Boris Johnson has just announced he won’t seek the leadership of the Tory party.
At the end of a speech he gave about an hour ago, he closed with this:
That is the agenda for the next prime minister of this country.
Well, I must tell you, my friends, you who have waited faithfully for the punchline of this speech, that having consulted colleagues and in view of the circumstances in parliament, I have concluded that person cannot be me.
My role will be to give every possible support to the next Conservative administration to make sure that we properly fulfill the mandate of the people that was delivered at the referendum and to champion the agenda that I believe in, to stick up for the forgotten people of this country.
And, if we do so, if we invest in our children and improve their life chances, if we continue to fuel the engines of social mobility, if we build on the great reforming legacy of David Cameron, if we invest in our infrastructure and we follow a sensible, one nation Conservative approach that is simultaneously tax-cutting and pro-enterprise, then I believe that this country can win and be better and more wonderful and, yes, greater than ever before.
This is definitely a “shock announcement,” as everyone assumed he’d be the next Prime Minister. He was sort of the default choice, given that he’s the only high-ranking figure who stood in favor of the Brexit, and having a pro-Europe leader of the UK following the Brexit is insane.
Of course, pro-Europe politicians can switch sides and say they were wrong and they now support British independence, but they have to wait a little while to do that.
