What a day it’s been.
The right decision from @BorisJohnson to resign.
The country can now move forward positively.
The @Conservatives should accelerate the choice of a successor. Let’s not make the country wait months
Can @SirGrahamBrady speed up this process?

RT @BHigginsonUK: With departure of @BorisJohnson, Brexiteer and friend of unionism @benhabib6 articulates why it's not an adversity for the union of Northern Ireland and Great Britain, but an opportunity which we as unionists must grasp.
The departure of @BorisJohnson, is not an adversity for the union of Northern Ireland and Great Britain. It is an opportunity which we must grasp.
Here is why and how 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
@CatharineHoey Whoohoo
@CatharineHoey @BrandonLewis Typical
@Sherelle_E_J Not as grave a situation as with him in charge.
RT @MichaelWCurzon: "Under no circumstances, should Johnson be rewarded for his misconduct and incompetence by incumbency. He has to go."
And go he has.
@benhabib6 in my latest in @Daily_Express insists biggest threat to Brexit was Boris staying, not going.

Boy @BorisJohnson put up one hell of a fight. The problem though is he only fought for his own personal political ambitions.
What is his legacy and how can the @Conservatives recover?
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
@CatharineHoey @BrandonLewis At this rate there won’t be a working Commons capable of passing it.
The future for Northern Ireland looks brighter this morning
RT @BrandonLewis: A decent and responsible Government relies on honesty, integrity and mutual respect - it is a matter of profound personal regret that I must leave Government as I no longer believe those values are being upheld.
I have submitted my letter of resignation to the Prime Minister.
RT @Helen_Whately: With sincere regret I am resigning from Government
Unbelievable. He’s refusing to resign.
We will now surely see a spate of further Cabinet resignations. How can he govern without an executive?
He is deeply damaging the @Conservatives
RT @TalkTV: "The Conservative party has not produced an outstanding leader since Margaret Thatcher."
Former Tory MP David Mellor: "Boris Johnson is not really a Conservative. He's a tax and spend socialist."

@Alanthehammer2 @HiortHebrides @redditchrachel Yes. It requires a PM with vision, planning and execution ability.
RT @NJ_Timothy: It may seem academic amid all the resignations, but the PM's confession that he met Alexander Lebedev, the former KGB agent with links to Putin, without officials present, and in Italy - presumably at the Lebedev villa - is very serious indeed.
@HiortHebrides @redditchrachel You can only reverse that which you have got. We haven’t yet brexited. But, in any event, we will not formally rejoin the EU.
@redditchrachel Well done Rachael. It’s a tough thing to do but you can rest assured it is the right thing.
@BelindadeLucy The democratic mandate was for the @Conservatives to Get Brexit Done. He has failed. The detail seems lost on most but he has betrayed Brexit.
We just need to keep fighting until the UK is genuinely free of the EU.
@BelindadeLucy As opposed to the incumbent blob? 😉
But seriously, it is morally hazardous to reward misconduct and incompetence with continued incumbency.
Out of 350+ MPs the Tories must find a worthy replacement.
Otherwise it’s not just Boris that is toast.
