一 | Europhile Conservative MPs have poor prospects in the race already underway to replace Prime Minister Boris Johnson, according to a British academic.,With BoJo making a slow-motion exit from Downing Street, ministers and backbenchers alike are throwing their hats into the ring for the dual role of party leader and PM.,Johnson announced his resignation as Tory leader on Thursday — pre-empting mooted moves to cut the 'grace period' following an unsuccessful no-confidence vote, which he narrowly survived in June. The famous 'BoJo mojo' was finally overcome by the scandal over Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher drunkenly groping two men at an exclusive private member's club.,Each candidate to replace BoJo needs the nomination of at least eight fellow Tory MPs. Hot tips so far include Johnson loyalists Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, along with Junior Trade Policy Minister Penny Mordaunt — who surprised some by not joining the wave of protest resignations from government — and Rishi Sunak, who led the revolt by quitting as chancellor.,Alistair Jones, associate professor of politics at Leicester's De Montfort University, told Sputnik that the leadership contest to replace the "figurehead" Johnson was still up in the air.,"The situation is going to be very interesting in British politics as we will look to see how many Conservative MPs want to stand to become the party leader and ultimately Prime Minister," he says.,“Now, within the Cabinet, we will see the likes of Liz Truss, [and Home Secretary] Priti Patel putting their names forward, also most likely [Deputy PM] Dominic Raab. Outside of the Cabinet, former minister Michael Gove will also probably put his name forward and then there'll be some other outsiders who are not in the government, such as Penny Mordaunt and Steve Baker.”,But strident remainer and anti-Russia war hawk Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, was fastest out of the traps with five nominations under his belt already.,Professor Jones says that Mordaunt and Steve Baker, who is the deputy chairman of the anti-lockdown COVID Recovery Group and former chairman of the pro-Brexit European Research Group, are the ones to watch.,"Both of them are ardent Brexiteers and it is likely to be an ardent Brexiteer that is going to be elected as leader of the Conservative Party," he points out.,Steve Baker sets out why he would make a good Prime Minister, saying he is very popular with Conservative Home members and he's been told he's popular with the public.Piers challenges him that he might have to "acknowledge reality".@piersmorgan | #PiersMorganUncensored pic.twitter.com/e9qWS1Ae2k— Piers Morgan Uncensored (@PiersUncensored) July 7, 2022,The Eurosceptic underdogs may overtake heavyweights like Jeremy Hunt, the former foreign secretary who was runner-up to Johnson in the 2019 leadership contest to replace Theresa May.,"Jeremy Hunt, someone that people would like to see possibly elected as party leader as a safe pair of hands because he wasn't a Brexiteer, is not likely to go far," Jones says. "So the question will be how much infighting there is going to be within the Conservative Party until they get a leader elected, and then the extent to which that leader is able to unify the party.",BoJo’s Resignation: How Will Johnson’s Successor Be Picked?11:03 GMT,The academic stresses that leadership contests are always extremely polarizing. "You either support candidate number one or candidate number two when you get to the last two and quite often the two do not see eye to eye," he says.,"There could be an awful hangover for the Conservative Party after this leadership election," Jones warns. "The question will be the extent to which Boris Johnson's legacy is a divided party, and that stays with the party until the next general election" — which might not be until January 2025.。 The much-awaited trailer for the upcoming romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has finally dropped, creating a buzz across social media. Starring the much-loved duo of Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, the film looks like a refreshing addition to the holiday season. The trailer promises a perfect blend of humour, modern romance, and emotional depth, making it one of the most anticipated releases of the year. The trailer introduces us to Rehaan (Kartik Aaryan), a fun-loving NRI from LA who goes by "Ray," and Rumi (Ananya Panday), a best-selling author. Their paths cross during a luxury trip where they find themselves forced to share a yacht leading to some hilarious "enemies-to-lovers" tension. While the first half of the trailer is packed with humour and picturesque locations, the second half takes an emotional turn. The story dives into the complexities of modern commitment and challenges the traditional societal expectation that only women should leave their homes after marriage. It’s a refreshing take that balances light-hearted rom-com energy with a meaningful social conversation. The film marks a significant reunion for Kartik and Ananya after their successful stint in Pati Patni Aur Woh. Adding immense weight to the star cast are veteran stars Neena Gupta and Jackie Shroff, who play key roles in this family-centric drama. The film is directed by National Award-winning director Sameer Vidwans, known for his sensitive storytelling in Satyaprem Ki Katha. The project is a collaboration between Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures, featuring a soulful musical album by Vishal-Shekhar. Fans have been eagerly waiting for this movie, especially given the chemistry between the leads and the catchy tracks like Hum Dono already climbing the charts. Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is set for a theatrical release this Christmas, December 25, 2025. It’s the perfect festive treat for families and rom-com lovers alike.Also Read: Karan Johar & Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri To Release On This Date。
