LONDON - The contest to replace Theresa May as British prime minister hotted up on Saturday with five candidates now vying for a job whose central task will be to find a way to take a divided Britain out of the European Union.

British health minister Matt Hancock became the latest figure to join the contest to replace May, following former foreign minister Boris Johnson, current foreign minister Jeremy Hunt, International Development Secretary Rory Stewart and former work and pensions minister Esther McVey. All those standing say they can succeed where she failed, although the EU has said it would not renegotiate the treaty it had agreed with May.

Boris Johnson is the clear favorite with bookmakers and he has said Britain should be prepared to exit the bloc without any deal if no acceptable agreement could be reached. “There are huge tensions in this race which are that people will be encouraged to promise things they can’t deliver, of those probably the most dramatic are people who are going to be encouraged to promise a no-deal Brexit,” one of the contenders, Rory Stewart, told BBC radio.

British health minister Hancock joins race to replace May as prime ministerBritish health minister Matt Hancock said on Saturday he would enter the contest... Cool. Has the NHS improved under his care? He's made a big impact has he? Still waiting on Javid, but he will probably wait until Monday. No current cabinet minister, who has surely taken individual and collective responsibility for government decisions on Brexit thus far, is remotely suitable to lead this country. They had plenty of opportunity to challenge decisions and chose not to. brexitparty_uk
