Jeremy Hunt has announced he is backing Rishi Sunak to be the next Prime Minister hours after the former health secretary was knocked out of the leadership contest
A second round of voting is set to take place tomorrow until only two candidates remain in the leadership contest.
"Nevertheless, it’s clear that our party has an exciting future, with the amazing array of talent on offer in this contest, and I feel confident that we are on track to win back trust. "I am extremely grateful to Jeremy for putting so much faith in me, and I have very much enjoyed working with him on his campaign over the last few days," the former Cabinet member and MP for Tatton said in a statement.
"The only threat to this country comes from Labour and their Lib Dem and SNP soulmates. That is the threat we must all unite to defeat."A spokeswoman for Liz Truss said: "Now is the time for colleagues to unite behind the candidate who will cut taxes, deliver the real economic change we need from day one and ensure Putin loses in Ukraine.
"I'm delighted to be going through to the next round with the momentum we need to change this country for the better. Our country needs #ACleanStart". "Many people, including myself, haven't got the balls to be perfectly frank to put themselves forward. So I respect him massively for having a go at it."
