Boris Johnson is a British politician and writer who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2019 to 2022. Before that he worked as a journalist, edited The Spectator, served two terms as Mayor of London and was Foreign Secretary.
He was a leading figure in the 2016 campaign to leave the European Union, and as prime minister won a landslide election in December 2019 before the UK left the EU in January 2020. His government also led the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and supported Ukraine after the Russian invasion. The Partygate scandal over gatherings held during lockdown, and a further row over an appointment, led to mass resignations from his government and his own resignation in 2022.

It would be a sad day if we British stopped being cynical, but you sometimes wonder whether we overdo it.
The idea that the EU is somehow the guarantor of peace on the continent - that is in itself rash, in my view, and risks undermining the vital role of Nato.
One thing you have got to do politically is to identify the ties that bind society together and try to strengthen them.
If we vote to Leave and take back control, all sorts of opportunities open up. Including doing new free trade deals around the world, restoring Britain's seat on all sorts of international bodies, restoring health to our democracy and belief to our democracy.
