UK leadership race finalists woo Tory grassroots Britain’s leadership contest starts a month-long nationwide tour on Saturday as Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt each seek to win over grassroots Conservatives in their bid to become prime minister.

The leadership battle is likely to feature pledges from both Johnson and Hunt to get Britain out of the European Union safely

London’s Metropolitan Police said it responded to a call from a local resident but that “all occupants of the address… were all safe and well”. But the race might ultimately turn into a popularity contest between Johnson – pugnacious but affable with a tendency for gaffes – and the more diplomatic and low-key Hunt.

“Finally, you have young Conservatives, including students. They are predominantly men and boys,” Parris wrote. A poll for The Daily Telegraph – the paper for which Johnson writes a column – showed six out of 10 Brexit Party backers jumping over to the Conservatives should the man known simply as Boris take charge.Hunt and Johnson will appear Saturday in Birmingham, central England, for the first of 16 “hustings” – occasionally rowdy events where candidates field audience questions – three days before the third anniversary of the Brexit vote.
