Here’s what Boris Johnson had to say about Brexit and the government’s negotiations to date.

“We have opened ourselves to perpetual political blackmail. We have wrapped a suicide vest around the British constitution – and handed the detonator to Michel Barnier.”

And here’s what everyone else had to say.

For Boris to say that the PM’s view is like that of a suicide bomber is too much. This marks one of the most disgusting moments in modern British politics. I’m sorry, but this is the political end of Boris Johnson. If it isn’t now, I will make sure it is later. #neverfittogovern https://t.co/rdI0FWQhbi

Boris Johnson's "suicide vest" comments reek of desperation, ego, and ugly ambition. I've said it before and I'll say it again. This pound-shop Donald Trump has no principles, and he would throw any ally under the bus to further the leadership ambitions he's harboured since Eton.

I’ve just read Boris Johnson’s article in the Mail in Sunday. He must be furious that the subeditor removed all those detailed well-argued paragraphs where he set out an actual proposal for the post-Brexit settlement.

So Boris says the Chequers deal has put the U.K. in a ‘suicide vest’ and given the detonator to Brussels. So it’s not a suicide vest then is it? Isn’t that a homicide vest? Or has he unwittingly pointed out that Brussels are stopping us hurting ourselves? Idiot.

If Boris Johnson wants to learn about what a suicide bombing actually entails, there’s a whole city not far away for whom the reality is a recent memory. Although I daresay there wouldn’t be a huge welcome party

TOMORROW: In which we give Boris Johnson free reign to publish whatever attention-seeking drivel he wishes, in exchange for having his adultery described as a ‘marriage riddle.’ You’re welcome. #MailFrontPages pic.twitter.com/Dvs89I7OVH
