Today he will welcome 109 new Tory MPs to Westminster, after picking up dozens of seats in the election.

A Downing Street source said: “The seismic events on Thursday returned Conservative MPs in Bolsover, in Blyth and in Bishop Auckland to name but a few.

“This election and the new generation of MPs that have resulted from Labour towns turning blue will help change our politics for the better.

“The PM has been very clear that we have a responsibility to deliver a better future for our country and that we must repay the public’s trust by getting Brexit done.

“Our job is to serve the people of this country, and the “People’s Government” will deliver on the people’s priorities.”

He’s expected to start carrying out a mini-reshuffle to fill posts left by the departure of Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan, who stepped down as an MP, and ex-Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns who resigned at the start of the election.

Environment Minister Zac Goldsmith who lost his seat, will also need a replacement.

He’s said to be planning a more significant reshuffle next year, as well as a huge overhaul of Whitehall.

Boris is set to use s £100billion infrastructure fund to reward voters in the Midlands and North who voted Tory for the first time last week – pumping in cash to neglected areas.

He will also focus on delivering his Australian-style points immigration system and toughening up our borders.

The NHS will also be a key priority for the PM, enshrining in law dedicated funding promises.

On Thursday the PM will reveal his Queen’s Speech, will deliver an extra £34billion of funding for the health service.

BORIS Johnson will put out his vision for Government this week in Thursday’s Queen’s Speech.

It will include a mix of policies designed to appeal right across the spectrum, and which will deliver on his promises to the people.

Just two months after the last one, the PM will ask Her Majesty to formally re-open Parliament so it can get on with creating new laws.

It will include:

  • Brexit bill – expected to be brought back as early as Friday
  • New laws that all convicted terrorists have to serve at least 14 years behind bars
  • Ban on rail strikes putting an end to hell for commuters
  • Outlawing section 21 revenge evictions
  • Preventing authorities from boycotting individual companies

A Tory source said the first six months of the new government are crucial.

They said: “The first six to 12 months are key. People have got real expectations of change and we have got to show we are delivering it.

“People need to feel this first term has worked for them, they need to be able to point to things locally that have changed, they need to feel that their lives have got better – otherwise they will not vote for us again.

“That is not easy and we need to refocus the whole of government to do it.”
