David Davis resigning as Brexit Secretary

[Snickerdoodles]

Apparently David Davis has resigned as Brexit Secretary .

There’s a Guardian article here with reports that he may have resigned - www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/08/david-davis-resigns-as-brexit-secretary-reports-say.

Hilarious.
He's one of the few brexiteers thick enough not to realise what a poisoned chalice a successful leadership challenge would be.
Oh please let this be the start of the implosion of the whole party.

If true, will others follow his lead?

Gove will not anyway, he thinks he will be the next PM so is sucking up to TM at the moment.

Politics is just so hungry for power isn't it.

The Beeb have reported it. Or at least what they know so far.

Bone idle and thick as mince. The rats have started to desert the ship.

Oh..... are my hopes up for nothing?!

rats and sinking ships come to mind...

It’s also on the Mail Online now - www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5931637/The-inside-story-fateful-Brexit-summit-Chequers.html.

Sorry, it’s this link from the Mail Online - www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5931823/David-Davis-resigns-Brexit-Secretary.html.

May’s cabinet ‘agreement’ lasted just over 48 hours. What an absolute shower of useless, incompetent buffoons.

Keep ratcheting up the pressure Mr Barnier. The UK government will collapse soon, and we will ge5 the opportunity to vote to kill Brexit once and for all.

That Cabinet Meeting went well...🤔😏

How often has he threatened to resign now? I lost count.

Dear God we had 2 years to sort out the whole thing, we gave the job to a potato and now the potato has resigned. Is there anyone competent to appoint to the role?

I think it lasted less than 48hours as I heard BJ apparently was using colourful language/swearing about the agreement. What a mess.

Anyone give me a reason for his resignation, whilst Gove and Buffoon Boris have decided to stay (for now).

At least he had the courage of his convictions. The rest of them are looking shaky and sycophantic now.

He met Barnier for just 4 hours this year. That was his actual job. Will anyone seriously notice he's gone?

Am hearing reports that another Minister will go also. No names yet.

Maybe Fox?

How long until Boris challenges a leadership contest

I would prefer May stay in place it will be a softer Brexit than Boris and co

And there isn’t a strong enough party to kill Brexit as Labour certainly won’t take that stance

Reality is coming home!

Taking someone with him.....

Any guesses/hopes?

Lol @TheFoodtheFadandtheFugly

Face freezing as I try to imagine who tm will appoint in his place.

Please not Andrea Leadsom. Please not Chris Grayling. Please not Gavin Williamson. Oh God I can't think of anyone who feels like a good option. Gove? At least he's not a fool?

Thank god, maybe we will get a proper Brexit now. My vote is for Gove taking over.

Someone from the Remain side to replace him (and his fellow leaver) would send a message.

Honestly who would want to be in power at all? Great opportunity for May to hang up her hat and go walking in Europe forever. Let the morons at it.

She will be remembered for trying to put a kind of sensible option in place anyway, if nothing else.

She created the department - and then took away all his power by removing Olly Robbins to her own office and using him to do all the work. David Davis has spent 4 hours with Barnier this year ... maybe she will just save the money and close down the department?

Peston is reporting that Brexiteer Tory MPs are writing letters of no confidence in May to the party chairman.

There could be a leadership challenge.
