Tories to topple their own LEADER if no deal forced through

This looks like it could get interesting.

Nigel Farage: You CANNOT trust Boris Johnson with Brexit ‘political cardsharp!’

So looks like the Brexit party will be going for it, if there is a GE.

Agree with his analysis though, Boris will probably not deliver Brexit, not a real one anyway.

Unicorns are starting to break out of the stables and are now galloping around Tory MPs' interviews.

Now that May is out of the way there will be nothing to stop a quick sensible agreement with the EU to remove those unpleasant clauses from the withdrawal agreement.

When was the last time the starting favourite won a Tory leadership election?

Anyway, you can get 15/8 on Johnson as next PM.

I can guarantee the next PM will be a Johnson. In type if not name.

OK so she stays on until Bojo is appointed. As she pointed out the new PM will have to get a majority in Parliament.

It's difficult to see the government surviving without a GE.

Hard to see them surviving with a GE....

I'm presuming that Nigel Farage will put his Brexit party back in the box for a GE

He might have a taste for it by then if the bookies are to be believed

I'm presuming that Nigel Farage will put his Brexit party back in the box for a GE, some stragglers though will switch back to UKIP, and that means the opposition support will be split, but the Tories will pickup that 35% from the Brexit party and lose a few percent of the Brino voters who are currently supportíng the Tories.

This could get interesting. Scary, but interesting.

OK apparently Bojo's campaign management team is planning for a GE.

Looks like Brenda from Bristol failed to thwart it.

So it now looks like the U.K. is to have a new PM who has not been elected by the public to push a hard Brexit never envisaged by the referendum supporter by a minority government made up of a party that’s been decimated at the polls

Apparently the PM's crest is on the lectern which is unusual for a resignation speech.

hmmm, this indicates that it might not be just a resignation speech.

Then again maybe this is a myth about the lectern .
