Potential Conservative Party leaders have been promoting themselves, along with their wives and families, as contenders jostle for Prime Minister Theresa May’s position, which is expected to be vacant soon. Former International Development Secretary Dominic Raab, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Brexit Secretary Rory Stewart are in the running. All have stressed their family commitments in what political analysts say is a bid to differentiate themselves from perceptions of the complex personal life of another potential leadership candidate, Boris Johnson. To accompany his leadership bid, Raab is also pushing policies including paternity rights and a promise to cut income tax.
