- Who are the candidates vying for Prime Minister Theresa May’s job and what have they said about Brexit?
Last week Johnson said Britain would leave the EU on October 31 “deal or no deal” adding that a second referendum on EU membership would be a “very bad idea” and divisive. “We must leave the EU before we have an election,” Gove said on Twitter, saying Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn could end up as prime minister with support from Scottish nationalists.A pro-Brexit campaigner, Leadsom made it to the last two in the 2016 contest to replace Cameron. She withdrew after a backlash to an interview in which she said being a mother gave her more of a stake in the future of the country, seen by critics as an unfair attack on May, who has no children.
He had held junior ministerial roles since being elected in 2010. Raab, a black belt in karate, campaigned for Brexit. However, in an article in the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday he became the most senior figure vying to replace May to reject a threat to leave with no deal by the end of October, saying lawmakers would block any such move.
“We have a deal negotiated with the European Union on the Withdrawal Agreement. What I would be doing in parliament and with the British people is sorting out that political declaration and landing it so we can get out and move on.”Justice Secretary David Gauke and Conservative Party grandee and former finance minister Ken Clarke have backed Stewart.Javid, a former banker and a champion of free markets, has served a number of cabinet roles and scores consistently well in polls of party members.
“What it would be is an added level of uncertainty and difficulty at a time when we could well do without that. we absolutely can deliver a Brexit with no deal.”Health minister Hancock, a former economist at the Bank of England, supported “Remain” in 2016. First elected to parliament in 2010, he has held several ministerial roles.
“We need to leave the EU with a deal before 31st October. I still think that is deliverable,” he said.The pro-Brexit former television presenter, who resigned as work and pensions minister in November in protest at May’s exit deal with the EU, said on Sunday Britain has to leave on Oct. 31 and “if that means without a deal, then that is what it means.”
In 2014 he resigned as immigration minister after it emerged his cleaner did not have permission to work in Britain.
