British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited a chips factory in Northern Ireland, Thursday, November 7, his first campaign day ahead of a general election on December 12.
Johnson was taught by factory employees how to select potatoes, and even tasted the final product before preparing several boxes for delivery. The poll Johnson called to try to break a parliamentary deadlock over Brexit is shaping up to be a contest between two parties more than willing to break with years of economic austerity imposed since the Conservatives took power in 2010.
