At least 8 leading Tory MPs were scrambling to cut backroom deals to succeed David Cameron last night after his departure from No10 was dramatically brought forward.
Amid
an announcement that David Cameron will be out of office by the start of
September 2016, the battle for the premiership exploded into life.
Attempts to crown Boris Johnson fell flat when supporters of Home Secretary Theresa May made it clear
she is determined to fight her old rival to the bitter end.
The
backbench 1922 Committee of Tory MPs Monday June 27,2016 accelerated the process
for replacing David Cameron.
The PM had wanted to stand down in October,
but, amid the huge uncertainty over how to implement Brexit, nominations
will take place tomorrow and Thursday June 30,2016
MPs
will whittle down the list of candidates to two by the middle of next
month. A ballot of the party’s 150,000 members will then follow, with a
new Tory leader named by September 2,2016
