Rishi Sunak's support has grown, with 140 MPs now publicly backing him in the Tory leadership contest.

 He has some high-profile backing - including former home secretary Suella Braverman, who reckons he'll provide "unity, stability and efficiency".

She joins the former Deputy Prime Minister and MP for Esher and Walton Domonic Raab who is also backing Mr Sunak saying ‘He has the plan and credibility’ 

He also went on to say a return to the Johnson era would restart the Partygate ‘soap opera’ 

But while Boris Johnson doesn't have enough nominations yet, big names are supporting him - including Foreign Secretary James Cleverly who says he's "learned lessons from his time in Number Ten".
