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.

I don't think there is an obvious AIBU. If you want a general conversation, that's what the Chat section is for.

Or, indeed, a "Brexit" section.

That was it @LulMarie :)

By the time we ever get there to sign a deal it will be so watered down it wont be worth the paper it is written on

It needs someone like trump to negotiate this that is not afraid to not conform or worry about pissing a people off

Agreed, billysboy.

It would take a petulent, ignorant CLOWN such as TRUMP to negotiate a HARD BREXIT deal to put the country in the complete SHIT.

Indeed, abi.

Anyone who thinks Trump is good at negotiating, hasn't been paying attention.

He's shit at it. He agrees things to people's faces and five minutes later reneges. He's done the same thing his whole business life, and is doing the same thing in his political life.

That's why his businesses keep going bankrupt. Why no one in the US would lend to him any more and he ended up accepting money from the Russians. He did it a couple of weeks ago at the G7, and his photo-op negotiations with Kim Jong Un are crashing and burning already (which may be just as well, as it looks like Trump got played by Kim to give away a lot more than the US got).

Morals of the story:
– being rude to people isn't actually enough;
– claiming on telly to be some hotshot isn't actually enough.
At some point, you actually have to do your job properly – or the company / country will go down the pan.

Yes it is obvious!

News in a couple of hours ago that Dominic Raab is the new Brexit Secretary.

Dominic Rabb - just seen this on twitter. Do you think he has changed his views since 2011?

Procrastinator, as Boris would say, you can't polish a turd. I should imagine he's still much the same, and therefore still has a fractious relationship with May. I cannot understand for the life of me why she appointed him apart from maybe to throw him under the bus. He was a disaster trying to advocate for the British Bill of Rights - all slogan, no substance. Or as The Thick of It would say, double wank and shit chips. 😂

Boris gone now!

Boris now gone, who will be next?

Boris now gone, who will be next?

Hopefully all of them. Useless lot.

Apparently Boris Johnson’s just resigned. According to the Guardian.

Time for the 3rd General Election in 5 years. Problem is who the hell do we vote for? None of the parties are up to the job

Why do you think Boris has resigned? Is he trying to prepare himself for a leadership challenge that may or may not happen??

OMG it’s all falling to bits. And their own bloody fault. But it’s us lot that suffer.

That despicable man should have been sacked a long time ago!!

As Scary admitted, the brexiteers really haven't got a scooby - not two years ago, not now.

They really want to bring the country to its knees. Nice.

Boris is an entitled posh boy and a fecker . Which is the answer to any question about Boris.

All I can say is if Labour want to be in with a chance they need to dump that useless git that's running their ship!

Boris shat himself and resigned because he’s terrified of being the last major Brexiter left holding the baby now the massively predictable shit has hit the fan. Brexit cannot be delivered without causing huge economic damage.

They all want to distance themselves and begin to throwout excuses.

Wonder why Gove didn't get the Davis job? Probably because he's also an untrustworthy fecker hanging on for the Foreign Office job. Good job he's so good with people and makes a great impression

If Boris wanted to lead he shouldn’t have run away from the shitty stick two years ago.

Rees-Mogg anyone?

Good God.

I'm watching PM in the commons. I've followed politics and international relations across the world for a long time... I genuinely for the first time cannot understand what on earth anyone is thinking. They don't know who they arguing with anymore, it's insane.

I think they've all lost their minds.

Laura Kuenssberg has apparently tweeted that 48 letters for a no confidence vote has been received, someone has told TM this in a question!

JB is such a twat - he told off a MP with a speech impediment who was trying to speak over shouting people around her for using the word "you", as "we don't use the word you in this chamber (we can be sexist and sit with feet up hands on balls as he is doing whilst shouting this), set an example for newer members".

Yes, someone with a speech impediment tripping over words and managing to get out the word "you" under pressure of shouting people and time rather than managing a "my honourable friend" is clearly the thing to be concerned about.

JRM - Holy crap, I've been reading up to now, haven't seem his speak. I'm freaked out, he's like a creepy floating grip reaper.

F&£% someone just suggested discussing with President Trump. Yes, fabulous idea, have a chat with the unhinged, that will bring answers!
