Can we just scrap this Brexit thing and call it a day.

What makes me laugh is he can still run for PM, if you resign you should be out with no way back in.

Eh? That doesn't make any sense. If you're a senior minister unhappy with the current leadership then resigning is quite logical as is standing in any future leadership contest.

Nope, we're exiting, if we don't have consensus re: a deal it just makes the exit potentially messy/increases chances of a "hard Brexit".

Whatever views you may have on Brexit, this surely cannot be good for the country when we are so close to the deadline?
Change of leader and/or party only causes more upheaval and uncertainty surely during something that will likely change how things are done in the UK for years.
I'm certainly nervous that come next March, or this October when a deal is supposed to be done, we'll be in a complete mess, leaving lives and livelihoods in the balance.

Did anyone say anything, ever, with authority, that anything was going well with leaving the EU?

Boris wanting out of the responsibility of doing the best in a lose/lose situation means he's looking out for Boris.

That would be sensible/in the best interests of the country, not going to happen.

Government on the verge of collapse, 8 months to go until we leave, there's no hope really is there.

He'll be back once Jacob Rees-Mogg takes over.

Do people actually think a no mark back bencher will be pm?

It's quite plausible actually. Though I think Javid has a better shot.

My labradoodle may as well be PM for all the difference it would make

I don't think Brexit is going to happen in any way that will benefit our nation, all I see is a strategy of delaying

But good that Boris has gone as he's a bumbling idiot

Locky · 9 Jul 2018 at 16:32

Jacob Rees-Mogg for PM!

I don't think that Brexit could benefit our nation regardless of how it happens, save for the EU completely buckling to our demands which is (and always has been) entirely unrealistic.

What does he/she think about free movement?

I was hoping that we could avoid descending into Brexit talk but it wasn't to be.
