SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Prime Minister: "This morning I went to Buckingham Palace and I am forming a new government. And on Monday MPs will arrive at Westminster to form a new parliament. And I'm proud to say that members of our new One Nation government and people's government will set out from constituencies that have never returned a Conservative MP for 100 years. And yes, they will have an overwhelming mandate from this election to get Brexit done, and we will honour that mandate by January 31st. And so in this moment of national resolution, I want to speak directly to those who made it possible and to all those who voted for us for the first time and those whose pencils may have wavered over the ballot, who heard the voices of their parents and their grandparents whispering anxiously in their ears, I say thank you for the trust you've placed in us and me. And we will work round the clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a parliament that works for you. I will speak also to those who did not vote for us or for me, and who wanted or perhaps still want to remain in the EU. And I want you to know that we in this One Nation Conservative government will never ignore your good and positive feelings of warmth and sympathy towards the other nations of Europe."

SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Prime Minister: "I frankly urge everyone on either side of what are, after three-and-a-half years after all, an increasingly arid argument, I urge everyone to find closure and to let the healing begin. Because I believe - in fact I may, because I've heard it loud and clear from every corner of the country - that the overwhelming priority of the British people now is that we should focus above all on the NHS."

SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Prime Minister: "We are going to unite and level up, unite and level up. Bringing together the whole of this incredible United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland together, taking us forward, unleashing the potential of the whole country, delivering opportunity across the entire nation. And since I know that after five weeks, frankly, of electioneering, this country deserves a break from wrangling, a break from politics and a permanent break from talking about Brexit. I want everyone to go about their Christmas preparations happy and secure in the knowledge that here in this people's government, the work is now being stepped up to make 2020 a year of prosperity and growth and hope and to deliver a parliament that works for the people."

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was time to "let the healing begin" between those for and against Brexit, in a speech outside London's 10 Downing Street, following his landslide election victory.
"I frankly urge everyone on either side of what are, after three-and-a-half years after all, an increasingly arid argument, I urge everyone to find closure and to let the healing begin," Johnson said.
The UK Prime Minister said his new government had "an overwhelming mandate from this election to get Brexit done, and we will honour that mandate by January 31st."
Johnson told Remain voters that his "One Nation" Conservative government would "never ignore your good and positive feelings of warmth and sympathy towards the other nations of Europe."
"I know that after five weeks, frankly, of electioneering, this country deserves a break from wrangling, a break from politics and a permanent break from talking about Brexit," Johnson continued.
Johnson's Conservatives secured the biggest majority since the 1980s with 364 seats, with one result still to be declared, while the Labour party won 203 seats, down 42 from 2017.
