Parliamentary Tremors As UK Government Appeals High Court Ruling

Conservative British parliamentarian Stephen Phillips has resigned his seat due to reported policy differences with Theresa May and her handling of Brexit. Despite being pro-Brexit, Phillips claimed government ministers under May’s premiership had ignored Parliament.

The resignation comes as Downing Street said it is appealing Thursday’s High Court ruling that the government needs approval from Parliament before triggering Article 50 which would formally begin exit negotiations with the European Union (EU). The appeal is set to go before the Supreme Court in December.
