Both men said they did not want to see a 'coronation' Mr Javid also told reporters it was 'clear' Boris Johnson would be one of the final two leadership candidates but he was happy to be in the running Above: Jeremy Hunt arrives for the convention. Last night Mr Stewart questioned whether Conservative party members would accept only Mr Johnson's name going forward to them. Mr Stewart said as he arrived at the event: 'We should have learned from the last time round coronations are not the way to do democratic politics' Last night he also questioned whether Conservative members would accept a 'coronation' of Mr Johnson : 'Please write to your MP if you think this is not a good idea and please RT if you think anyone else might think this is not a good idea.' Boris Johnson may be the only Conservative Party leadership candidate to be put to the party's membership in the ongoing leadership election under a secret plan hatched by senior ministers to avoid damaging internal fighting Mr Raab also attacked his plan for a tax cut for people earning over £50,000 - contrasting it with his own proposal to help those on low income.
