Rishi Sunak issues plea to Sajid Javid as bookies' favourite pulls out of Tory leadership race
Rishi Sunak has reportedly asked Sajid Javid to step aside and support his campaign to become PM. The former Chancellor is leading the polls to replace Boris Johnson, although Mr Javid could ruin his plans as the second most popular candidate.
He wrote: "After careful consideration and discussing with colleagues and family, I have taken the decision not to enter the contest for leadership of the Conservative party. I am very grateful to all my parliamentary colleagues and wider members who have pledged support. Mr Sunak is currently facing three other Conservative MPs in the contest, although others are expected to throw their hats in the ring today as the race heats up. More than a dozen of Mr Sunak's colleagues have already declared their support for his campaign, putting him far ahead of his rivals Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman and Tom Tugendhat.
