It would conveniently leave Boris Johnson lacking any kind of ministerial experience...
Just over a year ago, he won a staggering victory in the General Election. Hubris and Nemesis, once again.
On-topic: please vote for Priti Patel or Justine Greening. I've got small stakes on them at 50/1 each.
Dave sticking the knife in.
Time to pull out those Boris two referendum quotes
Of course, had he not got into the gutter in the first place but remained above it he might have stayed on today.
What a fucking mess.
I'm glad I voted Remain. At least I'll have the moral high ground.
What have the 17m done?
Fox News reporting the UK has voted to leave the "UN" https://t.co/AGXXNb2neh
If you're in any way surprised then I'm surprised, some of us have been predicting this since the referendum was announced.
Its hardly Sol Campbell leaving Spurs for Arsenal, its simply a self serving careerist accepting his fate, no big deal.
How has it come to pass that I'm upset at a Tory PM quitting
Well done TSE last night

Instead he's the new Chamberlain.
Best he goes now.
He was asked repeatedly if he would resign if it was a Leave vote and he said he wouldn't .
Boris in the end proved himself as an asset in the campaign, so it would make sense that he becomes next prime minister, Gove as Chancellor perhaps, and I can certainly see a negotiated deal involving some sort of EFTA type option, to be approved in a general election soon after.
UKIP will not be dead after this, Farage has a good couple years ahead.
Inevitable that Cameron resigned, a good speech from him, his voice broke a little towards the end.
Now to work. Uncertainty. = opportunity
Brown signed Lisbon FFS but no complaints then or is it only Labour leaders that can take momentous decisions behind closed doors against the will of the voters having refused a referendum that was originally offered in the manifesto?
I may be over-reading it, but I took that as no reshuffle before the new leadership is selected
Associate membership?
Mr. Sandpit, no idea. He'd've won convincingly. I can only assume it was complacent arrogance.
Oh, and Anna Soubry should leave the Tory Party.
Once Cameron had opened the Pandora's box of the referendum to appease the fruitcakes in his party, this die was cast.
Anyway, for a Tory, I actually quite like Cameron. He played a blinder at CHOGM in 2015 for which I will always be eternally thankful.
All those folks who are crying about Brexit - who did you vote for in GE 15? - you had a clear choice between Euro sceptic parties and pro EU parties.
A sad end.
I do wonder if Andrea Leadsom might just run.
It's fantasy land...
EDIT - sorry I will rewrite that
The
democratic majorityracist xenophobic little Englanders opened the box and decided rightly or wrongly, they didn't like the booby prize on offer.Perhaps that's more to your liking?
People, I'd guess, felt taken for granted and ignored for too long. Soubry on the BBC said a layer of tolerance had been removed, but that's partly because their concerns have been ignored, ridiculed or condemned as racist/xenophobic for so long. You can't persuade someone to vote for you by jabbing a finger their way and shouting their view is bigoted.
Will Corbyn go? Labour actually decapitating a leader might be the most surprising story today.
This one even more genuine than previously. You know what they say about sincerity..
And the right thing to do. I think he will be remembered as a great PM. Certainly an interesting one, for future exam questions.
And now? The candidates? Dear god help us all.
It's hard to see past Johnson and May, or possibly Hammond.
The price it costs to regain democracy gets higher & higher the longer we leave it.
FTSE climbing, less than 5% off now.
How does the saying go? What do they know of England, who only London know?
Anyway, time for reflection and analysis.
