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.
The comments made by Nadia Whittome, the Labour MP for Nottingham East, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
Liz Truss is gone. Good riddance.
Since 2019, the Tories have given us:
– A PM who partied while people died, breaking his own laws, and lied about it
– A PM who crashed the economy within weeks by cutting taxes for the rich
Enough is enough. #GeneralElectionNow
The comments made by James Cleverly, the Foreign Secretary, on 20 October 2022.
Later today I will be announcing further sanctions in response to Iran’s supply of drones for use in attacking civilian targets and critical infrastructure in Ukraine. Iran cannot be allowed to violate UN resolutions.
The comments made by Theresa May, the Conservative MP for Maidenhead, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
The Prime Minister is right to provide a roadmap for an orderly transition.
MPs must now be prepared to compromise. It is our duty to provide sensible, competent government at this critical moment for our country.
