Boris Johnson quits: Profile of ex-foreign secretary - BBC News

Boris Johnson's resignation as foreign secretary over Theresa May's Brexit policy will delight some Conservatives and dismay others - but does not come as too great a shock.

The former London mayor and prominent Leave campaigner has been at odds with Mrs May's vision for Brexit for some time and has not been shy of saying so in public, leading many to wonder why he has not been sacked before now.

In May, he called Mrs May's proposals for a post-Brexit customs partnership "crazy".

Lol nice to see the government collapsing

[Slashaboyz]

Only thing Tories have to say about him is "he is a character". You want him as PM because he is a character? The irony of those who decry the left as identity politicians are the same people who can't help but engage in it...

"out of the EU, with no loss of benefits"...a tad bit unrealistic, Boris

[vishnuprasadp]

The guy campaigned for brexit..and when it came with consequences he is now abandoning ship...coward.

[ThomasWilliams]

Boris should have been PM, not traitor May.

[chrisvalentine]

At least Boris Johnson had the guts to quit. Unlike Mrs May.
Come on Boris its time to shine

The only talk that should be had is why this criminal isn't in prison

In the history of national humiliation, can anyone else think of a western nation so committed to to this end as the UK?

[lumpyfishgravy]

Put your toy trumpets away BBC, this is far from finished.

No Mr. Johnson you are not eligible to claim Jobseeker’s Allowance.

This man wants power but at what cost I don't think he cares just as long as its him

[Pinecone]

Someone has to make all of this into a green screen for memes

[reaperzyt]

He left because he is actually smart and leaving the eu is just stupid

[andertonchigoneka]

May is a tragic leader a weak leader and many have gone under her

[Madhu-wezq]

For a second i thought it's trump

[uzijn]

We need someone in power who will give us the true Brexit the country voted for.

[gooseboy]

i would rather have bojo as PM backed by mogg than may. and certainly need it because corbyn can never be allowed to drive the bus.

[kaluri]

Would rather him for prime minister over Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn or whatever irrelevant candidate the Lib dems have in place anyday.

Experience sexually definitely psychology reason Italian basement easily publicly Italian slam.
