maybe someday you Irish pricks might grow a pair now that your betters have shown you how to do it
He doesnt want to have to go to Europe to negotiate this. Far better to fall now. Bad and all as his legacy is now, the negotiations would be seen to be a step too far.
Why would anyone be surprised by this? His position is untenable, he has been humiliated.
Fair play good coverage bud
Because the markets short term
He was expected to stay short term

Cameron speaking now.
He looks fairly mugged off.
Heâs lining it up. Heâs goingâŚ
He has good and propper

Chalk it down
Adios.
Almost certainly. But there could be some upside for Ireland in the short term. Ultimately itâs all too unpredictable.
Irish people should be less surprised by this than anyone, as we understand the stupidity of British nationalism better than anyone else. But the flipside is that in recent times the EU leadership acted in a manner that was utterly tyrannical. It didnât go unnoticed. And while this was in large part a vote for fewer foreigners and the union jack, it was a vote against Brussels arrogance as well.
3 months
New PM by October.
His position is totally untenable, how can anyone be surprised by this? Cheerio Dodgy Dave
Sam looking regal there.
Very emotional there from David.
Boris and Nige as Co-PMs
Surprised if he had gone straight away, which is what the BBCâs initial report suggested.
Câmon Tim, he could hardly stay around and negotiate GBâs exit with the EU.
It will be interesting to see who becomes next leader of the Tories. Youâd imagine Boris will be the favourite now but itâs a deeply divided party and I wouldnât be surprised if a John Major style compromise candidate emerges.
