Brexit Secretary David Davis resigns

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44761056

It is a shame it has come to this, but May's vision of Brexit is not what the majority voted for and not in line with the Tory election manifesto. It may be time for her to go.

She may not be the only one whose time is up:

If you love Greece, help us get rid of Alexis Tsipras and his zombie party
The Greek prime minister and Syriza have betrayed their people and their principles. They have to go

Article by Zoe Konstantopoulou, leader of the Course of Freedom party.

Question is, can anyone else do any better... for sure, some could do worse.

Utterly damning criticism of Tsipras who was elected originally on restoring hope and dignity to Greece after the predations of the troika and the near treasonable destabilisation of the economy by the previous Samaras govrrnment. He's only still there because of a credible altrrnative. I still have the text of his post election speech. How are the mighty fallen.
