The PM is expected to focus on a “change of direction” and “levelling up” of his party’s outlook, under their slogan - “build back better”.
In a statement on Sunday, Mr Johnson said: “Build back better means we want things to change and improve as we recover.
He spoke of the tackling the country’s long term challenges and people’s priories, such as “on social care, on supporting jobs, on climate change, tackling crime and levelling up.”
He added that Tory ministers are “getting on with the job, with a strong and united team - making the tough decisions, focused on what really matters to people.”
The PM is also expected to address the current fuel crisis, shortages of HGV drivers and the potential of empty shop shelves.
Mr Johnson’s speech coincides with the cut of Universal Credit today by £20 a week, and comes in the weeks following a significant cabinet reshuffle.
