Boris Johnson has launched the Conservative Party's election campaign, saying his Brexit deal "delivers everything I campaigned for".

Surrounded by supporters holding signs with messages including "Get Brexit Done", he told activists he had "no choice" but to hold an election.

Parliament is "paralysed" and "blocked", he said in Birmingham, Eurasia Diary reports citing BBC.

He said once Brexit was done, a Tory government could get on with "better education" and "better infrastructure".
