David Davis finally fecked off
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
Wenger In!
Rees Mogg for Brexit Secretary?
Wonder if we will see a domino effect regarding resignations?
More likely to resign at this point, I can only see someone who will be willing to tow the May line being appointed.
Damn. The country has lost one of its noblest warriors.
Yeah, no way she'd appoint someone who is just as opposed to any kind of compromise as Davis was. Do wonder if she'll also go for a Major style "put up or shut up" contest just to feck over the rebels and end the speculation.
Gove has nailed his colours to May's mast so there'll be nothing new from him, the pressure is firmly on Boris now.
Gonna be a fun week for May with Trump visiting too. I'll be surprised if she's still there by the end of September. Rees-Mogg v Boris Johnson leadership challenge with Rees-Mogg as the next PM is how I see things going.
So May urged the EU to enter serious discussions (about a proposal that to me looks like it will be dismissed within seconds) hours before their British counterpart resigned. Am I understanding this correctly?
Another one gone from the Department of exiting the EU in Steve Baker.
I guess it's an interesting start to the week.
I guess it's an interesting start to the week.
The proposal is only a start to the discussions, May has conferred with the civil service that further more concessions will have to be made. That likely concessions is probably what is prompting the start of the Brexiteers resigning.

So Davis spent two years pissing around doing feck all but complaining and lying, now finally chucked it.
Wouldn't be surprised if Davis was simply looking for a veil under which to escape the useless job he is doing.
Here we go. The rats are jumping ship.
Will May survive?
Will May survive?

let the schadenfreude begin
Her first speech as PM gave a false ray of hope when she talked about helping the 'just getting bys' etc. Sadly that hope of a surprisingly progressive Tory administration soon disappeared as this whole shitshow unfolded.
The swastika courtsey was something.
Davids hard Brexit junior ministers Suella Braverman (good name) and Steve Baker (bad name) also resigned.
And so it begins. What’s Boris gonna do now?
Get one of his friends wives pregnant as a celebration
Yes should be a straightforward yes/no question. Like “Do we even know what the feck we want?”

I’m not sure he wants this now. Boris is forever playing the long gamoe, never sticking his neck out. This will bring the focus back on him.
I reckon he’d prefer to drag this out till the negotiations with EU fall apart and then blame it on May and try to force her to resign while also getting a de facto hard Brexit
This is all such excellent news, i feel like i have won the wc myself. Tories, the gift that keeps on giving. I'm so happy .
I reckon if you took the first and last names of everyone who voted leave you'd average David Davis
Don't worry, Corbyn still has you 5 points behind and always will.
I'm sure he would but his hand has been forced. He cant blame it on May if he doesn't stage a challenge now. He either has to get behind a soft brexit or be responsible for a no deal brexit.
