Boris Johnson has been elected new Conservative leader in a ballot of party members and will become the next UK prime minister.

He beat Jeremy Hunt comfortably, winning 92,153 votes to his rival's 46,656.

The former London mayor takes over from Theresa May on Wednesday.

In his victory speech, Mr Johnson promised he would "deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn".

Speaking at the Queen Elizabeth II centre in London, he said: "We are going to energise the country.

"We are going to get Brexit done on 31 October and take advantage of all the opportunities it will bring with a new spirit of can do.

"We are once again going to believe in ourselves, and like some slumbering giant we are going to rise and ping off the guy ropes of self doubt and negativity."

    Yes I remember this too. "TRUMP" was trending topic anywhere that there was a trending topic. He was way behind in the polls and yet it was buzzfeed and other shitty news sites that wouldn't shut up about him. All these "influencers" seemed to have patreon at the time. I personally think that russians were paying irrelevant SJWs. If you look at the same people these days they're still humping that dead horse like they expect the money to fall from the sky again but it never does. Anita recently got laughed out of the room after trying to shake down cyberpunk 2077.

    Anita Sarkeesian’s Feminist Frequency Nonprofit Is Broke [hotair.com]. Needs a factcheck, domain's at least been around since 1995. It could just be a bunch of hot air, after all.
