Boris Johnson won the race to become Britain's next prime minister on Tuesday, but will face a confrontation over Brexit with Brussels and members of his own party as well as a tense diplomatic standoff with Iran.

Westminster is watching for any early challenge to the new Conservative leader from within his party, which could stop him automatically becoming prime minister.

May's government currently has a majority of just two in the 650-seat House of Commons, made possible through an alliance with the 10 MPs from Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party . However, the main opposition Labour party is not currently expected to force a confidence vote this week. MPs are expected to go on their summer holidays on Friday, giving Johnson some breathing room over the summer to try to get a new Brexit deal.
