UK CONSERVATIVES VOTE ON NEW LEADER

Conservative lawmakers are voting in a second round in the contest to decide their next leader and therefore UK Prime Minister.

The candidate that comes last - and any that doesn't receive 33 votes from fellow MPs - will be knocked out of the race.

Further ballots will continue this week until there are two contenders left - that pair will then face a vote from Conservative Party members.

Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is the clear favourite.

Rival candidate Dominic Raab is still refusing to rule out shutting down Parliament to force through a 'no deal' Brexit if that's required to guarantee a leaving date of October 31st.

IN: "I think...
OUT: ...WTO terms."
DUR: 17 seconds
