Hello, I'm Karen Chin only, welcome to a special edition of outside | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
source. Just one story today - | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Theresa May becomes Britain's We will make Britain a country that | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
works not for a privileged few but for everyone of us. That will be the | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
mission of the Government I lead, and together we will build a better | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Britain. Theresa May was officially appointed | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. She's already appointed some key | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
posts in her Cabinet - the most eye-catching so far | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
is that the former Mayor of London Boris Johnson | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
as Foreign Minister. Earlier David Cameron | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
made his resignation speech with his wife | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
and children beside him. He made a passionate defence | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
of his time in office. As we leave for the last time, my | :00:54. | :01:09. | |
only wish is continued success for this great country that I love so | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
very much. Thank you. We'll also get international | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
reaction to today's events, including from Europe | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
where they'll be eager to know Use the hashtag #BBCOS | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
to get in touch. Let's go straight to my colleague | :01:20. | :01:41. | |
Matthew Amroliwala in Westminster. Good evening from Westminster | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
where tonight, not far from here, Theresa May is having a busy first | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
evening as Prime Minister. She visited the Queen | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
at Buckingham Palace where she was formally | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
made Prime Minister. Then she travelled to Downing Street | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
in the prime ministerial car, Soon after that she began | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
making her first We have had the names through the | :02:03. | :02:16. | |
course of the last few hours. The first news to emerge was that George | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Osborne has left the Government and his post of Chancellor of the | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Exchequer, which he had held for six years. He has been replaced by | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Philip Hammond, a close personal friend of Theresa May and who had | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
been Foreign Secretary. The major surprises that Boris Johnson is | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
taking over the crucial and sensitive role of Foreign Secretary | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
in his first major role in Government. Amber Rudd, who | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
campaigned to remain in the EU, has been appointed as Home Secretary. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
One of the Government departments which will not have a new head as | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
part of the shake-up is Michael Fallon, who retains his position as | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Defence Secretary. David Davis, who was Europe minister | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
in the 1990s, has been appointed Secretary of State for leaving the | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
EU, a crucial name. Let's get more on that | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
with Rob Watson. He is our UK political | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
correspondent. Boris Johnson, first of all, the headline grabbing name. | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
He is trying to get the balance between Leaders and Remainers in the | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
Cabinet, and bringing women along. Let's get to Boris Johnson, the | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
blonde bombshell of the Brexit campaign. What his appointment | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
suggests is not that he is particularly close to Theresa May, | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
it has happened because she knows that he is very popular amongst | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Conservative Party activist and in some ways this is what to keep him | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
out of the way, keep him out of the country and do what he is good at, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
being a salesman. If nothing less, what we learned from the Brexit | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
campaign is, boy, can Boris sell something. His job will be to sell | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
Britain in the post-Brexit world. The crucial name, we spent a lot of | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
time waiting for the name to emerge, David Davis, the man to lead the | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
team to head the negotiations on Brexit. Not a household name in this | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
country or internationally, he was lasting Government 20 years ago, I | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
think somebody said Take That were making it big for the first time! He | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
is a seasoned politician, a seasoned Eurosceptic and it shows that | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Theresa May understands that she cannot start her new Government on a | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
war footing with those on the Leave side of the party, she is putting | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Cindy Merhi she thinks will be steady and basically clear up the | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
mess that she believes the Leave campaigners have made. -- putting | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
somebody in there who she believes. Many people thought that Philip | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Hammond and George Osborne would swap jobs. Nothing of it, George | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Osborne leaving Government. I'm not surprised, I am not trying to do and | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
I told you so but I think it is important to remember that David | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Cameron and George Osborne were very much a package, 18, buy one and you | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
get the other one. -- a package, a team. I don't think Theresa May will | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
lead a very different Government, she has a lot in common with him, | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
but she wanted to look and feel different, that is why she has | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
talked of the idea of a new Government for the many, not the | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
privileged few. I don't think it is a big ideological divide but I don't | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
think you can start out sending out that kind of message, trying to stop | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
the Conservatives being seen as the party of the rich and powerful with | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
one of the key members of Cameron's team in place. Take me to the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
thinking on Philip Hammond and Amber Rudd? I think the thinking on Philip | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Hammond is a very safe pair of hands, a bit like herself, she would | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
wanted to be seen that way, steadiness at the heart of | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Government. I do not expect a huge departure from the mild austerity | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
programme of the last Government. Amber Rudd, we heard that she would | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
want to be promoting women into senior roles, competent women, I | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
think this is the first example. We will have more announcements and | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
more junior positions in the hours and days ahead. Thank you for taking | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
me through all these changes in the last few hours. It has been an | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
