Boris Johnson and other MP’s explains their support

• Boris Johnson is supported by Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson
• I think Boris is someone with a proven track record who delivered Brexit, he delivered the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe.
• MP Dame Maria Miller is backing Penny Mordaunt “because she can bring the party and the country together”.

Boris Johnson is supported by Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson. He told the media that over the summer, many of his people had expressed their “disappointment” that Boris had left and had been calling for him to return; now he has joined them. Many MPs who encouraged him to leave in the summer have told me they now regret doing so. Now we require his return.

“I think Boris is someone with a proven track record who delivered Brexit, he delivered the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe. He ensured this country led the international coalition against Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. I believe he is a tried-and-tested leader.”

MP Dame Maria Miller is backing Penny Mordaunt “because she can bring the party and the country together”.

She added: Her background makes her well-placed to connect with people. We’re going through a tough time as a country and we want to have a PM who can demonstrate they can understand that and put the right support in place for families.”

Mordaunt is someone who “really understands the struggles of ordinary people”, Dame Maria said

And Dominic Raab, who served as Boris Johnson’s deputy prime minister and supports Rishi Sunak, said: “Rishi had the right plan in the summer and I think it is the right plan now. He is the best placed candidate to provide some stability, to provide confidence for the millions of workers and businesses up and down the country.”

Raab said Sunak is also “the right candidate to bring the party together with a government of all of the talents to just relentlessly deliver for the British people whether it is on the cost of living, crime, schools or NHS.”
