On 24 July, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, now known universally as Boris Johnson, became the new Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

He was baptised into the Roman Catholic Church by his mother and confirmed as an Anglican when a teenager. But later in life, when commenting on his own faith, he has simply said it sort of comes and goes. Of course, God alone knows the heart. But it is fair to say that Mr Johnson’s colourful private life suggests he is very much a man of the world.

As we enter this new chapter in our history, with a new Prime Minister in place, it is worth asking ourselves what PM Boris Johnson will mean for Christians. By examining his voting record, it is possible to draw out some conclusions. It is a very mixed bag.
