Jo Johnson has said that he has been shown to have been shown to have been shown to be responsible for this.
Boris – of offering the public "a false prospectus" that bears little resemblance to the reality of the deal that the prime minister is to present to parliament.
He said it would be a democratic move to get back to the people for another vote.
Johnson suggests that other senior conservatives might be considering their positions, saying that "many are thinking hard about the deal that's looming and how they will respond to it".
"In the campaign there were undoubtedly promises that we were shown to be uneliverable – no one can dispute that," said Johnson, pointing to the vision of a low-tax, pro-business, Singapore-style economy on the edge of Europe.
"It was a false flyer, it was a fantasy set of promises that have been shown up for what they were," he told the program on Radio 4. "We are now faced with the reality of that in the form of the deal that the prime minister is about to bring back before parliament.
"My view is that this is so much more than it would be an absolute travesty if we do not go back to the people and they want to leave the EU on this extraordinarily hopeless basis."
Johnson, the MP for Orpington in Kent, spoke to the audience after the publication of the cabinet with an open letter that was delivered to the criticism of the deal negotiated between Theresa May and EU leaders in Brussels. He accused the PM of offering a choice between "vassalage and chaos" and called for a second referendum now that the reality of Brexit had become clearer.
But he denied that his resignation was an attempt to undermine May's position. "My priority is really just to make me feel better," Johnson said.
"I think it would be a democratic travesty if we do not go back to the people and seek for the departure of the EU on that basis."
Johnson's move drew criticism from Tory Loyalists. Damian Green, the first secretary of state, said a new referendum would be unlikely to deliver a clear result. He said: "I think a second referendum would be divisive, but it would not be decisive. All the evidence is that the country is still, more or less, split down the middle. "
