Last week, Boris Johnson finally packed his bags. Or, at least, he started to. The Tory PM – who is credited with ‘getting Brexit done’, and broadly having made a decent fist of COVID and the UK response to the war in Ukraine – was eventually beset with scandals, as well as a growing loss of confidence in his leadership. What eventually did for him was a deluge of resignations led by his Chancellor and Health Secretary. At the time of writing, eight candidates are now in the running to replace Johnson as party leader and, by default, Prime Minister: Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, Penny Mordaunt, Rishi Sunak, Tom Tugendhat, Liz Truss and Nadhim Zahawi.
