Greg Clark has endorsed Priti if she stands.This is a contest of strange endorsements but that is the most striking. Maybe she offered him a top job.They have nothing in common politically.

He also stated that Sunak who wanted to meet his father in Summer 2020 had to travel to see him as Nigel then 88 was unable to travel.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11000811/DOMINIC-LAWSON-father-backing-Rishi-Sunaks-cautious-approach-today.html His son Dominic suggests that his father would have backed Rishi Sunak for PM.The use of past tense makes me think Nigel is not really aware of or able to engage with the leadership contest.

He was involved in a bullying scandal when running the Youth Wing of the Tories about 10 or so years ago. Well he has the least endorsements of any of the serious candidates so far.

He has 0 endorsements

Rehman Christie has entered the race. If Priti Patel and John Baron run that is 13.RIdiculous.

Yeah but being corrected by Mad Nads is like being called beautiful by Stevie Wonder.

Although Gove is a marmite figure and never did well in Leadership elections. Never made it to a members ballot though. Gove backing her isn`t surprising as their views are quite similar on many issues.

Seems likely. We could easily see Johnson May and Cameron all going out of respect.

If he didn't that would be beyond hysterical.

Sunak.

She has some strong assets well two off the top of my head.

James Stupidly

Chris Pincher should run.He would take a very hands on approach and form intimate connections with the electorate.

Seems fitting

He has looked like death warmed up for 3 months or so.Don`t see a decline.Not that there is much further he can decline.

His position is worse than McMichaels health at this point.

No he is definitely finished this time.41% of his MPs wanted him to go which has increased plus 44 MPs have resigned from the Government payroll.He has very little support left in his parliamentary party and we are a parliamentary democracy so if he can't get enough MPs to join him in government he by definition cannot govern. I have compared him to having stage 4 pancreatic cancer MND or Alzheimers.Well to up the metaphor he now has pneumonia on top is on a ventilator and organs are still failing in death list terms.

Suellla Braverman called on PM to resign refuses to resign herself and says she will stand to succeed him

Simon Hart resigns as Welsh Secretary Edward Arger Resigns as Health Minister I think that's 3 cabinet resignations 18 minisisterial resignations 44 MPs in total Then Gove was sacked on top of that.

Yeah I reckon it will be a call for immediate resignation rather than a please step down order.

He is gone by end of tomorrow potentially end of today.

Resignations now standing at 28 including 5 simultaneous ministerial resignations in a joint letter.
