cameronnumber10David Cameron has announced he is resigning as prime minister after Britain voted to leave the European Union after more than 40 years.

In a statement outside Downing Street, and with his wife by his side, Cameron said that it was “not right” for him to be “the captain that 'steers the country' in a new direction".

He said: “I Iove this country and will do everything I can to serve it,” but he added “the will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.”

Cameron said he would stay on while a new Tory leader was elected but expected that he would gone by the time of the Conservative Party conference in October.
