He's just announced he is not running. I suppose at least one good thing has come out of the EU debacle! Couldn't face a Trump/Boris future!
Boris not running for PM

Not sure May is a much better candidate to be honest!
As my friend quite rightly pointed out; 60million+ people in the UK and hundreds of millions on the USA and we can't come up with a better short list of candidates??

I'd never vote Tory....but I'm genuinely miffed that he wont stand. Finally an MP with extreme intellect and some character about them and he's ducking for cover at a time when I'd have thought would be perfect to ride this recent wave.

He's a character but he had no moral character at all. The epitome of self interest.

Are you for real? He is a parody of himself and would have made this country even more of a laughing stock than it is already.

I think that applies to ALL politicians.

No. He is the worst of the worst, the most blatant.

He quite clearly sees the issues that will happen in regards Article 50 and has bottled it - for me it's another clear sign that he didn't think leave would win and didn't have a clue on what to do next.
Right now our nation is an embarrassment to the world - what a joke we have become.

Really?
I see the flip side of the coin and a nation in transition after being brave enough to vote out of system the majority didn't agree with.
Boris wasn't the only Tory minister to back the Brexit. I'm guessing the fact others didn't wish to be considered makes them cowards also?

I would be very surprised if Boris, or any Politian didn't know the full facts of just how hard it will be to separate ourselves from the EU - all the negotiations, all the new trade deals, stabilising the economy, uniting the nation etc etc. I just think Boris has realised the enormity of the situation which could be landing in his lap, and the fact that actually he may not be as popular as he first thought ie he wouldn't have the backing of those who could help him deliver the Brexit promise.
As for T May, out of the candidates she is the best choice. She is tough, experienced, knowledgeable and can command at least some form of respect with her equals and peers.

Quite the opposite, depending on which news stories you wish to read.
I know the remainers have only been too happy to share pictures/articles/memes etc of the doom and gloom stories and how bad things are going to be. But there are also news stories coming from the US congratulating us on taking such a brave and bold step on our independence and our future.
But lets not let our own flavour of propaganda taint the view that the individual wishes to paint. No point in letting facts ruin a good story.

The praise I've seen has come from the likes of Donald trump and marine le pen. More respectable figures seem to be either criticising or maintaining a tactful silence.
I think Phil has it right.

What facts ?
I just posted a personal opinion on how I see us as a nation right now
We have a split right through the middle of the nation in regards how we move forward , we have a growing number of disturbing racist incidents abusing everyone from Polish people to Muslims. We have political parties fighting between themselves when they should be looking at how to improve us as a nation.
Right in the headlines with have Farage with his clear racist views going to the European Parliament insulting them all and embarrassing us as a nation , we have another headline figure in Johnson who is clearly seen around the world as the British Trump ( minus the wig ), let's not forget we now have other nations within the UK who are publically looking to distance themselves from England
Our government hasn't even got a credible opposition to fight against
But don't worry the US ( who exactly in the US ? ) have said well done for being brave ? Well I guess they are looking forward to dealing with us with our pants down no doubt
So yes I think we are an embarrassment and a joke right now
So what facts are there to back up this brave and bold move ?

So I presume none of this stuff was happening before the brexit vote, or is it all happening since last Friday?
Same as we've not had a recession since we've been in the EU or a housing crisis or racial troubles or banks in trouble . Its all new .

So Boris Johnson has supported a campaign that has wrecked and split the Nation, and destabilised Europe and the whole Western World, and now he just walks away! What a bozo!

A great deal amount of it has heightened - the situation has got a great deal worse
How many times had the Polish club been covered in graffiti telling them to go home before Thursday
Why are you attributing a housing crisis or recession or banks to being in the EU ?
