He was keen to describe the plans as a "New Deal", referencing the plans of Depression-era American President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who launched one of largest, most expensive US government programmes after the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Here are the main points: * Johnson said the government must assess its handling of the coronavirus crisis, saying: "There must be time to learn the lessons and we will." * He reiterated his plan from the election manifesto to recruit 20,000 police officers, as well as "ending the lunacy that stops us deporting violent criminals" * He said he wants to "build back greener and build a more beautiful Britain" by planting 30,000 hectares of trees to "enchant and re-energise the soul" * He pledged to build “fantastic new homes” by introducing radical planning reforms, as well as help younger people get on the housing ladder * The UK should set a goal for producing the world’s first zero emissions long haul, passenger plane, he said, adding that the country can be a “science super power” * He promised the government will offer an “opportunity guaranteed” for every person to have an apprenticeship or in-work placement.
