It was a job he 'd always wanted , the one for which he was aiming when he wondered which Brexit horse to back , and when he quit Theresa May 's cabinet a year earlier just as she was within a whisker of getting it done .
He stood in Downing Street and said : `` The doubters , the doomsters , the gloomsters – they are going to get it wrong again .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to lose their shirts , because we are going to restore trust in our democracy , and we are going to fulfil the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the EU on October 31 , no ifs or buts . ''
And then we did n't .
He went on : `` And we will do a new deal , a better deal that will maximise the opportunities of Brexit while allowing us to develop a new and exciting partnership with the rest of Europe . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a deal .
`` I have every confidence that in 99 days ’ time we will have cracked it , '' he boasted .
It 's been 367 days so far .
He went on : `` The British people have had enough of waiting .
The time has come to act , to take decisions , to give strong leadership and to change this country for the better . ''
You guessed it .
Still waiting for any of that to turn up .
He told us : `` We are going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the streets . ''
There are 3,000 so far , and we were 21,000 short to begin with .
`` My job is to make sure you don ’ t have to wait 3 weeks to see your GP , '' he said .
At the time he was speaking , 68 % of appointments were within 7 days of being booked .
In May this year , in the middle of the pandemic , the figure was 89 % - because almost half of all appointments were online .
`` My job @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parents or grandparents , from the fear of having to sell your home to pay for the costs of care .
And so I am announcing now – on the steps of Downing Street – that we will fix the crisis in social care once and for all . ''
He did n't protect anyone from the cost of care , nor from a lack of PPE , an overuse of agency staff , and complete lack of coherent government guidance .
It led to almost 30,000 excess deaths in care homes so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to Covid-19 .
`` My job is to make sure your kids get a superb education , wherever they are in the country , '' he bragged , and 7 months later he shut the schools .
Oh , and they 're still funded worse than they were a decade ago .
`` That is the work that begins immediately behind that black door , '' he said , as work began behind that door to close Parliament , politicise the civil service , and kick 21 of his own MPs out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today building a great team of men and women , '' he said , which with hindsight does not claim any of the people involved are great at anything , so might be the most accurate thing he said .
`` I will take personal responsibility , '' he said , except for late lockdown , PPE , Dominic Cummings , care home deaths , looking into Russian meddling , any consistent stance on Huawei , our 'world-beating ' test and trace system that has failed to test and trace millions , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He went on : `` And I will tell you something else about my job .
It is to be Prime Minister of the whole United Kingdom , and that means uniting our country . ''
Under his premiership , Northern Ireland has been gifted to the IRA and Scottish independence has gained majority support .
He said he would be `` answering at last the plea of the forgotten people and the left-behind towns '' , among which coronavirus has claimed more victims than anywhere else .
He promised to `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wages , and a higher living wage , and higher productivity '' , and now we 're looking at 4m unemployed , a 1970s-style 4-day week , and the worst recession for 300 years .
He said the UK was admired worldwide `` for our inventiveness '' , only he meant with government statistics , `` for our humour '' , presumably for electing him in the first place , `` for our universities '' , that are obessed with statues , `` our scientists '' , aside from the ones who are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our armed forces '' , who are training to deal with Brexit , a second spike of covid , winter floods and flu because the government ca n't handle any of it , and `` our diplomacy '' , which means Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is still in Iran and Ann Sacoolas is still in the USA .

The country he was expecting to rule changed with coronavirus .
But in the 6 months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shores , Johnson did not just fail to start work on his promises .
He took his promises out the back , wiped his arse on them , buried them in a hole , urinated in it , then set Dominic Cummings on anyone who mentioned they once existed .

Still , at least his friends can bet against Britain on the international markets .
So there 's that .

He 's been worse than anyone could have possibly imagined .

After Boris Johnson's first year in office, it's clear the doomsters and gloomsters got it wrong
On July 24, 2019, after 18 years of political blundering, lies, and scandal, Boris Johnson finally became Prime Minister.
It was a job he'd always wanted, the one for which he was aiming when he wondered which Brexit horse to back, and when he quit Theresa May's cabinet a year earlier just as she was within a whisker of getting it done.
He stood in Downing Street and said: "The doubters, the doomsters, the gloomsters – they are going to get it wrong again. The people who bet against Britain are going to lose their shirts, because we are going to restore trust in our democracy, and we are going to fulfil the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the EU on October 31, no ifs or buts."
And then we didn't.

He went on: "And we will do a new deal, a better deal that will maximise the opportunities of Brexit while allowing us to develop a new and exciting partnership with the rest of Europe."
We do not have any sort of a deal.
"I have every confidence that in 99 days’ time we will have cracked it," he boasted.
It's been 367 days so far.
He went on: "The British people have had enough of waiting. The time has come to act, to take decisions, to give strong leadership and to change this country for the better."
You guessed it. Still waiting for any of that to turn up.

