Sam Gyimah cites exclusion of the UK from the Galileo satellite navigation system as a ‘foretaste’ of the problems Brexit will bring the country
Universities and science minister Sam Gyimah has become the latest government minister to resign his post in protest at the UK prime minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal.
Gyimah resigned shortly after May announced she was pulling out of negotiations over the EU’s satellite navigation system Galileo. On 30 November she said that the UK would not be involved in the project post-Brexit, and would instead develop its own global positioning network.
