- Senior Tories Michael Gove and Andrea Leadsom have become the latest Tory MPs to stand down before the upcoming General Election.
They become the 77th and 78th Tory MPs to announce they will step down before the upcoming election - more than the 72 in 1997 when Labour stormed to victory under Tony Blair.
"As a child in Aberdeen I could never have imagined I would have the opportunity to sit in the Commons, let along the cabinet table," Mr Gove said on Friday evening.
"That four prime ministers asked me to serve the country in their governments has been the honour of my life."
It comes as The Guardian reports that Rishi Sunak is planning to take a day off his election campaign to discuss plans with his aides.
Matthew Wright reacts to all of this and hears from his guests.

The Tories have stolen all they can and now they're off!
Nice of the British public to let them in to pilfer everything for the 100th time.
@@grahamwade5932 You're a member of the "British public"
Their pockets are full, the coffers are empty. Off the slimy Tories slink back under their rocks. Disgusting.
@@jeffsimon9594 I'm not actually no
@@grahamwade5932 Only half the public let them in. It would be nice if you didn't generalise.
Gove is my MP - best news since Thatcher popped her clogs.
I've booked the next day off cos I'll be up all night watching the destruction
So have I. Hopefully I'll be having drinks & nibbles during the night watching the results, so looking forward to it.
Absolutely looking forward to the election and watching the results coming in . Really hoping that REFORM get a massive load of seats.
😂😂😂😂😂😂@@normandunford5747
Destruction of reform AGAIN
Hahahahhahahahahhaha @@normandunford5747
78 MPs stepping down, wonder if the number will hit 100?
Makes no difference as they will be replaced by red torys.

Gove was partly to blame for the rise in knife crime ,the amount of people he's stabbed in the back is of the scale ,who would have thought slugs can carry knives ,you live and learn .

Bravely running away

Brave Sir Robin
They will no doubt claim to be the party that can wether the tough times ahead😂
He was not afraid to get voted out. Brave, brave Sir Govey
The hypocrites....the Tories have been a mess for ages! If they wanted to leave on principle, they would have left sometime ago, but "No; they milked it for as much & as long as they could but now the games up they run for the hills...if they believed in their own policy they would have stayed & fight. No more free money so its time to leave.
The Tories will have no problem finding odd candidates 🤡
Will have to outsource from India
There's plenty of opinionated lads down the pub who will no doubt step up.
@@shaneheff5244
I could run the country (further) into the ground for £85k + cabinet salary + expenses... And backhanders...
I need to practice my lying, arrogance and selfishness but I reckon I could make just as big a mess if I tried.
@@pauln6803 You've got my vote. That sound like a huge improvement.
Susan Hall might make a comeback!
Patriot Farage is off to America where the money is. Fatage couldn't care less about this country, he never did.
Clearly, you misunderstood. Farage has stepped down from GB News to campaign for Reform.
@@kincaidwolf5184 Clearly you are gullible, Farage only cares about himself, power and money. He is no patriot.
@@kincaidwolf5184You’re clearly not up to date but Farage definitely is going to the US..
@JohnnyCrash-ug8zt no, you're well behind. Farage is campaigning in this election for Reform, which is why he stood down from GB news. He is going to the USA after the election.
@@kincaidwolf5184is this the same Nigel Farage who took his candidates out of the last General Election to help the conservatives? Showing the same disdain for democrscy on that occssion too.
Tory mps running away. The election could be a hilarious disaster for the Conservatives.
I will be staying up on election night

Believe it or not... he could do that !
@@WilliamMacKenzie-dq6bf Yes, we do not yet know how deep the Democrat Lawfare Swamp goes
Sunak's advisors are either unbelievably incompetent, OR Totaly brilliant and being paid by labour party central.😂😂😂
When you run out of horses you start harnessing donkeys. When you run out of donkeys you run
Cowardly
I would make the accusation that the attitude is "If we can't have power and all the perks it brings, I'm not going to play."
For so many, even in pretty safe seats, I doubt it's anything else.
They've no interest in serving the public.
The pint-sized liar will be in California by August 1st.
People shouldn't be allowed to sit in a seat where they don't reside and pay council taxes.
No they shouldn't
TITANIC.
Marie Celeste
Meltdown man Ritchie Sunak.
They've extracted what they want (money) out of the exchequer and job done, no need to hang around.
Love Matthew Wright on this programme 😊
This is popcorn gold
MORE STEPPING
DOWN TO COME
( ARRESTS )
Keep playing your X box dreamer

