British Science and Education Minister Sam Jaima quit Prime Minister Theresa May's government on Friday, becoming the sixth minister to resign in protest against her proposed Brexit deal.
Djaima, who in the 2016 campaign advocated for the country to remain in the EU, said that her agreement proposal means that Britain will surrender "its vote and veto" and that the prime minister should not rule out the possibility of a second referendum.
His resignation is a new blow to May, who is trying to convince her MPs to support the agreement reached on Sunday with Brussels, reports Hina.
On the eve of the country's exit from the EU in four months, May is facing criticism from all parties, including the Northern Ireland Party, which "holds" her majority in parliament.
"It has become increasingly clear to me that the proposed deal is not in the British national interest and that a vote for that deal would be a vote for failure," Jaima wrote in his resignation statement, according to the Daily Telegraph.
"We will lose rather than take control of the nation's destiny," he added.
