Chorus of opposition Disaffected Conservative MPS reveal the scale of the challenges faced by the party

My constituents remain understandably angry and upset at what happened, this was the only choice for the good of the country. Andrew Bowie

People across the country have been rightly deeply angered by what went on.

John Lamont

He has achieved a great deal, but I believe it’s now time for a new approach. Laurence Robertson

I voted tonight for a fresh start and new leadership for our country.

David Mundell

I hope that whatever the result we politicians can now fully focus on the things we were elected to do for you. Dehenna Davison

I’m very sad to say this, but I think that probably this is the beginning of the end.

John Penrose

Having been trusted with power, Conservative MPS know in our hearts we are not giving the British people the leadership they deserve. Jeremy Hunt

I have concluded that it is now time for a different kind of leadership and a new team.

Mark Pawsey I have heard loud and clear the anger at the breaking of Covid rules that we all did our best to follow. Douglas Ross

He has now made himself a liability in terms of voters rather than a plus.

Sir Robert Syms It is only about whether or not colleagues feel the PM is the fit and proper person to be in No10. Unsurprisingly, I do not believe he is.

The Conservative Party has got to find a way to raise our standard of conduct in all things. Steve Baker
