Leading Brexiteer David Frost has put his support behind Rishi Sunak for the Tory leadership, claiming that the country must “move on.”

Frost said the party must back a “capable leader”, pointing to Rishi Sunak, who was expected to announce his bid on Saturday afternoon.

Boris Johnson will always be a hero for delivering Brexit.

But we must move on. It is simply not right to risk repeating the chaos & confusion of the last year.

The Tory Party must get behind a capable leader who can deliver a Conservative programme. That is @RishiSunak. 1/2

The former chancellor has been the first to receive the support of at least 100 MPs, which potential candidates need to launch leadership bids next week.

Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned last week, after a six-week stint holding the keys to Number 10, in the wake of a botched mini-budget outlined in September.

A new Prime Minister is set to be announced on Friday 28 October, with party members having the deciding say in a vote between two final candidates.
