According to Graham Brady, 100 nominations are needed for a candidate to be entered into the leadership contest, which closes at 2pm on Monday with final result (the successor) being announced next Friday. Rather worryingly, it is hinted that Boris Johnson might stand again, although known candidates so far are the former Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, and the current Leader of The House of Commons, Penny Mordaunt |

I was surprised to hear earlier that there are a lot of people who want Boris back in office but hey, I guess the only thing the country can do is see what happens |

To be honest, the only hope the Tory party has is Boris Johnson. |

Well so far, Penny Mordaunt has confirmed she is running in the leadership contest, making her the first (and at the time of writing this) the only candidate to do so. Let's not forget Mr. Johnson himself is under investigation right now regarding him potentially misleading the house. |

RE: In the News
Rishi Sunak has now declared publicly that he will run for the role of Prime Minister. So far, the current tally between Mordaunt, Sunak, and Johnson (the third has yet to claim themselves that they are running) are (at the time of writing this, with sources from BBC News) Sunak: 141 Johnson: 56 (EDIT: Confirmed to be not participating, according to Johnson himself he had 102 votes) Mordaunt: 23 It is said that Johnson has already hit the required target of 100 signatures, although Sunak supporters demand proof ahead of tomorrow, when nominations close. |

RE: In the News
Rishi Sunak will succeed Liz Truss as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he becomes the first British Asian to do so and the youngest since Lord Liverpool in 1812. This follows with Penny Mordaunt dropping out of the leadership contest. |
