Boris Johnson news LIVE: New Tory leader vows to 'unite the country' as he is named next Prime Minister

Boris Johnson has been named as the new leader of the Tory party.

The former foreign secretary, the clear favourite throughout the leadership race, beat rival Jeremy Hunt to be announced as Theresa May's successor.

Mr Johnson received 92,153 votes while Mr Hunt received 46,656. He will become Prime Minister tomorrow, after Mrs May officially hands in her resignation.

The victory could spell a round of Government resignations, including from Chancellor Philip Hammond and Justice Secretary David Gauke.

Sir Alan Duncan quit as Foreign Office minister on Monday in protest at Mr Johnson's expected victory, while Education Secretary Anne Milton resigned earlier today.
