Boris Johnson served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Leader of the Conservative Party, Foreign Secretary and Mayor of London. Mr Johnson first entered Parliament in 2001 as MP for Henley. He was twice elected Mayor of London. In 2019, he led the Conservative Party to an extraordinary election victory, winning their biggest majority in the House of Commons since 1987 and the highest share of the vote of any party since 1979. Delivering Brexit - the UK’s exit from the European Union - was Mr Johnson’s first major achievement in Downing Street. At home, he unleashed a visionary agenda of domestic policy reform, with a focus on infrastructure, education, and technology. More recently, Mr Johnson emerged as the preeminent global leader in the effort to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian invasion. Under his leadership the UK committed more than £2.4 billion in military assistance, huge humanitarian support and became Ukraine’s foremost European political partner. Mr. Johnson has been a key ally of President Volodomyr Zelenskyy and is considered by the Kremlin as enemy number one. In addition to his work in politics, Mr. Johnson is an award-winning journalist, writer and editor. He is the author of almost a dozen books, from the globally bestselling historical biography of Winston Churchill, The Churchill Factor, to the self-illustrated children’s book The Perils Of Pushy Parents.
