Andrea Leadsom has pulled out of the contest to become the next Conservative Party leader and UK PM - with Theresa May now set to succeed David Cameron.
Mrs Leadsom said she did not believe she had sufficient support to lead a "strong and stable government".
She also said a nine-week leadership campaign at such a "critical time" for the UK would be "highly undesirable".
The energy minister said Mrs May was "ideally placed" to implement Brexit, and wished her the "greatest success".
