The newly re-elected Prime Minister of Britain Boris Johnson said 'let the healing begin' on December 13 in a speech outside 10 Downing Street. After acquiring a thumping Conservative majority in the British Parliament and 'finally' achieving a Brexit-dominated outcome, Johnson urged the citizens of UK to 'find closure' after more than three and a half years of 'arid argument' over Britain's divorce from the 27-nation bloc. 

Johnson believes that as the new government is formed in Britain it starts working with the European Union towards rebuilding their relationship, politicians on either side of the debate should now find time to 'heal'. The UK PM also said in his speech that, he has heard 'loud and clear' that the priority of the British people currently is to focus on the state-run National Health Service. Johnson has promised to deliver Brexit by January 31, 2020, and then focus on 'other priorities' of the country. The British PM has promised to give the 'biggest boost' to the NHS by providing more than 50,000 nurses, 40 new hospitals along with better schools and safer streets. Johnson also said that his government will bring forward the proposals which will 'transform the country'.
