British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday suffered yet another Brexit blow, this time closer to home, as his younger brother Jo Johnson quit as a Minister in his Cabinet and also resigned as a parliamentarian of the Conservative Party.
In a move reflective of just how deeply divided the UK remains over its membership of the European Union (EU), the business Minister and member of parliament from Orpington said that he had been forced to take the step after being torn between family loyalty and national interest. Jo Johnson was seen as a popular Tory parliamentarian.
