Tomorrow at daybreak in Downing Street, Boris Johnson will bid the country goodbye as they savour their cornflakes.
Due to poor weather that was predicted to disrupt his trip to meet the Queen in Scotland, the departing prime minister was obliged to move up his speech outside Number 10.
The 9am address has been moved forward to 7.30am because he will be seeing the 96-year-old Queen at Balmoral in the Cairngorms later tomorrow morning.
It indicates that he may perhaps leave his last impression on UK politics as sluggish Britons eat toast and tea as they get ready for the day.
Liz Truss, who will meet with the Queen and be requested to officially form a Government as prime minister, will accompany him to Balmoral.
Although Mr. Johnson may have sent his resignation notice in July, it has taken this long for him to actually go.
