May wrapped British constitution with a suicide vest and handed detonator to Brussels – Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson has attacked Theresa’s May’s Brexit plan, saying she had “wrapped a suicide vest” around the British constitution and “handed the detonator” to Brussels.

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, the former foreign secretary said the Chequers deal had opened the UK to “perpetual political blackmail”.

Mr Johnson quit his post in July after the plan was agreed by the cabinet.

Some Tory MPs have strongly criticised his language in the article.

Writing in the same paper, the current Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt called on the country to “back” the prime minister and her plan.