You need to wake up mate
I hope and pray that justice will take its course - I would prefer not to live in a Pariah state but rather one that believes in Law and Order, specifically International law and International rules based order.

can Nottingham MPs resign as you have done nothing for Nottingham in 14 years.
If they won't resign, show them the door!
You could say the same bout many Tory MP'S most of them don't know what there constituents want or would like and rarely show any interest in them.
30p - 3 party Lee being the most obvious 👏🏻👏🏻
Too right! I hope he's not re-elected. I'm in Ashfield
It could be that Sunak wants out. I think it was his wife who is fed up with everything and wants to move the family to California.
Maybe Sunak will resign if his wife tells him, or does he know he will lose his seat so it doesn't matter, he will be off to USA on 5th July.
Will she have non-dom status there?
Gove's departures means that trade with Colombia will be significantly affected
Aye, his twitcher could sense a change in the air...
What kind of freak would stand up and say"yeah i will quit my job to be told to f off on the doorsteps of the town I live in in order to be humiliated at4am in my local leisure centre" (and then be unemployed afterwards)
🤣🤣
Michael Portillo did in 1997…
Gotta love British mps!!lol
You don’t have to quit your job to be a candidate.
Someone must be having a right laugh who ever is advising Rishi Sunak 🤣 It is comedy gold though keep them coming.
their pockets are full, off they go
James Heale looks a lot like Scott Benton! Hahahaha
I suppose to be fair, in 2010, 100 Labour MP's stood down before the election. This is just something that happens when it is clear your political party is set to lose the upcoming election, MP's abandon ship to avoid the embarrassment of losing.
Matthew you summed it all up pretty well ! 😊
Trouble at No. 10 Drowning Street.
4 days to find 200 candidates. Absolutely hilarious 😂😂
Fine then at the job center I do it for 98000 pounds plus ex
@@DavidTurner-cn1xj
With that level of written word, you could stand as an MP & keep that job with your ex.
The vetting of Tory candidates is going to see some candidates slip through that make Jonathan Gullis look like intellectual heavyweight
🤣🤣👏👏👏
They'd prefer to leave by their own volition rather than to lose an election. Problem is, the defections/resignations are just adding to the defeat.
"We need to be more right wing - to keep the hard right on our side!"
"Er ... the public are being turned away by our going hard right."
"Well we need to be *more* hard right then, obviously!"
The only difference between The Titanic and #10 ? The Titanic had a band.
I won’t comment on the current political situation in the UK because it’s none of my concern but this exodus reminds me of what happened in Ireland after the financial crash when the people that caused it retired to enjoy their big fat pensions and other perks.
Tory intellectual giant? What the F do you mean?
Pretty sure he was joking 😂
He’s joking mate.
whoosh
Twas sarcasm, m'lord
It's like a Labour intellectual giant, someone like Diane Abbott, a genius with facts and figures. A genius by politician standards.
Anyone who votes Tory should be sent to Rwanda
In a small boat, like a callender.
I not sure you could fill a plane
Or Broadmoore.
And have to do national service with no age restrictions
Most of the conservative MPs in July 5 will be taking a trip to The job centre
280 at least.
There may be a few ex tory MPs signing on, but the majority will not have to, they can live on their share dividends from the privatised public service companies. Those that a Labour government should re-nationalise, and give said shareholders a penny per share. They've robbed the poor to fill the rich for long enough.
They could retrain in IT
Or the House of Lords.
They get a payoff though I’m sure they’ll argue it isn’t enough
Can't say the words "intellectual giant Andrea Leadsom" without cracking into laughter.
All we need is Noel Edmond's to jump out and give Richie a Gotcha award and Boris dressed up as MR Blobby announcing he’s running again lol
The scary thing is millions of our fellow citizens repeatedly voted them back in.
They're trusted with pointy scissors and operating dangerous machinery...
That picture isn't of James Neale. It's Scott Benton.
Sounds like they might have to co-opt the cleaning lady.
I'm surprised there's so little in the news about the need to recruit and vet 200 candidates by Thursday as it's impossible.
Most of the media would prefer to focus on Jeremy Corbyn.
It'll take a giant step to the right. Don't forget the members voted for Truss and not Sunak. That membership will chase the reform vote even more. Cruella will probably be their new Fuher, sorry, leader.
Sounds like a nightmare..
No chance. Far-right policies like Brexit and the Kami-Kwasi budget have ruined this country.
The reform party is just another word for TORY party without Sunak.
@@richardhowlett4097 maybe they'll get together and create an unearthly love child called the Reservative Party. Think I might trademark that name.
I doubt anyone is advising sunak apart from his father in law
don't forget Policy Exchange and their masters.
What about 30p Lee and his Mum.
Congratulations UK from Oz , finally waking from the dystopian Tory nightmare.
There's no more food in the trough so they are jumping ship leaving us the scraps
Im hoping for lots of "Portillo" moments, unfortunately they all seem to be jumping ship first.
Lollllll they have a plan
Do they, now ?
Dont relax..they're not gone yet
Brilliant Mathew. Your comments should have had the Benny Hill theme tune in the background as you describe this keystone cop rabble!
Hilarious 😆 😆
I see the end of Conservatives in this County; the reasons is that our Prime Miniseries stupidly 😊 idea that he brings 2.000.000 Indian new workers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There are 3 million foreign visa holders here full time in the UK per annum. 700.000 stay. Impossible numbers for the infrastructure.
Thieves running away rich.should all be in jail.
What about this Rwanda policy? the un should pick up the bill, personally I would just send them away and leave them in the country they are from they would soon tell you once on board
What is truely terrifying is the thought that they have run the country with the same talent and skill that they have run this campaign.... our collective lives have been in the hands of total and utter incompetents
FAILING IN THE RAIN.😂😂😂
Small minds are easily amused
It's because he lied when he was seventeen.
I remember the iron maiden song Run to the Hills 😂😂😂😂
What kind of person would stand for the Tories? Someone in their thirties, playing a long game. Raise profile in local party, so you can be candidate 8 to 10 years from now, when people start to tire of Labour.
Switch the Lights Off .
The tories will have to lurch even further to the right to differentiate themselves from Starmer's right wing labour lite.
Labour Broadcasting Corporation are doing a fine job ...
With Ferrari interviewing Sunak. Who you kidding
@@keef6586 yes the the undertones said a lot ..
Less than a week to find 200 candidates is very likely to result in some very interesting characters being selected.
He says Labour haven't got a plan?
Outsource from India
Poor James, why is Scott Benton’s (the disgraced Tory MP) image replacing his?🤦🏻♂️
Has the party got enough staff to vet the candidates?
yeah there's plenty of Tory MPs who will give it from behind
whats scott benton doing there? 😂 9:48
100 Labour MPs stood down in 2010. It happens, politicians of all persuasions don't have the guts for a fight
IMPOSSIBLE!
Less than 100 seats! Lets go!
Vip lanes for ppe - get that scandal highlighted
Who else misses Matthew on the telly?
Can someone please turn the lights out ?
200 odd people? I don't think they'll find anyone odd enough.

