A new Prime Minister is expected to be announced by the end of next week and it will be the second Conservative Party leadership election this year.
There isn’t due to be another general election until at least 2024, after a landslide majority was won by the Conservatives in 2019.
However, calls are mounting after Liz Truss’ resignation and yet another leadership election.
