Boris Johnson has departed No 10 vowing the government will bail out struggling families from rising energy bills in his final speech, as well as sending a final broadside about his resignation as prime minister.
He said the “baton will be handed over,” saying his premiership had “unexpectedly turned out to be a relay race – they changed the rules halfway through.”
In a message to Conservative MPs, Johnson said it was “time for politics to be over” and said it was time to back Liz Truss and deliver for the country. “That is what the people of this country want, that’s what they need and that’s what they deserve.
