May sends Johnson to Labour heartland as terror shapes campaign
London
CONSERVATIVE Prime Minister Theresa May will deploy Boris Johnson to the northeast of England in a bid to conquer Brexit-supporting Labour strongholds, even as the fallout from the London terror attacks continues to dominate the campaign.
Mr Johnson, one of the faces of the "Leave" campaign, was expected to say in a Tuesday speech that only Mrs May can "get Brexit right". Labour will aim to shore up its support in working-class areas with a warning that Mrs May's plans to cut winter heating support for the elderly will cause thousands of extra deaths.
