What happens now he has stepped down?
There will now be a leadership contest to replace Mr Johnson as the leader of the Conservative Party and as the Prime Minister.

The PM’s remarks suggest that, like his predecessors Theresa May and David Cameron, he will stay in post while the party chooses its new supremo.

Tory leadership battles typically take two months to complete and take place across two rounds.

Firstly, a longlist of MPs is drawn up by Tory party chiefs, with only those who had secured the support of at least eight of their colleagues making the final cut.

They then enter two gruelling selection rounds, with the first seeing all Tory MPs vote in three successive rounds to whittle the candidates down to a final two.

Hopefuls need to earn the backing of at least 5 per cent of the parliamentary party, or 18 MPs, to get through the first stage and 10 per cent, equating to 36 MPs, to pass the second.

It will then be up to the 200,000-strong membership of the party to choose between the remaining pair following several weeks of heavy campaigning and hustings debates.

---------------------------------------

The Attorney General Suella Braveman has already announced her intention to run, and is expected to be followed by a large number of the PM’s top team.


Nadhim Zahawi, the former chancellor Rishi Sunak, the former health secretary Sajid Javid and the Defence Secretary Ben Wallace are among the Cabinet favourites.

Penny Mordaunt, a trade minister, is also tipped to run - as are backbenchers Tom Tugendhat, Steve Baker and Jeremy Hunt.

If 1 candidate is miles ahead in the mp voting, then the whole process can be shrunk down to a couple of weeks, i think they will be tweaking the rules to make that a probable outcome

Penny and Suella are the only ones I want until the election

Mr Tugendhat is regarded as one of the leading lights of the so-called “moderate” and One Nation wing of the party. He holds the Foreign Office to account as chairman of the cross-party House of Commons foreign affairs committee.

He has been strongly critical of Mr Johnson throughout his premiership. In an email to constituents on May 30, he accused him of “a lack of respect it showed for the British people or the Queen”.

Mr Tugendhat did not explicitly say whether or not he had sent a letter of no confidence to Sir Graham Brady, instead writing: “I have made my position clear to those who need to hear it.”

Who would you like Kazanne?

It's a hard thing in politics at present.
The leaders of both main parties have a difficult task of having to appeal to so many voters who now have vastly differing needs and even demands.

Your next leader needs to be able to hold onto those voters in recently won Labour seats.
While not alienating more of the traditional Con voters of the South.
Especially now with the Lib Dems on the rise.

I agree with you although I'm no way a Con as you know, that Sunak cannot do that.

[joeysteele]

Hope not but isn't it the mps that vote


Con members decide between the last 2 usually unless one drops out.
The rules could be changed though this time.

[bots]

it has to be someone that respects and abides by the traditions of parliament. It would be nice if they have a bit of character, they must be able to communicate effectively. They have to have a realistic vision of where they are going to take the country in the future. They must not be obsessed with brexit, they should only be concerned with getting the best trade deals available without sacrificing our sovereignty

What happens now he has stepped down?
There will now be a leadership contest to replace Mr Johnson as the leader of the Conservative Party and as the Prime Minister.

The PM’s remarks suggest that, like his predecessors Theresa May and David Cameron, he will stay in post while the party chooses its new supremo.

Tory leadership battles typically take two months to complete and take place across two rounds.

Firstly, a longlist of MPs is drawn up by Tory party chiefs, with only those who had secured the support of at least eight of their colleagues making the final cut.

They then enter two gruelling selection rounds, with the first seeing all Tory MPs vote in three successive rounds to whittle the candidates down to a final two.

Hopefuls need to earn the backing of at least 5 per cent of the parliamentary party, or 18 MPs, to get through the first stage and 10 per cent, equating to 36 MPs, to pass the second.

It will then be up to the 200,000-strong membership of the party to choose between the remaining pair following several weeks of heavy campaigning and hustings debates.

---------------------------------------

The Attorney General Suella Braveman has already announced her intention to run, and is expected to be followed by a large number of the PM’s top team.


Nadhim Zahawi, the former chancellor Rishi Sunak, the former health secretary Sajid Javid and the Defence Secretary Ben Wallace are among the Cabinet favourites.

Penny Mordaunt, a trade minister, is also tipped to run - as are backbenchers Tom Tugendhat, Steve Baker and Jeremy Hunt.

in fairness, a lot of the problem is that Boris filled his cabinet with intellectual lightweights meaning they are the ones with the highest public profile.

If Boris had actually included people on a competency basis rather than if they were brexiteers, we would be in a far better position

[joeysteele]

I'm only surprised Zahawi has just declared himself.
My thoughts are he's been planning this a fair while now.

