    I interpreted it as Gove's wife instructing him to make sure he used his leverage to get a decent position in the cabinet.

    Guido's take is that Gove's SpAds are approaching other MPs for their support, especially Leave MPs who want assurances on Boris's position. Dacre/Murdoch are Rupert Murdoch and Paul Dacre Editor of D Mail

    Which is being interpreted as:
    Michael Gove want's nothing less than full Brexit with no free movement. Boris appears to be dithering.

    Gove needs to remember that we voted to leave the EU.

    It was NOT a vote to leave and go it totally alone. That was not the wording on the ballot paper.

    There are many different possibilities as to how our future will look. One that is the antithesis of what was wanted by the 16m plus in the remain camp is the least likely to succeed.

    Just stumbled upon this on the discussion time board:

    Its quite funny, I suspect that even those that voted leave will find it amusing.

    Still can't figure out why her indoors made such a silly keyboard error.
    And now in the other blue corner we have Mick throwing his hat in the ring.
    As to the OP, I haven't a clue what is going to happen if we vote Brexit... _

    That's an important point. Only one question was asked and answered - there's no going back IMO and we should now leave the EU.

    What happens apart from that isn't up to leave voters; we all get a say. My preference is an exit from the EU but a deal that most closely resembles what we had but obviously short of membership itself. I also think that's the most pragmatic solution - it secures EU trade but allows us space to determine whether there really are riches out there we've not tapped due to the 'shackles' of the EU.

    We'll look like muppets if we damage EU trade and then find the claims of deals in abundance were BS. I'm now sick of hearing how a crap deal for the UK would be just as bad for the EU - it's as if people having a hard time are consoled by hearing about other people having a hard time.

    Why not allow free movement and limit the benefit claiming even more? Surely that should appease the masses?


    I don't buy the old adage of foreigners taking all our British jobs rubbish. I doubt the British people on benefits would actually take some of the jobs on hand.


    It is the non Brits making a good living in the UK and rightly so. Hard working and taking up jobs no one else would.


    Or why not walk into any Hospital and see how many Non brit medical staff are working there? Or wait their non Eu Silly me.

    Clearly Boris dithered for too long.
    If we are to make the most of the opportunities ahead we need a bold break with the past.
    I have repeatedly said that I do not want to be Prime Minister. That has always been my view. But events since last Thursday have weighed heavily with me.
    I respect and admire all the candidates running for the leadership. In particular, I wanted to help build a team behind Boris Johnson so that a politician who argued for leaving the European Union could lead us to a better future.
    But I have come, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead.
    I have, therefore, decided to put my name forward for the leadership. I want there to be an open and positive debate about the path the country will now take. Whatever the verdict of that debate I will respect it. In the next few days I will lay out my plan for the United Kingdom which I hope can provide unity and change.