historic day, from David Cameron's Lasse Prime Minister's Questions to | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
his departure from Downing Street and finally Theresa May arriving as | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
the new Prime Minister of Britain. Our political editor has been there | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
for every twist and turn. Here is Laura Kuenssberg. | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
Always a politician ready with a line. | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
But with his family beside him, in front of the cameras | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
like this for the first time, there was just the power of goodbye. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
and of course we've not got every decision right. | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
But I do believe that today our country is much stronger. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Above all, it was about turning around the economy, | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
and with a deficit cut by two thirds, two and half | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
in work and one million more businesses, there can be | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
no doubt our economy is immeasurably stronger. | :07:13. | :07:25. | |
The formal part of his farewell, something he promised when he | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
promised a vote on EU. A last word from the Queen. Who knows what she | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
gave? But before the regal sign-off, | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
there had been time even after all the rancour, | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
from the beating heart ..it was Prime Minister's | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
comedy stand-up, rather Mr Speaker, this morning | :07:46. | :07:57. | |
I had meetings with ministerial Other than one meeting this | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
afternoon with Her Majesty the Queen, the diary for the rest | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
of my day is remarkably light. Then the last of David Cameron | :08:07. | :08:24. | |
at the despatch box. And that, in the end - | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
the public service, Nothing is really impossible | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
if you put your mind to it. After all, I once said, | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
I was the future once! His job was to leave goodbye, | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
gathering the family, leaving their way of life. Samantha Cameron | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
alongside the parting Prime Minister with the three children all part of | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
the grandest leaving to in time. Almost as speedily as the motorcycle | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
outriders, the new Prime Minister swept into her job. Not elected by | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
her party, not elected you or me, that the last few weeks have | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
propelled Theresa May far quicker than she had ever expected to | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
achieve her quiet ambition of accepting the Queen's invitation to | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
run the country. She is no stranger to high office, but as the nation's | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
leader, this epic first introduction. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
The Government I lead will be driven not by the interests | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
of the privileged few, but by yours. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
We are living through an important moment in our country's history. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Following the referendum, we face a time of great national change. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
And I know, because we're Great Britain, that we will | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
As we leave the European Union, we will forge a bold new positive | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
role for ourselves in the world, and we will make Britain a country | :09:52. | :10:01. | |
A leader who hopes for calm but might well surprise. | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
Events will no doubt surprise Theresa May. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
But sometimes politicians find a moment. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Sometimes it is the moment that finds them. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster. | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
In Theresa May Manta, and straight down to work. We have had the early | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
part of a Cabinet reshuffle -- in Theresa May went. | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
Let's talk to Vicki Young in Downing Street. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
I just after 9pm, hasn't finished for this evening, will the rest of | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
the reshuffle be done tomorrow? That's right, she's appointed the | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
top jobs and made first foreign call, she has spoken to Angela | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
Merkel, the German Chancellor, of course, that is the first call that | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
was made. Pity significant given that the UK has just voted to leave | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
the European Union. Theresa May knows that will dominate so much of | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
what she does in the coming months and years. I think it is for that | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
reason that she has set up a separate Brexit unit, if you like, | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
with a Cabinet minister in charge of the negotiations when they start, in | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
close -- in charge of setting out a vision. David Davis will take on | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
that role and lead it. I think the headlines tomorrow will all be about | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Boris Johnson, the other big cheerleader for Brexit, as and about | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
during that campaign. He has been rewarded with the job of Foreign | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Secretary. He will have an awful lot to prove. Some believe that he is | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
too frivolous for that job, his friends, of course, say he has been | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
Mayor of London, revs of a capital city, he wants to do something | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
serious, to be taken seriously, and Theresa May is putting an awful lot | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
of trust in him, which she hopes will be rewarded. I think what she | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
is saying to the party and the country is that she is serious about | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
Brexit, she will not go back on the referendum result, so the key | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
appointments to nights are around the whole issue of the UK leaving | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
the European Union. Brexit is the absolute priority, as | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
you said, and focus. What did you make of what Theresa May said as she | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
entered Downing Street? It was incredibly striking. Some suggested | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
that was a speech that could have been made by the Leader of the | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Opposition Labour Party in this country. She talked about helping | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
the disadvantaged, she said that everything she did in Government | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
would be seen and she would think about those who do not have very | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
much, those who are struggling to make ends meet, those who have not | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
had the opportunities that some of the more privileged in society have | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
had. That is her mission, she called it a mission. This is what her words | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
were, now she has to act on it. Appointments tomorrow in departments | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
like education and health and the other areas of Government will be | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
