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.
