British PM Johnson upbeat despite UK's woesJohnson addresses the annual Conservative conference on WednesdayMANCHESTER (UNITED KINGDOM) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday vowed to press on with his post-Brexit agenda for Britain, even as the country faces a growing supply chain crisis made worse by its EU departure. In a bullish eve-of-conference message to the Tory faithful, Johnson vowed to forge ahead with his post-Covid recovery plan to "build back better" in areas from infrastructure to climate change. Meanwhile, another storm is brewing with France after Britain refused many licence applications to fish in UK territorial waters. Last week, the main opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer attacked Johnson as a Brexit-obsessed one-trick pony without a plan, even if his popularity remains high with the public. "We have a fuel crisis, a pay crisis, a goods crisis, and a cost of living crisis, all at the same time."
