Rishi Sunak: We’re going to need someone who actually understands Brexit

Rishi Sunak hit out at the “forces that be” who are supporting Liz Truss as he gave a speech in Margaret Thatcher’s birthplace.

Speaing in Grantham, alled himself the “underdog” but stopped short of naming Ms Truss personally.

He told the crowd: “The forces that be want this to be a coronation for the other candidate. But I think members want a choice and they are prepared to listen.”
