His article in the Mail on Sunday ramped up speculation that he plans to challenge her leadership. He also said that by agreeing that the UK's Northern Ireland must effectively remain in a customs union with the bloc in order to avoid a hard border with EU member Ireland, we have wrapped a suicide vest around the British constitution and handed the detonator to the EU. Foreign Office Minister Alan Duncan tweeted that the comments marked one of the most disgusting moments in modern British politics and should be the political end of Boris Johnson. Johnson said May's plan, which would keep the UK aligned to EU regulations in return for free trade in goods, was a humiliation and amounted to agreeing to take EU rules, with no say on those rules.
