“Lots Of One Nation Candidates And Robert Jenrick” Mel Stride Joins Tory Leadership Race
Mel Stride has become the fourth Conservative MP to announce they are joining the race for the party’s leadership.
The former work and pensions secretary said he has been “fully nominated” as a candidate, joining Tom Tugendhat, James Cleverly and Robert Jenrick in the race to replace Rishi Sunak as Tory leader.
Shadow communities secretary Kemi Badenoch, the bookmakers’ favourite to succeed Mr Sunak, and former home secretaries Suella Braverman and Dame Priti Patel are expected to put themselves forward before nominations close at 2.30pm on Monday.
Talk’s Peter Cardwell is joined by editor of Conservative Home Henry Hill.
