Boris Johnson was given the welcome of a conquering hero as he returned to Downing Street today after receiving royal approval for his Brexit Government following his staggering landslide election victory.
The Prime Minister was met with wild applause and cheering from staff after returning from seeing the Queen at Buckingham Palace this morning, hours after he put Jeremy Corbyn and Labour to the sword in a dramatic triumph.
In a night of success that probably surpassed even the Prime Minister's wildest expectations, he shattered the far Left opposition and is on course for a majority of 80 that will allow him to realise his dream of getting the UK out of the EU.
With one result to come in St Ives - which the Conservatives are defending - he is set to rack up a stunning tally of 365 seats in the first December election for nearly a century, to Labour's 203.
Mr Johnson made the short journey from Downing Street to the London landmark shortly before 11am and gave a broad grin as he was ushered inside for his audience.
After around 30 minutes inside he emerged and returned to the heart of government to begin his main task of getting the UK out of the EU by the end of January.
Earlier he had ordered Remainers calling for a second referendum to 'put a sock in it' as he hailed the largest Tory victory in more than 30 years.
After laying waste to Labour's 'red wall' of Leave-backing strongholds, the PM said he had been given a 'powerful' vote of confidence by the British people and would work 'night and day' to repay their trust.
He said the election rout had finally settled the Brexit issue, saying pressing ahead was now the 'irresistible, unquestionable decision of the British people'.
And in a stark message to those who have been pushing for a rerun of the 2016 Brexit contest, he said: 'That's it. Put a sock in the megaphone.'
He joked: 'Let's get Brexit done. But first, let's get breakfast done.'
His bullish speech to activists in Westminster was followed by a victory stroll into Downing Street with girlfriend Carrie Symonds.
The news of Mr Johnson's barnstorming win was reluctantly welcomed in Europe. Brexit co-ordinator Guy Verhofstadt this morning tweeted: 'Brexit will now happen. The British people have confirmed their referendum decision of 2016.
'The EU must now focus on building a new close, fair and lasting partnership with Britain. It is in our common interest.'
