Who should replace Boris Johnson as Prime Minister?

A timetable for the Tory leadership race is due to be confirmed next week and the new prime minister is expected to be in position by September.

Others tipped to run include Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, former Chancellor Rishi Sunak and ex-Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Transport minister Robert Courts said Mr Shapps, who he works alongside, would be a "great choice" and also suggested Ben Wallace, the defence secretary. Somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 people will be charged with selecting the next head of our government on our behalf.

Some Tories are deeply unhappy that Mr Johnson is not quitting as PM immediately, with the former Prime Minister Sir John Major saying it would be "unwise" for him to stay until a replacement is chosen.

This would be an improvement.

Hopefully Jeremy Hunt. Best option would be a snap GE and then labour receive their inevitable win.

It's irrelevant. All globalist puppets.
