May to hand Downing Street over to Johnson
By EUobserver
Theresa May will leave office as UK prime minister with a farewell speech Wednesday, following Boris Johnson's victory in the Conservative Party leadership campaign. Johnson will have an audience with the Queen, who will invite him to form a government. Johnson is expected to give a speech at around 5PM Brussels time, and announce his cabinet members. Johnson has promised to "deliver Brexit" by 31 October.
