BREAKING: Boris Johnson guaranteed to be in the run off for the leadership and is almost certain to be the next prime minister

And thus very possibly the last of the UK as currently constituted. https://t.co/VWRMYlSJWW

Imagine what international observers make of this. Conservatives are about to elect as their leader a man who completely messed up his only major national job – as foreign secretary – and has done nothing since save talk rot https://t.co/8GgfBUGH8H

As an aside, this shows a massive insecurity from the front runner. He’s basically trying to steamroller himself as the only choice to avoid the hustings, isn’t he? https://t.co/OWpvnSm3bC

Johnson vs Corbyn is an unmitigated disaster for the United Kingdom. There is no good outcome possible from that.

For good or ill, Rory Stewart would absolutely annihilate Jeremy Corbyn in a general election.

— James O'Brien (@mrjamesob) June 11, 2019

Boris Johnson’s fictional Brexit plan really aims to precipitate a crisis that he’ll blame on the EU so he can call a general election to take Britain over the cliff edge

As @BorisJohnson bigs up No Deal Brexit, never forget what the £1.9 billion *already* spent could buy:

🔹380k hip replacements
🔹41k nurses
🔹41k paramedics
🔹35k doctors
🔹200 CT scanners
🔹1000 MRI scanners
🔹6 entire NHS hospitals

What a grotesque waste of taxpayers' money.

If the no dealers think they have a majority just because they won this afternoon, they've got another thing coming. My take on what the vote did and didn't mean. https://t.co/qwB2e4LDAp

Grieve: Wednesday’s debate might have been the last chance for MPs to block leaving without a deal – “I think that’s it… I can’t think of when another opportunity might come up.”

Gutted that we’ve lost chance to stand up for parliamentary sovereignty by 11 votes.

So now we’re closer to Boris as PM, parliament sidelined, & possibility of No Deal.

Unbelievable that majority of colleagues voted for this https://t.co/peDumpeWrQ

A boost for the pro no-deal camp. But one suspects this vote was just too far in advance of October, and the taking control of a Parliamentary day too assertive for some at this time. Merely a skirmish, MPs expect they will have other opportunities and are probably right https://t.co/Y9iRp884br

This is complicated but it really matters. Tory leader elected 27 July. Recess until 10 Sept. Recess, again, from 13 Sept. Labour must table a No Confidence Vote on 10 Sept if 14 days are to expire from 11th Sept & trigger prorogue for a 30 Oct election to stop a No Deal Brexit pic.twitter.com/jHN0E9UnZw

Here’s what’s happening, then. Pretty much everyone has decided that Boris Johnson is going to win, and the numbers so far certainly support that conclusion. However, this is leading to some pretty shabby and/or intellectually lazy stuff. 1/

Just to be clear, the same man who has been screaming “FAKE NEWS!” every time someone accused him of colluding with a hostile foreign power just said, “Yeah of course I would collude with a hostile foreign power.” https://t.co/YQ88LAfZwA

If any USG employee with a clearance declared "Why yes, I'd talk to a foreign agent and not talk to the FBI," not only would that person be in violation of security requirements, but the people around that person would be required to report him or her as a security threat.
