FAREHAM MP Suella Braverman is reported to have quit her government role over Brexit.

According to reports, Ms Braverman has resigned from her position as the government's under-secretary of state at the department for exiting the European Union.

The Fareham MP has yet to respond to the claims.

However leader of Fareham Borough Council, Sean Woodward, says Ms Braverman has not quit the role.

He added however that the Fareham MP would "obviously be considering her position this morning."

The reports follows the resignation of David Davis from his role as Brexit minister.

Mr Davis, the minister responsible for the UK's departure from the European Union, resigned last night saying the "current trend of policy and tactics" was making it look "less and less likely" that Brexit would deliver on the referendum result and the Tory commitments to leave the EU customs union and single market.

Mr Davis's departure just 48 hours after being part of the Cabinet that agreed to Mrs May's plans also triggered the resignation of departmental ally Steve Baker, while fellow Brexit minister Suella Braverman is also reported to have stepped down.

Ms Braverman was appointed as parliamentary under secretary of state at the department for exiting the European Union on January 10, 2018.

She was elected as the Conservative MP for Fareham in May 2015.

Mr Davis' resignation were welcomed by hardline Eurosceptics in the Tory ranks who were already expressing reservations about Mrs May's leadership after her cabinet agreed a plan which would keep the UK closely tied to Brussels.

The Prime Minister hoped that the cabinet agreement secured on Friday at Chequers would help her deliver the "right Brexit" for the UK, with an offer to Brussels to share a "common rulebook" on goods and form a new UK-EU free trade area.

But she is now facing a leadership crisis and a stormy meeting with Tory MP today.

In her reply to Mr Davis she said: "I am sorry that you have chosen to leave the Government when we have already made so much progress towards delivering a smooth and successful Brexit and when we are only eight months from the date set in law when the United Kingdom will leave the European Union."

The Prime Minister is expected to appoint a replacement for Mr Davis today.
