Ms Truss is backed by 48 per cent of Conservative Party members compared with 43 per cent for former finance minister Sunak, according to a poll of 807 people by Italian data company Techne, carried out July 19 to 27.

Ms Truss was criticised by the main opposition party and some Conservative lawmakers on Tuesday after she vowed to save billions of pounds a year by tailoring public sector pay to the cost of living in the region where people work rather than having a national pay agreement.
"Our hard-working frontline staff are the bedrock of society, and there will be no proposal taken forward on regional pay boards for civil servants or public sector workers," a spokesman for Ms Truss said.
