Suella Braverman out of Tory leadership race as Rishi Sunak leads with 101 votes - as it happened

6.00pm BST

Early evening summary

• Penny Mordaunt was handed another key boost in the race to make the final two of the Conservative leadership race, with votes putting her in pole position to take on the frontrunner, Rishi Sunak, and the outsider Suella Braverman being eliminated.

• Boris Johnson is planning to stage parliamentary interventions on Ukraine, Brexit and levelling up, with allies of the outgoing prime minister hinting that those are the areas of his legacy he believes to be most under threat from his potential successor.

• Proposals to reform gambling laws have been postponed for a fourth time amid turmoil at the top of the Conservative party, sparking outrage from campaigners who warned the delay would cost lives.

• Nicola Sturgeon has accused Labour of giving “the proverbial two fingers” to Scottish voters, as she warned that regardless of who wins the Tory leadership race it is “virtually certain” to mean a further shift to the right for the UK.

A Mordaunt campaign source played down the suggestion Leadsom is a dead cert for the Treasury, saying: "Nothing pledged, nothing offered"

The last time Leadsom came close to being offered the post of chancellor by a campaign was in 2016, when Boris Johnson was meant to offer her the post in return for her endorsement. But a letter containing the pledge was never handed over, Leadsom decided to run herself, and the setback contributed to Michael Gove deciding to withdraw support from Johnson, and Johnson abandoning his campaign.
