The former foreign secretary and London mayor will take over from Theresa May on Wednesday. Johnson has said he will do 'whatever it takes' to get the UK out of the EU by 31 October. We get analysis and reaction from Stephen Pope, Forbes columnist and finance professor at University of Maryland University College. The US government announces it will investigate whether the big tech firms are unfairly restricting competition.
