LONDON — The former foreign secretary Boris Johnson has confirmed that he will stand to be Conservative party leader and prime minister once Theresa May resigns."there is no vacancy at present." He joins a growing list of potential contenders to replace May, which includes his fellow Brexiteer Dominic Raab, the Home Secretary Sajid Javid, and the former Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey.The prime minister met with senior Conservative backbenchers on Thursday morning to discuss her plans to make way for a successor, but did not set a date for her departure.
Both the opposition Labour Party and the Democratic Unionist Party, which props up May's minority government, have vowed to vote the Brexit Withdrawal Bill down in its current form.Asked whether the vote would be treated as a confidence vote in the prime minister, a spokesman for the PM said at a briefing attended by Business Insider that"clearly the significance of this piece of legislation can't, and I suspect won't, be underestimated.
