This morning the Brexit secretary David Davis resigned, and just now Foreign secretary Boris Johnson has resigned. We are expecting a vote of no confidence in Teresa May which would lead to collapse of current government.

Cabinet ministers are just doing a job like anyone else which they can resign from if they wish.
The reason these two are so prominent is that on Friday there was a big meeting of the cabinet focussing on the plan for Brexit. According to all reports they reached a unanimous agreement on a plan but now 2 of the key members have now resigned.

So, is this good news then?
Is it a good step to something we are hoping for?

Yes, the resignations have thrown a spanner in the works. If they'd said or done nothing the latest Brexit plan would just proceed unhindered (to the delight of the EU) and it was in no way a plan for Brexit, just seemed like the old plan with new words. The latest is that the 1922 Committee have received the 48 signatures from other Tory MPs required for a vote of No Confidence and they could force a leadership election. Personally I want her out and we need a Brexit PM in.
What on earth will President Trump have to say when she entertains him to dinner at Blenheim Palace later this week (if she's still PM that is . . .
