Boris Johnson becomes new Prime Minister: ITV News Special: 15.00 - 16.00; ENGLAND: London: Downing Street: Various of Boris Johnson motorcade along through gates Boris Johnson MP (Prime Minister) up to podium Boris Johnson MP (Prime Minister) speech SOT - Good afternoon.

And though the Queen has just honoured me with this extraordinary office of state my job is to serve you, the people. Because if there is one point we politicians need to remember, it is that the people are our bosses. My job is to make your streets safer - a...
