The author of the UK's departure from the EU now has to deliver the post-Brexit prosperity he promised the people.
Mr Johnson won an election on the promise of"Getting Brexit Done", and is now tasked with writing the next chapter in our story as a nation.And there will be two great, as yet unknown, narratives in the Johnson premiership. One is how he shapes a post-Brexit identity for Britain and changes our country.
A mission not dissimilar to that of his predecessor Theresa May who promised in 2016 to build"a country that works for everyone" in the wake of the referendum result.That gives Mr Johnson real power to re-shape the nation as it leads it through it most momentous transition since the Second World War.But it's equally true that successive governments which have tried to close the gap have struggled to deliver.
On Saturday morning, the clock begins ticking on a new deadline, the end of the agreed transition period on 31 December.
