Home Secretary Grant Shapps says he is backing Rishi Sunak to become leader of the Conservative Party.
In a tweet,
he said: “We need someone who can provide stability and proven economic competence in these challenging times.”
The former transport secretary was appointed to his current role by Liz Truss four days ago, following the resignation of Suella Braverman.
Shapps had backed Sunak in the summer’s leadership contest against Truss, after dropping out of the race himself.
