Rishi Sunak stands for PM as Johnson seeks support. MinnieStephC4 reports.

Rishi Sunak has finally declared what many already suspected – that he is standing to become the next Prime Minister.

More than a third of all Tory MPs have backed him publicly – a figure that will see him comfortably through to the first round. Meanwhile Boris Johnson trails with just 47 MPs willing to go on the record with their support, although his backers insist he has met the threshold of 100.

How many backers do Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt have?Conservative MPs have started declaring who they want to become Britain's next prime minister. Do I, a relative peasant, get a say? or do the elites get to keep picking PMs for eternity? I'm curious as to who CharlesWalkerMP would back. Anyone know? Boris is the man. Sunak might be good with economics but he cannot be a leader, Boris is a world class leader. He can get it done, proven by his track records. Please support and select Boris.
