Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson appears in Keep qualms and carry on: a decade after Brexit as a pivotal Brexit figure. The episode says his decision to back Leave mattered in a narrow referendum, and that he later led the United Kingdom into a harder form of Brexit that formally took effect in 2020.

The source also links Johnson to Post-Brexit Immigration Politics. Despite sovereignty and migration-control rhetoric during the Brexit campaign, the episode says net migration later surged under Johnson’s post-Brexit system, producing disillusionment among voters who expected migration to fall.
