The UKs 1922 committee chair:

  • Nominations to replace PM Johnson will open and close tomorrow
  • 1st ballot will be on Wednesday
  • 2nd ballot will be on Thursday
  • MPS will need support of 20 lawmakers on Tuesday and 30 on Wednesday
  • results will be announced on the September 5
  • will have successive ballots until we have a final 2
  • might reach a final 2 on Monday

That's the process.

There are currently 360 Tory backbenchers.

The current chair is Sir Graham Brady.
