Boris Johnson Warns Brexit Plan Is Akin to Titanic Heading Toward Doom

Boris Johnson said the U.K. is on the brink of a “historic mistake,” comparing Theresa May’s Brexit plan to the Titanic heading toward disaster.

To help avoid the return of checkpoints on the Irish border, May’s deal suggests the entire U.K. could remain in a customs union with the EU until a better solution is found. But Northern Ireland will also keep many of the EU’s rules -- and that means added checks on goods arriving from mainland Britain.
