After his resignation yesterday, contenders to be the next leader of the Conservative Party and British Prime Minister are scrambling to see if they’ve enough support to launch leadership bids.
Tom Tugendhat appears to have become the first contender to throw his hat in the ring, telling the Telegraph he’s offering a “clean start”.
Attorney General Suella Braverman and Brexiteer Steve Baker have both indicated they’ll run also.

Pat O’Neill who was a Fine Gael representative locally for some time says that it would be better for Ireland if a replacement for Johnson were to be found soon.
