LONDON – British PM Boris Johnson stated that a parliamentary majority wants to resist calls to break up the UK. This is a reference to the demand of a draft of a new independence referendum by Scottish Nationalist lawmakers.
“Most honourable members in this House believe we should resist the calls of those who would break up the United Kingdom and, as the parliament of the United Kingdom, we should politely and respectfully defend that partnership and that union,” Johnson told parliament following his election win last week.
