The comments made by Andrea Leadsom, the Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.
Delighted by this! [in response to Penny Mordaunt confirming that she was standing for the leadership] Penny has the experience, the compassion and the determination to lead our country to a bright future! #PM4PM
The comments made by Alok Sharma, the Conservative MP for Reading West, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.
I am backing Boris Johnson – he won a mandate from the electorate in 2019.
We need to get back to delivering on the Conservative manifesto we were elected on.
The comments made by Nicola Richards, the Conservative MP for West Bromwich East, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.
I’m backing Penny Mordaunt to unite our party, deliver our 2019 manifesto and win the general election.
I know Penny will be the stabilising, calm and collected figure we need to see us through the turbulent times ahead.
The comments made by Angela Richardson, the Conservative MP for Guildford, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.
“The best hope is for a highly disciplined, rational individual…….a rare find in British politics”
Sharing this important endorsement from William Hague again.
Rishi Sunak is the right candidate if the national interest comes before every other consideration. As it should.
The comments made by Jess Phillips, the Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.
I’m not lying, I’m rattled for sure at the state of the country. I don’t fear Johnson, he would make the conservatives a far greater laughing stock than they already are which is hard to imagine. He is the one I fear the least. He’s deeply unpopular.
The comments made by Simon Hart, the Conservative MP for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
After the last few weeks the very least we can do for the country is get the right Prime Minister this time. No time for experiments; no time for frivolity; no time to line up a job offer. This means choosing someone serious, tested, competent and kind.
For me that’s Rishi Sunak.
The comments made by Rehman Chishti, the Conservative MP for Gillingham and Rainham, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.
I backed Rishi Sunak before and I will back him again. He was right on the economy.
The comments made by Bob Neill, the Conservative MP for Bromley and Chislehurst, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.
A very easy choice for me: it has to be Rishi Sunak. We need someone with integrity and a proven track record who can rebuild trust. He had the right plan for the economy in the summer and he has the right plan now.
The comments made by Julie Marson, the Conservative MP for Hertford and Stortford, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.
I am backing Rishi Sunak for party leader. He has a proven track record of steering our economy through turbulent times and supporting the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. I believe he will unite our party and country, to lead us through the enormous challenges ahead.
The comments made by Julian Smith, the Conservative MP for Skipton and Ripon, on Twitter on 21 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 & deliver sustainable tax cuts over time; and
– unite the Conservatives by bringing the best talent into govt to deliver for the British people.
