Timetable to replace Boris Johnson is set
The race to enter Downing Street to become the new Tory leader is set to begin
The race to choose a new Conservative leader – and therefore the new prime minister of the United Kingdom – will start on Tuesday 12 July.
And the date this new leader will be known, and Mr Johnson will be leaving Downing Street?
That will be September 5.
A crowded field of 11 candidates have put their hats in the ring so far.
Liz Truss, the former Foreign Secretary, was the latest to declare after she contributed an article in the UK’s Telegraph newspaper on Monday.
The outgoing prime minister – Boris Johnson – has so far refused to endorse any candidate.
“I wouldn’t want to damage anybody’s chances by offering my support.”

Tax cuts seem to be the order of the day.
Every candidate who is standing has said that tax cuts would be part of their platform in one way or another.
The justifications centre on their desires to tackle the cost of living crisis.
But Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has hit out at the Tory leadership campaign, referring to the tax cuts as “fantasy economics.”
“Over the weekend, the contenders have made more than £200bn of unfunded spending commitments. Let that sink in”

11 candidates are current running.
This includes Rishi Sunak – who was Chancellor of the Exchequer during Boris Johnson’s tenure as Prime Minister.
Various polls published across multiple UK newspapers have Rishi Sunak as the current favourite – and the final battle will be between Rishi Sunak – and whoever is left to face him.
A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.
The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.
“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
