A number of the contenders look set to fall short, and voting later this week will whittle the field down further. “Without Brexit, there will be no Conservative government and maybe no Conservative party,” Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt said at his campaign launch.

While the leadership battle unfolds, May remains prime minister.
