Brexit battles, Commons crisis and holiday with the Queen – what will Boris Johnson’s first 100 days in office look like?
BORIS Johnson has been dreaming of No10 since he was a child - and he could be just three weeks away from getting there.
The Tory frontrunner is heavy favourite to win the leadership election on July 23 and become Prime Minister the next day.
He will then face possibly the most dramatic start to any premiership in history.
If he beats Jeremy Hunt, Mr Johnson will have exactly 100 days to carry out his promise to deliver Brexit by October 31.
Boris will need to hit the ground running - and fight off threats from Jeremy Corbyn, hardcore Remainers and his own disgruntled MPs.
Here's how his first 100 days could look.
JULY
Boris becomes Conservative leader on Tuesday July 23. The next day Theresa May takes her last session of Prime Minister's Questions, then goes to Buckingham Palace to resign.
Shortly afterwards, Mr Johnson "kisses hands" with the Queen and becomes PM. He is likely to appoint key figures - Chancellor, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary - within hours.
Parliament's last sitting day before the summer recess is Thursday July 25. There's a chance Mr Corbyn will try to force a no-confidence vote that day, but if so he is likely to fail because Tory rebels won't back it at that early stage.
BoJo will spend most of his first week in office appointing the Cabinet, junior ministers and key Downing Street aides.
Tory big hitters such as Mr Hunt, Sajid Javid, Amber Rudd, Matt Hancock and Penny Mordaunt are likely to stay at the top table. Mr Johnson will also bring in pro-Brexit allies who may include Gavin Williamson, Dominic Raab, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Steve Baker. But snubbed MPs could hold a grudge, undermining his leadership in future.
Behind the scenes, the key figure is Sir Edward Lister, who was BoJo's chief of staff when he was Mayor of London and is set to take the same role in No10. Oliver Dowden, a former Cameron aide who's now an MP, is also likely to get a "fixer" position roaming across Government.
Danger to Boris: 3/5
AUGUST
The Tories are likely to face a blow on August 1 with the Brecon & Radnorshire by-election, where the Lib Dems are heavy favourite to win the seat off the Conservatives. But with MPs on holiday, Boris and his team will then spend the month building up their strength for the battle ahead.
The new PM will want to open back-channel talks with Eurocrats and EU leaders, laying the ground for formal talks on getting a better Brexit deal. But BoJo will be left red-faced if they refuse to return to the table during the summer break.
Another priority will be building up the Tory HQ war chest with funds running low after donors deserted the party thanks to Brexit dithering.
And at some point over the summer, Mr Johnson will be expected to visit the Queen at her Balmoral home in northern Scotland. That could throw up a thorny etiquette question - will he take girlfriend Carrie Symonds as his official companion, or go alone?
Danger to Boris: 2/5
SEPTEMBER
The House of Commons will return at the start of September and Team Boris will be keen to build momentum. One aide says: "The essential thing is going to be hitting the ground running, deal or No Deal."
September is the most likely time for a no-confidence challenge in Parliament, with Labour hopeful they can win over a dozen Tories if it looks like Boris is taking Britain towards a No Deal Brexit.
Remainers will be "going ballistic" if talks with Brussels aren't showing progress, Mr Johnson's allies fear.
A successful vote of no confidence in the Commons would trigger a snap General Election, potentially ending BoJo's time in office after just a few weeks.
This month could also bring an emergency Budget, which would prepare Britain for a No Deal and promote Mr Johnson's spending priorities.
He has already promised to slash National Insurance for all workers, ramp up spending on education and the police and plough cash into long-term infrastructure projects.
Even if they don't collapse the new Government, rebel Tories could use the Budget as a way of trying to block No Deal.
Danger to Boris: 4/5
OCTOBER
October opens with the Tory party conference in Manchester, where Mr Johnson will try to rally the faithful and unite them behind his Brexit plan.
His team see the four-day gathering as perhaps the most dangerous moment of all, when his Government could collapse.
A source told The Sun: "This will be the most important conference for any British Prime Minister for quite a long time - it's going to be make or break."
Even if he makes it through the conference unscathed, Mr Johnson will face a race against time ahead of the October 31 Brexit deadline.
Either he will be rushing to sign off a new deal with Brussels, and push it through the Commons or he'll be desperately working to make sure the country is ready to leave without a deal.
Remainers in Parliament will leave no stone unturned in order to stop No Deal, possibly including a vote to cancel Brexit altogether.
And if Mr Johnson breaks his promise to take Britain out by Halloween, he might not last much longer in No10.
But if he does succeed in delivering Brexit at last - and moving on to tackling the country's other issues - Tories will breathe a sigh of relief after three long years of dithering and division.
Danger to Boris: 5/5
