‘Is that it?’: Seven reactions to Johnson’s sanctions that are tougher than the measures themselves
The sanctions suggest the Government "cares more about protecting Tory party donations and London’s laundromat", Caroline Lucas said.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician and writer serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 2016-2018 and Mayor of London 2008-2016. Johnson has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and was previously MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.

Campaigner Peter Stefanovic said Johnson was "so out of touch with the reality for working people in this country".
