Rishi Sunak has taken the lead in the Tory leadership race after Suella Braverman was knocked out in the second round

Rishi Sunak, who remains the frontrunner said he was "incredibly grateful" for the support of Tory MPs.

The third round of voting will take place on Monday and will continue until only two contenders remain. A spokeswoman for Ms Truss said: "Today's results show that Liz Truss is attracting a wide range of supporters from across the Conservative Party."As Liz set out in her speech now is the time for MPs to unite behind the candidate who will cut taxes, deliver the real economic change we need, continue to deliver the benefits of Brexit and ensure Putin loses in Ukraine.

Treasury Chief Secretary Simon Clarke said there was a limited pool of support they could have plausibly won over from the supporters of the candidates eliminated in the first round.

If Rishi gets the prime minister's job ,who would be his chancellor,I hope he does a better job than him, he's given us highest taxes for 50 years,high inflation,cost of living ,low growth and people think he's done a good job I rest my case

Why are all these brexiteers suddenly backing a remainer?

What’s Truss promised her?

christ on a bike

Rishi will win. He's got rich mates in The City and they'll influence the voters.
