BBC: Boris Johnson wins race to be Tory leader and PM
He beat Jeremy Hunt in a ballot of party members and will enter Downing Street on Wednesday.
Donald Trump is celebrating Johnson’s win saying, “he will be great.” Johnson’s style has been compared to Trump’s.
Thank you all for the incredible honour you have done me. The time for campaigning is over and the time for work begins to unite our country and party, deliver Brexit and defeat Corbyn. I will work flat out to repay your confidence
