The Tory MPs might as well trigger their leadership election and let's get it over with. Utter disaster of a government.

I’m going to stick my neck out and predict that Boris is about to offer Gove a top job in return for his enthusiastic support in a leadership challenge. Look out for a leadership challenge from Boris within the next week or two.

Sources are saying even more resignations are possible.

Has anything in the past couple of years given us reason to believe Gove's view of Boris' incompetence has changed? Not sure, even with Gove's support, Boris would get 153 supporters in the Tory Parliamentary Party either.

The hard Brexit you now seek was never put before the voters by the official Leave campaign:

http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/campaign.html



It is disingenuous to now claim that Leavers, en-masse, wanted a hard Brexit under WTO rules with all the economic damage that would deliver.

A lot of Leavers did not vote to be poorer and they were promised they would not be.
A vote to leave clearly meant leaving the EU and all its institutions. I am absolutely positive that this is what the Brexiteers voted for. Making our own trade deals was an important part of that, so leaving the customs union was taken as read.

Hardly. What Theresa May should do now is to admit that the government has failed to reach an agreement on a possible deal with the EU, and consequently, the negotiations are off. We will revert to WTO rules on Brexit Day.

In the meantime, she should advise the EU that we are happy to discuss any proposals they may have to smooth the way (including frictionless borders) provided that such proposals honour the result of the referendum.

Now that would be strong leadership.
