Boris Johnson has "created the greatest constitutional crisis of modern times" and "must live with the shame of what he has done", Former Conservative deputy prime minister Michael Heseltine has said: There will be a profound sense of dismay and frankly contempt. He's ripped the party apart. He's created the greatest constitutional crisis of modern times. He knocked billions off the value of the nation's savings. He's like a general who leads his army to the sound of guns and at the sight of the battlefield abandoned the field. I have never seen so contemptible and irresponsible a situation. He must live with the shame of what he has done."
