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. |

Another Wally bites the dust. 2 in a day. Wahey at least a sensible plan has come forth. Basically it's as you were peeps. Provided we don't rock the EU boat too much and hang on at the back in our own little dingy we'll be alright.
Let's just let the Italian Iceberg sort out the EU Titanic and then we can all say we told you so and be in our own little life raft and try to avoid getting sucked down by the down draft. |

Did the Italian government have an in/out referendum in their manifesto? |

no they don’t . there to many benefits for the Italians to leave on their own intend. However the Italian debt burden is a ticking time bomb for the EURO zone which cannot be defused by just using the printery |

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. |

"So, what's everyone buying for their No Deal food stockpiles before prices double?"
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 think there will be a leadership challenge sometime this week. Brexit Tory MP's are reported to nearly have the 48 signatures needed to force a leadership challenge. |

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. |

Stop moaning Centaur. Stop being so negative.
Back Brexit. Get behind it.
Our Parliament can prevent the government from doing anything against the public interest right? They have the final say.
Our judiciary can make impartial judgements. They aren't enemies of the people are they?
Perhaps we need to give the process a hand with a coup? Just temporary you know. To get the job done. Then we'll reinstate it  |

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?

Well you posted a thread about it and then you disappeared as soon as England started progressing through the knock out stages. Must have come as a big shock for you, lol. Do you think they have got this far purely on luck (which is what you seemed to suggest in the other thread)? |

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. |

I think the twitter post from one of the countries he visited sums up his skills and should his destination into oblivion too:
'Meeting the worst Foreign Secretary we’ve ever had amongst the destruction of Hurricane Irma in Anguilla. Disinterested and out of his depth he cared nothing for our situation. Good riddance' 
The New York Times 'Good Riddance, Boris Johnson'
As the Guardian put it 'Mr Johnson is the most overrated politician in Britain, especially by himself'
Incompetent and not interested in the general population's wellbeing in the slightest. |

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? |

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 ? |

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 |

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. |

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?
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.

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. |

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