As I told Kamali Melbourne on Sky News this morning, al-Qaeda continue to present a real threat to our security. They would harm our interests and our people if they could do so. That’s why it is quite right their leadership is removed where it is possible to do so.
I welcome the news overnight of the US drone strike that killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, leader of al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda remains a sworn enemy of the West, and the process of taking out their leadership remains the correct policy.
Speaking to Kamali Melbourne on Sky News this morning, I emphasised that Rishi Sunak is the candidate of experience, courage and opportunity. His record in office shows this, and it is why he has my support.
If we want to spend on public services, we have to generate that money from taxation, borrowing, or growing the economy. The best and most sensible way is to grow the economy, which is what Rishi Sunak believes.
Speaking to Julia Hartley-Brewer on TalkTV this morning, I reinforced why Rishi Sunak is the best candidate to be leader of the Conservatives and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

It was a privilege to introduce Rishi Sunak at tonight’s Conservative Leadership Hustings in Exeter. As I said in my remarks, I’m supporting Rishi because he believes in core Conservative principles and because he has the requisite character to lead.
Rishi Sunak has the experience, intellect and courage to lead the country through the challenges we currently face. He is setting out a rational and realistic programme to deliver on his promises both at home and abroad. That’s why I’m supporting him.
