Former chancellor Rishi Sunak’s public backers have put him beyond the threshold of 100 nominations from MPs required to be on the ballot for the Tory leadership race, according to analysis by the PA news agency.

Although he and his former boss Boris Johnson have yet to declare they are running to be the next prime minister, they both sit ahead of Penny Mordaunt, who was the first to announce she was standing on Friday.

Here is the list of who is backing who, including those who have publicly declared or have been confirmed by PA:
