Boris Johnson refuses to rule out returning as prime minister

Consumer champion Martin Lewis has invited either Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak to join him for a live grilling over energy once they are installed as prime minister.

Addressing the Tory leadership rivals on Twitter, the MoneySavingExpert founder said: “I’d like to formally invite you, as the new PM, to join me asap once you take office for a special hour’s @itvMLshow discussion/Q&A to answer/ease people’s concerns.”

His invitation came ahead of the final leadership hustings at Wembley Arena on Wednesday evening, where Mr Sunak and Ms Truss will face off one last time before votes close on Friday.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson insisted Britain is “not broken” on his final week as prime minister, as he said the last three years has helped to make the country “fit for the future”.

“Which is the country that attracts more venture capital investment now than China? It’s the United Kingdom … Why do people want to come here? Because it is the place to be,” he said.
