The full list of Conservative leadership candidates has been published after Monday afternoon’s deadline passed. Six MPs will be running in the three-month-long contest to succeed Rishi Sunak.
Four will be shortlisted by MPs in September and given the chance to make their pitch at the Conservative party conference and in the weeks leading up to it. MPs will then narrow down the list to two candidates, and grassroots members will elect their next leader in early November.
