>"This afternoon, the Prime Minister accepted the resignation of Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary," a spokesperson for May said. "His replacement will be announced shortly. The Prime Minister thanks Boris for his work,"
>Johnson reportedly told his Cabinet colleagues at their meeting at Chequers last week that the Brexit policy put forward by Theresa May was akin to "polishing a turd."
>He has previously privately told friends that a soft Brexit would "rather stay in the EU" than accept a soft Brexit
>His departure follows that of the Brexit Secretary David Davis, who resigned on Sunday night and has thrown the prime minister into the biggest crisis of her premiership.

Hard to say, some talk about May will step down and likely call for new elections. But for Brexit the date when Britain formally leaves is already set.
>At 11pm local time on March 29 2019, the UK is scheduled to leave the bloc
>The EU had high hopes of resolving one of the most difficult issues in negotiations before the June summit: the “backstop” arrangement to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland if other approaches do not work.
>But the talks have made limited progress, with the two sides deadlocked over how integrated Northern Ireland would remain with the EU and what trade barriers would emerge along the Irish Sea. Negotiators made more headway in other parts of the withdrawal treaty. Still, the EU sees the negotiating delays as increasing the risks of a no-deal Brexit.

I assume if Britain and the EU don't come to an agreement before that date WTO will be the "governing body" for trade. The EU will likely set up trade barriers where they will try to limit the trade Britain can do with EU countries to punish Britain.

Nigel Farage was just on Fox News.
Farage thinks Theresa May will be out in a fourth-night. He thinks/hopes someone who actually wants to work towards leaving the EU will be replacing her. Basically someone who works towards independence and not to become a Vassal state as May is working towards.
Farage also promised to get back into politics if May and the other politicians defy the will of the people and chooses to remain in the EU or to become a Vassal state.

> If the great Brexit betrayal isn't reversed, I'll have no choice but to return as Ukip leader by Nigel Farage
>n July 2017, I wrote in the Telegraph that the great Brexit betrayal had begun. This observation, made after new transitional arrangements had been unveiled which showed Britain would effectively be tied to the EU until 2021, was met with the usual derision that I’ve come to expect. Some people even suggested that in making this remark I was trying to reignite my political career. As ever, it seems the great and the good did not understand my motives.
Throughout her years in the Cabinet and in Downing Street, I have always distrusted Theresa May.

I fear they want to go the route Norway did. People here have said no to the EU twice (first time it was called the EEC). But the first time we said no the Labout party really didn't like it. So some years prior to the 2nd referendum they had worked out and signed an membership agreement for Norway to join EFTA. An EFTA membership forces all member states to agree to all EU laws without having the option to vote or have input on the text of the laws (we can say no to one law per year, but it never happens). So we are basically EU members without the right to have a say or vote in the EU parliament.

Yep I think the goal is to make EEC so unbearable that people would prefer the EU over the shit we have now. Luckily we're a firm "No to EU" country.
