In an interview with the Telegraph, he said: „Boris will not leave Number 10 unless he‘s dragged out kicking and screaming.
Mr Davis‘s criticisms and Mr Wakeford‘s defection come as Mr Johnson fights to save his premiership after admitting he attended a Downing Street garden party during the first lockdown.
Reflecting on his decision to publically criticise the Prime Minister, Mr Davis said: „I‘ve just made myself the most unpopular person in the Tory party. Well, the second most unpopular.
The former Brexit secretary said: “I expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. Yesterday he did the opposite of that. So I will remind him of a quotation which may be familiar to his ear, Leopold Amery to Neville Chamberlain: ‘You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. In the name of God, go.’”
The Government‘s new Online Safety Bill will be ‚catastrophic‘ for ordinary people‘s freedom of speech, former minister David Davis warned today.
The Conservative MP said forcing social networks to take down content in Britain they deem unacceptable ‚seems out of Orwell‘s 1984‘.
Mr Davis, 72, slammed the idea Silicon Valley firms could take down posts they think are ‚not politically correct – even though it is legal‘.
Mr Hammond was seen loading an array of luggage including cases, bags and holdalls, into the boot of a black saloon outside his residence at Number 11.
It comes just one day after he threatened to back a vote of no confidence in Boris Johnson if he tires to take Britain out of the EU without a deal in October.
Brexit is breaking British politics. Both the traditional powers have been shipwrecked by this storm and show no signs of knowing how to repair their ruined timbers. This is the sort of thing everyone understands. If the Tories enjoy more support than Labour this is only because Labour is so very bad. It is not because Theresa May’s Government commands the confidence of the people. In any case, her party is slowly but surely devouring itself over Brexit. Again, everyone knows this.
Theresa May has made clear she will bring her deal back for MPs to vote on by 12 March.
Mr McDonnell said this will be when Jeremy Corbyn puts the party’s amendment forward for a Final Say referendum on Brexit.
Unfortunately, I must remain anonymous for fear of the backlash I would receive at my place of work. However, I can reveal that I am a senior policy professional within the civil service and work closely with numerous governmental departments.
MPs will vote again on Theresa May‘s Brexit deal on Tuesday.
Former Brexit Secretary David Davis MP told the BBC‘s Andrew Marr that MPs not delivering on the Brexit referendum would undermine belief in political parties.
The former Brexit secretary said any move to extend Article 50 would be a “democratic disaster” that would leave the Conservative Party “massively damaged”.
“It would absolutely undermine belief in democracy in this country and certainly belief in the establishment political parties,” he told BBC’s Andrew Marr Show.
„This is the time for Government and Parliament to hold their nerve.
„There is no case whatsoever for an Article 50 extension.
„Instead, we need to insist on a deal that is mutually beneficial – not punitive – and that can be shown to work for everyone.“
He said: “Europe was determined to make sure we had no advantages. “In fact, Mrs Merkel, if I remember correctly, said that Britain mustn’t benefit from Brexit.”
„Tatsächlich sagte Frau Merkel, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, sinngemäß, dass Großbritannien auf keinen Fall vom Brexit profitieren dürfe.“
Tory MPs don‘t want to get rid of Theresa May yet but they might decide getting rid of her early is better than not getting rid of her at all.
For this to happen, 48 Conservative MPs must submit letters to the Party‘s chairman.
And it could happen sooner rather than later amid reports that 46 have already been submitted.
Brexit supportor David Davis is the most likely successor to Mrs May.
The loss of her Brexit negotiator, and potentially another junior minister in the ministry, just two days after the meeting at May’s Chequers country residence is a blow to the prime minister and underlines the deep divisions in her ruling Conservative Party over Britain’s departure from the EU.
