Senior conservative minster resigns, accusing Boris Johnson of an assault on democracy

Britain's political crisis continues, as the senior conservative minister Amber Rudd has resigned. This news comes in the wake of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's brother resigning, since he was caught between "Family loyalty and the national interest". Rudd posted her letter to the prime minister on Saturday night with the her biggest statement being that Johnson was causing an "assault on decency and democracy" as he expels more and more conservatives members of the parliament. Johnson's 6 week stint as prime minister has been faced with many troubles, mostly concerning Brexit. France's Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has said that they don't want the UK to leave the EU, but the British just don't know what they want.
