Unelected former Prime Minister Theresa May tendered her resignation to the Queen a few minutes ago. Unelected incoming Prime Minister Boris Johnson is, at this moment, meeting with Her Majesty in hopes that she will invite him to form a new government.

I recommend just a few opinion pieces on Johnson out this morning:
- Times columnist Roger Cohen says Johnson "faces a swift and bloody mess."
- The Atlantic's Tom McTague says Johnson has "met his destiny."
- The Post rounds up other reactions from UK tabloids.
- The BBC describes what Johnson can expect on his first day.
Meanwhile, to underscore that the UK may have gone to hell today, the Met Office predicts that tomorrow may be the hottest day ever in the country. Ever.
