The former foreign secretary was voted in by an overwhelming majority of Conservative Party members, beating Jeremy Hunt on a promise to leave the European Union, with or without a deal, by October 31.

He will take over as prime minister tomorrow after Theresa May’s final PMQs in the House of Commons.

Mrs May will then head to Buckingham Palace to formally resign and recommend Johnson as her successor.

The outgoing prime minister sparked a Tory leadership election in May when she announced her resignation after repeatedly failing to deliver a Brexit deal through Parliament.
