Grant Shapps has thrown his hat into the ring for the Tory leadership contest, vowing to shrink the state and end "tactical government by an often distracted centre."
The Transport Secretary, who has held various frontbench roles since joining the then-shadow cabinet in 2007, was a key part of Boris Johnson's 2018 leadership campaign.
Mr Shapps first became a household name - or names - after he was found to have used the alias Michael Green to sell get-rich-quick schemes on the internet.
