Theresa May sweeps into Downing Street and promises to build 'a better Britain' and 'a country that works for everyone'

Theresa May has pledged to battle 'social injustice' and create a 'country that works for everyone' after being officially been installed as the new Prime Minister. Setting out her stall as a 'one nation' Tory, Mrs May tonight said she was determined to listen 'not to the mighty' but to the members of society who were struggling and disadvantaged. Speaking from Downing Street after formally taking over from David Cameron, the new PM said: 'The Government I lead will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few but by yours. We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives. When we take the big calls, we will think not of the powerful, but you.' Mrs May became Britain's second female premier, following in the footsteps of fellow Tory Margaret Thatcher, after a 34 minute audience with the Queen in Buckingham Palace. The Monarch invited her to form a government just minutes after Mr Cameron had been in to tender his resignation.
