Saying that the customs partnership plans would not only lead to more bureaucracy, Boris Johnson called them 'crazy' as they would stop the UK taking back proper control as well as restricting our ability to make new trade deals.

His intervention, says the Daily Mail, comes as Brexiteers worry that the proposals, which were narrowly rejected by the Cabinet Brexit Sub-Committee last week, may now be given a make-over and title change and re-presented by No 10 for approval after 'picking off' the two Remainers on the committee who voted against it last week - The Home Secretary Sajid Javid and the Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson.

"It’s totally untried and would make it very, very difficult to do free trade deals.’ Said Boris.
 
"If you have the new customs partnership, you have a crazy system whereby you end up collecting the tariffs on behalf of the EU at the UK frontier.

"If the EU decides to impose punitive tariffs on something the UK wants to bring in cheaply there’s nothing you can do.

"That’s not taking back control of your trade policy, it’s not taking back control of your laws, it’s not taking back control of your borders and it’s actually not taking back control of your money either, because tariffs would get paid centrally back to Brussels."

The Sun says that according to his mates, Boris is fed up with Theresa May's dithering over Brexit and also believes that he is now the only champion of Leave left and that there are fears over his future in cabinet.

The Sun reports that one of them said:

"Boris is completely fed up. He thinks he is the only one pushing Brexit now.

"I don’t think it’s a resignation thing at the moment."

And Jacob Rees-Mogg says that the Foreign Secretary would be more aggressive that Theresa May over the Brexit negotiations. But that plays into the PM's hands, he says, as the EU are more likely to give her a better deal than risk having to face Boris over the negotiating table.

I have to ask, are we lining up for a resignation followed quickly by a leadership challenge? I wonder how many letters of no-confidence in their leader the Tory 1922 Committee chairman has in his safe, right now?

Manuel Alison, has no intentions of returning home to Italy because of Brexit, he's staying where the action is - in London.

Despite Brexit, English will not be replaced ivy French as the language of the EU.
