Almost the first thing Theresa May will do after speaking to the media outside the black door of Number 10 Downing Street this evening is be briefed by her security chief Sir Nicholas Houghton.

She’ll then compose what’s eerily called her letter of last resort: four handwritten notes to her defence chiefs telling them what do in the event of a devastating nuclear strike on Britain.

These notes will be destroyed when she leaves office.

Next order of business is selecting a Cabinet,to which she is expected to elevate at least three more women.
