(CNN)As Britain's Parliament returns tomorrow from its summer recess, right on cue comes another attempt to blow up Prime Minister Theresa May.

This time it's her former Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson. In his weekly column in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, he describes the government's Brexit negotiating position with the European Union as "white flag fluttering."

Piling on the outrage he splutters: "The UK has agreed to hand over £40 billion of taxpayers' money for two thirds of diddly squat."

The article has generated exactly the coverage Johnson wants. The focus is back on him and speculation about a leadership bid.

1. Brexit is tearing the Tories apart.

Unfortunately, it's also doing enormous damage to the country, and isn't very good for Ireland either. Honestly, Johnson is just playing Corbyn's game of criticizing and waiting to swoop in and take power after the wheels have come off. It's quite disgusting.
