MP backs former Chancellor to be leader and Prime Minister
Having initially been a supporter of Penny Mordaunt to be the next leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister, John Baron MP is now backing the former Chancellor, Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP.
Today marks the start of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The opening ceremony is expected to attract a global television audience of over 1 billion people.
Following his announcement last week that he was considering standing for the leadership of the Conservative Party, John Baron MP has decided not to join the race. Instead, he is endorsing Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt MP.
