Here are some of the early potential front-runners to replace Boris Johnson as British Prime Minister
The resignations of Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak in the UK yesterday have cast further doubt on the future of Boris Johnson's premiership.Jeremy Hunt
As chairman of the Commons Health Committee, he has used his position to make a number of critical interventions on the government's handling of the pandemic, although his strong support for lockdown measures will not have pleased all Tory MPs.Like Mr Sunak, Mr Javid's resignation caused chaos in Number 10, as the Health Secretary from famously humble beginnings left the government.
He told reporters after his resignation yesterday evening that he was looking forward to spending time with his family - but for how long?Another frontrunner with the bookies, Ms Mordaunt made waves in 2019 as the UK's first female defence secretary before being fired by Mr Johnson shortly after becoming PM.
His calm and measured delivery during televised Covid briefings, and his viral declaration of love for a popular soft drink, will have endeared him to those perhaps not always plugged in to the political goings-on, as well as his resignation on matters of principle. Away from politics, Ms Truss's flair for social media has seen her offer an insight into life outside of Westminster by updating her Instagram account with pictures of her relaxing at the beach, or behind the scenes at official events, though her passions combined to bizarre effect in 2014 when her improbably enthusiastic speech about opening pork markets in Beijing went viral.
