Wave of Conservative MP Resignations To be fair, we knew this would be an issue for the Conservatives even before the election was announced. Prior to the election announcement, 66 Conservative MPs had already declared that they would stand down at the next election. Considering that the Conservatives held 344 seats before the election, this means roughly 20% of Conservative MPs are resigning at this election. Since the election was called, we have seen even more MPs announce their resignations. As of 9:00 AM on May 29th, the number has risen to 77. This group of 77 includes some very high-profile figures such as Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee; Chris Grayling, former Transport Secretary; George Eustice, former Environment Secretary; Michael Gove, Levelling Up Secretary and former Education Secretary; Matt Hancock, former Health Secretary; Sajid Javid, former Chancellor; and even Theresa May, former Prime Minister. In fact, of the 77 stepping down, 22 are either current or former Secretaries of State. Comparison of Resignation Numbers in Elections Indeed, the number of MPs resigning in this election is high. In 2019, only 32 Conservative MPs resigned, and in 2017, this number was just 12. However, this is not the highest number of resignations seen by an incumbent party during an election. Even back in 2010, 100 Labour MPs stepped down, although it's worth noting that MPs were embroiled in the expenses scandal at that time. The Conservatives' Challenge in Selecting Candidates With the election day approaching, the Conservatives now need to find candidates to replace these outgoing MPs. This is no small task. According to The Spectator, Labour is far ahead of the Conservatives in finalising their candidates. The deadline for this is Friday, June 7th, and as of Monday, the Conservatives still had 160 vacancies to fill. While this sounds like a daunting task, there are some signs that they might be able to meet this target. The Spectator points out that many of the remaining constituencies are unwinnable, with many of them located in Labour strongholds in inner London. As a result, few candidates typically apply for these seats. These seats should be relatively easy for the party to find candidates for and should not take them too long. However, the more challenging task lies in a handful of more attractive seats, those that appear more winnable, which have become available following the recent resignations of Tory MPs. Examples of such seats include Jo Churchill's Bury St Edmunds seat, Andrea Leadsom's South Northamptonshire seat, and Michael Gove's Surrey Heath seat. These constituencies have majorities of 24,999 votes, 27,761 votes, and 18,349 votes, respectively. The Conservatives will want to select their candidates much more carefully here as whoever they select stands a much greater chance of winning. Conclusion All in all, this is going to be a tricky task for the Conservatives, and whether they succeed is anyone's guess at this point. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yangfx/support

In a first for our podcasts, we delve into the world of government and parliament. RCPCH President Camilla Kingdon speaks with Dame Andrea Leadsom MP, Conservative Member of Parliament for South Northamptonshire about her experiences of advocating for infant and child health. Dame Andrea wants every baby to have the best start in life - a message shared by the College. She chaired the Government's Early Years Healthy Development Review and its March 2021 report, The best start for life, a vision for the 1001 critical days, outlines areas for action to improve the health outcomes of all babies in England, including new Family Hubs. She now chairs the Start for Life Unit, a team of civil servants tasked with implementing the review's recommendations. Dame Andrea talks with Camilla about her experiences of championing infant and child health in Parliament, and why she's so passionate and focused on this early period of life. Camilla asks how paediatricians can use their voice to support policy change, particularly where there are competing priorities, and how to consider poverty's impact on child health outcomes. Ensuring decision-makers introduce the best public policy for children and young people is an important part of our work at RCPCH. We engage regularly with Ministers, senior civil servants, MPs, Lords and advisers on a wide range of matters. On some occasions, like this one, that will mean engaging with individuals from specific political parties. However, we never endorse political parties or movements, and work with representatives of all parties equally and that remains the case with this podcast. We are grateful to Dame Andrea for sharing her views as someone with a central role in government policymaking on early years. Do keep an eye out on our podcasts for future conversations with policymakers from across the political spectrum.

Andrea Leadsom, MP for South Northamptonshire, Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons speaks at CER fringe event at the Conservative party conference: 'How to handle Brexit'

The Institute for Government welcomed the Rt Hon. Andrea Leadsom MP, Conservative Member of Parliament for South Northamptonshire, Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons. At this event, she gave a speech on the legislative landscape and Brexit, and was in conversation with Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government. This was followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Andrea Leadsom and Theresa May are vying to be the next Conservative leader and Britain's second ever female prime minister. Mark Coles explores how a little-known junior energy minister was propelled into the limelight by the televised referendum debates and now stands a chance of leading not only her party but also her country. She is a relative newcomer to politics, having been elected to Parliament in 2010 when she won her seat in South Northamptonshire. She cooks an excellent roast dinner and has strong family values. Before becoming an MP she had a long career in the city but this has come under scrutiny this week with some claiming she has exaggerated past roles. We take a closer look at her CV and ask - does it stack up? Presenter: Mark Coles Producers: Laura Gray and Sarah Shebbeare.
