A SHOCK defeat at the polls spurred ‘disappointed’ Boris Johnson into reaffirming his election promises to Britain.
The Prime Minister yesterday vowed to use “rocket boosters” to rebuild the country after the “warning shot” byelection loss.
He is to redouble efforts to deliver Tory manifesto promises with more nurses, hospitals and police high in his priorities, said a No 10 source.
Mr Johnson’s reset of his Premiership comes after the Conservatives lost a previously ultra-safe Buckinghamshire seat.
He said the loss of Chesham and Amersham to the Lib Dems was “disappointing”, but added: “We are getting on with delivering our agenda for the whole country.”
The PM also intends to follow his recent trade deal with Australia by securing agreements with New Zealand and the Pacific region.
After 18 months dominated by delivering Brexit and tackling the pandemic, he plans to concentrate on meeting manifesto pledges and “building back better” from Covid.
He also intends to help young people get on the housing ladder by creating more homes.
The Government is pushing for benefits in all its international trade agreements that will spread increased wealth across the UK, as it re-balances the economy.
A deal with the United States should also be signed by next year.
Mr Johnson, who yesterday visited a sixth form centre and a biscuit factory in West Yorkshire, is determined the poll setback will not throw the Conservatives off course.
