Merseyside's only Conservative MP has announced who he is backing to become the next Prime Minister.
The process of the Conservative Party selecting its next leader has begun, with nine MPs putting their hat into the ring to succeed Boris Johnson. Having lost the confidence of his cabinet, Mr Johnson resigned on Thursday (July 7) but said he will remain in post as caretaker until the next leader is elected.
Rishi Sunak, Nadhim Zahawi, Jeremy Hunt and Liz Truss are among the names touted to become the next PM. However, Damien Moore, MP for Southport, has announced that he is supporting Tom Tugendhat's leadership campaign.
