Boris Johnson has launched a scathing attack on Theresa May's Brexit strategy, saying the "dream is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt".

His resignation came hours after Brexit Secretary David Davis quit the cabinet.

Brilliant terminology. Telling the UK that Britain is being given the “status of a colony” has got to sting! How the mighty have fallen! The UK needs to reclaim its sovereignty.

I agree...when they take down a PM it is brutal. They did it to Maggie

Called it yesterday. I was thinking of Trump’s impending visit, and a foursome on the Trump golf course in Scotland - the Donald, Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, and Tommy Robinson. Heads would explode.

Since we’re indulging in wishful thinking... How about Julian Assange for a fifth? :P

We’d have to spring either him or Tommy, but why not?

The Britons, the French, the Germans all need to figure out fast that who they thought they elected to be national leaders, have turned out to be international Quislings.

Michael Gove, Environment Secretary, will challenge Boris Johnson for leadership. There may be another challenger or two as a kind of compromise. Calling an election seems very unlikely.

“She cant survive this...”

Speaking of “suffocation,” with a honker like May has, she’s gobbling up an unfair share of the available oxygen.

“Englands version of Hillary but without the horrendous pantsuits and personality.”

But with a nose that replaces Hillary’s a$$ as her “most notable” bodily feature. Maybe when May is gone from 10 Downing Street, she can move to France and get a job “nosing” for truffles.
