june vote: Timothy resigned as May's co-chief of staff after the results, according to The Japan Times. Going into the election, May was more popular than any of her colleagues individually and the Conservative's brand overall, the research showed. ; Timothy's comments, in an interview for a forthcoming book on the June vote, emerged after Johnson, the former mayor of London, launched what some observers regarded as a direct attempt to undermine the prime minister. Nick Timothy said the Tories focused their election campaign on Theresa May because their private research showed nobody in the Cabinet is popular keep them away, even Boris. Johnson went out on a limb on Saturday with a 4,000-word essay about his glorious vision for post-Brexit Britain, in the Tory-supporting Daily Telegraph newspaper. In his Telegraph article, Johnson argued the U.K. shouldn't pay to access the single market for goods and services countering a plan floated by Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond and Brexit Secretary David Davis. On Sunday, Johnson's colleague, Home Secretary Amber Rudd, accused him of back seat driving with his rival plan for leaving the European Union, while Johnson became embroiled in a row with the U.K. statistics watchdog over his claim in the story that Britain pays 350 million 475 million a week to the EU. May will refresh her own Brexit vision with a major speech on Friday in Florence, Italy, amid speculation she'll offer to continue paying into the EU budget in exchange for access to the single market during a transition phase.
