British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday promised to carve the United Kingdom out of the European Union after leading his Conservative Party to a massive general election victory that he said had"smashed the roadblock" in Parliament over Brexit.
At a rally in central London, Mr Johnson declared that he would take the UK out of the EU by Jan 31,"no ifs, no buts" because Brexit was now the"irrefutable, unarguable" decision of the British people."You may intend to return to Labour next time round, and if that is the case, I am humbled that you have put your trust in me, and I will never take your support for granted," he said.
The EU Council President Charles Michel said the bloc was ready to embark on trade talks with Britain.
