| Conservative MPs have started declaring who they are backing to become the UK's next prime minister. | Conservative MPs have started declaring who they are backing to become the UK's next prime minister. |
| Currently 99 out of 357 Tory MPs have gone public with their support. Many others may not declare who they are backing, and more could announce their decisions over the weekend - so expect the numbers to continue to change rapidly. | |
| We're only including MPs who have told the BBC on the record who they're backing, or MPs who have publicly declared their support. | |
| Other counts may include MPs who've privately told other media organisations who they're backing - but until the BBC can verify it, they won't appear on our count. Also, no MP has officially said they are running for the leadership - so one of the rumoured frontrunners who is on our count could not actually run, or another MP could declare themselves as a candidate. | |
