- A Statement from the Bruges Group -

The news that Boris Johnson was admitted to ICU on Monday evening came as a
profound shock and the Bruges Group joins the entire nation in sending a
message of support to Boris, Carrie and their family. Our thoughts, prayers
and best wishes are with them all at this challenging time.

The Prime Minister's dedication to the people of the United Kingdom at this
difficult moment in our country's history is admirable. Having led the
nation's fight against Covid-19, he now faces a very personal battle but we
know that he is a fighter and hope to see him back at his best and in
Downing Street in the near future.
