'I'll make Britain great again', PM Johnson says, echoing Trump
|
LONDON (Reuters) - Boris Johnson promised on Thursday that Brexit would make Britain the greatest place on earth, echoing the patriotic rhetoric of U.S. President Donald Trump in a debut speech as prime minister before parliament.
Johnson, who was hailed by the U.S. president as Britain's Trump
Really ?
has promised to strike a new Brexit divorce deal with the European Union and to energise the world's fifth largest economy after what he casts as the gloom of Theresa May's premiership.
On entering Downing Street on Wednesday, Johnson set the United Kingdom up for a showdown with the EU by vowing to negotiate a new divorce deal and threatening that if the bloc refused then he would leave without a deal on Oct. 31.
Though the promises are sounding too great from here, let's see where this goes. I hope for the sake of the British people I'm wrong.
"Our mission is to deliver Brexit on the 31st of October for the purpose of uniting and re-energising our great United Kingdom and making this country the greatest place on earth," Johnson told parliament in his first speech as prime minister.
He said he was not being hyperbolic
When someone has to mention that along the promises, it's usually not a good sign. Just sayin'...
as the United Kingdom could be most prosperous economy in Europe by 2050, a feat that would mean drawing far ahead of France and then overtaking Germany.
Head to Reuters for the whole thing.
