Theresa May resigned in tears because the UK's "Brexit" issue was trapped in a political island, Johnson was forced to step down because of the same-sex scandal of his subordinates, since Cameron in 2016, after the dissatisfaction with his term of office, British Prime Minister The handover baton has achieved the third "change of ownership", and it has been handed over to Truss, who has only 12 years of political experience.
As we all know, the British people have great dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party government because of the energy crisis and the weak economic recovery. It is still unknown how long Truss will be able to do it. And Johnson, who is about to step down on the 6th, made people say: "If something happens in the future, if there is a chance when the parties compete, anything can happen. I will not predict; I just want to say that I will never He will not be ruled out."
Johnson's former assistant Edward Lister said on September 5, local time, that people should not think that Johnson is out of the game, suggesting that although Johnson is forced to step down, he may one day return to the top.
Johnson, 58, who has been prime minister since July 2019, has said he will remain a member of parliament after stepping down, meaning he is not far from the British circle of power. Despite Johnson's pledge to stay loyal to his successor, many will be watching whether he will cause trouble for the new prime minister.
Giving parting Johnson is not flowers but criticism
Outgoing British Prime Minister Johnson delivered a farewell speech in front of 10 Downing Street on the 6th local time. However, what greeted the outgoing prime minister was not flowers, but criticism from many people.
Labour's shadow foreign secretary, David Lamy, called Johnson "the worst prime minister of modern times" on Twitter. And accused him of citing "imagined achievements" in his final speech.
Labour MP Luke Pollard said there was "no apology" in his speech, "just more rants". Pollard also said: " Boris Johnson is a liar. I'm glad he ended his term as Prime Minister today".
Johnson reportedly said in his speech that in a few hours he would meet Queen Elizabeth II at Scotland Balmoral, "The torch will finally pass to the new leader of the Conservative Party" . Subsequently, the British Prime Minister's official Twitter account also posted a video of Johnson with the text "Thank you, Boris". The video shows people around him applauding him.
However, British netizens have left comments and cheers under this tweet, asking what to thank Boris for?
Journalist, Mayor of London, and several overlapping emotional experiences, Johnson has a bit of a personal label
Those who are familiar with Johnson's personal experience will not forget that this mayor of London, who once made a big splash at the London Olympics , has a very personality clear.
In 2012, the then Mayor of London, Johnson was trapped in the air for several minutes during the Olympic Games, and did not forget to cheer for the British Olympic team Johnson did not hesitate to go into battle in person to cheer for the British athletes.
Johnson tried to slide a new 45-meter zipline in front of a giant open-air TV screen dedicated to the Olympics in Victoria Park in East London, and was caught in the air in full view. The
video shows that maybe due to the lack of momentum in the initial jump, wait for the pulley to slide to the center of the sling When he lost his inertia, the mayor of London was embarrassed. Mayor Johnson, who was in a "dangerous situation", continued to hold the rice flag high in the face of danger, and shouted for the British team to come on.
As a student at Johnson University, Cameron was still Johnson's boss at the time. The British Prime Minister who was in the limelight at the time praised Johnson as a rare good mayor.
In 2016, Johnson stepped down as mayor of Greater London after eight years. After leaving office, he remains popular with the people of London. A poll commissioned by Opinion at the end of his term found that 52% of Londoners thought his mayor was doing a "good job", while only 29% thought he was doing a "bad job". It is clear that Johnson as mayor is much more popular than Johnson as prime minister.
During his tenure as the mayor of London, Johnson implemented the "shared bicycle plan", and he himself rode a bicycle to work every day. He also rode a Boris bicycle to the streets with Hollywood star "Terminator" Schwarzenegger , This remained the case until he became foreign secretary, and was well received by the public. In addition, he also supported the law enforcement of the demonstrators by the Greater London Police in the "Ian Tomlinson death case". Although it caused a lot of controversy, it is undeniable that during Johnson's tenure, the crime rate throughout London was considered to be "effectively controlled".
London's shared bikes are affectionately known as "Boris Bikes"
If Cameron had a good time at Oxford University , his classmate Johnson can only say that he was "pushed" by Cameron everywhere . Cameron is called "the most capable student" by his tutor. Not only is he outstanding in his studies, he graduated with a bachelor's degree with first-class honors, and even became a teacher for his classmates, and also served as the captain of the college tennis team. Although Johnson has a certain reputation, his performance as the chairman of the debate club was not outstanding, and he finally graduated with a second-class bachelor's degree. Interestingly, Johnson is also ashamed of this.
By the way, in addition to Cameron, Johnson's classmates include George Osborne, William Haig, Michael Gove, Jeremy Hunt and others, These people all became the future Conservative Party bosses, but only Cameron and Johnson were lucky enough to become British Prime Ministers.
It can be said that Cameron and Johnson this year's Oxford graduates dominated the British political and media circles in the future.
Having said that, after graduating at the age of 22, Cameron worked in the Conservative Party Research Department. Because of his outstanding ability, he was transferred to the Prime Minister's Office to work for the then Conservative Party leader, British Prime Minister John Major, and was praised . Cameron became the leader of the Conservative Party when he was less than 40 years old and became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the age of 43. May be expected to become one of the best prime ministers after World War II .
