Will there now be a Leadership challenge? I'm not so sure but this had to happen and was predicted. Unfortunately, it's at least a year too late.

The kind of Brexit demanded by Rees-Mogg, Davies, Johnson etc was and is undeliverable. Now what we are left with, is not Brexit as imagined but an "agreement" with the EU. The fight was lost long ago.

I voted "leave" ! It's well known that I did.

It's also well known that I've said for many months, that we wouldn't get a meaningful Brexit. Think it "bollocks" if you want, the more clued up see it as simple pragmatism.

Strong and stable, eh?

Mrs May could do a John Major, get on the front foot and call a leadership election herself.

The Brexit extremists may command a majority among Tory grassroots but they’re a minority in Parliament and would not survive in Government.

Boris Johnson is no great loss. As a Foreign Sec he was embarrassing.

Turns out losing the referendum is irrelevant. Parliament is going to save us from Brexit. And as the next election won't be for years, there won't be any voter come back.

We Continue to grow our own produce and import from the rest of the world outside of the EU. It's actually the EU's external tariff barrier that keeps food prices artificially high from the rest of the world outside. After Theresa May is removed (make no mistake she will be) and then after a Brexit prime minister delivers a real Brexit we can remove that EU tariff on food from the rest of the world and food will be cheaper.

I mean, I enjoy watching Tories ratfuck each other as much as the next person, but May is the best of this sad, miserable bunch.

So while loyalty to doctrine is important to the more deranged brexit types, I'd argue actual fucking competence is what you'd actually want.

I'm not sure any replacement that floats to the top would be actually be in any way capable of delivering on their bullshit ideas, which leaves the UK worse off than before.

Now Centaur I know you will just ignore this post, but if what you have said is true, then why has the Brexiter Liam Fox chosen to put import tariffs (WT0 Schedule) on bananas? To protect British banana farmers? Nope. There aren't any. In fact Fox has copied the WTO schedule directly from the EU. This disproves your point that it will be cheaper.

So if we remove tariffs on all goods and produce, as we would have to according to WTO rules, and Prof Minford's Economists for Free Trade, what happens to UK company competitiveness? How will we compete with low wage economies, poor product quality and environmental standards?

Unable to comprehend the point still?

Luck is one aspect of the process. Did your getting behind England ensure that various other countries won or lost against each other?

Along with skill, commitment, maturity, stamina and humility.

How much did you getting behind them help? How much credit are you taking?

I didn't post again because it got very full of unrelated nonsense and you never answered the question as usual.

Is it easier to change the subject than get behind Brexit?

They have no need to....yet. Whilst the harder Brexit ERG are pulling holes in the Chequers agreement, the next big movement will be when the EU reacts to the soon to be published White Paper.

Should they reject it out of hand, then Mrs May has nowhere to go. Be flexible with it, then she can retain her authority and can build on it.

I can see a General Election rather than a Leadership challenge. There is no suitable candidate to take Mrs May on, no one with the strength in numbers. And whilst Brexit is still on the table, she has a far better chance of taking Labour on, as there is little difference between the two parties. And she knows that the Unions will put pressure on Jeremy Corbyn to go for a second referendum, creating another fracture point to exploit.

Boris is self-serving. Boris does what is good for Boris.

The impossibility of delivering the all-singing, all-dancing Brexit promised is very clear now.

Hard Brexit (euphemistically described as "clean") or damage limitation are the only too options.

Boris wants toto distance himself from the disaster he created and claim "betrayal".

This is a crappy proposal, but on the edges of realistic.

Most "true" Brexiteers want a hard Brexit. This will end in permanent damage to the UK economy.

Any rebirth will by through massive deregulation and be in no doubt that this will be primarily with employment conditions but also financial, big business tax and environmental legislation.

"What do you know about Anguilla?"

Just admit that you are trying to belittle them as irrelevant because you don't agree with their fact based point of view

"Because the left-wing NY Times and Guardian would be impartial?

And how many people in the UK could even find Anguilla on a map?"

If an RAF transport aircraft took me to Anguilla I wouldn't need to find it on a map.

He was there because of a hurricane in the Caribbean, so I could probably guess the Caribbean even if I couldn't point to it on a map.

