Boris Johnson outlines leadership credentials

Considered by many to be the prime candidate to become Prime Minister, Boris Johnson outlined his post-Brexit plans and leadership credentials in a column in the Telegraph today.

He called the EU referendum “the most extraordinary political event of our lifetime.”

He also quashed rumours that the UK is about to become less united with potential Scottish and Irish referendums being mooted.

“We had one Scotland referendum in 2014, and I do not detect any real appetite to have another one soon; and it goes without saying that we are much better together in forging a new and better relationship with the EU – based on free trade and partnership, rather than a federal system,” he wrote.
