We face great challenges at home and abroad.
I said we needed experience at the top of Government and I stand by that.
The candidate with the most experience is clearly Rishi Sunak. He can count on my full support as our Prime Minister and I will be voting for him.

The comments made by Royston Smith, the Conservative MP for Southampton Itchen, on Twitter on 24 October 2022.
If we are to deliver for the British people, the Conservative Party needs to show determination and unity. I have therefore decided that it is in the national interest to support Rishi Sunak to become Prime Minister and deliver for our country.

The comments made by Robert Buckland, the Conservative MP for South Swindon, on Twitter on 24 October 2022.
Achieving maximum economic stability is in our national interest and must be the number one priority for our next Prime Minister. I believe Rishi Sunak is best placed to do this. We are one Conservative Party and we must now come together to deliver for our country.

The comments made by Andrew Stephenson, the Conservative MP for Pendle, on Twitter on 24 October 2022.
Now Boris Johnson has ruled himself out it is essential that all Conservatives unite around a new leader & help them tackle the challenges we face.
It’s clear the best person to unite the Party is Rishi Sunak. He can count on my full support as our Prime Minister and I will be voting for him.

The comments made by Lucy Allan, the Conservative MP for Telford, on Twitter on 24 October 2022.
Only Rishi Sunak has the support in #Parliament to give us the stable government the country so badly needs – we must unite and give him our full support to ensure he succeeds.

The comments made by Priti Patel, the Conservative MP for Witham, on Twitter on 24 October 2022.
In these difficult times for our country we must unite by putting public service first and work together. We care about our country and with the enormous challenges upon us we must put political differences aside to give Rishi Sunak the best chance of succeeding.

The comments made by Brendan Clarke-Smith, the Conservative MP for Bassetlaw, on Twitter on 24 October 2022.
I am disappointed that Boris Johnson has pulled out of the race to lead the Conservatives. Having secured the nominations necessary, he would have no doubt won in a ballot of party members.
However it is also important to command the support of the parliamentary party and he therefore took the dignified decision to put what is best for the country ahead of himself. I would now encourage others to do the same.
