Rishi Sunak will lead the Tories into the next general election, the transport secretary insisted amid reports of a plot to oust him.

Mark Harper dismissed speculation some Conservative rebels want the prime minister to be replaced with Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt. Asked on Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips if Mr Sunak will still be leader at the next election, Mr Harper said: 'Yes he will. 'And he'll take us into that election and he'll set out very clearly that we're a government with a plan.

'That is the approach that the prime minister takes as well,' he added. 'He focuses on making the right decisions, even if in the short term they're not necessarily popular.... I'm confident those decisions will pay off.' This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly. Please refresh the page for the fullest version.
