The comments made by Nadine Dorries, the Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
If Rishi Sunak were to win, the focus of the privileges committee I am absolutely certain would move straight onto Rishi Sunak and what he knew – in order to embolden Labours call for a general election. With Rishi we will be in general election territory within weeks.
The comments made by Nadhim Zahawi, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.
I’m backing Boris. He got the big calls right, whether it was ordering more vaccines ahead of more waves of covid, arming Ukraine early against the advice of some, or stepping down for the sake of unity. But now, Britain needs him back. We need to unite to deliver on our manifesto.
When I was Chancellor, I saw a preview of what Boris 2.0 would look like. He was contrite and honest about his mistakes. He’d learned from those mistakes how he could run No 10 & the country better.
With a unified team behind him, he is the one to lead us to victory and prosperity.
The comments made by Alastair Campbell, the former Director of Communications at Downing Street, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
To think the poor guy had to pretend he flies economy – hard not to feel sorry for him. Until you remember he is a lying, lawbreaking, immoral charlatan who has trashed the UK reputation, made us poorer, weaker and less respected in the world, and cares only about himself.
The comments made by Paul Holmes, the Conservative MP for Eastleigh, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
We need stability and experience at the top of our Government to get us through these tough times, Rishi Sunak has the track record of delivery. Therefore I can confirm I’ve nominated him for Leader of the Conservative Party and will be voting for him on Monday.
The comments made by Chris Loder, the Conservative MP for West Dorset, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
This week, West Dorset people have made it clear to me that political and economical stability is the most important priority for me as their MP in my decision for the next Conservative Leader. It is clear to me that the person best placed to do this is Rishi Sunak and I am very pleased to support him with my vote on Monday.
The comments made by Gary Streeter, the Conservative MP for South West Devon, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
David Frost nails it: we cannot go back to Boris [Johnson].
The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative MP for Saffron Walden, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
The party needs a unifying figure to do what’s right for the UK. At this moment, I believe that person is Rishi. I’m a fan of Boris but his return, given all that’s happened would not bring people together. We all need to set aside our differences and work for the greater good.
The comments made by Tom Hunt, the Conservative MP for Ipswich, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
Good chat with Rishi Sunak yesterday. Covered a number of issues. Always felt he’s a hugely impressive individual. Right now more than ever we need stability and economic competence after the chaos of the past few weeks. Rishi is the only man for the job. He has my full support.
The comments made by Alun Cairns, the Conservative MP for Vale of Glamorgan, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
I will back Rishi Sunak this week. This is a time that requires financial stability and experience. Rishi will unite the Party and our nation.
The comments made by Oliver Heald, the Conservative MP for North East Hertfordshire, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
I am supporting Rishi Sunak for Leadership of the Conservative Party. He is experienced, has good judgment and will help the country in difficult times. #RishiSunak
