So, the next Tory leadership election will be happening October 28th. Liz Truss will be "caretaker" (And who will take care of her in the meanwhile?) until then.

As for who will run in that election, here's a little list from what I found so far. I will update this post as new information will come out:

Will run for PM: Declined to run:
Boris Johnson (reported by The Times, not confirmed yet) Tom Tugendhat
Kemi Badenoch (expected from tweet, unconfirmed) Michael Gove (ruled out by Tory leadership)
Suella Braverman (expected from tweet, unconfirmed) Jeremy Hunt
Rishi Sunak

Also, Nicola Sturgeon rubs in the fact that Truss never met with any devolved government by saying that she'll wait for the 5th Tory PM during her tenure as FM then instead...
