Boris goes!!

Boris Johnson took longer than David Davis, the former Brexit Secretary, to hand in his resignation after the Chequers cabinet Alice in Wonderland session last Friday where Alice and her tea party invitees decided to back her plan for a soft-as-icecream Brexit plan. But then Boris needed slightly longer to calculate his odds of maybe becoming the next prime minister. Should he stay or go? If he stayed, would that screw up his chance of becoming leader, if he resigned, would that screw up his chance of becoming leader? Difficult one that. If he had stayed, everyone of his colleagues and non-colleagues would have thought Boris had swallowed his pride, his integrity, his meaning in life, his ambition to be leader etc etc. So now he has resigned, what are his chances of becoming leader to replace Theresa Fall when she falls on her sword and goes to live in the furthest corner of the British Isles, to get as far away as possible from her untrustworthy, pestilential cabinet comrades? I would say close to nil. David Davis did the honourable thing by resigning as soon as he felt it was appropriate. Then he made it clear he did NOT want to replace May and actually suggested she should be backed. Politics can be weird like that sometimes. But Boris had his calculations to make before popping over to Number 10 Downing St. Should he be a Leaver or a Remainer, and I'm not talking Brexit here? Well now we know, he's a Leaver (of the Cabinet). He's gone, finished. As a wit on the the Red Dwarf television show once said. "He's gone, buddy, and the good news is he's gone, buddy." Or words to that effect. Michael Gove is the dormouse in the Alice tea party teapot. The Environment Secretary, and one-time Tory leader hopeful, is as Brexit-radical as Boris and Davis and that other Brexiteer, Liam Fox, but he swallowed the cucumber sandwiches and the whole of his former political life at Chequers and came bouncing out - ok, dormice don't bounce - in favour of Theresa's plan and for supporting the prime minister in every way possible for the good of the nation etc etc. How did he not keep the smile from his face? Does he now think, after Boris's departure that he, yes he, oh my goodness he, might replace Theresa? Is there anyone not scheming in the May cabinet? Jeremy Corbyn Esq with your Marxist companions, I think you may have to prepare yourself for government. Meanwhile, as an investment, I'm putting a deposit down on an igloo.
