Nigel Adams, who has resigned from Theresa May\u2019s cabinet as a junior Welsh minister, injected some joviality into the house of commons \u2013 ostensibly trolling PMQs and underscoring his question with a series of dramatic pauses.<\/p>\n
Adams quit May\u2019s government earlier on Wednesday in disgust at the PM\u2019s proposal to broker a Brexit deal with the help of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.<\/p>\n
After a rather unremarkable exchange between May and Corbyn at the dispatch box, the former cabinet member rose <\/a>to his feet. An array of excitable Tory Brexiteers stamped their feet in anticipation to what Brexit-related bombshell he might drop, to the embarrassment of the PM.<\/p>\n British lawmakers were then treated to a performance dripped in comedy and straight out of the trolling playbook, as Adams delayed this delivery with a string of long pauses, much to the glee of MPs across the House.<\/p>\n Can I urge the Prime Minister…can I urge the Prime Minister\u2026can I urge her\u2026on behalf of all the people of Selby…to put her weight behind the campaign for step-free access for Selby railway station.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While parliamentarians laughed at the contrived theater the ex-minister had managed to create, a visible sign of relief could be seen on the Tory government benches, led by May.<\/p>\n Adams finished his question by insisting that he was \u201csorry to disappoint colleagues…but this is very important for the people of Selby.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Adams, one of the prime minister\u2019s junior ministers for Wales, announced his resignation on Twitter, claiming that May\u2019s shift to a softer Brexit was a \u201cgrave error.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In his letter to May, he accused the PM of \u201clegitimizing\u201d<\/em> the Labour leader by pleading for his help to secure a Brexit agreement that the majority of MPs can support. Adams argues that a customs union is now inevitable, which is \u201cnot the Brexit my constituents were promised.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Think your friends would be interested?
