Boris Johnson's resignation as Prime Minister has triggered a race among Conservative MPs to become the next leader of the party.
There are currently eight Tory MPs who have put their names forward for the top job from well know faces such as Rishi Sunak to outsiders like Kemi Badenoch.
The leadership race gained momentum over the weekend, with opening gambits coming thick and fast from candidates across almost every wing of the party.

Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak was the first to launch his candidacy following Johnson's resignation.
But a host of hopefuls, including Nadhim Zahawi and Suella Braverman have announced tax-slashing pledges in an apparent bid to contrast themselves with his record as Chancellor.
And in a surprise statement on Saturday, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace - widely tipped as the likely front-runner - said he had decided not to stand after "careful consideration".
His absence has made way for fresh bids from elsewhere in the party over the weekend, with 11 Tories now in the running for the top job.
So, who has launched their campaigns to replace Boris Johnson?
Rishi Sunak
In a three-minute campaign video launched on Friday, Sunak announced his leadership bid with the message: "Let's restore trust, rebuild the economy and reunite the country."
His stock has taken a tumble recently following disclosures that his wife had non-dom status for tax purposes and he held on to his US green card while serving in Government.
Supporters will hope his latest £21 billion support package will finally put to bed criticism about the response to the cost of living crisis.
Odds: 6/4
Penny Mordaunt
Mordaunt's campaign got off to an awkward start on Sunday with her launch video hastily edited to remove several identifiable figures including killer Oscar Pistorius.
GB Paralympian Jonnie Peacock, who also appeared in the video, requested footage of him featured in the clip be removed, with Mordaunt, who remains among the early favourites, posting an amended version hours later.
Announcing her bid, the international trade minister said the UK's leadership "needs to become a little less about the leader and a lot more about the ship".
She played a prominent role in the Leave campaign in the 2016 Brexit referendum, and enjoys the backing of Dame Andrea Leadsom and Michael Fabricant.
Odds: 2/1
Liz Truss
The Foreign Secretary kept her powder dry as the Tory top brass turned on the mortally wounded Prime Minister, despite being a Johnson loyalist, though she did cut short a foreign trip to Indonesia to head back to Westminster as he announced his resignation.
But she confirmed long-standing expectations that she would throw her hat into the already crowded ring on Sunday, pledging to reverse the national insurance hike.
She has the experience of working across many Whitehall departments, while her hard line on Ukraine, insisting Russian forces must be driven from the country, and threats to tear up the Northern Ireland Protocol with the EU play well with sections of the party.
Odds: 13/4
Nadhim Zahawi
Zahawi's bid, also announced in The Sunday Times, is rooted in lower taxes and a "great education" for all, promising to "steady the ship" and "stabilise the economy".
He also appeared to suggest a hard-line stance on so-called culture war issues, claiming he would protect children from what he claimed was "damaging and inappropriate nonsense from radical activists".
The newly appointed Chancellor argued Britons must be trusted "to do what is best for themselves", as he warned the country had lost a sense of "boundless optimism and opportunity" that he traced back to Margaret Thatcher's tenure.
Odds: 149/1
Tom Tugendhat
The chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee became the first to announce his intention to stand for leader should Johnson resign, with his declaration made in January, a position he repeated in Friday's Daily Telegraph, saying he was putting together a "broad coalition" offering a "clean start".
His odds shortened almost immediately as a result.
The former soldier wrote in the paper: "I have served before, in the military, and now in Parliament. Now I hope to answer the call once again as prime minister."
A Remainer in 2016, he has been a trenchant critic of Johnson, a stance that would appear to have cost him any chance of ministerial preferment under the current leadership.
Odds: 12/1
Suella Braverman
The Attorney General launched an unlikely leadership bid as support for Johnson crumbled around him on Wednesday night.
But a surprise endorsement from prominent Brexiteer Steve Baker, who had earlier said he was considering running, has lent weight to her standing.
Braverman, who was first elected as an MP in 2015, is regarded as something of an outlier for the top job.
A Suella Braverman for PM Twitter account has nonetheless sprung up, with Tory MP Sir Desmond Swayne being the first to tweet his support for her bid.
Odds: 33/1
Jeremy Hunt
Hunt confirmed his widely anticipated leadership bid in The Sunday Telegraph, making similar tax-cutting pledges to fellow ex-health secretary Javid.
The former foreign secretary, whose Remainer background may have been part of what ruled him out of the running in 2019, has been a persistent critic of Johnson.
Seen by some as a bit of a Thatcher reboot, Hunt might appeal to those who want a sensible choice of leader after months of instability.
Odds: 25/1
Kemi Badenoch
Former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch threw her hat into the ring with a plan for a smaller state and a government "focused on the essentials".
The MP for Saffron Walden said she supported lower taxes "to boost growth and productivity, and accompanied by tight spending discipline".
Writing in The Times, the 42-year-old former banker, who grew up in the UK, US and Nigeria, also hit out at "identity politics" and said Boris Johnson was "a symptom of the problems we face, not the cause of them".
Odds: 31/2
