British PM bids farewell to parliament

Boris Johnson’s last days as prime minister will be remembered, among other things, for his curious farewell. The still leader of the conservatives wanted to conclude the last government meeting before the summer holidays in the style of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He stood on the podium and with a smile on his face he uttered the famous phrase, “goodbye, baby”. Although in Spain ‘sayonara’ was always said in the translated version of ‘Terminator 2’.

Johnson’s intervention was full of contrasts. When parting in ‘Terminator’ mode, the opposition bench chased the still prime minister. Johnson has been accused of failures, deceit, division and scandal in his three years in office.

It was his controversial parties that energized the future of Johnson, who amassed up to 50 resignations from his government in just 48 hours. It was the reason that prompted him to resign a few weeks ago. The same ones who forced his departure yesterday stood up and applauded the already famous ‘hasta la vista, baby’. Although it was not unanimous. Former Prime Minister Theresa May, who did get up from her seat, never applauded Johnson, according to British journalists who were present in the room.

“We’ve helped…I’ve helped this country overcome a pandemic and save another (Ukraine) from barbarism. And frankly, that’s enough to keep going. Mission largely accomplished,” Johnson congratulated in one of his last He later took the opportunity to offer a series of advices to his successor: “Stay close to America, support Ukraine, cut taxes and deregulate, don’t let the Treasury Department limit ambitious projects and watch the electorate. ”

Finally, after considering the criticism of the opposition “satiric”, Johnson wanted to close his farewell with another reflective phrase: “Remember, it’s not Twitter that counts, it’s the people who sent us here.”
