9:40Now PlayingRishi Sunak has officially stepped down as Prime Minister after a catastrophic election that saw the Tories slump to their lowest ever number of MPs.
The ex-PM flew back to London from Yorkshire where he conceded, telling the nation today in his resignation speech: “I am sorry.
“I have given this job my all but you have sent a clear signal that the government of the United Kingdom must change.
“I have heard your anger. Following this result I will step down as party leader, not immediately, but once the formal arrangements for selecting my successor are in place.”
He said Sir Keir Starmer is a "decent, public spirited man, who I respect."
James O'Brien reflects on the 'fall of the Tory Party' and who could be their next leader as they become the Official Opposition.
