The race is on to find the next leader of the Tory party and, by extension, the next Prime Minister of the UK. So when can we expect to know who will be taking the wheel of the sinking ship Britannia? Here's every important date you need to know.
June 10
On June 10, the final list of candidates for the role will be confirmed.
Tory candidates have until 17:00 on Monday to enter the race, at which point nominations will officially close.
Eleven candidates are expected to find themselves on the ballot, with odds on Boris Johnson comfortably being the candidate with the majority of support in the party.
June 13
With the nominations closed, all 313 Tory MPs will take part in the first round of voting on candidates. Whoever comes last will be eliminated, and voting will continue.
June 18
The BBC will be hosting a live election debate between the Tory MPs yet to be eliminated. Though this seems a little pointless since the next Prime Minister will effectively be elected by less than 0.2% of the UK's population. Democracy, innit?
Candidates will continue to be whittled away from June 18-20, until only two remain.
However, there is a small catch. In order to move on from the first round of voting, candidates will need to secure the support of at least 16 other MPs, and then 32 votes in the second round.
At the end of this process, the head-to-head challenge begins.
June 22
The first hustings takes place on the 22nd June as postal ballots begin to arrive for Conservative party members across the UK.
July 22
In the week beginning with the 22nd of July, four weeks after Conservative party members started voting, we should find out who the next Prime Minister of the UK will be.
Bow down to your imperial masters, Scotland.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