very crucial as well. They will have to look at the domestic agenda. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Others so much emphasis would be Brexit and the European Union and | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
they are negotiations when they come, she has an awful lot that she | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
wants to do. She has set out very clearly what her vision is, she has | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
said she wanted to continue the work of David Cameron. She called him a | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
one nation Conservative and said that she wanted to continue in that | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
role, seen as a moderniser, somebody in touch with modern society in | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Britain. That is what she aims to do. They are just words at the | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
moment, but in the coming days and weeks she will want to put that into | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
action. It is almost like British politics has been jammed on fast | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
forward for the last three weeks. It is extraordinary, the pace of | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
things, Theresa May going in but David Cameron coming out. You were | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
there in Downing Street when you saw that, what was that like? An | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
incredible thing, watching that handover of power and how quickly it | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
comes when it has been made. Remember that and a warning David | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
Cameron 40 had until September to think about his legacy, to leave | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
here, make speeches -- David Cameron thought he had until September. | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
Dramatically, the leadership contest folded when the other contender | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
pulled out and Theresa May discovered she would be Prime | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Minister by Wednesday. I think David Cameron will be concerned about his | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
legacy, certainly right now it can't be seen as anything other than a | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
failure in terms of him losing a referendum. He did not want the UK | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
to leave the EU, that went against him and that precipitated his | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
departure from Downing Street. He wants to be a member for other | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
things, sorting out the economy. When he became Prime Minister back | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
in 2010 he went into coalition with the Lib Dems, another party, | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
something that had not really been done before in that way. He would | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
say that he steadied the ship, employment has been rising in the | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
country, growth has been on the up, he feels that with social policies | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
like legalising gay marriage he has changed the face of written. That is | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
how he would want to be remembered but, for now, everybody will | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
remember that referendum results. Vicki Young in Westminster, thanks | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
once again. Let's continue the conversation. | :15:22. | :15:22. | |
Let's speak to Baroness Anne Jenkin, Conservative peer who co-founded | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
Women2Win with Theresa May in 2005 in order to get more | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
Thank you so much for being here with me at the end of another | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
extraordinary day. What have you made of today, to see Theresa May go | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
through that door? I'm extremely proud, I never bought as a young | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
woman that I would actually see, let alone meat and no two Conservative | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
women Prime Minister 's. Both of whom have stature and seriousness | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
that will lead the country to very challenging periods, which lies | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
ahead for Theresa. I'm very proud and optimistic. Although slightly | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
scared. Like a scared? The girl because we are in unprecedented | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
times. -- slightly scared? Because we are in unprecedented times, but | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
we are in the hands of somebody dedicated incompetent, she will not | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
spend the evening 's chill axing, I don't imagine she has opened | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
champagne since this happened. We are in unprecedented times, globally | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
and nationally, I am scared like some people in the country are. But | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
there is also a feeling that there is a bit less testosterone and | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
adrenaline from the Westminster village, we will calm down a little. | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
In terms of the group that you've co-founded with Theresa May, we only | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
had one woman in the top flight, six or seven names so far. Do you | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
anticipate many more? Luckily we now have a pretty good pool from which | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
she can fish. When Theresa May herself was elected to Parliament in | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
1997 she was one of 13 conservative women MPs, the same as in 1931. We | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
have 68 today. And enough women with experience, competent. I am sure we | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
will see more. And not just more in the Cabinet bit in the junior ranks. | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
The pipeline is very important. What did you make of what she said coming | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
into Downing Street, listing groups like the poor, black people, women, | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
working class white boys not getting into school? What did you make of | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
who she was talking to? Did that surprise you, the Theresa May that | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
you know? The God no, she is a very caring person. She is ambitious, not | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
the herself personally, but the country. The referendum vote woke up | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
a lot of people to the divisions in this country, people who would | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
rather turn a blind eye to it. I think she reflects a feeling that we | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
must look after those who felt left behind by globalisation, left behind | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
because of austerity in recent years. I am not at all surprised | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
that those other groups to whom she is talking today. Thank you so much | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
for being on the green with me today. Plenty more from me in a few | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
minutes. Now back to the studio. Still to come on Outside Source - | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
we'll be live to New York and Washington to find out US market | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
and political reaction to the news David Cameron took the opportunity | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
to take a final jab at Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
in his last Prime In good jest, he said Mr Corbyn | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
reminded him of the black knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
over his refusal to step He also compared the apparent | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
leadership crisis in Labour to the complete overhaul | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
of the Conservatives in the days following his resignation | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
