By September 5, Britain will have a new Prime Minister. Facing increasing opposition from members of his own government, Boris Johnson resigned after just over three years in 10 Downing Street.

But what state does he leave Britain in? And what will be top of the to-do list for his successor?

Johnson claims to have "got Brexit done," but many disagree with his take on current relations with the EU. And, of course, the new Prime Minister will face an economy seemingly in freefall, with inflation at levels not seen for decades and the global cost of living crunch biting the UK hard.
