Theresa May warns Boris Johnson British Government 'driven from the front'

Theresa May has moved to reassert control over her Cabinet after Boris Johnson's publication of a personal vision for Brexit, with the Prime Minister declaring: "This Government is driven from the front."

Her remark will be seen as a slapdown for the Foreign Secretary, who was accused by Home Secretary Amber Rudd of trying to act as a "backseat driver" by releasing his 4,000-word essay days before the PM delivers a crucial speech on Brexit in Italy.
