Dundee (Scotland): British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Brexit was now unstoppable speaking during his tour of the working-class heartland of northern England on Saturday.
Johnson told media in Sedgefield where residents rejected the Labour Party and handed over their vote to the Conservatives, that it was time for us as a country to move on.
"It's time for us to come together and deliver on our one nation agenda. That's what, that's what I want to do."

Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon said from Dundee on Saturday that she had told Johnson in a phone call that she had the mandate to offer people a choice.
"The election this week was a watershed moment for Scotland. Scotland very clearly wants a different future to the one that's been chosen by much of the rest of the UK," she said.
