Britain's Boris Johnson says 'not too late to save Brexit'

Former UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson implored fellow lawmakers today not to abandon Brexit, urging them to remember the initial enthusiasm surrounding a complete break from the European Union.

In remarks to the House of Commons, Johnson criticized Prime Minister Theresa May's plans for exiting the EU, describing it as a clean departure "in name only." Britons should be "great independent actors" on the world stage, not "rule takers," he said.

"It is not too late to save Brexit," Johnson said. "We have time in these negotiations. We have changed tack once and we can change again."
Though Johnson did not call for May's ouster, his remarks before the pre-recess session, will at the very least remind hardliners of the initial vision behind the referendum. Johnson suggested it was a vision May herself had shared before the "fog of self-doubt had descended."
