"break international law in a very specific and limited way," a cabinet minister has said in the House of Commons."break international law in a very specific and limited way," a cabinet minister has said in the House of Commons.
The comment came one day after the government was forced to play down reports in the British media that it was seeking to alter elements of the Northern Ireland Protocol, part of the deal that Johnson's government reached with Brussels last year, designed to keep an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
However, government attempts to calm audiences at home, in Brussels and around the world appear to have failed.
While CNN was unable to independently verify Jones' reason for resigning, Downing Street did not deny the claims in the report, and a government spokesperson said"I can confirm that he is stepping down and we would thank him for his years of hard service and wish him well for the future."
