Where next for Boris Johnson after Brexit?
CGTN
On Christmas Eve, Britain and the European Union signed an agreement regarding the future of their relationship after Britain finally leaves the European single market and customs union at the end of 2020. On December 30, the Parliament will return for one final day to vote on legislation that will pass the agreement into law.
When that is done, Brexit – which has caused political upheaval in Britain over the past four and a half years – may appear to be finally settled. If so, will that be the effective end of Boris Johnson's premiership? After all, he was elected leader of the Conservative Party in summer 2019 on a promise to "get Brexit done."
To signal Johnson's end as prime minister may seem odd given the positive media coverage he is getting, especially in the traditionally sympathetic right-wing press. However, there may be grounds for taking a contrary view.
