May in as Cameron leaves 10 Downing

In a speech earlier outside 10 Downing St., May said she followed in the footsteps of “a great modern prime minister”.

Britain’s new Prime Minister Theresa May said in her first speech as head of the British government Wednesday that her mission will be to lead a “One Nation” government. But Juncker told reporters in Beijing that he had “no beef” with Cameron. But that future now belongs to May, and it involves instability, uncertainty and tough wrangling over Britain’s departure from the European Union.

Britain’s new Prime Minister Theresa May has officially moved into her new residence – 10 Downing Street.

Mr Cameron had staked everything on his ability to persuade the country to vote to remain in the European Union in the June 23 referendum.

May, 59, has become the second female British prime minister after Margaret Thatcher, who served in office from 1979-90.

He even poked fun at himself, reminding lawmakers of a barb he had directed at former Prime Minister Tony Blair of the Labour Party as he was leaving office.

Scotland bucked the national trend for the referendum, with 62% voting to remain.

She said: “I know you’re working around the clock, I know you’re doing your best and I know sometimes it can be a struggle”.

But David’s true legacy is not about the economy, but about social justice. We will do everything we can to help anybody, whatever your background, to go as far as your talents will take you.

She is expected to quickly unveil a new Cabinet lineup, including a minister in charge of implementing Brexit.

Secretary of State John Kerry called Johnson to congratulate him and “stressed US support for a sensible and measured approach to the Brexit process”, the State Department said.

May had been a supporter of the campaign to keep Britain within the European Union but has indicated that she intends to honor the wishes of the British people and to take the country out of the bloc by invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Philip Hammond has been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer and former chancellor George Osborne has resigned from Government, Downing Street has announced.

Until Wednesday, May was the home secretary.

After Cameron’s final private audience with the Queen, the monarch said her farewell, again in private, to Cameron’s family.

Earlier in the day, Cameron made his final appearance in the House of Commons, where he received a standing ovation for his performance after six years in the job.

“It’s not been an easy journey, and of course we’ve not got every decision right”.

Mr Key said he hoped to talk to the new leader in the coming days, and he also wished the best for Mr Cameron whom he said had become a very good friend.

In 2005, in a remark aimed at Blair in his first prime minister’squestions as opposition leader, Cameron said: “He was the future once”.
