In a sensational twist in the race for Downing Street, Mrs May seized the Tory crown after her only rival Andrea Leadsom quit before ballots were sent out to party members amid claims she was naive and too inexperienced for No 10.

On another dramatic day, David Cameron appeared in Downing Street this afternoon as the swansong to his premiership was brutally cut short by nine weeks. He paid tribute to his successor as 'strong, competent and more than able to provide the leadership Britain needs'... Mrs May added: 'Brexit means Brexit and we are going to make a success of it.'

...

The outgoing Prime Minister, who announced he would quit after losing the EU referendum less than three weeks ago, was at the Farnborough Air Show in Hampshire when the Tory contest reached an abrupt end and his early departure means he will miss a final outing on the world stage at the G20 in China.