He told us: "We are going to begin with another 20,000 police on the streets."
There are 3,000 so far, and we were 21,000 short to begin with.
"My job is to make sure you don’t have to wait 3 weeks to see your GP," he said.
At the time he was speaking, 68% of appointments were within 7 days of being booked. In May this year, in the middle of the pandemic, the figure was 89% - because almost half of all appointments were online.
"My job is to protect you, or your parents or grandparents, from the fear of having to sell your home to pay for the costs of care. And so I am announcing now – on the steps of Downing Street – that we will fix the crisis in social care once and for all."
He didn't protect anyone from the cost of care, nor from a lack of PPE, an overuse of agency staff, and complete lack of coherent government guidance. It led to almost 30,000 excess deaths in care homes so far this year, two-thirds of them due to Covid-19.
"My job is to make sure your kids get a superb education, wherever they are in the country," he bragged, and 7 months later he shut the schools.
Oh, and they're still funded worse than they were a decade ago.

"That is the work that begins immediately behind that black door," he said, as work began behind that door to close Parliament, politicise the civil service, and kick 21 of his own MPs out of the party.
"I am today building a great team of men and women," he said, which with hindsight does not claim any of the people involved are great at anything, so might be the most accurate thing he said.
"I will take personal responsibility," he said, except for late lockdown, PPE, Dominic Cummings, care home deaths, looking into Russian meddling, any consistent stance on Huawei, our 'world-beating' test and trace system that has failed to test and trace millions, and at least one of his own children.
He went on: "And I will tell you something else about my job. It is to be Prime Minister of the whole United Kingdom, and that means uniting our country."
Under his premiership, Northern Ireland has been gifted to the IRA and Scottish independence has gained majority support.
He said he would be "answering at last the plea of the forgotten people and the left-behind towns", among which coronavirus has claimed more victims than anywhere else. He promised to "level up across Britain, with higher wages, and a higher living wage, and higher productivity", and now we're looking at 4m unemployed, a 1970s-style 4-day week, and the worst recession for 300 years.
He said the UK was admired worldwide "for our inventiveness", only he meant with government statistics, "for our humour", presumably for electing him in the first place, "for our universities", that are obessed with statues, "our scientists", aside from the ones who are now banned from Downing Street, "our armed forces", who are training to deal with Brexit, a second spike of covid, winter floods and flu because the government can't handle any of it, and "our diplomacy", which means Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is still in Iran and Ann Sacoolas is still in the USA.

He wound up by saying the UK flag "stands for freedom and free speech and habeas corpus and the rule of law", and just 8 weeks later the Supreme Court ruled him unlawful.
"Above all it stands for democracy," he said. "In the end Brexit was a fundamental decision by the British people that they wanted their laws made by people that they can elect and they can remove from office."
We now face the prospect of our borders, tariffs and economy being subject to the rules of the World Trade Organisation, for which we cannot vote or whose people we can in any way fire.
The country he was expecting to rule changed with coronavirus. But in the 6 months he had before it arrived on our shores, Johnson did not just fail to start work on his promises. He took his promises out the back, wiped his arse on them, buried them in a hole, urinated in it, then set Dominic Cummings on anyone who mentioned they once existed.
Image: PA) PA)
Then the pandemic began, and he found promises do not save lives. He has yet to work out than £10 discounts on pizza don't do it, either, but he has probably noticed, as we have, that in 12 months of polling his only moment of clear popularity came when he nearly died.
If only there had been some clue, like 18 years of political blundering, lies and scandal, that could have indicated he was a deceitful clown who should not be given the keys to a garden shed, never mind the highest office in the land.
And if only he'd backed Remain. Had he hit send on that newspaper column, he'd now have fewer crises, more money, an opportunity to lead mass reform of the EU, access to continental funds, and almost 30,000 spare civil servants who could be used to tackle corona.
Still, at least his friends can bet against Britain on the international markets. So there's that.
As to the doubters, the doomsters and gloomsters, they did get it wrong. He's been worse than anyone could have possibly imagined.

"Y'know: 'Put your eyes on, don't go to the market without'. I was like: 'I'm 13, do I have to put my eyes on? Aren't they there?'"
But it was in 1999, not long before Jen's marriage to Brad Pitt that her mother drove a wedge between her and her daughter that would take years to heal.

Jen was so distraught she didn't invite her mother wedding with Brad and the pair didn't speak for several years.
When Jennifer's mother passes away in May, 2018, her daughter had visited her weeks earlier - the first time in almost five years.
However, the actress has said she doesn't blame her mother for her behaviour.
In an interview earlier this year, Jen explained: "My mum was consumed and concerned with her physical appearance.
"Her parents were basically non-existent and she was one of five sisters - she had this beauty so that's how she was able to go out and make a living, with modelling.
"It wasn't her fault, it's just the things she would teach me. I didn't have what she had necessarily, and it didn't instil a lot of security about how I felt about my physical appearance."
