Senior Conservatives have congratulated Rishi Sunak after it was confirmed he will become the UK's next prime minister - but Labour has reiterated its calls for an immediate general election.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly urged Conservatives to"unite" around Mr Sunak following his election as the party's next leader.Advertisement

"That means uniting round the prime minister. We don't have the luxury of argument and division. We have to focus on delivery for the British people." But Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner accused the former chancellor of having"no mandate" to govern, and reiterated her party's demands for an immediate general election.

"The Tories have crowned Rishi Sunak without him saying a word about what he would do as PM," she said."Nobody voted for this. The public deserve their say on Britain's future through a general election. It's time for a fresh start with Labour.""The Tories cannot be allowed to impose a third prime minister without a general election, voters must get a say and the SNP is determined to ensure they do," he said in a statement.
