Boris Johnson wants to track Brexit before Christmas and force this Friday the first vote in Parliament of his agreement with Brussels, with the expected support of its 365 deputies. The law must then go through the House of Lords, but Johnson aspires to take advantage of his symbolic retaliation in the House of Commons, after three years of struggle, to achieve the necessary momentum and culminate the exit of the EU on January 31 .

The 'premier' has received on Monday in Downingn Street to the hundred new deputies 'tories', to which he has thanked his efforts to snatch the historical strongholds in the industrial north of England and Wales. "We have the responsibility for a better future for our country and to return the trust placed in us culminating Brexit," said the conservative leader.

Johnson will premiere on Tuesday before the new Parliament in a clearly favorable climate, after achieving the most overwhelming majority for conservatives since the Thatcher era. Gone is also the awkward presence of John Bercow, relieved as president of the House of Commons by Labor Lindsay Hoyle.

The first struggle with the new 'speaker' will come precisely on account of the law of Brexit. Johnson must prove that the text he intends to vote on Friday is different from what was already voted in October. The 'premier' also aspires to the first and second 'reading' of the text occur by the fast track on the same day, and to be voted on the same Friday (although the final processing will be in January).

During his campaign, Johnson promised the British the Brexit law as a "Christmas gift." He also anticipated his goal of "neutralizing" Jeremy Corbyn by that time, although the Labor leader will continue to work temporarily as leader of the opposition, amid the open war within the party for his succession.

Another peak of the week will come on Thursday, with the Queen's second Address in two months. Isabel II will dress again with her best clothes to read the Boris Johnson government program, including plans to allocate 40,000 million euros to the National Health Service in the next five years, the hiring of 20,000 new police officers and the hardening of sentences for serious crimes and investment in infrastructure in the north of the country.

The 'premier' will however have to rectify in his promise of a new tax cut during the campaign, in light of the report of the Office of Budget Responsibility (ORB) that has given the alarm for the slowdown of the economy British and the need to use loans of 25,000 million euros per year until 2024 to cover public spending.

Johnson has returned to work on Monday and has finally given consent for the publication of the 50-page parliamentary report on Russia's interference in British politics that was censored before the elections. The 'premier' has made small changes in his Government, pending the remodeling he will carry out in January.

The 'premier' has decided to abolish the Department for Brexit and the Department for International Development. Johnson has decided to cover the casualties of the Secretary of the Environment (Zac Goldsmith lost his seat in Richmond), Secretary of Culture (Nicky Morgan decided not to appear) and the Secretary of State for Wales (Alun Cairns resigned at the start of the campaign).

The prime minister also prepares a promotion for his former partner Michael Gove, the same who stabbed him in the back three and a half years ago, who has been a 'curtainer' these weeks in a 'remake' of the Vote Leave campaign, using the same strategy: a simple and hypnotic motto ("Get Brexit Done") and an offensive of 'microtargeting' in Labor Bastions using social networks.

Gove will foreseeably become the 'supernegotiator' of the UK trade agreements in the new era of Brexit. During the campaign, Gove himself stressed that the future treaty with the European Union could be ready by the end of 2020, coinciding with the end of the transition period. The negotiation of the "massive agreement" between London and Washington that Donald Trump promised in his congratulatory message to Johnson will also pass through his hands.

Dominic Cummings, the aulic adviser of Boris Johnson and architect of his electoral success (together with the Australian guru Isaac Levido) will devote himself in the coming months to his particular obsession: to conduct an internal audit of the Ministry of Defense and other departments to maximize the use of public funds and pursue corruption.

As a counterpoint to the triumphant day of the 'premier', the 47 new deputies of the Scottish National Party (SNP) have warmed engines ahead of Tuesday's parliamentary premiere. "We have come here with a clear platform of rejection of Brexit and a new opportunity for the people of Scotland to speak out about their future," proclaimed SNP spokesman in Westminster, Ian Blackford.

This same week, Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon will begin her offensive to claim a second referendum, with a vote scheduled Thursday at the Scottish Parliament of Holyrood. "Scotland will not be imprisoned in the United Kingdom against its will," he told BBC Sturgeon, willing to arrive if necessary to the courts to hold a new sovereign consultation in 2020 if Boris Johnson and his absolute majority in Westminster will prevent.
