#PMQS

Theresa May takes Prime Minister’s Questions from the House of Commons for the final time.

@Peterstefanovi2 said: “Theresa May’s final PMQS showed just how detached she really is from the reality of the poverty, misery & despair her party’s policies have inflicted on the country.”

@Joepike noted: “‘Thank you, Mr Speaker.’ Theresa May v emotional as she shakes the hand of John Bercow. Leaves the Commons for the final time as PM to part standing ovation.”

@owenjbennett added: “Theresa May leaves to a standing ovation from Tory MPS. Labour frontbench sit on their hands. Lib Dems do applaud.”

@Iainmartin said: “V good Scottish Questions with demob-happy Mundell. Anna Soubry says she hopes he stays in post. Mundell says her endorsement has sealed his fate.”

@danbloom tweeted: “Philip May had a good laugh in the public gallery after Jo Swinson asks Theresa May ‘how to deal with those men who think they can do a better job but are not able to do the actual work.’

@Robdothutton wrote: “Blimey, Tory MPS apparently love Theresa May! Remind me why she’s resigning?”

#BORISJOHNSON

The new PM continued to be the talk of Twitter.

@Dpjhodges mused: “Who runs the country for the hour or so between Theresa May resigning and Boris Johnson being formally appointed by the Queen?”

@Davidhughespa answered: “The Queen. It’s always the Queen.”

@davewiner said: “I’m rewatching The Crown on Netflix, and wondering what Boris Johnson’s first audience with Queen Elizabeth will be like.”

@Sanhotree wondered: “What time is the ritual beheading? I don’t want to miss that bit.”

@Glenn_riley wrote: “Boris elected Tory leader, followed by massive thunderstorm. The Gods are angry.”

@Thelittleshop04 said: “I don’t like to tweet on politics or religion but the world is doomed with Tweedledee and Tweedledum in charge of two of the most influential countries in the world, what the hell is going to happen.”
