Boris Johnson resigned as Foreign Secretary over Theresa May’s plans for Brexit less than 24 hours after the Brexit Secretary David Davis quit.

May’s next! Hahaha! All my dreams are coming true!!! Just loving the demise of the hated Tories. Nobody deserves it more.

Rab C Biscuit The post-tamworth Tories are the second oldest political party in the world and if there’s one thing they’re good at it is surviving. Even with Theresa May at the helm, before they softened their Brexit stance, they were

leading the polls. They’re not anywhere near as hated as you’d like to think.

PM May knew this was going to happen when she announced a soft Brexit so will already have a replacemen­t lined up.

Tactics prior to the Chequers away day were obviously discussed prior to the meeting. May gets her false security for 48 hours then come the resignatio­ns followed by doubtless 1922 letters triggering a leadership run which Rees-mogg is tipped to win. But will he go to the country on a general election ?

Robert Brexit unravels. I’m shocked at this news. General election and second referendum, the only reasonable way forward. Let the people speak.

Cramondo Johnson will be no loss, no one in recent political history has had such an inflated opinion of themselves as he has but he didn’t have the guts to stand in the leadership contest .
