Jeremy Hunt new favourite to replace Johnson

The latest betting odds put the former health secretary ahead of Liz Truss in the race to replace Boris, but it's a wide-open race.

Jeremy Hunt has taken over as the new favourite to replace Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservative Party, according to the latest betting odds.

The chance of Boris Johnson being replaced as prime minister in 2022 has now risen to 46 per cent, up from 33 per cent in the last week, according to the Smarkets betting exchange.

Hunt has now taken over as favourite to be the next Tory leader.

Liz Truss has dropped back into second place with Ben Wallace, Tom Tugendhat and Penny Mordaunt following close behind in what looks a wide-open race.

Local elections odds

Meanwhile, the latest prices for next week’s local elections suggest a high chance of some key Labour victories including the London councils of Wandsworth and Barnet, as well as the newly created Croydon mayoralty.

Smarkets head of political markets, Matthew Shaddick, said: “Next week’s local elections do not look very promising for the Conservatives, and Johnson may well come under even more pressure if the betting is anything to go by.

“The Tories look set to lose some notable contests in London and may well fall back into third place in Scotland.

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
