Boris Johnson was on course to deliver a nightmare on Downing Street last night, after securing a huge majority in the General Election.
He said: "We must understand now what an earthquake we have created. The way in which we have changed the political map in this country."We have to rise to the level of events. We have to rise to the challenge that the British people have given us."But he said he would stay on to oversee a period of "reflection" - and the selection of a new leader.
It would also put Mr Corbyn, who has overseen a worse election result than Michael Foot, under intense pressure to stand down. “Importantly, we have outlined throughout this entire campaign the focus has been on Brexit. We want to get Brexit done.” The third election in five years, and the first to be held in December in almost 100 years, came after Mr Johnson gambled his premiership on triggering the vote.
The exit poll is derived from voters at 144 stations being asked to fill in a mock ballot paper as they leave, disclosing how they have voted. Plans also include a separate cabinet post to be created specifically for housing - rather than having a more junior minister attending Cabinet as before. Officials at the Department for Exiting the EU are expected to be moved to either the Cabinet Office or the Department for International Trade after January 31 next year.
The radical shake-up plan is being led by Mr Johnson’s top adviser, Dominic Cummings, who helped run Vote Leave and has often expressed his disdain for the civil service who he sees as a roadblock to reform.
