The Guardian on Boris Johnson Resignation speech - Update 2 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The left wing media would get their knickers in a real twist if Boris Johnson become Conservative leader and Prime Minister, they must know that Boris would beat Jeremy Corbyn in any General Election.   Thus they undercut the power of the speech, it will be interesting to see the developments during the day, the House of Commons does not go into recess in till next week, the Brexit supporters could still go for a vote of confidence in the PM, but as the above article states the Brexit supporters might not have the votes to win such a confidence vote. 

Boris Johnson LEADERSHIP Contender ? - Update - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

This could be the week that former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson declares that he challenges PM May for the keys to No 10.   This resignation speech could be a jump off for Brexit supporters to call a vote of confidence in the PM, if the PM fails to get a majority that could lead to a leadership contest in the middle of the Brexit talks.  Thus far it seems that the 48 letters needed for a confidence vote has not been reached, how long can this political crisis go on, will there be more Cabinet resignations, one never knows, interesting few weeks ahead for PM May and the UK.
