If I could have picked a Tory leader to take us through this process in 2016 after Cameron resigned, it would have been Davis.

He understands the personalities, having worked with Barnier in the past and he understands the EU.

The way out of this, in my opinion, to achieve an outcome that I believe in, is to replace May with a Leave supporting Tory MP.

Then to go to the electorate with the Tory vision in a manifesto and the Labour vision in a manifesto and even the LibDems.

Johnson has his faults, but he is also the most popular of the potential Tory leaders.

Perhaps those who would consider him a potential leader are just fed up of people running the country down. Johnson is optimistic, and positive.

Will he have the capacity to lead and deliver? Who knows? But if the UK hating Corby and his mates ever gain power, we might as well put the lights out as we leave.
David Davis is, from what I know about him at least, a decent bloke, and while I don't agree with his brand of politics, I'd 'trust' him (as far as anyone would trust a politician) more than I would many MPs (from a range of political persuasions) to act thoughtfully and with integrity. His civil liberties stance says a lot, as well as his courage to put his career potentially on the line in order to 'do the right thing' for the country, as he believed anyway. There's no comparison between Davis and that skunk Johnson.

Sadly, I don't think Davis is in with a real chance to replace the Maybot. I'd have serious concerns for the up-hill task of trying to heal the destructive divide we have in our country if Johnson somehow orchestrates to become PM - there will be an almighty sh*tstorm. More broadly, Johnson is 'marmite' and while many Tory voters might rate him (although I also know several who really don't) he'd be a liability for the Consvertives at the next General Election. Umm....although who'd have believed Trump would have been elected! Now where's my OMM sh*tstorm jacket
