Boris Johnson told by Fianna Fáil's Lisa Chambers to ditch the 'ego'

Britain's likely next prime minister Boris Johnson has been warned he will not be able to win the Brexit stand-off by "sloganeering" and must put his "ego" to one side if he is to find a solution to the crisis.

Fianna Fáil Brexit spokesperson Lisa Chambers issued the call for common sense on the eve of Mr Johnson's expected announcement as the Conservative party's new leader at 11am tomorrow.
