Conservative Party deputy chair Matthew Vickers has resigned from his role in order to back Robert Jenrick in the Conservative Party leadership contests.
Mr Vickers also serves as shadow policing minister, but does not need to stand back from this role to declare his support for a candidate. However, Conservative Campaign Headquarters is remaining neutral in the contest, which is why Mr Vickers is standing down from his role there.

'Of course, he is a strong communicator, but he crucially has the credibility we need to earn back the public's trust.' Mr Jenrick said: 'It's great to have the backing of such a well-respected Conservative campaigner and champion for levelling up in the North East.
