Potential successors to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson rushed to differentiate themselves from an increasingly crowded field on Sunday as the governing Conservative Party was expected to set a tight timetable for the election.Candidates released slick campaign videos on social media and appeared on Sunday morning political talk shows to make their cases to the public. Several promised tax cuts, appealing to rank-and-file Conservative party members for whom low taxes are a mantra.Johnson announced his resignation on Thursday after more than 50 members of his Cabinet and lower level officials resigned from his government, many citing concerns that his ethical lapses had undermined the government's credibility.That triggered the internal Conservative Party contest to pick a new party leader. Under Britain's parliamentary government, the next party leader will automatically become prime minister without the need for a general election.International Trade Minister Penny Mordaunt was the latest to announce her bid on Sunday, saying the U.K. "needs to become a little less about the leader and a lot more about the ship." Former health secretaries Sajid Javid and Jeremy Hunt joined one of the most open leadership races in recent history late Saturday.Other contenders include frontrunner Rishi Sunak, the former Treasury chief, and Nadim Zahawi, who took Sunak's job as chancellor of the exchequer last week. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss hasn't formally announced but is expected to join the race.The race comes after Johnson, 58, was brought down by a series of scandals, the most recent involving his decision to promote a lawmaker who had been accused of sexual misconduct to a senior position in his government.An influential Conservative party committee is expected to lay out the rules for the leadership contest on Monday, with news reports suggesting that Conservative lawmakers will narrow the field to two before Parliament breaks for its summer recess on July 21. Party members around the country will then vote on the final choice before the end of August, the Times of London reported.Johnson has said he will remain prime minister until his successor is chosen. But many want him to go now, with even some Conservative politicians worried that he could do mischief even as a caretaker prime minister.As politicians took to the airwaves to endorse candidates on Sunday, many sought to distance their favorites from the turmoil of the Johnson years by stressing traits such as "integrity'' and "honesty."Karan Bilimoria, the former president of the Confederation of British Industry, said the decision should be made as quickly as possible because businesses that are still struggling to overcome the impact of the pandemic and are now facing the growing possibility of a recession need help now."We have got to get through this period as quickly as possible and find a good leader who can then rebuild trust,'' he told Times Radio. "It is rebuilding the trust with the country as well. The country has lost that trust and business is very worried."- By DANICA KIRKA Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Making a decision to go all in and live life on your terms isn’t as easy as it sounds. We all have responsibilities and we all need to make a living but some things are bigger than conforming to everyday life. If your why is big enough then going all in will be easy, in fact it won’t even feel like that, it will feel like a natural thing to do and your progression will be a matter of course.Our guest today has done just that. He finished his commerce degree and 2 days after he was offered a full time role with a great company he was ready to exit the 9 to 5 and take on the world as an entrepreneur.The trouble was he had no experience running a business or developing the websites and software that was required to bring his ideas to life.Karan did it anyway, fast forward a couple of years and he is now the owner of 3 businesses and only works on projects that he loves and others that he is deeply passionate about.He has fostered a company culture of fun, inclusion and equality and is certainly an up and coming entrepreneur to watch closely.Your going to love his story of just doing it and going all in. There are some lessons in there for us all with this approach and attitude. I’m excited he’s here so please help me in welcoming Karan Bilimoria.www.instagram.com/karanbilimoriawww.flairr.iowww.socialmindr.comwww.thefounderlink.com
Karan Bilimoria is one of the great success stories of recent years – he came from a background in the British Empire, where he grew up around the fearsome Gurkha soldiers, to create the internationally successful Cobra beer brand, and eventually ended up as an independent member of Britain’s House of Lords. In this week’s […]
Britain and India are two countries united by 200 years of shared history but now with an ever growing distance in ties. India is a rising global economic powerhouse: Britain a former imperial power in search of a global boost to its ailing economy. When the British prime-minister David Cameron visited India in February, he took a 100 strong trade delegation with him. Amongst them was the Indian born British entrepreneur, Karan Bilimoria, who was founding chairman of the UK-India Business Council. Is Britain becoming more irrelevant to India today?
Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the businessman Karan Bilimoria - who set up production of a beer designed to be drunk with Indian food, imported it to Britain - and is now selling it back to India. As a student at Cambridge, Karan missed Indian food and used to eat at restaurants several times a week. But he disliked the gassy lagers they served – finding he could neither eat nor drink as much as he would have liked. He decided to develop a beer that was smoother and less gassy - especially designed to be drunk with Indian food. He worked with a brewer in Mysore, India, and initially they prepared to market Panther Beer - but a last-minute stint of market research led to them changing the name to Cobra Beer. It has won a string of liquor industry awards, is sold in more than 30 countries and the company is expected to turn over more than £60 million this year. But when Karan first started on his business career, his family were horrified. He had already qualified as a chartered accountant and had just graduated in law from Cambridge, but instead of a stable profession he started to import polo sticks, then began trading in up-market ladies' clothes. His father urged him to find a more solid career, but Karan persisted, delivering crates of Cobra Beer to Indian restaurants from the back of his battered 2CV. It took more than five years for the brand to establish itself, but it is now a familiar site not just in restaurants, but on supermarket and off-licence shelves.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong Book: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho Alternative to Bible: The Gathas of Zorathushtra Luxury: Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister videos
