LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson intends to bring back Brexit legislation to parliament before Christmas, deputy finance minister Rishi Sunak said on Sunday, adding that shortly thereafter the government would present a new budget. “The overriding mandate that we have from this election is to get Brexit done ...We will leave the European Union in a matter of weeks, by the end of January. Our intention is to bring the Withdrawal Bill, the legislation, back to parliament before Christmas,” Sunak told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show.

Asked why the government planned to enshrine its pledge to boost funding on Britain’s National Health Service into law, Sunak said: “I think the NHS, everyone agrees, is the number one priority of the British people. “It’s our number one domestic priority and I think this piece of legislation will just underscore that commitment.”

Given the record of these crooks, I wouldn’t be surprised if, to gain approval, the first law is a combination that protects NHS and authorizes EU exit, and is then followed up by a new law that chips away at the “protects NHS” part of the first law.

Nonsense. It takes around two weeks for MPs to all take the oath of office, get offices arranged, etc. No parliamentary business can take place in that period. A Queen's speech also has to be arranged.

We don't have a 'Deputy FM' or indeed a 'FM' in the UK cabinet. Sunak's title is Chief Secretary to the Treasury. It's not a difficult title to understand.

Not what michaelgove said! You can't believe the Conservatives

How Boris Johnson used Brexit populism to storm to victoryAnalysis: A simple message, changing behavior by voters and Brexit fatigue propelled British PM Johnson and the Conservatives to a big win. Maybe the populace was sick of leftist policies? 🤔 Trump will probably win the next election in a landslide if not removed from office. Divisive, misleading politics works these days due to lies spread on the internet, anger at the ruling elites, broken promises from governments for so long. Trump and Brexit are a result of this.
