DOWNING STREET SAYS BORIS JOHNSON HAS RESIGNED AS FOREIGN SECRETARY

Boris Johnson has resigned as foreign secretary, becoming the third minister in 24 hours to walk out of the government rather than back Theresa May’s plans for a soft Brexit.
The prime minister hammered out a compromise with her deeply divided cabinet in an all-day meeting at Chequers on Friday, but after consulting friends and allies since, Johnson decided he could not promote the deal.
A Downing Street spokesman said: “This afternoon, the prime minister accepted the resignation of Boris Johnson as foreign secretary. His replacement will be announced shortly. The prime minister thanks Boris for his work.”
After the Chequers summit, it emerged that Johnson had referred to attempts to sell the prime minister’s Brexit plan as ‘polishing a turd’.
His resignation follows that of the Brexit secretary, David Davis, and his No 2 at the Department for Exiting the EU, Steve Baker.
As the flamboyant public face of the Vote Leave campaign, Johnson’s departure will deepen the sense of crisis around May, and increase the chances that she could face a vote of no confidence.
The prime minister was due to address her backbench MPs in Westminster at 5.30pm, in an atmosphere becoming increasingly febrile. If 48 MPs write letters of no confidence to the chair of the backbench 1922 Committee, Graham Brady, May will face a vote of no confidence.
Many of the prime minister’s supporters believe she would win such a contest, but if she lost, May would face a leadership challenge, with Johnson among the potential candidates.
In Davis’s resignation letter, he said he believes May’s proposal for a UK-EU free trade area governed by a “common rule book”, “hands control of large swathes of our economy to the EU and is certainly not returning control of our laws in any real sense”.
Brexiters have also been angered by what Baker told the BBC was “childish” briefing from No 10 over the treatment of pro-Brexit ministers at Chequers.

This is pretty big, it's now extremely likely that May will face a leadership challenge

Too early to say, it could be that Boris is making a move for May's job. It would have been hard for him to stay after the "polishing a turd" comment was leaked, but we don't know if it came from his friends or his enemies.

hahahah I'm so glad Brexit is failing
the UK needs to end
they need to stop thinking they are independent and free
they need to OBEY and submit to superior rule from Europe
without the EU they will just revert back to Commonwealth Pakis and "le based Sikhs" again

Christopher Hill
Highly likely there will be a snap election demanded and if that happens May will not be reelected and the Tories know it... that means shes out.
If the Tories dont get Mogg in or someone with some brexit credibility Labour and Corbyn will be elected to punish the Tories or being traitors.
Either way May is fucked, only question is can we get rid of the cunt before she signs us away to the EU.
Mass protests incoming soon as England go out of or win the world cup

William Russell
: Davis says he didn't coordinate with Johnson. Asked if a leadership challenge was now inevitable, he said:
> ``No, I don’t think so. I don’t think so. I would be surprised if one had precipitated and if it is, I suspect she’ll win it. I don’t think it’s a survival issue at all.''
Ryan Cox
WHY WON'T SHE STEP DOWN?

An LBC radio transcript of an interview with David Davis lands. He was being interviewed when Johnson quit, and was asked for a response. Here's what he said:
> ``Regret, really. I had resigned because this was central. This was central to my job and if we continue with this policy and I was still there, I’d have to present it in the House of Commons. I’d have to present it in Europe. I’d have to be the champion of the policy which I didn’t believe in, so that doesn’t work. Somebody else can do a better job than me under those circumstances. I don’t think it’s central to the Foreign Secretary. It’s a pity, but there we are.''

Davis doesn't think May will face a leadership challenge and if she does, he reckons she'll win it. ``I don’t think it’s a survival issue at all," he told LBC radio.
Wyatt Lopez
Can someone please tell me what this all means? What are the future implications of this?
Juan Gonzalez
Don’t get it la who is he?
Noah Cruz
To put this in perspective, David Davis et al have resigned over a proposal that was probably going to be rejected by the EU anyway.

Holy fuck.

Thomas Torres
Lot's of uninformed/shill posts here.
Brexit is now law signed by the queen, it can't be reversed we have to leave because it's the law.
If the government collapses it just means that we might not be able to negotiate an outcome with the EU by march next year, if there are elections ect, which means no deal brexit.
May is finished, it's just a matter of this time.
Asher Taylor
But the only one who looks likely to win is Corbyn, which means goodbye Brexit, hello Bongstan. This seems planned.
Jordan Garcia
Possible but unlikely at the moment, largely because nobody else wants the job right now

Wow this cunt thinks that brexit is the will of a couple of politicians. He doesn't give a shit about the will of the people. He needs to die swiftly

Lucas Flores
>Corbyn will 99% win that shit
Nope. He's weak at best, probably weaker than he was during the 2016 election.
Equally, replacement of the PM does not generally trigger a new election in the UK (as when Theresa May replaced David Cameron) and especially not if they would likely lose their slender majority which only exists because of "Confidence and Supply" by the DUP.
Aiden Cooper
Can you imagine if Trump appeared in front of Congress taking questions like this? They'd be carrying them out on stretchers.

In most circumstances only a fraction of people are even in parliament. Only on special occasions do they assemble all.
Generally speaking, I question why they cannot enlarge the thing slightly.

The Tories can't do brexit, point is proven, it's a choice between a slow death via the Tories or a quick one via Lolbour i'll choice the latter.

45% of Scots voted to leave the UK back in 2014. Scotland also voted to stay in the EU. This has been a bit of an issue, if there was a Scottish independance vote right now I honestly believe it would pass.

1. This is a leadership challenge within the Conservative party, not an election.
2. This shithole is already bongistan. The Conservatives are just as bad as Labour are, things can't get any worse than they already are.
