BORIS JOHNSON NEEDS TO BE BOLD.

Regardless of your political persuasion, people agree that Sir Winson Churchill was Britain's greatest Prime Minister. What made him special was his intelligence, imagination and great foresight. People who have shown extraordinary foresight are often rather unconventional. They take calculated risks. They aren't afraid to be bold. In 1912, then an MP for Dundee, he proposed that English regions should be governed by regional parliaments and powers devolved to areas such as Yorkshire, Lancashire, Midlands and London. In Boris Johnson, we have a Prime Minister who is intelligent, unconventional, bold and a risk-taker. He has yet to prove he has the foresight. As London Mayor, he successfully led the assembly and must realise the great potential that Yorkshire has to kick start the economy after Brexit. Yorkshire can firmly establish itself as a global brand and deliver economic benefits for not just Yorkshire but all of the UK.
