Boris Johnson has set out his own plan for Brexit, arguing that the UK should "chuck Chequers" and negotiate a "Super Canada" free trade deal instead.

The ex-foreign secretary, who quit over Theresa May's Chequers Brexit plan, called her strategy "a moral and intellectual humiliation".

He said his vision would not lead to a hard Irish border, with any checks carried out away from the crossing.

The PM says her plan is the only one which will avoid carving up the UK.

And ex-attorney general Dominic Grieve, who backs a new referendum on Brexit, told the Evening Standard up to 40 Tory MPs were prepared to vote against any Canada-style deal if Mrs May ultimately opted for it.

I agree with Boris here but I also recognise that the PM will be blamed whichever way she goes so let the in-fighting carry on unabated.

Taunts being made against Theresa May and "routine attacks" on her leadership by some Tory MPs are "completely unacceptable", Sir John Major has said.

I turned down a personal invite to attend that event and having read the news article in my local paper I can honestly say I regret that now.

Theresa May has accused MPs who refuse to back her blueprint for post-Brexit trade with the EU of "playing politics" with the UK's future.

Look you stupid woman the EU as rejected it, parts of your party have rejected it, Labour and the LibDems said they will vote it down! Wake up woman and smell the coffee!

Would younger voters back Tories for £10,000?

Oh come on! Take a bribe and vote for us and forget about democracy. What next, a bag of funny white powder and a free visit to a brothel.

Just hearing on the radio the Daily Mail will hammer Boris Johnson in Wednesday edition!

Yes the Daily Mail right wing Brexit paper!

I think they may have a good point, the Boris speech will cause a bigger division in the Tory party as he sets himself up as the next Tory leader. The damage he has done will let old Jezzer into power winning the next general election!

The Jezzer bit I don't know but the point has credit.

When I look westward these days, I just freeze and stare, open-mouthed, for I don't know how long.
