  2. 1. People miss Boris Johnson very much, they believe that he represented the last hope of Brexit.
    2. Brexit insisted that the NHS would be stronger, class sizes - smaller and taxes - lower and wages would be higher and fuel bills would be lower.
    3. No, they didn't. These promises were unrealistic from the start, and it was also dangerous and foolish to make such promises.

  3. 1)They miss him and treat him well.
    2)They promised that “the NHS will be stronger, class sizes smaller and taxes lower. They’ll have more money to spend on their priorities, wages will be higher and fuel bills will be lower.”
    3) Unfortunately not. They didn't do anything.

  4. 1. a few other people saw it, Johnson had successfully managed the Covid vaccination programme, and brought some pizzazz and humour to the boring world of politics, which had now reverted to type.
    2. the NHS will be stronger, class sizes smaller and taxes lower. We’ll have more money to spend on our priorities, wages will be higher and fuel bills will be lower.
    3. no, they did not, but on the contrary, they worsened the situation.

  5. 1. People believed that he was the last hope for Brexit, and missed him.
    2. Brexit insisted that everything would be better (NHS, taxes lower etc).
    3. No, they didn't. The promises turned out to be empty words.

  7. 1. People miss Boris Johnson and they believe that he represented the last hope of Brexit.
    2. Brexit claimed the NHS would be strengthened, class sizes would shrink, taxes would go down, wages would rise and fuel bills would go down.
    3.No, it's not. Firstly, such a promise is unrealistic, and it is dangerous and stupid to make such a promise in itself.
