The attack, and Johnson's choice of language, widened the divide in the governing Conservative Party over Brexit. 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." For Boris to say that the PM’s view is like that of a suicide bomber is too much. I’m sorry, but this is the political end of Boris Johnson. Johnson and other supporters of "hard Brexit" want a clean break so that Britain can strike new trade deals around the world.
