President of the Council of the European Union Donald Tusk wrote on Twitter that the idea of Brexit did not go with Johnson.

British Prime Minister Theresa May thanked Boris Johnson in Parliament, reports Reuters.
"We do not agree on the best way to implement our common obligation to respect the results of the referendum" from June 2016, said the Prime Minister in an address to British MPs.
Johnson's resignation comes a day after the British government was rocked by the departure of Brexit Secretary David Davis.
He was replaced by eurosceptic Dominik Rab.
Great Britain, still divided on the issue of Brexit, has not revealed its vision of the future relationship with the EU after leaving the membership, which is scheduled for March 29, 2019, exactly two years after the start of the exit procedure.
In a referendum on June 23, 2016, the British decided to leave the EU.
The fall of the pound after the resignation of ministers
The British pound fell against other currencies today amid fresh turmoil in Prime Minister Theresa May's government over Brexit. The pound fell by more than 0,2 percent against the dollar and the euro, as it was in a positive position against both currencies earlier today. After last night's resignation of the minister for Brexit, David Davis, the pound gained strength with speculations that the departure of the strong proponent of Brexit will enable a "soft" exit of Great Britain from the European Union. With the resignation of Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, however, Prime Minister May's leadership position is called into question, which brought down the British currency.
