AFP, LONDONBritish Prime Minister Boris Johnson was yesterday to unveil his Conservative Party’s manifesto, pledging to move on from Brexit and austerity in a bid to secure a general election victory. “I’m looking forward to sharing our manifesto,” Johnson said on Twitter on Saturday. The main plank of the Conservative manifesto is the Brexit deal Johnson negotiated with Brussels last month. However, Johnson has his weak spots, especially after the years of austerity imposed by Conservative governments since 2010. Johnson has announced a three-year plan to increase state-school spending in England by ￡7.1 billion by 2022-2023.
