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.

Looks like we're in for a political bloodbath this week. And Trump is visiting. And a football thing is happening. The news is going to be great craic

Oh god help us:)

And Trump is visiting

Oh yeah... If May is ousted this week (and I'm afraid to say I really hope she isn't - much as I can't stand her) then what happens for his visit? No PM and the governing party in disarray - that's not exactly going to create a favourable impression with the man some of our more terrifying politicians are hoping to cosy up to.

or possibly he reckons that being first to resign puts him in pole position.

He lost the leadership campaign before last to Cameron, perhaps he reckons his chances against a bunch of backstabbers

Oops. Double posted. Have reported.

If Brexit ever happens, I will eat my leg. Looks like Soros magic is working (again).

TM can shake Trumps hand and then we can get someone else to take over who is unsullied from his visit and get us out of the EU properly.

Then I wish you a long, two legged life!

Trump will go to play golf. He'll be met by invitations to Mosques and Mexican flags (as he was last time he was there), a huge balloon will be there and no one will know the difference. BJ can body double for him on the ground. Or he'll say it's all Sadiq Khan's fault.

I do agree that upper class twit Rees Mogg is odious considerably less agreeable than the Tim Nice-but-Dim (the character created by the comedian Harry Enfield), but even he has trouble competing with the utterly repellent and hair-raisingly odious Gove.

And Trump is on the way. Ye Gods. I can feel my hackles rising already.

Suella Braverman gone also.

According to what I am reading, not confirmed.

We’re fucked. In what possible way now are we not all just fucked?

Suella Braverman gone also

The good news just keeps on coming. Odious woman, hope it's true.

I would like to propose Ken Clarke as the new Brexit secretary.

I'm very sad if this is true. He was ex SAS and would have been steadfast to the end but May took over the negotiations and made him redundant. Every Remainer, I've ever met, never had a good word to say about the EU before the referendum and now suddenly they love it. I'm been wanting to leave since I voted leave the first time round in 1975.
The EU won't even agree to this new bodged deal because they think the more difficult they make it for us, the more likely we are to change our mind. All they are interested in is our money.

The Trump visit is the diplomatic equivalent of going to a dinner party with a divorcing couple. It's going to be so cringe.

If I was TM, I'd just go tomorrow and leave them all to it.

This ^^ cringe

Well the resignation letter is about as grammatically skilled as a tipsy MN looking for a bunfight with the grammar police, and, or, and ,or ,and, and, and

.....and flounce

TM pulled the Article 50 trigger 15 months ago and the cabinet is still squabbling over whether to aim the gun at our head or only at our foot.

Imichlibob - he left because he is standing by his principles. Teresa May was and still is a remainer. She is delivering a Brexit in name only. Oh and calling people ‘thick’ just because they didn’t vote in the same was as You makes you come across as really childish.

He did fuck all and looks like he’d rather spend his time propping up the golf club bar so he won’t be missed.

He spent a total of 4 hours with Barnier he never even took a pen. Olympic level laziness.

He’s realised Brexit is a distaster and not the easy divorce he thought it would be so he’s jumped so he can’t be blamed for the final outcome

If there is an autumn election looming on the back of all this ( it is being mooted on various websites already) there could then be the rise of UKIP again - i wouldn't put it past them to re- recruit Farage as leader.

I listened to LBC late friday night and lots of very hissing/ fed up Tories ringing in wanting TM's head on a plate! She will be gone soon.

I would like to propose Ken Clarke as the new Brexit secretary.

Ken Clarke for PM!

I'd be more than happy with Ken Clarke too!
