Amber Rudd claims ‘it’s unclear who is running the UK’

Amber Rudd was reported saying that it is unclear who is running the country following her shock resignation from the government.

The former work and pensions secretary said she did not think the cabinet was having “proper discussions about policy”.

The Independent reports that “when asked who was running the country, if not the cabinet, she told The Andrew Marr Show: “If I knew that I would have perhaps had further conversations with the prime minister or them.”

She also claimed she was shown a “one-page summary” when she asked for evidence of the government’s work in negotiating a deal with the European Union. “It’s 80 to 90 per cent of government time going into preparing for no deal,” she said. “It’s disproportionate.” She added: “There is no evidence of the deal. There is no formal negotiation taking place. “I think we should be doing so much more to get the deal.”
