The worm will run away to make his fortune once he has **** the Country
I'm pretty sure that was always his intention.
Being PM whilst brexit is implemented is a poisoned chalice anyway, so even if he had been perceived as having done a good job he wouldn't have been around long. The conservatives have a long history of backstabbing their leaders when the opportunity arises.
He'll simply try to pre-empt that backstabbing, won't he.?

I do wonder if there is now a big realisation by many in the Tory Party that Brexit is not actually going to be good for the Country at all.
If there is no agreement with the EU this week, how many months will the economy be able to stand that? Especially in the covid world?

I struggle to see how anyone, (no matter how myopic their opinions or how invested they feel to their "brexit cause" ) can possibly still believe that it will be anything but damaging.
Almost all of those concerns that were raised, and decried as being scaremongering, have already been proven to have been correct. The resultant "pain" is an outcome we have barely even begun to feel yet imho.
The Brexit thing is now getting increasingly desperate.
I'm sure the Chairman of Nissan will be delighted to receive a phonecall from Gove and Johnson today telling him to get ready for high tariffs and big delays on his car parts and finished vehicles moving to and from the EU.
It shows how this government approaches discussions and decisions. Looking tough and taking a stance is more important then listening and taking a sensible position to get the best result for everyone concerned.
They deliberately transferred the task of local lockdown to the Local councils a few months ago so that they could say :
'Its nothing to do with us, blame your local council'
and now its come back to bite them hard once again because they can no longer control it at all.
Absolute bell ends of the highest order.
The consequences of their ineptness, stupidity and greed will still being paid back when our kids retire from work, that's iof there are any jobs left once this lot are booted out of office.
Last week I wrote urging businesses to act now to prepare for our new relationship with the EU. I want to thank the thousands of businesses which took action. However, we know that many are not yet ready for the new rules which start on 1 January and I again request them to act.
In just 71 days there will be guaranteed changes to doing business and there are many actions you can take now to prepare. Find out what you need to do by visiting gov.uk/transition and using the checker tool.
Regardless of whether we reach a trade agreement with the EU, from 1 January there will definitely be changes to:
• the way businesses import and export goods
• the process for hiring people from the EU
• the way businesses provide services in EU markets
This week the government is launching a major public information campaign to help firms prepare and keep business moving. It has one simple message: Time is running out, so you need to act now.
Support is available, including sector-specific webinars to walk you through the changes. If you missed our webinars for the Services and Investment, Retail, Automotive, Materials and Metals, Electronics Machinery and Consumer Goods sectors, they are available to watch on demand now.
As Business Secretary I encourage you to:
1. Check what actions you need to take by visiting gov.uk/transition.
2. Sign up for updates.
3. Attend government webinars for additional support, sign up here.
Unless you take action, there is a risk your business operations will be interrupted. You should also check with your suppliers and customers that they are taking action.
I know these are challenging times, but the transition period is ending on 1 January and there will be no extension. It is vital your business prepares for our new relationship with the EU, outside of the single market and customs union. The Government will be there to support and help you to take advantage of the many new opportunities that being an independent trading nation will bring.
Yours sincerely,
Rt Hon Alok Sharma MP
Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
