The government’s agenda for the year was laid out in the Queen’s Speech, delivered in the House of Lords by Queen Elizabeth II at the state opening of Parliament. It then moves to debate and eventual symbolic vote in the House of Commons.

“We have no time to waste and we begin immediately with the most radical Queen’s Speech in a generation to deliver on the priorities of the British people,” Johnson said in the foreword to the speech.

It comes a week after Johnson’s Conservative Party stormed to an 80-seat House of Commons majority in a general election that exceeded Tory expectations and gives the prime minister a clear mandate to get his agenda through Parliament.

The top priority was Britain’s departure from the European Union, having run on the slogan “Get Brexit Done.” The government intends to pass Johnson’s withdrawal bill — negotiated with the E.U. — before the end of January, and announced Thursday that the new version of the bill means that a post-Brexit transition period must end by the end of 2020.

On the question of immigration, which shadowed the Brexit issue, the Johnson government intends to introduce an Australian-style points system that it says will prioritize high-skilled immigrants who speak English and who don’t have criminal records.

It will also introduce a fast-track visa system to encourage doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to come to the U.K., as part of an effort to combat a staff shortage in the country’s struggling National Health Service.

The House of Commons consented the legislation by a wide margin of 438 votes to 20. Making the first December election since 1923 possible.

However, the bill yet to be approved by the Lords could become law before the week runs out.

There will be a five-week campaign up to polling day if that goes into effect.

The PM, Boris Johnson believes that the citizens of Britain must be “given a choice” over Brexit’s future and the country as a whole.

The Brexit deal and Parliamentary deadlock have been the cause of the UK’s exit being further extended to 31^st January. Nonetheless, Boris Johnson hopes that the election will give him a fresh mandate.

“It is time to come together to get Brexit done,” The PM said as he exited a meeting of the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservatives held shortly after the vote.
