Nadine Dorries and Jacob Rees-Mogg have endorsed Liz Truss in the Conservative Party leadership contest.

Speaking outside Number 10, Dorries described the Foreign Secretary as “probably a stronger Brexiteer than both of us”, comments endorsed by Brexit opportunities minister Rees-Mogg.

Truss voted to remain in the European Union in 2016.

At the time, she championed Britain staying inside the EU to protect her daughter’s future, saying:

“I don’t want my daughters to grow up in a world where they need a visa or permit to work in Europe; or where they are hampered from growing a business because of extortionate call costs and barriers to trade.”

She continued: “Every parent wants their children to grow up in a healthy environment with clean water, fresh air and thriving natural wonders. Being part of the EU helps protect these precious resources and spaces.”

Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nadine Dorries tell the BBC that Liz Truss is "as strong a Brexiteer as both of us."

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
