UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson resigns amid Brexit row

The United Kingdom's Brexit strategy has claimed another victim, with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson resigning. 

Mr Johnson's resignation comes just hours after Brexit Secretary David Davis announced his resignation and just moments before UK Prime Minister Theresa May began addressing the parliament about her new Brexit plans.

Ms May said she and Mr Johnson and Mr Davis did not agree on "the best way to honour the result of the referendum".

Ms May's Brexit proposals have angered many MPs, with Mr Johnson reported to have described it as 'a big turd'.

Ms May addressed a raucous House of Commons shortly after the resignations and paid tribute to Mr Johnson.

A statement from Downing Street said a new Foreign Secretary to replace Mr Johnson would be appointed shortly.
