UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson looks to 'get Brexit done' on January 31 with announcement of new legislative program
Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson and opposition Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn attend the State Opening of Parliament in the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster in London, Britain on December 19, 2019.
Johnson showed he intended to try to satisfy the demands of voters in northern and central England who broke their tradition of backing the opposition Labour Party to support him.Among pledges to boost funding for the state health service, increase sentences for violent crime and enhance workers' rights, Johnson made his campaign slogan to "get Brexit done" his number one priority, confirming he would lead Britain out of the European Union on January 31.
"We will release the country from the stranglehold of indecision, restoring confidence to people and businesses. We will avoid the trap of further dither and delay - by ruling out any extension to the implementation period beyond 2020." He also promised better education, better infrastructure and better technology, and pledged a review of Britain's security, defence and foreign policy in the "most radical reassessment of our place in the world since the end of the Cold War".
And he even suggested he could win another term at an election due in 2024: "Just imagine where this country could be in 10 years' time."
