Penny Mordaunt: Tory leadership candidate surges ahead as forecast says she'll win most MPs

A shock forecast has claimed Penny Mordaunt could get the most MPs' votes after she surged ahead in the Tory leadership contest.

The candidate list has been whittled down to six now with Jeremy Hunt and Nadhim Zahawi eliminated after failing to receive 30 votes in the first ballot of Tory MPs.

Further ballots will be held until there are two candidates left and then it will be down to party members to choose the leader through a postal vote.
