Boris Wants To Be My Friend

So the new year begins and the Prime Minister's message is that he wants to be friends with remainers and non-Conservatives and people who didn't vote for him.   Well it is a bit jarring to hear it given that the campaign to leave was carried out in the most polarising way possible and the recent election campaign was based on obvious lies and smears.  But Johnson has the authority that comes from holding the top job. And he has a mandate to deliver Brexit.  It would be churlish to reject the overture out of hand.
