The governing Conservative Party has ordered a lightning-fast race that aims to have a new prime minister in place within a week.
LONDON — Several British lawmakers, including scandal-tarnished former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, jockeyed for support Friday to become the country’s next leader following the implosion of Liz Truss’ historically short-lived government.
Truss quit on Thursday after a turbulent 45 days, conceding that she could not deliver on her tax-cutting economic package, which she had to abandon after it cause turmoil in financial markets. But former Conservative leader Michael Howard implored the party not to return to the “psychodrama” of the Johnson era.
“We know the public don’t like him, he can’t govern, he definitely can’t unify his party. It will be a disaster. It will fail,” Ford said. Popular Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, who was touted as a possible contender, ruled himself out of the race on Friday.He was able to shrug off lapses that would have sunk many politicians, surviving even after he was fined by police for attending one of a series of illegal parties in government buildings while the U.K. was under lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic.
