British Foreign Secretary (foreign minister) Boris Johnson strongly criticized Prime Minister Theresa May¡¯s latest Brexit proposal in typically colorful terms before agreeing with his colleagues to back the compromise Friday, reports said.

Johnson, a leading supporter of a decisive break by Britain from the European Union, said May¡¯s ¡°business-friendly¡± plan was a ¡°big turd¡± that would need to be ¡°polished¡± in order to be sold to the public, the BBC said.

Johnson made his comments during eight hours of talks at May¡¯s country residence that ended with the Cabinet, including himself, signing up to the plan.
