Boris gunning for Prime Minister? BoJo lays down his 10 point plan for Brexit
(https://deficiente-forum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.images.dailystar.co.uk%2Fdynamic%2F1%2Fphotos%2F752000%2F620x%2F59bd2305265e0_borisjohnsonleadershipbid621477.jpg&hash=b7dc6df4aba2744124c3223cd9206655)
BORIS Johnson has fuelled speculation that he wants to take over as Prime Minister by publishing his vision for Brexit.
Less than a week before Theresa May makes her blueprint Brexit speech in Florence, the
Foreign Secretary laid out his own ideas for a “glorious” future outside the bloc.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Mr Johnson said he was breaking his silence about how he thinks Brexit will make Britain the “greatest country on Earth”.
The decision to publicise his own Brexit strategy will fuel speculation about a possible leadership bid.
In his blueprint, Mr Johnson says Britain will spend £350 million-a-week on the NHS, a promise that was widely criticised during the Brexit campaign.
Mr Johnson appeared to distance himself from the promise following the result.
But today he said: “This country will succeed in our new national enterprise, and will succeed mightily.
“Once we have settled our accounts, we will take back control of roughly £350 million per week.
“It would be a fine thing as many of us have pointed out if a lot of that money went on the NHS, provided we use that cash injection to modernise and make the most of new technology.
“One of the advantages of investing in the NHS – if we combine that investment with reform – is that we can turbo charge the role of our health service in driving bioscience.”
Will Tanner, a former adviser to the Prime Minister, tweeted it was “astonishing” that Mr Johnson thought “this self-serving posturing, disloyal at best of times, would reflect well in the hours after a terror attack”.
“The real PM just raised the threat level,” he said.
“Meanwhile guy who wants to replace her issues a prelude to resignation, to save face over £350m. Hmm.”
Mr Johnson's announcement came hours after 29 were injured by a Tube bomb at Parsons Green station.
Labour said the article exposed the divisions in Mrs May’s top team.
A spokesman for Jeremy Corbyn said: “Boris Johnson has laid bare the conflicts at the heart of
Theresa May’s Government over Brexit and cut the ground from beneath the Prime Minister’s authority.
“In the process he has exposed the Tories’ real Brexit agenda – a race-to-the-bottom in regulation and corporate tax cuts to benefit the wealthy few at the expense of the rights of the rest of us.”
Mrs May faced widespread calls to resign after a humiliating election campaign saw her nearly defeated by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Rumours coming from her own party suggested that she could be forced to step down to allow another candidate to negotiate the UK’s Brexit deal.
