The next prime minister of the UK will be either Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss, after the Tories narrowed the field to the final two options.

The final round of votes eliminated Penny Mordaunt from the contest to find a new leader for the United Kingdom.

PENNY MORDAUNT WAS KNOCKED OUT IN THE FINAL CONSERVATIVE PARLIAMENTARY ROUND

Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss now enter six-weeks of hustings, where they will attempt to convince the Conservative membership at large that they are the right person to enter Downing Street.

FORMER CHANCELLOR RISHI SUNAK IS IN THE RUNNING TO BECOME THE FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF ASIAN MINORITY ETHNIC BACKGROUND

Boris Johnson resigned as UK Prime Minister in early July, but remained on as interim prime minister until his replacement could be found.

The Conservative Party membership will now vote on whether Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss should lead the party.

The results of these votes – which are likely to be postal ballots – won’t be announced until September 5th.

At which point, the United Kingdom will either have its third female prime minister, or its first prime minister of Asian minority ethnic background.

SpaceX plans a $25 billion IPO in 2026, potentially valuing the company at over $1 trillion.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to raise over $25 billion through an initial public offering in 2026. The move could value the space exploration company at over $1 trillion, fueled by its Starlink internet network and Starship rocket programme.

The IPO discussions are underway with major banks, targeting a launch around June or July. This comes as the IPO market experiences a revival after a three-year slowdown, attracting attention from both institutional and retail investors.

SpaceX is currently the second most-valuable private startup after OpenAI. While investors are excited, some remain cautious about Musk’s ability to manage multiple high-profile companies simultaneously.

Trump admin proposes tourists disclose social media profiles for security under visa waiver program, impacting 42 countries.

The Trump administration has proposed new rules requiring tourists visiting the United States under the visa waiver program to disclose their social media profiles. This applies to citizens from countries including Australia, the UK, and France, who would need to provide five years of social media history.

The requirement specifically targets travelers using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which covers 42 countries. US Customs and Border Protection says the move is necessary to enhance national security.

Public comments on the proposal will be open for 60 days, and full implementation could take several months. It’s still unclear whether private messages would be included or if only public profiles are required.
