Election gift for PM Johnson: Brexit Party stands down in Conservative seatsPrime Minister Boris Johnson won the most significant boost of the British elect... Had to happen - a split Brexit vote was not on the agenda really. Courageous and very dignified gesture from our leader to the Prime Minister, I only hope he respects this move. It’s not a gift.
