Notable stories

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"[3] plot by Michael Gove.

During the leadership election, Reaction published an article[4] by a former colleague of Andrea Leadsom, Robert Stephens, alleging that she had misstated the extent of her roles in the financial sector.[5] This was the first of a series of revelations[6] that lead to Leadsom withdrawing from the race to become leader of the Conservative Party and UK Prime Minister.[7][8]
