Britain's former Conservative Deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine has been sacked as a government adviser after rebelling over Brexit in the House of Lords.
Lord Heseltine on Tuesday backed the demand for a parliamentary vote on the final deal to be written into Brexit legislation and was hours later fired from five government advisory roles he had held, BBC reported.
According to him, he accepted Number 10's right to sack him but "sometimes there are issues which transcend party politics". "I have never met (Prime Minister) Theresa May. So I can't make a judgement. She's doing very well in the polls... the public approve of what she's doing," he said after being discharged from the roles.
