Boris Johnson was announced as the leader of Britain's governing Conservative Party and the country's next prime minister on Tuesday (Jul 23).
Duncan revealed he had sought to force a vote on Johnson's leadership on Tuesday - before he enters Downing Street - but was blocked by Commons Speaker Johnson Bercow.
And retiring Justice Secretary David Gauke said that while he disagreed with Johnson's strategy, he was willing to give him a chance. MPs are expected to go on their summer holidays on Friday, giving Johnson some breathing room over the summer to try to get a new Brexit deal.
