Suella Braverman (had never heard of her to be honest) also rumoured to have now quit so that's most of the department leads gone.

The Brexit shambles many predicted is now playing out for real.
Cue announcement that Britain will stay in the single market and Customs Union after all.
Rumours Boris is resigning later today too.

Rees Mogg has no post to resign from, though he would if he did I suppose.

May getting a grip on it now?
Hardliners sidelined, the more who quit the better for her. Davis was lazy anyway. Waffled away in Parliamentary committees etc.
What wasn’t widely reported is that she had a private meeting with Merkel in Berlin last week just before the cabinet away day. The plans she is proposing would have been discussed, and if the reaction wasn’t outrightly hostile she must be hopeful that at least basis for progress has been achieved.

Election by autumn and Team Scotland have already primed their jets in preparation. Pleasing.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

The sad thing is an election won't change a thing.
From what I can gather, Corbyn's Brexit vision doesn't really differ from May's one.
Both seem to accept the UK will have to remain in the CU and SM so, I ask, why even leave at all when the UK no longer has a say in how it's run?

It's a bit of a paradox that one isn't it. On the one hand it seems the right thing to economically but on the other hand it almost seems to defeat the object of leaving.

Isn't it the same with any divorce? Easy to point to things that would be better in isolation but overall you're in too deep and going through with it will be painful.
Ending up in this crappy netherworld was the obvious outcome. If we wanted to leave it would have been better to try and change it or take it down from within.

The logical next step is going to be May ousted, then a General Election with Boris, Gove or Rees Mogg ready to step in with their hard Brexit plan.

I predicted on here a while back she was going to try and stay in CU and was ridiculed by some. The Ukippers will be livid. Mayhem on and off the streets gauranteed.
Labour? What is the point?

I don't know how canny a game she's playing. Her hard line Brexiteers were known to her as she appointed then into her cabinet to appease them and to stay off the back benches.
Now that's no longer the case, she's in for a rough ride.
The moment I read all mobile phones were confiscates at Chequers meeting, I knew there was a standoff coming.
Absolute shambles of negotiations the past two years.
When will they realise the EU simply won't accept a tariff free trade agreement without the understanding that means a Norway or Swedish model that means freedom of movement for EU citizens?
The ball isn't in the UK's hands and as a predominant importer rather than exporter, it really never was or will be.

Eu have net trade surplus with the U.K. of £80b and we are a net contributor to the EU budget to the tune of £8b.

The eu will want to asset strip London of it's financial services crown jewels. That's one reason why their will be no deal on the UK's terms. Like Mario says money talks and Germany has a heck of alot more of it than the UK.

I'm not too sure about the toad remark.
He's had a lot more inside info than any of us and knew this day was coming a long time ago but remained silent so as to not cause a crisis in his party.
That day has passed now.
Say what you like about the Tories, they stick together privately until that breaking point then all hell is let loose.
This is just the beginning.
