one or two may cling onto the cabinet, but there is still a question tonight whether dominic raab, deputyecide to go before tomorrow's reshuffle. but effectively the order of plate is, very early in the morning, boris johnson will give his final speech as prime minister in the street outside number 10, that he will head off to aberdeen, to meet the queen at balmoral, where he will resign. travelling separately, liz truss will become the actual prime minister when she meets the queen and is invited to form a government. she will come back to london and about four o'clock, depend on the weather conditions, she is likely to give her first speech as prime minister. then i am told when she gets herfeet under the minister. then i am told when she gets her feet under the desk, minister. then i am told when she gets herfeet under the desk, pretty soon afterwards, we should get key appointments, topjobs soon afterwards, we should get key appointments, top jobs at cabinet level announced. perhaps all in one fell swoop. some of the people i was talking about there being confirmed in post. and then t
