Dominic Cummings' rumoured appointment as senior adviser to the incoming Prime Minister has raised questions about a potential new film role for actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who played the Vote Leave campaign leader in the 2019 film Brexit: The Uncivil War.

Watch a special programme on Boris Johnson: The Next Prime Minister with Andrew Marr on Wednesday 24 July at 19:30 BST on BBC One, or afterwards on BBC iPlayer.

Theresa May's director of communications, Robbie Gibb, says it was "an honour" to work for the outgoing prime minister.

Labour's Stephen Kinnock says a no confidence vote should be tabled in early September, when it becomes apparent as to what type of Brexit Mr Johnson will be pursuing in office.

He adds that in 2016, no one was saying that the UK should leave the EU without a deal, and Nigel Farage was advocating a Norway-style agreement.

The SNP's Pete Wishart says a no confidence vote should be tabled "as soon as possible" as there has never been a prime minister "so ill-prepared" for office.

He says he insists that Scotland must be listened to, because it does not want to leave the EU.

Mr Wishart adds that Parliament is supposed to be taking back control, but now politicians are talking about suspending Parliament.

Meanwhile, Conservative Brexiteer Mark Francois says that the "British public are absolutely sick and tired" of MPs playing "silly games" to try and stop the UK from leaving the EU.

He adds that "I am absolutely confident that we will leave", but "no-deal is not the desired end state".

Justice Secretary David Gauke and International Development Secretary Rory Stewart have both said they intend to resign from their cabinet roles before Boris Johnson takes office.

Mr Gauke used a popular mobile app to prematurely age a picture of himself and Mr Stewart.

Sharing it on Twitter, he joked: "A few ministers leaving government today. Some of us hope to return... one day".

Children and Families Minister Nadhim Zahawi says that he has known Boris Johnson for 20 years and points out that he managed to win two mayoral elections in Labour-supporting London.

Mr Zadhawi says Mr Johnson has managed to get Brexiteers and Remainers on his team, even from the early days of the leadership contest.

Mr Johnson will "turbo-charge" preparations for a no-deal Brexit, he adds.

The Beyond Today podcast asks "what would happen if Boris Johnson was black?" in a discussion about privilege.

Dominic Cummings is expected to become a senior adviser to the new prime minister.

The former Vote Leave chief is experienced in government, having worked for years alongside Michael Gove, and is likely to be welcomed by Brexiteers.

But his appointment is likely to cause controversy too after his role in the referendum campaign.

He will work alongside Eddie Lister - Mr Johnson’s former chief of staff at City Hall when he was Mayor of London - with the two men taking the key roles in No 10.

We can also confirm that David Frost, a former ambassador and senior official at the Foreign Office, will be the key official handling Brexit, the ‘sherpa’.

Priti Patel has refused to comment on whether she’s in line for a new cabinet job, but said it was “important we have a government that reflects modern Britain".

“I’m not speculating about jobs, or roles, in government at all. The decision behind that lies firmly with the prime minister” she said.

But she remarked on Boris Johnson’s “diverse and dynamic team” when he was Mayor of London.

“Boris Johnson wants to see a modern Conservative party," the former international development secretary added.

Ian Robertson, an ex-BMW board member, says the UK car industry has seen "a great recovery" over the past 20 years but adds that investment has "dwindled" recently due to the "uncertainty the past months have brought us".

The industry needs "an end to the uncertainty", he says.

"Having a deal is equally critical to maintaining the momentum the industry has had over the past few years.

"In the event of a no deal, the industry will at best tread water."

The SNP's Westminster leader, Ian Blackford, tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme that a no-deal Brexit could increase support for Scottish independence - and thus lead to a break-up of the country.

"There is no question Boris is a recruiting sergeant for those who want to see Scotland become independent," he says.

"I think as it stands today he could be the last prime minister of the United Kingdom."

Scotland voted 62% to Remain in the EU referendum.

BBC Scotland's chief political correspondent has tweeted this video from last year of Scottish Secretary David Mundell, saying he would find it "extremely difficult" to work with Mr Johnson.

He has since said he wouldn't "rule out" working under the new PM.

If there was an early election, for the moment at least, the honest truth is we are looking at a deeply hung Parliament - one in which both Tory and Labour are on around 260-270 seats.

In any new Parliament, the Conservatives will be light on potential friends - only DUP or Brexit Party MPs.

Labour at least has the prospect, given where they stand on Brexit, of doing some deal with the SNP and/or the Lib Dems.

YouGov yesterday asked whether people had an favourable or unfavourable view of Mr Johnson - a question they also asked of Theresa May when she became prime minister three years ago.

When she became PM, 48% said they had a favourable view. For Boris Johnson, 31% said they had a favourable view compared to 58% who said unfavourable.

For some people he is definitely somebody they like - those people who support the Brexit Party and/or voted Leave.

But among those who voted Remain he is deeply unpopular - 86% have an unfavourable view of him.

He is a deeply polarising figure on the issue of Brexit and faces a substantial challenge if he wants to unify the country.

Sources close to Mr Johnson have said his top team will reflect "modern Britain", with him expected to increase the number of women in full cabinet positions and boost the representation of ethnic minorities.
