Michael Gove says Liz Truss tax plans 'holiday from reality' as he backs Rishi Sunak

Michael Gove has endorsed Rishi Sunak to be the next prime minister as he accused rival Liz Truss of taking a "holiday from reality" with her tax plans.

He added that he does not expect to return to frontline politics, as he backed Mr Sunak - the self-styled "underdog" in the race to replace the outgoing prime minister.
