Eleven candidates have now put their names forward to become the next Conservative Party leader - but which ones are our Tory MPs backing? 

Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, Sajid Javid, Liz Truss, Penny Mordaunt, Grant Shapps, Nadhim Zahawi, Rishi Sunak, Tom Tugendhat and backbench MP Rehman Chisti have all thrown their hat in the ring to replace Boris Johnson. 

But Bucks residents will be keen to know which candidate their own MP will be throwing their support behind - so this is what we know so far. 

Wycombe MP Steve Baker - Suella Braverman

Since dropping his own bid to become Boris Johnson's replacement, Mr Baker has backed Attorney General Suella Braverman. 

The Wycombe MP said it is "not an exaggeration to say Brexit wouldn't have happened without Suella". 

He added: "Suella is the embodiment of our diverse country and enthusiastic about it oo. 

"When finally even I wobbled about backing Brexit in name only, Suella stood firm. 

"We only have Brexit today because of what we did then. It wouldn't have happened without her."

Suella Braverman has said she would amend the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill to set VAT, excise and the regulation of medicines directly under UK law from day one.

She has also pledged to move to remove new EU laws from applying to Northern Ireland.

The Attorney General said in a statement: “The Northern Ireland Protocol was never meant to be a permanent solution.

“As prime minister, I would make the changes to the NIP Bill that I’ve been arguing for within government, to make it fully compliant with UK sovereignty.

“That means from day one after the Bill becomes law, the EU would have no more say over VAT and Excise in Northern Ireland and no say in our regulation of medicines.

“After my changes, UK law – and tax rates – would apply directly.”

Aylesbury MP Rob Butler - Liz Truss

The Aylesbury MP, who resigned as Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Foreign Secretary on July 7 amid a swathe of resignations, is backing Liz Truss. 

He spent the weekend retweeting positive articles and statements from fellow MPs about Foreign Secretary Ms Truss, before saying: "With Chief Secretary to the Treasury Simon Clarke also on her team, I'm convinced she has the right economic plan to help hard-pressed families and drive growth.

"I trust her to deliver."

Ms Truss launched her bid for the leadership with a pledge for “low taxes” and a “firm grip on spending”.

In a video posted to Twitter with the tagline “Trusted to deliver”, she said a Prime Minister with “experience, who can hit the ground running from day one” is needed.

She highlighted her work on trade deals with Australia and Japan, and on the controversial Northern Ireland Protocol Bill as among her credentials.

Buckingham MP Greg Smith - Priti Patel? 

Mr Smith has not pledged his support for any of the confirmed 11 candidates who have thrown their hat in the ring. 

Instead, he has urged Home Secretary Priti Patel to stand, saying he would back her if she did. 

Ms Patel has reportedly said she would decide today whether she will stand or not. 

Mr Smith said: "This week the process will begin to elect a new Conservative Party Leader and Prime Minister.

"For me there is one colleague who stands out, who combines a steadfast belief in conservative values with a determination and ability to deliver.

"I am urging Priti Patel to stand."

Beaconsfield MP Joy Morrissey - no one (yet)

Ms Morrissey has been unwavering in her support for Boris Johnson, appearing outside Number 11 Downing Street alongside Carrie Johnson and other supportive MPs while Mr Johnson gave his resignation speech last week.

She said it was a "dark day in British politics" the same day. 

She is also Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Prime Minister and has consistently said Mr Johnson has "got the big calls right and has led this country through one of the most challenging periods since WWII". 

She added that "now is not the time for a leadership contest" - so she has not backed any candidates.
