The country is trying to prepare for England’s biggest World Cup match in decades while MPs fight over Brexit deal
WARRING Tories left Theresa May fighting for her Premiership over Brexit — as the rest of the country prepared for England’s biggest World Cup match in decades.
The Sun backed fans who begged the politicians to get a grip as Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson resigned just 15 hours after Brexit Secretary David Davis quit.
The PM moved Jeremy Hunt from Health Secretary to replace Boris.
But John Hemmingham, trumpeter in the England Supporters Band in Moscow, summed up the feelings of millions of working people when he said: “Surely this week of all weeks we have to focus on football and get behind Gareth Southgate and the lads?
“We’re one game from our first World Cup Final since 1966 — that’s what matters to us. Nothing else.”
In his resignation letter, Mr Johnson said Mrs May’s blueprint for a “soft” Brexit, thrashed out at Chequers last week, would make Britain “a colony” of the EU.
