The comments made by Dominic Raab, the Conservative MP for Esher and Walton, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
I back Rishi Sunak to be our next PM. He has the plan and credibility to:
– restore financial stability, help get inflation down and deliver sustainable tax cuts over time; and
– unite the Conservatives by bringing the best talent into govt to deliver for the British people.

The comments made by Brendan Clarke-Smith, the Conservative MP for Bassetlaw, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
We need somebody who can turn the tide and avert the disaster of a Labour government. We need Boris Johnson.
He won the support of the public with a historic 80 seat majority. He won the support of the party. He is a winner.
It’s time for the parliamentary party to unite and come together for the sake of the country.
Together we can achieve so much more and build on the mandate we were given in 2019.
That’s why I’m urging Boris Johnson to put his name forward.
The comments made by Shaun Bailey, the Conservative MP for West Bromwich West, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
It’s a simple one for me. It’s time to #BringBackBoris [Johnson]. The members want him, he won the support of my communities and for the constituents I speak to, they want him back.
The comments made by Andrew Bowie, the Conservative MP for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
There is only one person that can unite this party, get the economy on a firm footing. Only one with the plan to move us forward. And that is the same person I believed in over the Summer. It has to be Rishi.
The comments made by John Glen, the Conservative MP for Salisbury and South Wiltshire, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
Rishi Sunak is the most qualified candidate to provide leadership to navigate through the deep economic challenges we face. He will deliver stability, growth and prosperity and unite our country.
The comments made by Sir Roger Gale, the Conservative MP for North Thanet, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
We need to remember that Mr Johnson is still under investigation by the Privileges Committee for potentially misleading the House.
Until that investigation is complete and he is found guilty or cleared, there should be no possibility of him returning to Government.
The comments made by Stephen McPartland, the Conservative MP for Stevenage, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
I agree with Penny Mordaunt we must keep calm and carry on. We live in a parliamentary democracy and if a new Prime Minister can command a majority in the House of Commons, then they have the constitutional right to serve until the next general election legally has to take place.
The comments made by Andy Street, the Conservative Mayor of the West Midlands, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
This is a complete mess, and I know people across the West Midlands feel utterly let down at a time when they face immense pressures in their daily lives.
We are all crying out for strong and consistent leadership, and I dearly hoped we’d get it.
But now the party has one last chance to pull itself together, unite behind a new leader, and deliver what it was elected to do.
People outside Westminster have no interest in personal political ambition, they just crave good leadership, help and support at this time.
So whoever is elected leader needs to work with us in the West Midlands to provide exactly that. My job, once again, will be to ensure that happens.
The comments made by Andrew Stephenson, the Conservative MP for Pendle, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
During the last leadership contest as Party Chairman I received countless e-mails from Conservative members wanting Boris [Johnson] on the ballot. Constitutionally that was impossible. Now it isn’t.
