A surprise reshuffle resulted in Chancellor Sajid Javid quitting his post rather than accept advisers appointed directly by Number 10. His replacement, Rishi Sunak, was unknown to all but the most focused Westminster-watchers. In December 2021, more stringent restrictions for England were put forward by Johnson and the government. The restrictions, called "Plan B", were a partial renewal of previous measures due to the increased incidence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. These proposals included face coverings to be required in more public settings, guidance to work from home wherever possible, and requirements of COVID-19 passports to enter a nightclub or other large venues. [528] The government experienced the largest rebellion of Conservative MPs during Johnson's premiership, in opposition to these measures.

Johnson appointed his Cabinet on 24July 2019, [452] dismissing 11 senior ministers and accepting the resignation of six others. [453] [454] The mass dismissal was the most extensive postwar Cabinet reorganisation without a change in the ruling party. [455] [456] In late August 2019 he asked the Queen to prorogue parliament - meaning the Commons would not sit for five weeks between 9 September and 14 October. The deadline for the end of the UK's Brexit negotiations with the EU was 31 October. In the election, Johnson received 43 per cent and Livingstone 37 per cent of first-preference votes; when second-preference votes were added, Johnson was victorious with 53 per cent to Livingstone's 47 per cent. [209] [210] Johnson subsequently announced his intention to stand down as MP for Henley. [211] [212] First term: 2008–2012Flynn filmed part of the incident last month on her phone and when she posted it on YouTube it went viral. The officers, from BTP, told her she was in breach of the law by wearing the T-shirt because it displayed an obscene word that could cause alarm or distress. Flynn welcomed the police apology and admission that they had acted unlawfully towards her. “I’m thrilled,” she said. “Now I can be confident that I can wear the T-shirt without fear of arrest.” It was at this time that Mr Cummings and his close ally Lee Cain, Mr Johnson's director of communications, left their roles - the result of what was described as a power struggle in Number 10 in which a group of advisers loyal to the prime minister's wife came out on top. Her lawyers, Joanna Khan and Michael Oswald at Bhatt Murphy solicitors, said: “This admission that the officers’ actions were unlawful and the apology to our client are welcome. They should serve as a strong reminder to police officers that the freedom to express political opinion, and to criticise politicians, is fundamental to a free and democratic society, and that invoking the criminal law to limit that freedom will be unacceptable and unlawful in all but the most extreme circumstances.” Her lawyers, Joanna Khan and Michael Oswald at Bhatt Murphy Solicitors, are arguing that the officers were in breach of human rights legislation. Flynn is seeking assurances that officers will not adopt the same approach if she wears the T-shirt at future protests and has requested an apology from the police.

He began by setting out what he described as "the agenda for the next prime minister of this country".

Anything suggesting that the people who had been making those rules had not gone through that same experience hit public opinion like salt on an open wound.

Born in New York in 1964, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson spent the first years of his life moving between countries with his family, as his father Stanley pursued a varied international career.

The result showcased Mr Johnson's broad electoral appeal and caused many Conservatives to wonder: If he could beat Labour in London, what could he do across the rest of the country? The comment resulted in Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe's prison sentence being extended. Her family have never forgiven Mr Johnson for the error.He delivered it with uncharacteristic contrition in the Commons on 12 January 2022, but even then his remorse came with the excuse that, as far as he was aware, the guidelines had always been followed. Contemplating a political career, in 1993, Johnson outlined his desire to stand as a Conservative candidate to be a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in the 1994 European Parliament elections. Andrew Mitchell convinced Major not to veto Johnson's candidacy, but Johnson could not find a constituency. [127] He subsequently turned his attention to obtaining a seat in the UK House of Commons. After being rejected as Conservative candidate for Holborn and St. Pancras, his party selected him the candidate for Clwyd South in north Wales, then a Labour Party safe seat. Spending six weeks campaigning, he attained 9,091 votes (23 per cent) in the 1997 general election, losing to the Labour candidate.

Johnson said Trump was "betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him, frankly, unfit to hold the office of president of the United States", [301] becoming the first senior politician in the UK to declare Trump unfit for office, but rejecting calls for him to be banned from the country. [302] Johnson added that he "would invite [Trump] to come and see the whole of London and take him round the city – except I wouldn't want to expose Londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump". [301] He later called Trump's comments "ill informed" and "complete and utter nonsense", adding that "the only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump". [303] In 2016, he said he was "genuinely worried that he could become president", telling ITV's Tom Bradby of one moment where he was mistaken for Trump in New York as "one of the worst moments" of his life.

The fight to replace Mrs May in Number 10 ended up in a head-to-head contest between Jeremy Hunt, then the foreign secretary, and Mr Johnson. On 27 April Johnson asked the Cabinet Secretary, Simon Case, to hold a review about the refurbishment. [536] On 28 April, the Electoral Commission announced it had opened a formal investigation into the allegations. [537] [538] On the same day Johnson said that he had not broken any laws over the refurbishment and had met the requirements he was obliged to meet in full. [539] During Prime Minister's Questions, the leader of the opposition, Keir Starmer, asked: "Who initially paid for the redecoration of his Downing Street flat?"; Johnson responded: "I paid for Downing Street's refurbishment personally." [540] When she and a friend left the demonstration and were walking to Oxford Circus she saw two police officers gesturing to her. She did not understand what they were trying to communicate and went over to speak to them. National measures were replaced with regional tiers, and the prime minister promised a "significant return to normality by Christmas". In a speech on the steps of Downing Street, the new prime minister said he would prove the "the doubters, the doomsters and the gloomsters" wrong, and deliver Brexit "no ifs, no buts".

Despite saying he would rather be "dead in a ditch" than delay the UK's departure any further, the request was eventually sent and approved by the EU - a new deadline was set for 31 January 2020. His decision to demand his party vote against the suspension of fellow Brexiteer and former cabinet minister Owen Paterson, who had breached paid lobbying rules, caused outrage - prompting an embarrassing U-turn and apology. Before the election, Johnson published Johnson's Life of London, a work of popular history that the historian A. N. Wilson characterised as a "coded plea" for votes.
