Who will become the next Prime Minister of the UK - after Boris Johnson?

Who will become the next Prime Minister of the UK?

I have a special interest in Tom Tugendhat because of his Yiddish-German name.
For me it is  somehow strange to see a very  German word as part of a British family name.
The German pronunciation would be something like: "too-guend-hut".
I have never heard how he pronounces his own name when he speaks English, or how  other British people pronounce his name.

Here is more about the man whose name says that he has "Tugend" - id est virtue.

Tom Tugendhat, the chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, announced his candidacy in The Daily Telegraph on 7 July, highlighting his previous experience in the British Army. He said he would reverse the recent increase in National Insurance rates and cut fuel duty.[116] Several Scottish Conservative MPs supported him, and he wrote in his leadership announcement that he would "stand up for the Union and Scotland's role within it".[117] Before entering politics, Tugendhat had served as an intelligence officer in the Iraq War and the Afghanistan conflict.[118] He became the MP for Tonbridge and Malling in 2015 and supported the UK remaining in the EU during the 2016 membership referendum. He was critical of Johnson, particularly over the fall of Kabul, and did not serve as a minister in his government.[118] He said that lack of ministerial experience wasn't a problem as the role of prime minister was "not a management job, it's about having a vision".[119] The Independent described him as "something of a hawk".[120] He was seen as competing with a potential candidacy from the former foreign secretary Hunt for the support of the moderate One Nation Conservatives faction.[121] Tugendhat pledged to maintain the government's policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda.[119] He said he admired Reagan as his "political hero".

Tugendhat hasn't got a snowball's chance - he barely avoided being eliminated in the second round of voting. It's likely to be Rishi Sunak.

It's odd to have a 'special interest' in a candidate because of their name.

You are a miserable "Admin" without any sense of humour.
You are cowardly enough to insult your members.
You are a disgrace as an  "admin".
As is your idiotic forum.

To answer the op, who stormed off in a childish hissy fit, the nedt PM of England will be a vicious and vile spoofer swho hates the vast majority of their fellow citizens.

We are talking about a bunch of post-Thatcher tories after all.
