Liz Truss looks nailed on to beat Rishi Sunak in the vote to choose Boris Johnson’s replacement as Conservative Party leader and Britain’s next prime minister, according to Britain’s bookmakers.
The at least 160,000-strong party membership had until 5pm on Friday 2 September to submit their ballots, which were then counted over the weekend so that the winner can be announced by Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee, at 12.30pm today.
