    I think we can all agree with that -

      Fuck. Johnson rules himself of leadership.

        If Boris pulls out then Gove pulls out, does May get the coronation without even having to go to an MP vote?

          So the truism holds that Tory backstabbers do not get the leadership. It goes to the next loyalist in line (Major/May).

          I doubt that May will give the Brexiters everything they want, such as a swift Article 50.

            I thought Johnson might be smart enough to let someone else do the hard work now.

              May has the experience and maybe she can limit the extra damage that a hasty exit would have caused.

                  What do you fancy in the 2.45 at Uttoxeter, E10?

                    May might prove less unpopular in Liverpool, she apparently did really good work on behalf of the Hillsborough families (eg ensuring they got legal aid)

                      Listening to Boris' statement on the BBC World Service. So far:

                      - Leaving the EU allows the UK to address income inequality.

                      - Crime on buses in London has been reduced.

                      - He won't run for PM.

                      What a buffoon.

                        My main problem with Theresa May is that she shares her name with a soft-core porn star from the late 1980s and I can't quite shake the mental image that they might be one and the same.

                          Sovereignty man, Andrew Rosindell, didn't seem too bothered about Tory members choosing the PM.

                              It's ironic that after all the rhetoric of the last three months, you're likely to end up with another pro-Remain PM.

                                  It's turning into that episode of The Thick Of It where they're trying to pick a party leader.

                                    Theresa May will have realised the Brexit clusterfuck. She must think she can stick a Brexiter in the Foreign Office and insulate herself. One for Gove, I'd say, if the job didn't involve bombing too.

                                      Further evidence, as if it was needed, that Boris never thought leave would win nor that it was a good idea.

                                        Quite, the 'h' in her name is all that's protecting the general public from a hell of a shock if they Google her to find out more about their likely next PM.

                                            If old Boris fucks off to earn easy money and be like Portillo, "stabbed Boris Johnson in the back" could be a meme v Gove. What a clumsy oaf to slag Johnson off instead of saying something bland about himself.

                                              You know as well as I do that negative leaks and briefings are Gove's modus operandi. I'm not sure if he has it in him to act any other way.

                                              A critical email from his wife about a rival is about as Govey a way of doing this as could be imagined.

                                                He'd have got away with that amid some froth about a private email- like the one he was using for DfE business.

                                                The statement about Johnson not having leadership qualities was a step too far. Just say "feel I can bring something".
