The Brexit Grind

Boris Johnson is said to be preparing to call a general election immediately after Brexit in an attempt to consolidate power before the full effects of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union materialise, especially in a "no deal" scenario where shortages of food and medicine are anticipated as well as a devalued currency and travel difficulties. Should Johnson lose he will be the fifth consecutive Conservative leader to be defeated or resign amid acrimony over Britain's relationship with Europe.
