He tweeted recently, if Brexit started floundering, he would return to front line politics. He received thousands of replies listing his seven failures at elections to become an MP.
How do you return to something you've never been? He only became an MEP because the European elections were proportional representation.

Don't underestimate the arrogance of those who are power hungry & keen to protect their fortunes.
He can't return to somewhere he has never been.

Ukip will parachute him in to being their leader, but that will take a few weeks. At the moment he is just a gob with no party.

I think a general election (or a second referendum) would be the only way to make sort this out one way or the other, but it is not going to happen as the Tory Party would tear itself apart and individual politicians are in srlfpreservation mode.
And all the "Will of the people" stuff is rubbish, because I seriously think the majority of people did not realise what they were voting for or against on either side. Certainly anybody who takes it as a clear vote for a hard Brexit is in cloud cuckoo land.

Exactly, despite the BBC inviting him to spout his opinion at every given opportunity, yet ignoring Caroline Lucas, who was, at one point, also leader of her party, but, also, more relevantly, a sitting MP.

Always worth reminding people of this
So, how far does your 'sensible planning' go?
Do we build a border in NI?
Do we put in customs posts?
Do we start building lorry parks at all ports?
Do we start setting up customs facilities at all ports and airports?
Do we employ companies to start designing, building and testing the IT systems required for WTO rules and tariffs?
Do we start employing and training the huge number of staff to administer all of this?
After all, we will want the EU to think we are serious about this
Absolutely while the country is still in the grip of austerity were we can not provide homes, care for the young and old, underfunding of Schools, the NHS the Police and Fire services, high streets closing the suggestion that the UK needs to spend what would be billions on the above just to postulate a position that no one in their right mind would really choose is bizarre, when what is now required and was not provided by David Davis is a negotiating position that is not constrained by ideological dogma but is more open to compromise
My view right from the beginning of this process that David Davis, Boris Johnson and Liam Fox were the three worst people apart from Nigel Farage you could pick for such an important role, now I read that Michael Gove might get the Brexit secretaries job nasty little man that he is I have to begrudgingly admit he is the most able political individual within this government and is far more likley to deliver Brexit that David Davis ever was

There are several conflicting reports as to whether Suella Braverman has actually resigned as well or not. I doubt she even knows herself.

I am angry and fed up of getting told that it is easy and we can just walk away, that I am some sort of coward, or lack ambition by ****wits who have nothing to back their opinion but blind hope and nostalgia for early closing on Wednesdays.
Brexit won't happen on the 29th March 2019.

........ Maybe the EU will step in at the eleventh hour with some sort of a deal to save us, bailing us out of a hard brexit suicide. Maybe not. And some peope still think this is all great.
Perhaps, "Theresa, how you would you feel if we all pretended the last two years hadn't happened..." Would work for me provided there was still a "...and Albion remain promoted to the Premier League..." clause

Unless they make a new bill and approve and pass it through parliament, it will

You might not like Grayling - but at least he got the trains running on time. Er…………………….this is a man who could literally de-rail Brexit. Surely the man to replace Davis is Fox ('the easiest' etc etc)
The rumour is that it's going to be Grayling. So expect a long series of delays ... no chance of Brexit in March "The government are sorry to announce ...."

after all, Fox has done so well in his current brief.
This has been done DELIBARATELY to stop people talking in the STREETS being OUTRAGIED about the width of stripes in the new Albion KIT when it is LAUNCHED later today.
