Boris Johnson: Britain's new Prime Minister

Britain's Boris Johnson will make his first visit to Scotland as prime minister on Monday, as his Conservative Party's leader there said she would refuse to support a no-deal Brexit. Johnson took office on Wednesday with a pledge to deliver Britain's exit from the European Union by October 31.Scotland rejected independence by a 55-45% majority in 2014 but then voted to stay in the EU at the 2016 Brexit referendum, fueling calls for a second independence vote from those who argue it is being taken out of the bloc against its wishes. Johnson will visit a military base in Scotland as part of a tour of the United Kingdom to announce extra funding for local communities.We speak to: • Professor Jo-Ansie Van Wyk, of University of South Africa (Unisa) politics department.• Simon Usherwood, reader in politics at the University of Surrey.
