Rishi Sunak will official become Prime Minister tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, Downing Street has said. Although he was the sole nominee this afternoon, there is protocol which means his predecessor must visit the King.
After Liz Truss has chaired her final Cabinet meeting in the morning and then visited the King at Buckingham Palace, it will be official. Mr Sunak, 42, is set to be the youngest prime minister the country has ever had.
Downing Street said Ms Truss will chair her final Cabinet at 9am and will make a statement outside No 10 at 10.15am. She will then go to Buckingham Palace to offer her resignation to the King.
