LONDON - Finance minister Philip Hammond said on Sunday he would resign if Boris Johnson became Britain’s new prime minister because he could not support a leader happy to take the country out of the European Union without a deal.

He said his fears over a no deal had forced him to vote against the government for the first time in his 22-year political career last week. But parliamentary opposition to a no deal is growing and the EU is refusing to budge over that Withdrawal Agreement.
