A full baker’s dozen is in the running to become the next Tory leader, with even more expected to declare before the deadline of June 10th. But the party will whittle them down to just two, who will then be put to the members. So who will the final two be, and what will the coming weeks of the contest look like? In this week’s cover, James Forsyth takes a look at the runners and riders and their chances. On the podcast, he’s joined by Rob Wilson, former Tory MP who worked for Jeremy Hunt.
Now, it’s not the first time that Boris Johnson has run for leadership, but this time, he’s leaner, he’s had a haircut, and, Lara Prendergast writes in this week’s magazine, is even considering going vegan, all thanks to his new partner, 30 year old Carrie Symonds.
