Felt so good to see thousands and thousands of Brits marching to #RejoinEU with @youngeuromove yesterday. Some day soon we will bring back what belongs together: the whole European family ?? ??
The comments made by James Heappey, the Conservative MP for Wells, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
I’ve been agonising all weekend knowing that our choice as next PM must bring together our divided party & restore stability to our Government. All wings of our party will need to work together after contest to achieve that but I’m supporting Rishi Sunak to lead us in doing so.
The comments made by Luke Evans, the Conservative MP for Bosworth, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
Nominations close tomorrow for the next Leader of the Conservative Party. To be a candidate you need to have the nominations of over 100 fellow Conservative MPs. I have nominated Penny Mordaunt to be the next Party leader.
We’ll find out at 2pm tomorrow if Penny has made it onto the ballot paper by having enough support, and who else made it.
As always, I will keep you posted on what happens next.
The comments made by Jacob Rees-Mogg, a supporter of the Boris Johnson campaign, made in an interview to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg on 23 October 2022.
I have been speaking to Boris Johnson and clearly he is going to stand as there is a great deal of support for him.
The comments made by Michelle Donelan, the Conservative MP for Chippenham, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
Earlier today I publicly backed Rishi Sunak to be our next Prime Minister. The country is facing many challenges – now is the time for unity, stability, delivery and relentless focus.
It is crucial we come together and unite behind this common mission.
The comments made by Jeremy Corbyn, the Independent MP for North Islington, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
A “tough choice” is deciding whether to feed your children or heat your home.
Austerity is not a tough choice. It is a political choice to wage class warfare on the most vulnerable.
The right choice is taxing the rich, public ownership, and a redistribution of wealth and power.
The comments made by Will Quince, the Conservative MP for Colchester, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
Having spoken with Rishi Sunak I remain convinced that he is the right person to lead us through these challenging times and onto a brighter future.
The comments made by Mike Wood, the Conservative MP for Dudley South, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
We need a PM with the experience and credibility to meet the huge economic challenges facing the world. Stabilising the economy means protecting people’s jobs and mortgages and giving people greater security. No other candidate can match Rishi Sunak.
The comments made by Nus Ghani, the Conservative MP for Wealden, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
Both Penny [Mordaunt] and Rishi [Sunak] are credible candidates & a credit to the party. But we have tested the public’s patience enough. We need to unite and focus on delivery with integrity, professionalism & accountability. I’m backing Rishi. Leave party division behind and focus on the country.
The comments made by Suella Braverman, the Conservative MP for Fareham, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
If we are to serve the British people successfully, the Conservative Party needs unity, stability and the skills to fix the challenges we face.
That is why I am proud to support Rishi Sunak to be our Leader and Prime Minister.
