He's being put into what is essentially Brexiteer quarantine though. Davis's department had no power and it'll continue to be that way. They haven't even been involved in the negotiations for months now.

Davis' letter is hilarious. Reading only that, you'd think he's been negotiating tooth and nails non-stop since 2 years only to be betrayed by the person he trusted most.
The 16-26 is 73% which seems reasonable. The bars at the top show 63% and doesn't specify an age bracket, I assume it's everyone?
Edit: never mind, the 73% is with don't know/wouldn't vote removed. I guess the other countries are 16-26 as well then, pretty misleading image

Aside from misleading parliament about impact assessments and drinking the Commons bar dry, what the actual fuck was he doing for the last two years?
Ok never mind the economic arguments, we need to cancel Brexit at least until the EU drops daylight savings
If Boris quits, will it be the end of May? I can't imagine there aren't 40 Torys that want her out.
They may well get the numbers to trigger a no confidence vote, but not enough to win it. And even then, who'd actually want to stand against her in a leadership vote?
But then they'd have to go through that show, and we're 9 months from Brexit... it would be crazy to try and oust her now.
The people who want her out are also delighted at the prospect of a cliff edge nose dive.
It would, but historically Tories love a bit of internal blood letting and if they scent it in the water they may forget themselves and just go for it

Can this be good? Maybe the right people will have a voice finally and set things straight? Trying to be optimistic.
Whether it's good or not hinges entirely on
1) Whether they have enough Brexiteers to force then win a leadership contest (which seems highly unlikely)
2) Whether the government collapses and we get an election out of it and the Tories lose even more seats than last time (because historically, the British public don't vote for collapsing parties and also they'll become the party of "Hard Brexit" which will alienate a LOT of voters.)
Worst case scenario is they push for a leadership challenge, win, replace May with someone like BoJo the Clown who is in favour of a Hard Brexit, we crash out of the EU and the country falls apart economically in a disaster that will take decades to repair.
Best case scenarios are either, May holds on and continues pushing for her Softer brexit plan that has already been rejected, it gets rejected again, she accepts an actual Soft Brexit deal from the EU because she has no other choice
or
We get a snap election, Labour win (preferably propped up by a Pro-Remain party like SNP) and we either stop the whole Brexit process or at least go for the Softest possible Brexit.

Woof. Nasty.
If I was May I'd get vindictive now - I'd even potentially look into withdrawing article 50. Like, fuck 'em. It's time to start pitting the two sides against each other if a compromise isn't good enough.

Not if they manage to oust May and she gets replaced by Boris or JRM it isn't.
Boris is never winning man he isn't that well liked, specially after today. Hard Brexit is dead, some just have to accept it.
As a Yank, I do so love how the House of Commons always sounds it's just about to break out in a barroom argument.
I dunno, this backlash is giving me the fear
Chequers wasn't workable but it was at least a base, and put across the intention for a soft brexit
I agree Boris isn't likely to win. JRM is another matter for some bizarre reason.
