Boris Johnson outside Number 10

“Reset” is the word of the moment. The prime minister is planning a slate of announcements which, in their green commitment and pledge to “level up” the country, go a long way to retrieve the ambition of the manifesto that won him an 80-seat majority less than a year ago. With Brexit talks reaching a climax (even if its nature is still uncertain), a new president in the US and announcements on vaccines heralding the beginning of the end of the devastation caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Boris Johnson has the help of external events to consolidate that sense of change.

This paper sets out how to make the period After Dominic more successful than the last 10 months.
