British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is committed to restoring “a smaller state” and “taking a step back from people’s lives” following two years of COVID-19 restrictions and massive public spending, his new chief of staff has said.
Steve Barclay, who was handed the role as part of the shake-up of Number 10 Downing Street in response to the “partygate” scandal, said the prime minister is “taking a close look at where he can cut the size of the state.”
