LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is heading to northern England to meet newly elected Conservative lawmakers. Johnson is going to the country’s working class heartland that turned its back on the opposition Labour Party in Thursday’s elections and helped give him an 80-seat majority. Following that sweeping victory, Johnson is calling for an end to the acrimony that has festered throughout the country since the divisive 2016 Brexit referendum and is urging the country to “let the healing begin.” There is little sign of healing in the defeated Labour Party, though. Ousted lawmakers are laying the blame squarely at the feet of leader Jeremy Corbyn.
