BORIS Johnson has promised to deliver a top-quality NHS, thousands more police and take back control of our country as he launches his election campaign today.
After meeting the the Queen at Buckingham Palace this morning, the PM delivered his rallying cry to the nation, promising to get Brexit done and focus on what was really important to the country.
Boris was at Buckingham Palace meeting the Queen this morning
As part of the formalities of shutting down Parliament ready for the election, Boris met with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
He will make a statement outside Downing Street later today ahead of a rally in the West Midlands tonight.
Mr Johnson will try to frame the poll as a chance to change the dismal pattern of the last three years and get out of our rut.
The PM is expected to say: “Lets go with this conservative government, get Brexit done, and unleash the potential of our great country- delivering on the publics priorities of our NHS, crime and the cost of living.”
“Meanwhile the alternative is clear – Jeremy Corbyn and his two favourite advisers, Dither and Delay, turning 2020 into the year of two miserable referendums, one on the EU, and another on Scotland.
“And remember that a vote for any other minor party is effectively a vote for Corbyn, and his catastrophic political and economic programme.”
He will urge voters to “change this blockading Parliament” and boot out MPs trying to stop Brexit.
The leftie boss has promised to sort Brexit out in six months – with a second referendum.
The PM will also compare Mr Corbyn to Stalin for “hating” business and will vow to “cheer not sneer” at them.
Vowing to back businesses in the Daily Telegraph, he said: We cheer for them because their success is our success.
The PM also accused Labour of hating British businesses and the country’s wealthiest.
He said: “The tragedy of the modern Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn is that they detest the profit motive so viscerally and would raise taxes so wantonly that they would destroy the very basis of this countrys prosperity.
“They pretend that their hatred is directed only at certain billionaires and they point their fingers at individuals with a relish and a vindictiveness not seen since Stalin persecuted the kulaks.
