Boris Johnson is officially Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. After taking over from Theresa May at the helm of the British Conservative Party, the former mayor of London has been given the job by Queen Elizabeth II.
Shortly before, as announced in recent days, some ministers of the May government decided to resign. Taking a step back were David Lidington, former deputy prime minister, Philip Hammond, British chancellor of the Exchequer, David Gauke, minister of justice, and Rory Steward, minister of international cooperation. Meanwhile the BBC announced the choice of Dominic cummings, guru of the Vote Leave campaign, one of the prime minister's advisers.
On Wednesday evening Johnson will name the names of those who will be part of the new government. An executive who will find himself having to complete the path of Brexit, more than three years after the referendum that sanctioned the victory of the Leave.
During his speech at the Downing Street entrance, the new Premier tried to reassure everyone by claiming that the “No deal is not necessary”, although the UK must prepare for the “remote” possibility of a no-deal Brexit with the EU. The Prime Minister has promised the British a "new and better agreement" with the European Union" to bring home by October 31st, the day on which the exit is set. We will prove “the critics and the doubters wrong,” Johnson said, while recalling that there are only 99 days. Tomorrow, Thursday 25 July, the Premier will speak to the Municipalities, where he will illustrate his programme.
