Boris Johnson gives PM May advice on Brexit while parading loyalty
Theresa May
MANCHESTER  England (Reuters) - British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson offered Theresa May unsolicited public advice about how to make Brexit a success on Tuesday  delicately testing the extent of the prime ministerâs weakened authority while pledging overt loyalty.
After praising May for winning a snap June election which lost  her  party its majority in parliament  Johnson used his main speech to say that  her  top ministers were united behind âevery syllableâ of  her  Brexit plans set out last month in Florence.
âThe whole country owes  her  a debt for  her  steadfastness in taking Britain forward  as  she  will  to a great Brexit deal  based on that Florence speech on whose every syllable  I can tell you  the whole cabinet is united â Johnson said.

Ahead of Johnsonâs speech   May  had repeatedly faced questions from reporters about whether  she  would sack Johnson after he appeared to undermine  her  Brexit strategy by setting out his own vision.  She  has sidestepped those questions.
