(11 Jun 2019) Another high-profile lawmaker from Britain's Conservative party launched her campaign for the party leadership - and the keys to 10 Downing St - on Tuesday.
Andrea Leadsom quit as leader of the House of Commons last month, triggering the downfall of Theresa May as prime minister.
At a formal campaign launch in London on Tuesday, Leadsom set out her pitch to take over the top job.
She's among ten Conservative lawmakers in contention for the post. Others include Home Secretary Sajid Javid and former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
Leadsom made clear she's determined that Britain should leave the European Union by 31 October, describing this as "a hard, red line."
She added that she was not proposing a no-deal Brexit, but stressed that Parliament would not be able to prevent it.
She said it was clear that in a no deal Brexit there would be an element of short term disruption "but is also absolutely clear that ramping up preparations for no deal by the end of October, combined with putting in place sensible measures we can absolutely minimise the disruption."
Leadsom ran against May for Tory leader in 2016, quitting the race after receiving harsh criticism for saying motherhood helped make her qualified to lead. May has no children.
Leadsom rejects May's divorce agreement and says Britain should leave the EU on October 31 with a series of mini-deals to ensure trade and travel can continue.
Critics say this is wishful thinking since the bloc will not agree.
