Britain's former foreign secretary Boris Johnson Sunday came under fire from different sides of his Conservative party in the wake of a controversial dossier on his personal life and his fresh attack on British Prime Minister Theresa May by comparing her Brexit plans with a "suicide vest".

The Tories were rocked by revelations that May's aides drew up a dossier on the former Cabinet minister's flamboyant sex life in an apparent effort to prevent him from becoming Prime Minister. The document, leaked to the 'The Sunday Times by a Conservative party source, contains a catalogue of explosive allegations about Johnson's sexual liaisons and damning assessments of his character.
