The incredible thing about Truss is that the mini budget was optional, she could have started her leadership by announcing anything but according to her worldview that's the message she wanted to get front and centre right away about how she would lead.

And boy did that happen.

Penny Mordaunt remains the only official candidate to declare a run. She pledges to: "Unite the party. Deliver the manifesto. Win the General Election."

Both Sunak and Johnson remain well ahead of Mordaunt in terms of declared supporters (Sunak has 122 Johnson has 53, and Mordaunt has 23 - but this is changing at a rapid pace)

It's not, they had Boris at 50 by 2am Friday morn

Quick check says their count is the same as BBC, except Boris has got 20 whips and committee members who apparently aren't allowed to declare (for 73 total)

The word Tory originates from an Irish term that was phonetically anglicised.[5][6] Several Irish words have been suggested as the etymological root for the word Tory. The Irish word toruidhe or toruighe, meaning "to pursue" or "to hunt", is suggested as the origin for the term Tory. From the 1500s to 1600s, the term Tory first emerged to refer to the Irish who were dispossessed of their lands and took to the woods, forming themselves into bands that subsisted on wild animals and goods taken from settlers.[5] After these activities were suppressed, the term lost its original signification with English-speakers, and was used to describe "an outlaw papist" or a "robber that is noted for outrages and cruelty".[7][8][9] The Irish peasantry also used the term Tory to refer to an outlaw or a miscreant of any kind into the 19th century.[10]

Here's a rundown of today's key headlines:

Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson remain the two frontrunners in the race, but neither the former chancellor nor the former prime minister have officially confirmed they are running

The BBC understands that the pair were due to meet this afternoon, but the meeting was pushed back for reasons that are unclear

Johnson's supporters have claimed the former PM has the support of 100 Tory MPs

But Sunak's backers have cast doubt on those claims, demanding Johnson's camp to publish a list of MPs who are backing him

Penny Mordaunt continues to be the only official candidate to declare she's running for the top leadership position

Those wishing to throw their names in the hat have until Monday at 14:00 BST to find 100 backers. The general public doesn't have a say on who will become the next Tory leader, but Conservative Party members will (unless MPs unite around just one candidate)

Currently 203 out of 357 Tory MPs have gone public with their support.

Some 127 MPs are backing Sunak, 53 MPs said they'll support Johnson and a further 23 MPs have pledged their support to Mordaunt. We're running our own tally here.

I mean there's roughly 320 votes, so unless his supporters are saying rishi is going to get over 200, or penny is somehow going to suddenly and massively overtake Boris, it's pretty inevitable

Stepping down for the sake of unity shows that he is the right person to step up and create unity is certainly a logical contortion.

Could it be that Zahawi knows that he's never gonna be chancellor under Sunak?
