Contenders for leadership in Britain's Conservative Party jostle for attention as the race narrowed into a contest to seize the mantle of challenger to front-runner Boris Johnson.
Contenders for leadership in Britain's Conservative Party jostled for attention Monday as the race narrowed into a contest to seize the mantle of challenger to front-runner Boris Johnson.
The contest will choose a replacement for Prime Minister Theresa May, who stepped down as party leader earlier this month after failing to secure Parliament's approval for her European Union divorce deal. Unlike his more polished challengers, Johnson's appeal comes in part from his rumpled suits, unruly hair and colorful — if sometimes offensive — turns of phrase. He has called Papua New Guineans cannibals and once compared Muslim women who wear face-covering veils to the sturdy red"letter boxes" on Britain's streets.
"Hopefully someone will summon up some Churchillian courage and come along too. #intothelionsden," Hunt said.
