ONE of the frontrunners in the Tory leadership battle has been knocked back after claiming she will “break the SNP’s Yellow Wall” if chosen to head up the party.

Penny Mordaunt is one of the favourites to take over from interim prime minister Boris Johnson after he was finally forced to step down last week.