What is your point?

More pertinently; what is the UK position on the rise of China or India? What is our position on arms sales to foreign states involved in conflict and human rights abuse? What is the UK position on Trump's climate change or anti-immigration policies as articulated by the former Foreign Secretary?

I've been to Anguilla and you have not. I know the island and I understand the island and the politics and you do not.

I also know that you just found some left-wing newspapers who were trying to make a cheap political jibe, and those papers know nothing about Anguilla either.

So no answer then, other than the standard droning bollocks.

Question remains open, what has people ability to point to something on a map have to do with their opinion of our dear Boris ?

The chip is on his shoulder, not mine.

He hasn't been, because he cannot afford to go!

You seem to be having some form of major deficiency today... where did I lecture you on how Anguilla works ?

You dug yourself into a hole by trying to slag them off and dug yourself even a bit deeper... now you're trying the old deflect the entire point of discussion tact to deflect your contempt for the people of this Island.

At least we now know what you think of them

I think you'll also find through a simple process of "reading this thread" that you are taking 2 quoted points from 2 different members posts "me being just 1 of them" and pointing your angst at me for both comments

Seeing as the person who made those comments is the attorney general of Anguilla, I reckon he knows far fucking more than you do, sunshine.

Not really I think the likelihood of a no deal hard Brexit has increased over the weekend.

What does any of this have to do with the topic of the thread? Are you ignoring the thread topic now, or trying to derail it? You're fond of constantly telling others to stay on topic, seems you can't even manage it yourself!!!! Maybe start to practice what you preach if you want to retain any credibility or if you want people to take you seriously on here.

please tell me you are not serious with your hot take centy...

are you seriously asking why any of that is relevant... because he was your top government offical and you top diplomat at the time of what was one of the worse diasters to hit the carribbean...

if you look at the response of the french govt when it came to helping out guadelope.... and you look at the response of the dutch govt when it came to st maarten and st barts.... the british response was woeful.....

it was so bad in the virgin islands that the dutch basically helped out our islands

1 day was the dutch response... and their king and queen went out to oversee.

1 day was the french response... and macron went out there with the french foreign minister to oversee

bumbling boris' response.... 2 weeks.... 1 ship and not enough supplies!!!!!

oh and just for _eedsandy... my credentials... i have relatives on antigua and montserrat!!! good enough????

and back to centy.... the other reason the post is relevent is that the foreign sec is the head of the "global britain" project... which is suppose to help encourage trade with places such as .... erm.... china.... and erm.... india!!! they think he is a laughing stock!!!!!

if you want to know the true nature of boris... he was suppose to chair a summit of western balkan leaders yesterday..... decided not to even bother letting them know he was going to be a no show (4 hrs before he posed for his resignation letter)

so yeah... life doesn't begin and end with brexit!!!! you might be a one track pony... but your head foreign diplomat cant be!!!!

Johnson is torn to pieces in this article in the New York Times by a journalist from the London Times:

BORIS JOHNSON HAS RUINED BRITAIN

Britain is in this mess principally because the Brexiteers — led largely by Mr. Johnson — sold the country a series of lies in the lead up to the June 2016 referendum on leaving the European Union. They did so because neither Mr. Johnson nor his fellow leader of the Leave campaign, Michael Gove, intended, wanted or expected to win.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/opinion/boris-johnson-resignation-brexit.html?smid=fb-nytopinion&smtyp=cur

I tend to agree - Johnson and pals never ever thought they'd be in this position, and are utterly clueless about how to get us out of it.

I mean, Johnson did get his start making up articles about "barmy bureaucratics in Brussels", I'm not surprised the whole thing has gotten well out of hand as he's fallen for his own con.

It’s interesting even in his resignation letter he references something which is false... while he is saying the EU prevented his lower lorries in London (and so shows a lack of sovereignty) in practice the EU were introducing it. I’m not sure they’d prevent anyone fast tracking a proposed change.... indeed one report suggest the Uk were against the change.... barmy.

"I mean, Johnson did get his start making up articles about "barmy bureaucratics in Brussels", I'm not surprised the whole thing has gotten well out of hand as he's fallen for his own con. "

Today I met up with a friend who knew him back when he was a journalist in Brussels.
