Tom Tugendhat: This evening is not really about us, it’s not just about the Conservative Party, it’s about you, your country and your Prime Minister. The country is going through a crisis at home and challenges abroad. We know people are asking the right question. We need a clean start, we all know that. I have a track record of leadership. I have driven in business and I have driven in Parliament. Penny Mordaunt: At some point you will all have a vote and you will see that not all politicians are the same. I’m not the traditional offering, I’m not the legacy candidate. I am focused on the future and I want our nation to be all it can be and shine with the new freedoms our great democracy has decided it will. Rishi Sunak: We all want to lower taxes so people keep more of their own money. The choice in this election is who can be trusted to hold the moment and get things done. I love our country and I have no doubt that we are going to build a better future for our children and grandchildren. So the question is easy: Are we facing the challenges honestly and responsibly or not? For me there is only one answer. Liz Truss: We face serious challenges as a country. Now is not the time for a continuation of our current economic policy. We have to be bold, we have to do things differently, we have to cut taxes, we have to unleash growth. I am ready to go to Downing Street on day one and get the job done. I have a record of delivery to every department I’ve been to.
