Boris Johnson says he has an “overwhelming mandate” from the election to “get Brexit done” but wants the country to begin “healing” after a divisive campaign.
In his first speech since retaining the keys to Number 10, the prime minister declared on the steps of Downing Street that he would honour a promise to take the UK out of the EU by 31 January.

He said that more than three years since the referendum result, “this country deserves a break from wrangling, a break from politics and a permanent break from talking about Brexit.
Speaking outside Downing Street, Mr Johnson thanked lifelong Labour supporters who deserted Jeremy Corbyn’s party and turned to the Conservatives, saying he would fulfil his pledge to take the UK out of the EU on 31 January.
“I say thank you for the trust you have placed in us and in me and we will work round the clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a Parliament that works for you”.
