BORIS JOHNSON BECOMES UK PM

Boris Johnson will become the UK's new Prime Minister later (on Wednesday).

Mrs May will visit the Queen to resign, and Mr Johnson will then be asked to form a government.

He says he can deliver Brexit by October 31st and unite the country.

The new Prime Minister will start naming cabinet members after winning the Conservative Party's contest to replace Theresa May as leader.

Political reporter Theo Usherwood says the role of Chancellor will be a key appointment.
