Boris Johnson has set out his visions of a post-Brexit Britain, saying his goal would be to ‘level up’ the economy in all areas of the country.

Mr Johnson has said that a Tory victory and majority government would be beneficial for the country’s ‘politics, economy and psychological health’ after years of prolonged Brexit delay.

The spending competition is one which every party has bought a ticket for, but when the raffle results come out, Labour will hope to go out on a ‘£1.2 trillion’ spending spree on public services and renationalisation; something which many think is a hard feat to achieve. Labour currently promises to raise the NHS budget to £155 billion by 2023/24, £6bn more than the current target. Health Secretary Matt Hancock has labelled this plan as one which would “cripple our economy” however.

Yet the current spending budget of £121 billion this year does not cover the entirety of health care spending, with a further £18bn covering staff training, building projects and public health schemes.

Both the Tories and Labour are looking to increase the current budget for all departments and sectors by more than it has been in recent years. Although higher spending means higher taxes.

This election is Johnson vs Corbyn, with the other parties as the undercards. More is to develop in this election campaign, but it is down to either get Brexit done, or don’t.