Go on wrighty, you can get another sausage in there
The new national front
Sunak and starmer?? No difference
Sunaks advisor's are just fine they are doing a great job...
You should be glad the tories are self destructing, you will get the govt you want.
Whether in reality they prve to be any different to the utterly pointless tory party is another thing entirely.
Neither of the two cheeks are worth spit.
If they reverse the voter suppression and anti-right to protest laws, it will be worth it. I want to live in a democracy.
An Idiot of almost Monty Python proportions would be the only one who would choose to stand in the face of certain defeat....
Matthew the best 👌 👍 Matthew for priminster, I know he's not interested 😂😂😂Matthew the best and honest
WET ICE BOURGH.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not even four working days it’s a bank holiday weekend.
Two hundred "odd" people indeed. Who'd be a Tory candidate?
@4:03 One of the seats that has no Tory candidate at the mo is Zahawi's, big majority to hold on to and yet they haven't got a candidate.
I think there is a saboteur in the Tory midst
🕵️♂️
What a mess.
And that's one of the reasons the world laughs at the uk
Is it true that Sunak's election theme music is Shirley Bassey's, if there's a wrong way to do it, "Nobody Doe's It Like Me."
Tory Intellectual Giant Mrs Leadsom....
Four working days no problem, this is the party that does not vet.
Sunak will be off to California
Cant be worse off than now. this is democracy
