٠٠:٠٠:٤٢UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson presented the election as a choice between Britain and Corbyn "who sided with Putin, when Russia ordered poisonings on the streets of Salisbury," for the upcoming general election, during a speech in front of 10 Downing Street on Wednesday.
"Come with us and a government that believe Britain should stand tall in the world. Or go with Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party who sided with Putin, when Russia ordered poisonings on the streets of Salisbury. Come with us, get Brexit done and take this country forward, or, this is the alternative next year, spend the whole of 2020 in a horror show of yet more dither and delay," said Johnson.
The PM was referring to Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, who were poisoned by a nerve agent in Salisbury in March 2018.
Dawn Sturgess, a resident in the nearby town of Amesbury, died in July 2018 of from what the UK government has alleged was a nerve agent called Novichok, when her partner, Charlie Rowley, gave her a bottle of perfume suspected to have contained the agent used in the alleged Salisbury attack. Rowley survived the poisoning.
The UK government has continued to hold Moscow responsible for both incidents. Corbyn has stated the evidence "pointed towards Russia" but did not go as far as his Conservative counterparts. The Kremlin has denied any involvement in the affair.
