Today,
Boris Johnson was confirmed as the new leader of the Conservative
Party.
Tomorrow, he will formally take over as prime minister and begin
to reveal his new cabinet.
So what can we expect to happen and when?
Wednesday 12:00 BST onwards: Theresa
May will take part in her last Prime Minister's Questions. After lunch
she will make a short farewell speech outside No 10 before travelling to
see the Queen to tender her resignation.
Mrs
May will leave Buckingham Palace in a different vehicle to the one she
arrived in - she will no longer be allowed to travel in the PM's
official car.
Mr
Johnson will then arrive for an audience at the palace where he will be
invited to form a government - this process is known formally as
"kissing hands", though former PM John Major said in his autobiography:
“The phrase is
traditional and outdated - the Queen’s hand is not kissed.”
Mr Johnson will then leave in the PM's official car - an armoured Jaguar.
After
that he will make a speech outside Downing Street before being clapped
in to the building, where he will meet his new staff.
He will then receive briefings from the National Security Adviser and heads of intelligence
agencies.
Later,
he will begin announcing his most senior cabinet appointments, such as
chancellor, home secretary and foreign secretary, and will make and take
his first calls from other world leaders.
Thursday: Mr
Johnson is expected to make a statement to Parliament about his Brexit
strategy and take questions from MPs. Parliament will break up for its
summer recess later.
The new PM will continue announcing his new cabinet.
