As some high-profile Conservative party members throw their hats into their ring in a bid to see who becomes the next leader, some other lesser-known candidates have come forward.
Tom Tugendhat announced his bid for Tory leader last Thursday in the Daily Telegraph, just a couple of days after Boris Johnson announced his resignation. The Tonbridge and Mailing MP posted a series of tweets while claiming he had the highest chance of winning votes in every part of the country.
In the Telegraph, he wrote of how the party must double down on its Conservative values to "enrich lives across every party of the country". He addressed a variety of issues such as the growing cost of living crisis -noting how it "is also a national security issue" - as well as the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
