Welcome to your new home! Theresa May arrives at No 10 for David Cameron's final Cabinet meeting - 24 hours before she becomes Prime Minister

Theresa May was the final arrival for David Cameron's last Cabinet meeting today as she begins to plot her own top team.

The Home Secretary, who faced some of her leadership rivals across the Cabinet table this morning, seized the Tory crown yesterday after her final opponent, Andrea Leadsom, sensationally dropped out of the race.

Mr Cameron will conclude today's meeting and then prepare for a final outing at Prime Minister's Questions tomorrow before making the short journey to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to the Queen.

He will be 'banged out' of the Cabinet room by his team of senior ministers when the meeting ends sometime before 11am.

But attention has already turned to Mrs May and who she will appoint to her own Cabinet following her coronation as Tory leader.


Among her former rivals at today's meeting were Justice Secretary Michael Gove, who finished a distant third after blowing up Boris Johnson's campaign with a dramatic political knifing. Stephen Crabb, the Work and Pensions Secretary who dropped out at the first round stage was also at today's gathering.

There is intense speculation in Westminster on how Mrs May will shape her first Cabinet, amid tension within the Tory Party over the Brexit split between Leave and Remain supporters.

Key allies such as Chris Grayling have been highlighted for possible promotion, while finding a place for the biggest names under Mr Cameron - including the Chancellor George Osborne - will be a key task.
