Rishi Sunak will be the UK’s next prime minister 

The next prime minister, Rishi Sunak, is greeting fellow Tory MPs at Conservative Party headquarters.

There are handshakes and hugs and he’s waving to the cameras.

“Thank you guys,” he says, as he gives a thumbs up and walks into the building.

Sunak: UK’s youngest prime minister since 1812

At 42, Rishi Sunak will be:

• The UK’s first British Asian prime minister
• The country’s 57th prime minister (by the standard count)
• The UK’s youngest PM since Lord Liverpool came to office in 1812
• The fastest from being first elected as an MP to becoming PM in modern times, taking just seven years

Assuming the handover happens tomorrow, Liz Truss will have been prime minister for seven weeks, or 49 days.
