Boris Johnson says election is 'powerful new mandate' for Conservatives

Boris Johnson has said the majority the Conservatives are expected to win would allow him to deliver Brexit and focus on domestic priorities including the NHS. Speaking in his constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip, Johnson said the projected result gave him a 'powerful new mandate ... not just to get Brexit done but to unite this country and to take it forward'

What the hell am I looking at? Is Tickle Me, Elmo, part of the British political system?

[budgieball]

I don't really know much about British politics but what position did Elmo and GMO Vader get elected to?

[huntermulhall]

This is a very very dark day for our country. Bleak.

50, 000 more nurses and more hospitals, wounder where they will afford that from, possibly from selling the NHS to american then charging people making more cash and putting a country into more debt.

Congratulations, Mr. Johnson, on this convincing election victory. Now the British people are back. And I sincerely apologize for the embarrassing and daily behavior of Germany's political and media leadership clique since 2015 at the latest, with a large part of the German people, to you and all clever British people. Please note that the political alternative for a truly democratic self-determination and self-preservation of the peoples in a peacefully cooperating Europe grows in this country too and will be passed on to the side of the great British nation again.

Boris looked like he crushed a straw hat because he thought wigs were too expensive

[mrweasel]

Embarrasing. Johnson basically failed his way to the top. He has a pretty shoddy record in everything he has done, and yet his fairy tale has continued.

Well I’m out. This was the best and probably last chance to completely change the country. But the people have spoken, so congrats I guess..
5 more grim years of the tories. Looking forward to the breakup of the uk, the destruction of the nhs and the economic Pandora’s box of brexit.
Happy days 😂
