* Boris Johnson has been announced as Conservatives' new leader after winning backing from party members
* The MP won a resounding 66 per cent of the votes from Conservative Party members in the postal ballot
* The newly-elected Tory leader will take over from Theresa May as the Prime Minister tomorrow afternoon
* Mr Johnson has made an appeal for party unity following a fractious campaign against Jeremy Hunt
* He has reiterated his determination to force through Brexit by the end of October with or without a deal
* Respected behind-the-scenes operator Mark Spencer has been appointed as the government chief whip

Boris Johnson was cheered to the rafters by Tory MPs tonight - as he got his leadership off to a running start by appointing Mark Spencer as his chief whip.

Mr Johnson was greeted with whooping and banging of desks as he arrived to address the backbench 1922 committee at Parliament after securing the top job. In an up-beat plea for unity, he promised to 'love bomb' those who did not back him.

The new Conservative leader spent the afternoon thrashing out the shape of the rest of his team with aides amid high secrecy, with rumours swirling over who will get the biggest posts when he officially takes over from Theresa May as PM tomorrow.

He kicked off the process by drafting in Mr Spencer, a Remainer in the referendum who is little-known outside Westminster but a respected behind-the-scenes operator. Sky executive Andrew Griffith has been brought in as the No10 'corporate adviser'.
