LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will “get Brexit done” by Jan. 31 and then agree a new trade deal with the European Union by the end of 2020, cabinet office minister Michael Gove said on Sunday, vowing to deliver on the government’s top priority.
Johnson and his team were triumphant last week when he won a commanding majority of 80 at an early election he said he was forced to call to break the Brexit deadlock. Winning over many traditionally Labour voters in northern and central England, Johnson has proclaimed he will lead a “people’s government”.

“I will make no bones about it. The result was a body blow for everyone who so desperately needs real change in our country... I’m sorry that we came up short and I take my responsibility for it,” he wrote.

But Corbyn added: “I remain proud of the campaign we fought ... And I’m proud that our message was one of hope, rather than fear.” (Reuters)
