Tory heavyweight Sajid Javid has backed likely winner Liz Truss in the race for Number 10.
Mr Javid, who had kept his cards close to his chest after his own leadership campaign came crashing down, warned that Rishi Sunak's policies would lead Britain “sleepwalking" into a high-tax, low-growth economy.
The former cabinet member - who has served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary, and Health Secretary - this evening said he was backing Ms Truss to be the next PM, The Times reports.
