RISHI Sunak is expected to give a speech outside Downing Street following a disastrous night for the Conservatives.
A record number of Tory Cabinet members lost their seats, beating the previous record of seven defeats in 1997.
Keir Starmer will be the UK’s new Labour prime minister with the likes of Liz Truss, Grant Shapps and Penny Mordaunt among those to lose their seats.
Here’s what you need to know.
When will Rishi Sunak speak?
It was initially reported that Sunak would address the media outside No 10 around 10.30am although it looks like it could be earlier.

It is not yet known if he is planning on resigning as the leader of the Tories yet.
How can I watch Rishi Sunak’s speech?
All major broadcasters will be covering the speech, including the BBC and Sky News while many are also likely to show it on their social media channels.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
