He appointed Simon Hart as Welsh Secretary, then met the 109 new Conservatives MPs, many of whom are drawn from parts of England where the Tories have never before been elected. Expect to hear about Johnson's plan to spend more on the National Health Service, put more policemen on the streets, increase funding for schools, and of course, deliver Brexit.
If he does, the legislation will have its first reading, a formality which involves a vote but doesn't involve a debate, then a second reading, which involves a debate and a vote on Friday.The House of Commons previously backed his bill at its first stage but rejected his bid to fast-track the legislation through parliament in just three days in order to leave by the previous October 31 deadline.
Probably a good idea for investors to move out of stocks for awhile. Could be a messy time.