However just what anyone will think really of a man who was out defending to the hilt Johnson.
Who once Sunak resigned, then spent over 2 hours talking to Johnson and then taking on the Chancellor post.

Coming out on TV again, stating that he supported the PM Johnson.
Adding that Johnson's now aims were, delivery, delivery, delivery.

Then incredibly within 24 hours was telling Johnson to resign.

It's been reported that some in number 10 branded Gove a snake.
In my view, I would maybe look at Zahawi more for that.

Zahawi's word seems as meaningless as Johnson's.
It does to me anyhow.

Maybe but there's nothing stopping non cabinet members running. In fairness I think some of the current runners do a good job as ministers (I think Zahawi and Saj are good ministers, Rishi has done well at times) but to be PM you need that something extra. Imo our two best ministers are Wallace and Gove and neither are running

Number 6 of what the new Tory leader should do of 11 from the DT

6. Don’t worry about the woke

The people who fret about identity politics will never vote Tory, so stop trying to impress them. If you believe that only women can be pregnant, say so. If you think the obsession with box-ticking in public appointments has gone far enough, call a halt to it. As I write, there look like being five ethnic minority leadership candidates, all of whom have unquestionably risen through merit. The Conservatives have nothing to apologise for and nothing to prove. They should, as Kemi Badenoch says, tell people the truth – however pleasant it is.

[Alf]

So Far The Official 6 are

Rishi Sunak
Grant Shapps
Kemi Badendhat
Suella Braveman
Tom Tugendhat
Nadhim ZahwawiDiversity Labour could only talk about but not do.

[Crimson Dynamo]

10. Restore our sovereignty

If, by the next election, illegal migrants are still reaching Britain without the prospect of being sent to Rwanda, the Conservatives will be trounced. Voters won’t blame Strasbourg judges; they’ll blame the government. It may be that the only way to allow deportations is to quit the ECHR. Suella Braverman reached this conclusion as Attorney General. How many of her fellow leadership contenders share it?

SkyNewsHD will holds the first TV Debate

[bots]

we need to wait for the first round of voting to have a clue how things will go. None of the candidates float my boat

[joeysteele]

Obviously not being a Con supporter, my view is less of importance.
However whoever a party elects can be the Prime Minister of everyone in the UK.
They affect everyone's lives.

So for what it's worth.
I don't think any current or recently resigned Cabinet Minister should be PM.
Especially those now seeking to tear up Johnson's policies in place which they fiercely defended as right.

For me someone I have come to like and maybe the one for a true fresh start with no real baggage attached to him.
Is Tom Tugendhat.

If I was a Con, I'd be supporting him in this leadership election.

Please though to the Con party, please don't elect the Margaret Thatcher wannabe but extremely poor imitation of her, namely Truss.
She is in my view horrendous.
False as far as false can be.

Well arista it doesn't matter who I'd support as I'm not a Con supporter.

I like what he says, plus IF the Cons are genuinely wanting to have a solid fresh start.
Then most of the other candidates are too tarnished or should be, by their last leader's deceit and lies.

There's nothing wrong with being realistic and saying you have a 10 year plan.
That's how long it could take to do the things Tugendhat may wish to.
Especially in the economic state we are in now.

He could be telling the truth, unlike most others who seem to be starting to say, they plan to rip up Johnson's policies, reverse some and add this, that and whatever with only around 2 years of this parliament left.
Doesn't sound like they are setting out to be reliable or even any more trustworthy than the one now thankfully on the way out.

So if I was a Con, I'd be going for Tom Tugendhat.

Bollocks
Fake


Parliament is 4 or 5 years max


Of course a parliament is up to a 5 year term.

However, necessary and effective changes needed can take over 5 years or more to implement and/or work.
Being upfront about that at least shows some thought and applied caution to promises being made.

Obviously not being a Con supporter, my view is less of importance.
However whoever a party elects can be the Prime Minister of everyone in the UK.
They affect everyone's lives.

So for what it's worth.
I don't think any current or recently resigned Cabinet Minister should be PM.
Especially those now seeking to tear up Johnson's policies in place which they fiercely defended as right.

For me someone I have come to like and maybe the one for a true fresh start with no real baggage attached to him.
Is Tom Tugendhat.

If I was a Con, I'd be supporting him in this leadership election.

Please though to the Con party, please don't elect the Margaret Thatcher wannabe but extremely poor imitation of her, namely Truss.
She is in my view horrendous.
False as far as false can be.


She’s got a few things in her past that the media will love to dig up and run with .

I've never got it Zizu.

Even the Con party itself seems to have a fair number with a kind of fixation re Liz Truss.

Were they funded by the British taxpayer like the ERG are, why don’t we know whois in this group, what funding they are receiving and what exactly they are doing, why is it hidden
