LONDON - Britain was speeding toward Brexit on Friday after Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a crushing election victory, ending three years of uncertainty since the country decided to leave the bloc.
“We will get Brexit done on time by the 31st of January, no ifs, no buts, no maybes,” a triumphant Johnson told cheering supporters as a grey dawn broke over London. The Brexit issue, which has consumed politics and the public debate in Britain since 2016, has eroded traditional party loyalties, dividing the nation along new fault lines of urban vs rural, young vs old, and graduates vs non-graduates.
“You may hope to return to Labour next time round, and if that is the case, I am humbled that you have put your trust in me,” he said, a rare note of humility from a politician best known for his bombastic rhetoric and supreme self-belief.But it was a very different picture in Scotland, where the anti-Brexit, pro-independence Scottish National Party won 48 out of 59 Commons seats by thrashing both the Conservatives and Labour.
