Team Gove tell me they will not give any guidance on his future at this time. Asked if he is resigning, I was told "no comment".
Anne-Marie Trevelyan has gone, whoever that was.

Are these people leaving because it’s too much Brexit or not enough Brexit?

I think they've all been brexit supporters, so not enough brexit. I think only Jo Johnson has left because it was too much brexit, and that was a few days ago.
Let's be clear, Brexit Secretary Raab has resigned because the Brexit that Brexit Secretary Raab negotiated is insufficiently Brexit.

Looked at the list of resigning MPs this year... Who the frig is Guto Bebb? Was he one of Jabba's bounty Hunters?
Here he is. Third from the back row when you're looking from the left corner. Next to the weird looking guy holding the Brexit papers.
Mr Dunt not mincing his words today.

When he took the post, after the resignation of his predecessor in similar circumstances, he knew the outlines of what May was negotiating. He knew about the Irish backstop. But he sat there, issued weak threats, and then finally, when it was published, resigned. He is a shambles in human form, a chancer who got found out.
Jacob Shit-Face calling for a vote of no confidence in May.
Perhaps he'll take over and lead us to the glorious No Deal uplands!

I wonder if the telephone call with the Tangerine Tosspot was the last straw for Mrs May, and put her in "fuck this shit" mode.

My favorite "what if" - May loses confidence vote, Tories elect new leader who can't command confidence of House. Then have May as PM unable to govern, unable to call election (FT parl act), and unable to resign as she can't advise Queen on successor.

I think that if that were the case, and the Tory position switched to ditching Brexit, I would vote for them over Labour, because I think staying in the EU with a tory government is a net better position than being out of the EU with Labour's current offerings.

I think a lot of folks are feeling that way.
It must be bad..
I don't think Bill gets no blame in this. Good on him for coming around to a sensible way of thinking, but fuck you for taking so goddamned long Bill, you prick.
There's not really vast swathes of Bills in the polls are there?
My breaking news app on my phone decided that the correct headline for this business story about Paul May was 'May quits with immediate effect'. Good work, internet!
Heard the PM's opening remarks then when she just stopped without resigning, calling the whole thing off, or just grabbing a guitar saying 'here's Wonderwall' I switched off.
I'm toying with writing again to my MP asking her, given she read the whole thing this morning, the ways it's better than the current arrangements but I think I'm just going to get more angry again and it ain't healthy.

I'm pretty sure the opening of her speech was trolling everyone to think she was about to resign, or just left over from an alternative speech where she was resigning.
+1 for "fuck bill"

No style either. We want mad dashes to the airport to board that free flight to South America all deposed leaders are entitled to.
Reports that a vote of no confidence in May now 'likely' and that the required number of letters are in.
Who the fuck are they going to replace her with. Fucking Johnson? Fucking Mogg?

If Michael Gove becomes Prime Minister then we've hit the worst ending and need to reset to 2010.

Davis resigned from government. He’s just a back bench MP now. So on who’s authority is he negotiating with the US under?

I have spent the last few days in Washington talking to US Government Trade and Treasury officials encouraging a free trade deal with the UK. Excellent response. They have already started on the procedures to allow negotiations to start immediately once we leave the EU in March.

I guess we have to assume that they haven't got the letters to force a no-confidence vote, and that ol' May is going to stagger on till the bitter end.
Splendid, now we will get the Red, White and Blue Brexit we were promised!

The Welsh town of Llanelli – which voted 56.7 per cent to leave the EU in the referendum – has been left reeling after a major manufacturer upped sticks due to Brexit.
Global firm Schaeffler announced this week that it is to close its plant in Llanelli due to uncertainty over Britain’s departure from the European Union.
The closure was described as the “tremor that will lead to the Brexit earthquake” in the Welsh Assembly, with Juergen Ziegler, the company’s regional CEO, saying that the “need to plan for various complex scenarios” due to Brexit had played a part in their decision to leave Wales.
“A global business needs to regularly review market conditions and strive to optimise its footprint across different regions,” he said.
“The proposed measures we have taken for the UK reflect this business reality.”
