BBC News: Reports " Mr Shapps joins former Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Attorney General Suella Braverman, former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch and chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Tom Tugendhat in launching campaigns to take over from Prime Minister Boris Johnson. "
Lets Get Real:
There are quick developments while this blog was writing its post another candidate is standing, Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has thrown his hat in to the ring. The Chancellor already has a negative, he accepted the job and then wrote a letter that stabbed Boris in the front. Expect more candidates! Thus far this blog has no favourite as to who should be the successor to PM Boris, the former Chancellor Rishi Sunak started the ball rolling that ended the time of Boris in office, thus a negative to start with, then while Chancellor he has risen taxes to there highest since 1949. On the plus point, he voted Brexit in 2016, but it has been reported that he has some reservations on the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill going through the House of Commons at the moment. It will be interesting to see see do some tough TV interviews, and asked about his tax plan, at the moment he is against tax cuts, and his view of Brexit. Also his campaign team was ready very fast, slick video etc, so when did he plan to resign. The other declared candidates are new to even to this blog, so let's see their tax policies and their views on Brexit. There is expected a few more candidates, the Foreign Secretary, two former Health Secretaries, thus we have some time to go before the 1922 Committee meets on Monday to decide the rules of the CONTEST. The contest should be quick, the entry requirement should be at least 20 MP supporters, and then the rounds should start on the Wednesday, as to get the the number of candidates down to two, and then the membership can vote.
