Rishi Sunak has announced he will stand to be the next leader of the Conservative Party. The former Chancellor published a three-minute video declaring as a candidate on Friday afternoon. He is widely seen by Tory MPs as one of the front-runners. Posting a video on Twitter, alongside a £Ready4Rishi hashtag, he wrote: "I'm standing to be the next leader of the Conservative Party and your Prime Minister. "Let's restore trust, rebuild the economy and reunite the economy." Mr Sunak quit as Chancellor on Tuesday, shortly after Sajid Javid announced he was stepping down as Health Secretary, triggering an avalanche of ministerial resignations that ultimately led to Boris Johnson resigning as Prime Minister.
