Prime Minister Boris Johnson has given a farewell speech outside 10 Downing Street ahead of resigning in Balmoral later this morning. Mr Johnson started his speech by saying 'this is it folks' before saying his premiership had unexpectedly become a relay race when the 'rules changed halfway through'.
He went on to set out his recent victories - including getting Brexit done, rolling out the Covid vaccine, supporting Ukraine and helping people through the cost of living crisis.
He said: “This is it folks. Thank you everybody for coming out so early this morning. In only a couple of hours I will be in Balmoral to see Her Majesty the Queen and the torch will finally be passed to a new Conservative leader.
