It’s not quite as crowded as the Democratic presidential primary, but the number of contenders to succeed Theresa May as the UK’s prime minister is growing.
British Health Secretary Matt Hancock on Saturday became the latest candidate for the job to oversee the UK’s chaotic and long-stalled Brexit.
He joins flamboyant former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who has said he will take Britain out of the EU on Oct. 31 even if there is no deal with EU leaders. International Development Secretary Rory Stewart, who said Saturday he would not serve in a cabinet under Johnson, is also eyeing the top job.
May announced Friday that she is stepping down as the Conservative Party leader on June 7.
