British PM Boris Johnson tweeted that he’s looking forward to releasing the Tory party’s manifesto on Sunday, less than three weeks before the country goes to the polls.
Johnson said the manifesto will respect the Brexit referendum and allow the government to focus on delivering “real benefits†to the nation.
The tweet followed an appearance by Johnson and the leaders of the three other biggest parties on BBC TV, during which he faced tough questions on issues including racism, the National Health Service and his trustworthiness.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn told viewers that should Labour form the next government, he would stay neutral in a new referendum on any new Brexit deal he negotiates with the European Union. He also received a grilling on plans to increase taxes and on whether he might do a deal with the Scottish National Party after the December 12 vote.
Boris Johnson distanced himself from nine years of Tory government, saying he was Mayor of London for part of the time.
Corbyn, Sturgeon, Liberal Democrat Jo Swinson and Johnson answered questions from voters in a special edition of BBC TV’s Question Time show.
“We have developed a clear plan that respects the referendum, gets it done, and allows us to move on and focus on delivering real benefits for you and your family,†Johnson said.
