And it is very likely that Liz Truss wins the job, facing the former finance minister, Rishi Sunak.

After the announcement, Boris Johnson will remain Prime Minister for 24 hours. Only tomorrow will he leave Downing Street for good. He will travel to Balmoral Castle, Scotland, where the Queen is, to tender her resignation. The Sovereign will then name her successor. The new head of government will finally enter 10 Downing Street on Tuesday, late afternoon.
