Senior British Diplomat Quits with Tirade Over Brexit

“A senior British diplomat in the US has quit with a blast at the UK government over Brexit, saying she could no longer ‘peddle half-truths’ on behalf of political leaders she did not trust,'” CNN reports.

“In a searing resignation letter delivered just over a week before the UK general election, Alexandra Hall Hall, the lead envoy for Brexit in the British Embassy in Washington, said that she had become increasingly dismayed by the demands placed on the British civil service to deliver messages on Brexit which were not ‘fully honest.'”