On the other hand, after graduating from Johnson University, his career has not been smooth. He changed several jobs, and successively served as reporter, columnist and editor-in-chief of " Times ", " Daily Telegraph " and "The Spectator". , but he has not been recognized by his peers for several years, and some peers said that he "as a reporter, made up stories irresponsibly".
Nonetheless, his articles made him the favourite journalist of then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher . Johnson's career as a journalist was not without merit. When he was editor-in-chief of The Spectator, he recruited old acquaintances, including leftist painters and cartoonists, to work at the newspaper. His new style increased the newspaper's subscriptions a lot. , and start making a profit.
Many observers believe that Johnson's "outspoken" remarks and opinions may have made him angry, but at the same time he has accumulated popularity for him. He also frequently appeared on many British TV shows, and finally became a parliamentary member in 2001. Senator, it takes seven years to do it. At this time, Johnson's genius classmate Cameron is already the leader of the Conservative Party, and the twoThe phase difference is huge.
Let's put it this way, Johnson has also had one of the few times when he outperformed Cameron, his talented classmate, by getting married early, getting divorced early, and having a bunch of kids. After 9 years of Johnson's marriage, Cameron, a 30-year-old young man, got married. At this point, Cameron was completely defeated.
In 1987, Johnson got married early after graduating from college, divorced six years later, and then married his childhood friend, lawyer Marina Wheeler, and had four children. During his second marriage, Johnson cheated on an artist and had an illegitimate daughter. However, Johnson's third wife is not the artist, but a PR head of his team - Kelly Symonds , he and Symonds also have two children. In other words, Johnson gave birth to seven children with three women respectively, and he is naturally under great financial pressure as he continues to grow old and have children.
Johnson and his second wife have a son and a daughter
Johnson and his third wife have a son and a daughter.
He is also the third Prime Minister to have a spouse during his term of office after Blair and Cameron.
Britain's "Brexit" achieved Johnson
But to save his career, Johnson did not hesitate to visit Ukraine
After stepping down as mayor, Johnson completed the triple jump from MP, foreign secretary to British Prime Minister, thanks to his transfer Gunhead supports Brexit.
Before the 2016 referendum, Johnson's position on "Brexit" was rather unclear. He has published articles in newspapers arguing that the UK must leave the EU, but at the same time drafted another article saying the UK must remain in the EU.
At a critical moment, Johnson chose to support "Brexit", which meant that he stood on the opposite side of the then Prime Minister Cameron.
After the "Brexit" faction won the referendum, Cameron resigned and Johnson ran for Tory leader. But this time, Theresa May won. However, in order to "recognize" Johnson's contribution as the leader of the "Brexit" campaign, Theresa May appointed him as foreign secretary.
Until Theresa May was helpless on the "Brexit" issue and had to take the blame and resign, Johnson, who advocated a "hard Brexit", seemed to be the best candidate for Prime Minister.
It is clear that Johnson has often seized the moment at the crucial moment and betrayed his old master.
Since the conflict broke out between Russia and Ukraine more than half a year ago, Johnson has visited the Ukrainian capital Kiev three times, vigorously promoting the UK's position of supporting Ukraine, in order to divert the attention of the domestic public.
On April 9, Johnson arrived in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, for talks with Ukrainian President Zelensky. Since then, the two have strolled the streets of Kyiv under the protection of soldiers with live ammunition and were presented with a large rooster sculpture. This rooster actually came from the cabinet of an ordinary resident's house in Borodyanka, Ukraine. After the resident's home was destroyed by Russian artillery fire, the "rooster" on the cabinet and cupboard was close to the only remaining one. On the wall, the strong survived, known as Ukraine's "chicken strong".
Just two months later, on June 17, Johnson visited Kyiv again. This time, Johnson did not intend to give money directly, but to solve the urgent needs of the Ukrainian side, saying that the United Kingdom would continue to provide Ukraine with military equipment and large-scale military equipment. Personnel training program, which will train up to 10,000 military personnel for Ukraine every four months at the earliest.
Even after learning that he could not keep the prime ministership, Johnson visited Kyiv for the third time on August 24, the day when Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine for half a year, and also Ukrainian Independence Day.
Photo: From spring to summer, Johnson sent ammunition and money, and in return Zelensky sent a chicken, a Medal of Freedom, and an open letter "in recognition of a good friend."
Johnson's government is the country that spares no effort to support Ukraine in the entire Western country. No wonder Ukrainian President Zelensky also thanked Johnson after the new Prime Minister Truss announced his victory and gave him a Ukrainian name "Johnsoniuk Johnson Newk" .
Johnson has earned unprecedented respect from Ukrainian , but has lost the respect of his talented classmates, who during Cameron's tenure were led by a senior aide to the Downing Street 10 team who urged a UK-based organisation called Momentum Activists from the left-wing political group Momentum dumped animal waste outside Johnson's house in a last-ditch effort to stop Brexit.
dumping animal dung, such a childish thing can be done, and British politics is quite dramatic.
