When will we find out who the new conservative leader is?

I thought it wasn’t quite so soon, but they seem to be voting tonight. I’ve been working all hours, so out of touch with the news. Thank you.

Around the 20th June I think.

They have a knock out competition next week and the final vote for members for the last two.

Week beginning 22 July. Here’s a graphic from the BBC. Today was just about confirming who is standing (those with at least 8 nominations from Conservative MPs).

A few stages yet. First they have to reduce it to two final candidates and then the membership votes for one or the other. There won't be a new leader until some time towards the end of July.

What a fucking farce the whole process is proving to be. Not one of them vaguely qualified for the job.

Ah thank you. That’s more like I expected.

Wonder what Europe is thinking of all this time wasting... not exactly using our time wisely...

Bloody hell, it's like the X Factor, all these rounds & eliminations!

I would expect several candidates to withdraw if they obviously can’t win after the first round of voting, and assuming two clear front-runners emerge, it may only take a couple of rounds to narrow the field down to the last two candidates so the process may be quicker than expected.

If Johnson is one of the last 2 candidates the other may come under heavy pressure to withdraw because the outcome of the members’ ballot would be seen as a foregone conclusion.

Well, yes, after he's announced a massive bribe for the income group many Tory party members belong to. However, they would be fools to trust hum. He is a serial liar and cheat.
