The race to become Britain’s next PM

THERESA MAY stepped down as leader of the Conservative Party on June 7th, but she will remain as prime minister until her successor is chosen. The first round of voting among Tory MPs took place on June 13th. In the final round on June 20th, only Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt survived to progress to the last stage of the contest, a ballot of the 160,000 or so members of the party. The winner will be announced in the week beginning July 22nd.
