Notable stories
[edit]On 30 June 2016, Boris Johnson withdrew from the Conservative Party leadership election, Iain Martin published an account of the run up to the unexpected announcement that day describing it as a "cuckoo in the nest" plot by Michael Gove.[5]
During the leadership election, Reaction published an article by a former colleague of Andrea Leadsom, Robert Stephens, alleging that she had misstated the extent of her roles in the financial sector.[6][7] This was the first of a series of revelations that lead to Leadsom withdrawing from the contest to become leader of the Conservative Party and UK Prime Minister.[8][9][10]
