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.

i'm going to say that it is highly likely that it will be a complete unknown that ends up winning the election. I also think that the person who comes second will concede and there will be a new leader within a couple of weeks

I knew he was hated,


He was on GBnewsHD

He has views
but many remember, the trouble he has caused in the past.

I would ban him for BBC Question Time.

But I must say
I hated the way PM May
wasted years on Brexit
and it is not finished until Northern Ireland is sorted.

Rishi won't win it, not a chance. No-one with a deep association with Boris, ie a cabinet member will win. It's more and more likely to be a complete unknown.

He also blew it with his wifes tax status and his insistence that he wont reduce taxation
