Prime Minister , Ms Rudd said: "I joined your cabinet in good faith: accepting that no-deal had to be on the table, because it was the means by which we would have The Best chance of achieving a New Deal to leave on 31 October.

"However, I no longer believe leaving with a deal is the government's main objective. "

She called the PM's decision to expel 21 MPs from the parliamentary Conservative Party an "act of political vandalism", after her former colleagues rebelled last week over a bill designed to avoid a no-deal Brexit.

"If we become a party which has No Place for the type of moderates that I Am , the centre-right Conservatives, then we will not win [a general election]," She Said .

Analysis: 'More ministers contemplating resigning'

by John Pienaar , BBC deputy political editor

Amber Rudd 's resignation was symptomatic of a deeper struggle going on inside the government and inside the Conservative Party .

Whatever anyone says, A Number of ministers are considered to be privately unhappy with the government's strategy and contemplating the possibility of resigning in The Wake of Amber Rudd 's resignation.

The former chancellor, Philip Hammond , was saying this weekend that usurpers were turning the Tory party into an extreme right-wing sect.

He was clearly referring to people like the Prime Minister 's famously abrasive, divisive adviser, Dominic Cummings .

But there's no sign of the Inner Circle in No 10 relenting or repenting - just The Opposite .

One minister said to me today: "Look at the opinion polls. Tories well ahead - it's working. " Losing colleagues, to him, was Collateral Damage .

Ms Rudd, the MP for Hastings and Rye, who supported Remain in the 2016 referendum, has resigned the Tory Whip - meaning she will remain an MP but no longer sit as part of the Conservative Party in Parliament .

She told the BBC there was "very little evidence" the government would get a new Brexit deal, and she had only received a "one-page summary" of efforts to get an agreement when she asked for details earlier This Week .

She Said "proper discussions about policy" had not been taking place, suggesting senior ministers had limited involvement in the PM's decisions.

Cabinet ministers had also not been shown legal advice to the Prime Minister about his decision to prorogue - or suspend - Parliament from next week until 14 October, Ms Rudd said.

Asked who was running the country, if not the cabinet, she replied: "If I knew that, I would perhaps have had further conversations with the Prime Minister , or them. "

Mr Javid said Ms Rudd was "My Friend , not just my colleague"

However, Mr Javid said there had been "progress" in talks with the EU about making changes to former PM Theresa May 's Brexit deal, which was rejected Three Times by The House of Commons.

He said the government has "many new ideas" for proposals to break the deadlock over the contentious in The Deal aiming to preserve seamless border on The Island of Ireland.

However he said it would be "madness" to talk through The Details of the government's proposals openly.

"Anyone who understands how negotiation works, you would not discuss those in public," he added.

What has the reaction been to her resignation?

Former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said Ms Rudd's departure was "desperately sad news", describing her as "one of The Most principled and capable ministers I've worked with".

Former Chancellor Philip Hammond tweeted that the Conservative Party had been "taken over by unelected advisors, entryists and usurpers".

Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer that her departure showed Mr Johnson's government was "falling apart".

Labour Party chair Ian Lavery said the resignation was a sign that "No One trusts" Mr Johnson. "The Prime Minister has run out of authority in record time and his Brexit plan has been exposed as a sham," he said.

SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford called on the Prime Minister to resign, arguing he had "no support or credibility left".

But Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Mr Johnson had made clear to all his cabinet ministers they needed to support his policy of leaving the EU by 31 October, in all circumstances.

"We all accepted that, and I think the Prime Minister was right to restore some Discipline - and I think he's right to expect it from his top team," he told Sky News .
