Boris Johnson plans bold new laws to ban train strikes, toughen up jail sentences and win over ‘generation rent’

BORIS Johnson will introduce bold new laws to ban rail strikes, toughen up jail sentences and win over 'generation rent' this week.

Fresh from his election win, the PM will put the NHS, immigration and help for Brits living in North of England at the heart of his radical shake-up of Government.

Today he will get to work today on delivering for the millions of voters who came out to back him , welcoming 109 new Tory MPs to Westminster after picking up dozens of seats in the election.

Boris is set to use a £100billion infrastructure fund to reward voters in the Midlands and North who voted Tory for the first time last week - pumping in cash to neglected areas.

Millions of his voters formerly backed Labour, and the PM is keen to show them he will deliver for them in office.

He will also focus on delivering his Australian-style points immigration system and toughening up our borders - and make sure it's ready for after we leave the EU.

Following the London Bridge terror attack which took place in the middle of the campaign, Boris will soon introduce new laws to make sure convicted terrorists stay behind bars for longer.

The PM will keep them locked up for at least 14 years - or two thirds of their sentences, he's promised.

The NHS will also be a key priority for the PM, enshrining in law dedicated funding promises.

On Thursday the PM will reveal his Queen's Speech, including a new bill which will deliver an extra £34billion of funding for the health service.

Boris has vowed to make sure that every Government in future puts in enough money for it.

He's also promised to build new hospitals and repair existing ones desperately in need of funding.

A Downing Street source said: “The seismic events on Thursday returned Conservative MPs in Bolsover, in Blyth and in Bishop Auckland to name but a few.

"This election and the new generation of MPs that have resulted from Labour towns turning blue will help change our politics for the better.

"The PM has been very clear that we have a responsibility to deliver a better future for our country and that we must repay the public’s trust by getting Brexit done.

"Our job is to serve the people of this country, and the “People’s Government” will deliver on the people’s priorities."

He's expected to start carrying out a mini-reshuffle later today to fill posts left by the departure of Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan, who stepped down as an MP, and ex-Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns who resigned at the start of the election.

Environment Minister Zac Goldsmith who lost his seat, will also need a replacement.

He's said to be planning a more significant reshuffle next year, as well as a huge overhaul of Whitehall.

A Tory source said the first six months of the new government are crucial.

They said: "The first six to 12 months are key. People have got real expectations of change and we have got to show we are delivering it.

"People need to feel this first term has worked for them, they need to be able to point to things locally that have changed, they need to feel that their lives have got better – otherwise they will not vote for us again.

"That is not easy and we need to refocus the whole of government to do it."

Yesterday Michael Gove said Britain would be out of the EU next year - and ruled out any extension to the transition period.

Legislation to formally deliver Brexit will come back before Christmas.