as Prime Minister. Let's just take the last week, we | :19:00. | :19:12. | |
have both been having these leadership elections. We got on with | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
it, we have had resignation, nomination, competition and | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
coronation. They haven't even decided what the rules are yet! | :19:20. | :19:31. | |
If I ever got into power, it would take about a year to work out who | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
would sit where! Jeremy Corbyn exoneration Mark | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
democracy is an exciting and splendoured thing, I am enjoying | :19:40. | :19:40. | |
every moment of it. This is Outside Source live | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
from the BBC newsroom. It is our only story of the evening | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
at the moment. Theresa May has become | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
the new British Prime Minister. She was officially appointed | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. She's been making her | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
Cabinet appointments - Boris Johnson will be Foreign | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
Secretary. Earlier David Cameron left | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
Downing Street for the last time He made a speech defending his | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
record, saying Britain had become Time for Outside Source Business | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
now, and I just want to begin with this tweet from the now-former | :20:13. | :20:27. | |
British Chancellor of the Exchequer until about an hour | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
or so ago, George Osborne. As you know, he resigned | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
from Government just Well, the pound has fallen back | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
against the dollar It had enjoyed a little lift | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
earlier in the week. As you can see in this graph, | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
that was after the news that Theresa May would be Prime Minister, | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
removing the prospect of a prolonged leadership contest | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
in the Conservative Party. The world is waiting now to see how | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
the new Prime Minister will approach negotiations with | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Europe over Brexit. Let me show you this comment | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
from the US Treasury Let's bring in our correspondent | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
in New York now, Samira Hussain. What is Jacob Lew mean when he says | :21:10. | :21:39. | |
that? What he wants to see is both sides showing flexibility when it | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
comes to trying to negotiate a deal. A long, protracted debate between | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
the UK and the EU in terms of what would happen in a Brexit type | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
scenario is not very good for markets or for investors or the | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
global economy. He is trying to put in words of stability for investors. | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
When we hear that businesslike stability, why are they so keen on | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
ensuring this stable environment? What do they need? Think of it as a | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
relationship you would have in life. Would you rather have a rock and | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
roll relationship when you did not really know where things were going, | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
or are very stable relationship in which you knew where things stood? | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
That is pretty much what markets and businesses like, they like addicts | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
ability, to know what is coming down the pipeline. As long as they are | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
not surprised, they can make really informed business choices -- they | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
like predictability. In some ways, seeing some resolution to who is | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
leading the UK offers some of that stability. At the same time, the | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
fact we are seeing about George Osborne will no longer be Chancellor | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
of the Exchequer and Philip Hammond will be taking that spot, that | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
offers a little bit more on the instability side because somebody | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
else will be taking on the reins and seeing the country through, | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
financially. Thank you very much Samir Hussein, with some reaction | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
from New York and the United States. Matthew is at Westminster. It is | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
hard to believe that three weeks ago none of this had happened, we were | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
on the eve of a referendum, what a three weeks it has been an day after | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
day we keep saying, what an extraordinary day! Extraordinary, | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
and today has been in the same vein in terms of the speeds and the | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
change. Today we saw one Prime Minister exit number ten one minute, | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
and then a new person go through the door. It made a huge drama, starting | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
with Prime Minister's Questions with so many warm, genuine tributes to | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
David Cameron in the Commons. He seems to love it. He is in his | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
element at the dispatch box. His sharp political minds and humour and | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
the brutal put-downs, I suppose most of those aimed at Jeremy Corbyn | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
today, but after that he was back at Downing Street, putting the final | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
touches to, of course, leaving their as his home. Then it was the journey | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
to the Palace, that short meeting with the Queen. Before that he came | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
out in front of Number Ten with his family, his wife and children. A | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
final wave. He spoke in such warm terms about bringing up his | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
children, his family there at Downing Street. He spoke of | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
semantic, the love of his life, you said, who had kept him vaguely sane. | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
Then before he left he spoke about the same thing he did in the Commons | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
I'm talking about what he thought were his achievements in the last | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
six years. So many people have made the obvious observations which is, | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
despite all that over the last six years and two months, many people | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
think he will be remembered, his legacy was simply be one word, | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
Brexit. Nobody will be under any illusion, including Theresa May, | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
that there will be any honeymoon period? No honeymoon period. She | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
went to the door into Number Ten and began the task of pulling together | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
her team. We have had the big beasts already announced. Auris Johnson has | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
been the surprise announcement -- wrist Johnson. And the brake of the | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
past, with George Osborne going back to the backbenches. She is straight | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
down to work, that is exactly how she likes to see herself. Plenty | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
more coming up today on Outside Source From Westminster, Don't Go | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
Away. | :26:02. | :26:04. |
