Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Well, after she was pushed out by Johnson, the UK experienced an net inward flow of historic proportions, as EU rules fell away and the new, much-vaunted "Australian-style points system" was introduced by Johnson and his Home Secretary, Priti Patel.
51% : Johnson happily gave the impression, shall we say, that Brexit would allow the UK to "take back control" of immigration policy and, thus, reduce it massively.
50% : He did "get Brexit done", but not in the way he had led them to believe.
47% : As Theresa May said when she took over in 2016, cutting immigration was the whole point of Brexit so far as many people were concerned, misguided or not.
43% : Johnson may plead he never said anything explicit about that; but let us be quite sure that if he had mentioned during all those intense debates a decade ago that a couple of million people from outside the EU would soon be turning up he would not have won that referendum - or become prime minister.
39% : Today he stands accused by Nigel Farage of an historic betrayal of Brexit and the demands of the British people as expressed in the 2016 EU Referendum, and in numerous elections and opinion polls since - especially when Johnson was in power.
39% : There was a spike, a wave, of non-EU immigration when Johnson became prime minister - the "Boris wave".
