'Never mind backstop, the buck stops here': BorisJohnson takes personal responsibility for delivering Brexit

He also promised work would begin to recruit 20,000 police officers, upgrade 20 new hospitals, fix the social care"crisis" and"level up" funding for primary and secondary schools.

Priti Patel, Alok Sharma, Rishi Sunak, Oliver Dowden, Tracey Crouch and Robert Jeninck have all been tipped for promotion. It is expected a woman will be appointed to one of the great offices of state - the foreign secretary, home secretary and chancellor - following Mr Johnson's promise to do so in a TV debate last week.

But Mr Johnson's Brexit plans could face fierce opposition from Tory MPs who want to block him pursuing a no-deal divorce.to limit the next prime minister's ability to close parliament to force through no-deal.Analysis: Johnson's first speech as PM brimming with optimismIt was the speech of a man who has spent many years watching from the sidelines and pondering how he might do a better job as prime minister.

He repeated his promise, the reason many Conservative Party members backed him, that the UK will leave the EU by the 31 October"no ifs no buts", a no-deal would be the fault of EU leaders who refuse to compromise and in that scenario the UK would be"lubricated" by that £39bn Mr Johnson has vowed to withhold.

The UK will no longer be a"prisoner of old arguments" of the EU referendum he said, promising to ensure instead that Britain will not be defeated and he will work"flat out" to deliver a new deal with Europe in just 99 days time.
