Britain’s Johnson sets his sights on quick Brexit via SABCNewsOnline
Just a week after he won the largest Conservative majority since Margaret Thatcher’s 1987 victory, the Queen’s Speech offers details of Johnson’s plans for Britain after more than three years of Brexit turmoil.
He also said he would not allow any more “dither and delay”, ruling out any extension beyond 2020 to the transition period to negotiate a free trade deal with the EU, and suggesting he would hold trade talks with other countries at the same time. He plans to begin on Friday the process in parliament of passing the legislation needed to ratify Britain’s EU exit.
He also promised better education, better infrastructure and better technology, and pledged a review of Britain’s security, defence and foreign policy in the “most radical reassessment of our place in the world since the end of the Cold War”.
