The race to replace British Prime Minister Boris Johnson increased, with 11 candidates stated their intention to run for nominating, many on the platform reduce taxes and promised to clean up the government after Johnson’s leadership was hit by a crisis.
Sir Graham Brady, Chair of the 1922 Conservative Party Backbencers Committee announced on Monday that a new leader would be announced on September 5, on the same day when the British Parliament returned from his summer recess.
