LONDON: Prime Minister Boris Johnson officially kicks off his election campaign on Wednesday with a promise to"get Brexit done" in contrast to his main rival, whom he compared to Soviet leader Josef Stalin.
"I don't want an election. No prime minister wants an early election, especially not in December," Johnson wrote in an article for the Daily Telegraph newspaper. On Wednesday, the party was then accused of putting out a doctored video clip of a television interview with a senior Labour politician. Britain had been due to leave in March this year, but has had to extend that deadline three times after parliament rejected a deal negotiated by Theresa May, and then forced Johnson himself to ask for more time.His campaign will paint Labour's veteran socialist leader Jeremy Corbyn as someone who wants to stall the Brexit process by holding another referendum, while also raising taxes and destroying prosperity.
