London-based journalist Nicol Degli Innocenti reports.


British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called for unity to heal the Brexit divisions that have strained the UK, following a commanding election victory in the biggest Conservative win since Margaret Thatcher's landslide victory of 1987, Mr Johnson trumped his Labor Party opponent Jeremy Corbyn by winning 365 seats with a majority of 80. Labour won just 203 seats in the election.

Mr Johnson, the face of the victorious Leave campaign in the 2016 referendum, fought the election under the slogan of "Get Brexit Done", promising to end the deadlock and spend more on health, education and the police.
