The comments made by Richard Bacon, the Conservative MP for South Norfolk, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
I am backing Rishi Sunak to be Conservative Leader and Prime Minister because he will lead a government we can trust to provide stability, competence, good judgement and strong leadership.
The comments made by Stephen McPartland, the Conservative MP for Stevenage, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
One of the many emails from local people urging Boris Johnson to step forward. I have listened & put my nomination in for him to be our Prime Minister. #BringBackBoris
The comments made by Caroline Nokes, the Conservative MP for Romsey and Southampton North, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
I’ve been listening to my constituents over the last 36 hours, in surgery yesterday, in The Hundred in Romsey in the rain, by email and phone – they overwhelmingly want economic competence and stability, they’ve told me they’re #Ready4Rishi and so am I.
The comments made by Sally-Ann Hart, the Conservative MP for Hastings and Rye, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
MPs and members of the Party need to support someone with experience as well as sensible, someone who is not marmite, someone who is decent with compassion, intelligence and integrity, someone who is used to being on the frontline in incredibly stressful situations.
We have not got the time to allow someone to find their feet. We need someone who can hit the ground running. That someone is Rishi Sunak and I am supporting him.
The comments made by David Johnston, the Conservative MP for Wantage and Didcot, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
I’ll be backing Rishi Sunak next week. He has the right combination of ability, experience and judgement to tackle the challenges the country is facing at the moment, particularly the economic challenges – as he showed during Covid and in forecasting the events of recent weeks.
The comments made by Selaine Saxby, the Conservative MP for North Devon, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
I stand by what I said in the summer and believe Rishi Sunak is the only person who can effectively manage the economy and lead us through the many issues we currently face.
The comments made by Steve Barclay, the Conservative MP for North East Cambridgeshire, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
I’m backing Rishi Sunak to be leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister. Our country faces significant economic challenges and Rishi is best placed to address this.
The comments made by Jacob Young, the Conservative MP for Redcar and Cleveland, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
People are contacting me regarding who I am backing to be the next Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party. In my role as a Government Whip, I am unable to share my views. It is important for the Whips Office to remain publicly neutral in this process.
The comments made by David Frost, Lord Frost, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
Boris Johnson will always be a hero for delivering Brexit.
But we must move on. It is simply not right to risk repeating the chaos and confusion of the last year.
The Tory Party must get behind a capable leader who can deliver a Conservative programme. That is Rishi Sunak.
As I wrote in July:
“[Rishi] would be a very able prime minister. He understands the issues, can work the machine, and is a decent guy to boot. He would mark a big change in “feel” from the Boris years.”
That’s what we now need. Let’s get behind Rishi.
The comments made by Harriett Baldwin, the Conservative MP for West Worcestershire, on Twitter on 22 October 2022.
She’s calm, compassionate and capable. That’s why I’m backing Penny Mordaunt.
