Waves bye to the buffoon. Must be seeing an opportunity to further his career as that is what he is all about. Maybe he'll throw himself in front of a jet as a protest against Heathrow. Pity May wasn't strong enough to give him the boot many months ago.
But surely resigning and attempting to overthrow May is a potential move to become PM.
I'd suspect Sajid Javid is a strong contender though tbh... I think Johnson has lost credibility since being a minister (yes I know he has always had the clown image). I think.JRM, while popular among traditional conservatives isn't going to come across well with swing voters in a general election and frankly moderates, liberal conservatives etc.. won't like him.
(this is assuming the Maybot is going to be overthrown, which is perhaps more likely with this resignation - with Davis you could chalk it up as his usual behaviour of being quite firm on principles etc.. and simply having to resign as per his letter as he didn't agree with the Brexit plan. With Boris though, I'd be less inclined to assume anything principled and just assume he'd have had some assurances from back benchers re: attempting to topple May.)
Doesn't necessarily need to be an election, especially given the Brexit timetable. If they can topple May then, depending on the candidate, we perhaps just increase the chances of a hard Brexit.
As they're literally just saying on BBC news, Labour won't support the deal when it comes to a parliamentary vote.
They're talking about "the enormous temptation Corbyn will face to bring down the govt." Potentially even if it's a deal Labour would approve of, the chance to vote it down and bring down the Tory govt will be something they couldn't pass up on.

Exactly - And people think we'd be better off with "sovereignty"? Current government can't even manage themselves.

Why is this thread open, when the same thread started twelve hours about about duckhead davis was locked for being brexit discussion and was then restricted to speakers corner?
Why should this backstabbing **** get a thread of his own?
Boris, making the world burn.

Our electoral system must take a large part of the blame. It guarantees swings from one extreme to the other.
It prevents parties working together in coalition often enough to get accustomed to the idea, and build cross-party cooperation.
Technically I suppose DD being the Brexit Secretary it was a thread referencing Brexit intrinsically, and since BoJo is Foreign Sec then it's a generic politics thread...
I'm sure that it being a Don as the OP has nothing to do with it
Well said!!
