BORIS JOHNSON WELCOMES NEW MPS TO LONDON

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is welcoming new Conservative MPs to Westminster after his landslide election win.

Mr Johnson will carry out a small cabinet reshuffle and bring legislation to the House of Commons later in the week to move forward with his Brexit deal.

Meanwhile, the opposition Labour Party has to choose a new leader after its resounding defeat last week.

Many in the party feel the next leader can't be a London MP, or someone who fought to overturn Brexit.
