Liz Truss has been appointed Prime Minister and will now form a new government following an audience with the Queen at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Ms Truss will now fly back to London and will deliver her first speech as premier in Downing Street at approximately 4pm.
The new PM will then turn her focus to appointing her first Cabinet, with Therese Coffey due to be made Deputy Prime Minister and Health Secretary, putting her at the centre of power in the new administration.
Ms Coffey, the current Work and Pensions Secretary, is little known to the wider public but is one of Ms Truss’s closest friends in politics.
The appointment of Ms Truss as PM came after the Queen had earlier accepted Boris Johnson's formal resignation.
