On May 16th Tory backbenchers extracted a promise that if Mrs May fails in her fourth attempt to pass her Brexit bill, she will outline a timetable for her departure
race to succeed Theresa May as leader of the Conservative Party, and thus prime minister, has been going on ever since her disastrous election performance two years ago. On May 16th it moved up a gear when senior Tory backbenchers met Mrs May and extracted a promise that if, as expected, she fails in her fourth attempt to pass her Brexit bill in the House of Commons early next month, she will outline a timetable for her departure.
The man most fancied to succeed her, Boris Johnson, a former foreign secretary and prominent Brexiteer, had earlier that day thrown his hat in the ring. “Of course I’m going for it,” he told an audience of insurance brokers in Manchester. Expect more candidates to break cover over the course of the next few weeks.
