It is the slogan that carried Boris Johnson to election victory, but now with a landslide majority at his back the work really starts to “Get Brexit Done”.

Returned to Downing Street, Mr Johnson is faced with the task of turning that pithy campaign phrase into hard reality, making good on his promise to move the country forward and break Britain out of the political limbo of the last three years.

To do this, Mr Johnson must make a series of choices and trade-offs between now and the nominal end of the Brexit transition period in December 2020 that will determine how fast the UK leaves the EU and how far away from the EU’s orbit the country ends up.

Here we chart the road that lies ahead and the possible pitfalls and cul-de-sacs down which the coming negotiations may go.

Step 1: Passing the Withdrawal Agreement

The first job will be to pass the 110-page Withdrawal Agreement Bill through Parliament which ran into the political sands last October, triggering the General Election. This is a necessary step in order so the UK can ratify the international treaty confirming the UK’s divorce from the EU.

The deadline to complete this process is January 31, when the current extension to the Article 50 negotiation expires. Mr Johnson is understood to want to get cracking with this, aiming to complete the Bill’s second reading before Christmas.
