This is when you'll find out who the next Prime Minister of the UK will be

The race to become the UK's next Prime Minister to replace Theresa May is still on.

A number of votes by MPs have taken place, but the big vote by Conservative Party members is still taking place.

Ten Tory MP hopefuls threw their hat in the ring back on June 10.

That bunch was then whittled down to both Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt. Voting has since been passed over to the party's members.

Across England, 16 hustings have taken place to help members decide who should lead the UK, with a meeting in the north west on June 29, and a final meeting this week in London.

Michael Gove was knocked out with 75 votes.
