No-confidence vote: the contenders to replace Prime Minister Theresa May

CNN  

London CNN — British Prime Minister Theresa May is relying on her fellow Conservative Members of Parliament to back her during Wednesday’s no-confidence vote, but her battle to retain the leadership of the Tory party will be weighed against a host of potential suitors. The 54-year-old called the Prime Minister’s proposed Brexit deal “a legal lobster pot in which we will get trapped.” His biggest bone of contention with May’s Brexit plan? BEN STANSALL/AFP/AFP/Getty Images David Davis A hardcore Brexiter, Davis, 69, resigned from his post as Brexit Secretary in protest against May’s original Brexit proposal, the Chequers plan – which the Prime Minister presented to her Cabinet in July. Last April, Rudd resigned as home secretary after it was discovered her department wrongly deported immigrants from Caribbean countries who had been in the UK for decades, in what became known as the “Windrush scandal.” Despite this, Rudd’s support for May never wavered and she was last month given another Cabinet position, ofWork and Pensions Secretary,following the resignation of Esther McVey.
