[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 6774679, member: 8735"] Like them or not, neither Boris nor DC are thick; I think it must have been pretty obvious that SJ would resign given such an ultimatum, so the presumption must be that they wanted him gone and acted accordingly. That begs the question of why... In answer to that, I think it was one of or a combination of two reasons: firstly that they didn't think he could be relied upon to turn on the fiscal taps as required - probably true; and / or secondly, that they didn't think he could be relied upon to back them to the hilt if a no-deal scenario is realistic at the end of this year - probably untrue, but I guess they thought it better to bin him now than face what could be a very damaging 'resignation' then. What's your view on it? [/QUOTE]
