and boris johnson the british foreign secretary has resigned lawrence lee has been following developments he is outside the houses of parliament in westminster central london with their live for now do we know anything more lawrence. no well i mean i can tell you that is an absolutely flat crisis now for the british government david davis the british secretary resigning is one thing they could replace him easily and boris johnson whether you like or don't like him is a very very big figure in british politics and he's a man around whom hard right wing and see european union breakfasters could easily coalesce and it is generally assumed even though he hasn't said anything yet but there is a very large chance that he's now going to try to force a leadership contest against terrorism a which in part depends on the views of backbench conserve and peace who are going to meet tonight we're just waiting by the way boris johnson's timing was extraordinary resigning half an hour before to resume a is about to address the houses of parliament ok she's about to speak let's go listen to her before we

people to take back control of our money our laws and our borders more now from our correspondent lawrence lee in london with the significance of course of this publication of the documents is that eventually the european union has a position from the u.k. side which it can negotiate with after more than two years since the vote because only about five weeks left in the go stating time before they absa come to an agreement or the u.k. crashes out and so having done this now next week the u.k. politicians will run over to brussels and to see what they can or can't agree with with the european union over this but it's not only the e.u. that the government has a problem with if the politicians inside their own party because some of them on the really really hard core and say european side is so incensed at the idea that the u.k. mights keep a very small trading agreement going with the european union that they started calling to reason may the prime minister a traitor and.
