Boris Johnson stated that one of his achievements in government was “getting Brexit done” 🔎 How do the claims made by Boris Johnson in his 1,000-word resignation letter stack up? eleanormia explores:
With an eye for media antics and few of the qualities expected of a traditional politician, Boris Johnson seized upon Brexit as an opportunity to be in the spotlight Boris Johnson used his strongly-worded resignation letter to take direct aim at Rishi Sunak’s government, claiming the Conservative Party needs to “recapture its sense of momentum” ahead of the next election.
While Mr Johnson was able to finally secure the UK’s departure from the bloc, some argue that ongoing questions regarding post-Brexit arrangements undermine his claim that the process was “completed”. In the 2019 general election, the Conservative Party secured an 80-seat majority by winning 365 seats, a gain of 48, while the Labour Party came in second with 202 seats, losing 60.
The first Covid-19 vaccination administered outside clinical trials in the world was a Pfizer jab administered in the UK to 90-year-old grandmother Margaret Keenan on 8 December 2020. FACT-CHECK: True, the UK was the first in Europe to hit the milestone of 1 million jabs administered on 1 January 2021, ahead of Germany, Italy and Poland.CLAIM: “When I left office last year the Government was only a handful of points behind in the polls.”
As of 5 June, an aggregate of current polls showed that Labour had a 16-point lead over the Conservatives of 44 per cent to 28 per cent. FACT-CHECK: Mr Johnson has not been an MP “since 2001” as he was not an MP between 2008 and 2015 when took on the role of Mayor of LondonCLAIM: “I have helped to deliver among other things a vast new railway in the Elizabeth Line.”
The line did not officially open until May 2022 – when a limited service began running – two months before Mr Johnson resigned from Number 10.
