(Picture: PA Wire)In 2019, Boris Johnson secured the biggest Tory majority since the Eighties, winning the hearts and minds of a nation with his positivity and “cheeky chap” charisma. When we look back years from now, history will be kind.
In two-and-a-half years, and during a pandemic, our Prime Minister was delivering what Great Britain wanted. Investment in our NHS; a tougher stance on law and order (with thousands more police officers); legislation to crackdown on illegal immigration; huge investment in housing, schools and infrastructure. And, perhaps most importantly, he ‘got Brexit done’, overcoming toxic political deadlock to ensure the UK would be what its citizens demanded — an independent, sovereign nation.
