Boris Johnson was due to enter 10 Downing St. as Britain’s new prime minister on Wednesday, vowing to lead the U.K. out of the European Union and unite a country deeply divided over Brexit.

Boris Johnson became Britain’s new prime minister Wednesday, vowing to lead the U.K. out of the European Union, “no ifs, ands or buts.”

Famed for his bravado, quips in Latin and blond mop of hair, Johnson easily defeated Conservative rival Jeremy Hunt, winning two-thirds of the votes of about 160,000 party members across the U.K. And she fired back at Corbyn: “As a party leader who has accepted when her time was up, perhaps the time is now for him to do the same?”

Reminding her successor of the risks posed by a disruptive Brexit, May said the new government’s priority must be “to complete our exit from the European Union in a way that works for the whole United Kingdom.” Half an hour later, Johnson spoke in Downing Street, giving Britons a glimpse at his priorities and policy plans.

“I say to all the doubters: ‘Dude, we are going to energize the country, we are going to get Brexit done,’” he said.

Britain’s new Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed Britain will leave the EU on Oct. 31 — “no ifs, ands or buts.” In his first speech as leader outside 10 Downing Street, Johnson says he will get “a new deal, a better deal” from the EU on Brexit.

No chance. He's despised and hopefully will only have five minutes before he's binned

If Boris Johnson shifts his Brexit plans, the pound could trade 'north of $1.35,' says UBS'If the market realizes that the hard Brexit probability starts to shrink, I think the pound can come back. So we're probably going to trade north of $1.30, $1.35, somewhere there,' UBS investor Dominic Schnider said on Wednesday. Boris shift his Brexit Plans? Never. He’s a man of principles. Although if you don’t like them, he’s got others. You should read “Ethics in the New Age of Old Etonians” to be truly enlightened.
