Rishi Sunak has said he has "heard your anger" as he resigned as leader of the Conservative Party after Labour won a landslide in the general election.
Mr Sunak said he would not leave his role immediately but would do so once a Tory leadership race begins.
"I would like to say, first and foremost, I am sorry. I have given this job my all," he said on the steps of 10 Downing Street.
"But you have sent a clear signal that the government of the United Kingdom must change.
"And yours is the only judgement that matters.
"I have heard your anger, your disappointment, and I take responsibility for this loss."
He added: "I am honoured to have been your prime minister, this is the best country in the world."
