LONDON — UK Prime Minister Theresa May has announced she will resign as Conservative Party leader on June 7, following a furious backlash to her last-ditch Brexit plan....

...Boris Johnson, the Brexiteer former foreign secretary, is currently seen as the frontrunner to replace her.

2. The UK has lost its mind, just like the USA. How did this rash

of nonsense happen?

4. England's own trump.

5. Get ready for a hard no-deal Brexit.

This assclown will not be able to make a deal which both passes Parliament and is accepted by the EU. Nor will the EU allow him to continue to string things along with further delays -- because they won't believe such a delay is actually leading anywhere useful.

11. Did he ever give up his US citizenship?

[dalton99a]

12. He did - because he didn't want to pay a tax bill

“The United States comes after me, would you believe it ... for capital gains tax on the sale of your first residence which is not taxable in Britain, but they’re trying to hit me with some bill, can you believe it?”

Pressed to say if he would pay the tax he said: “Why should I? I haven’t lived in the United States for, you know, well, since I was five years old”.
