BORIS Johnson has been announced as the new Prime Minister after winning the Tory leadership content.
Johnson won double the amount of votes, with 92,153 votes versus Jeremy Hunt’s 46,656.
He will officially become Prime Minister tomorrow.
Theresa May was bought a £1,500 designer handbag as a leaving present after Tory cabinet members had a whip-around organised by Michael Gove, Times reporter Steven Swinford tweeted.
Leaving Number 10, Rory Stewart said of Mrs May: "She was very, very dignified."
Earlier, sources close to Johnson reportedly said he will want to immediately demote leadership rival Jeremy Hunt, the current foreign secretary, in a cabinet reshuffle.
It will not be smooth sailing for Johnson, with the Brexit situation described as a “sticky wicket” by a political scientist.
Politics professor John Curtice from Strathclyde University said no PM has inherited a party as low in the polls before.
"They are inheriting what at the moment at least is a very sticky, very volatile wicket,” he added.
Education minister Anne Milton has already resigned over Brexit, saying that she has “grave concerns about leaving the EU without a deal”.
