Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said that the world has "moved on" from Boris Johnson, following the former Prime Minister's resignation last week.
In an interview with the BBC, Shapps said that the government is "focused on the job in hand" and that the public "want us to get on with it".
"I think the world has moved on from Boris Johnson," he said. "We've got a new Prime Minister now, and we need to get on with the job in hand."
Shapps' comments come as the government faces a number of challenges, including the cost of living crisis and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has said that he is committed to "levelling up" the country and "making the UK a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous nation".
However, some commentators have warned that the government faces an uphill battle in rebuilding public trust.
A recent poll found that only 23% of Britons believe that the government is "competent".
Despite these challenges, Shapps has said that he is confident that the government can "deliver for the British people".
"We've got a good team in place, and we're determined to get on with the job," he said.
What does this mean for the UK?
It is still too early to say what the long-term implications of Boris Johnson's resignation will be for the UK. However, it is clear that the government faces a number of challenges, both domestically and internationally.
The cost of living crisis is a major concern for many Britons, and the government will need to find ways to help people cope with rising prices. The war in Ukraine is also having a significant impact on the UK economy, and the government will need to work to mitigate the effects of the war.
In addition, the government will need to rebuild public trust. The recent poll findings suggest that the government has a long way to go in this regard.
What can we expect from the new Prime Minister?
Rishi Sunak has said that he is committed to "levelling up" the country and "making the UK a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous nation".
It is not yet clear how Sunak will achieve these goals. However, he has said that he will focus on investing in infrastructure, education, and skills. He has also said that he will reform the welfare system and make it easier for businesses to start and grow.
Sunak faces a number of challenges, but he has the opportunity to make a real difference to the UK. He will need to work hard to rebuild public trust and deliver on his promises.
