New Conservative Party leader and incoming prime minister Boris Johnson gives a speech at an event to announce the winner of the Conservative Party leadership contest in central London on July 23, 2019.
It is a triumph for a man who has always wanted the top job, but Johnson, known for his jokes and bluster, is taking over at a time of immense political upheaval.Three years after the referendum vote to leave the European Union, Britain remains a member, after twice delaying its exit amid continued wrangling in a divided parliament — and the country — on how to proceed.
Barring that, he will be confirmed by Queen Elizabeth on Wednesday before moving straight into Downing Street. Duncan revealed he had sought to force a vote on Johnson’s leadership on Tuesday — before he enters Downing Street — but was blocked by Commons Speaker Johnson Bercow. MPs are expected to go on their summer holidays on Friday, giving Johnson some breathing room over the summer to try to get a new Brexit deal.
What a good news
Hope the world can survive two Donalds a time 😱
I pray he wins, we need another version of Trump in Britain.
Clueless clown, that is the downside of parliamentary system. It can force a wrong choice on people.
