Boris Johnson is preparing to enter Number 10 as prime minister for the first time today after his landslide win over Jeremy Hunt in the race for Number 10.

Mr Johnson, who beat his rival by 92,153 votes to 46,656, will take the reins of power after Theresa May leaves Downing Street for the final time to formally tender her resignation to the Queen.

He is also set to name his top team, which is expected to include a recall to cabinet for Priti Patel, an ardent Brexiteer who was forced to resign under Mrs May.

Before meeting with the Queen this afternoon, Mrs May will hold her final PMQs at midday before she addresses staff in Downing Street and makes a statement at around 2pm.

At 3pm, the Queen will hold an audience with new Prime Minister Mr Johnson, who now embarks on the challenge of following through on his pledge to deliver Brexit by October 31.
