Liz Truss delivered a body blow to rival Rishi Sunak by saying that Boris Johnson would make a better PM than him.
Asked at a hustings event in Norwich who she we would prefer to see in No10, Ms Truss - who remained in the cabinet even as dozens of Tory MPs quit early last month - responded: "Boris Johnson."
Earlier, asked the same question, Mr Sunak had been more generous, telling an audience of Tory faithful that the party had to "move forward" and naming Ms Truss.
