Tory leadership: Tom Tugendhat backs Liz Truss
Former Tory leadership contender Tom Tugendhat has become the latest senior Conservative to back Liz Truss in the contest.
Mr Tugendhat, who was knocked out in fifth place, said the foreign secretary could unite the Conservative Party.
Writing in The Times, he said Ms Truss's international experience also persuaded him to endorse her.
Ms Truss and former chancellor Rishi Sunak are the final candidates in the contest to replace Boris Johnson.
Mr Tugendhat's endorsement of Ms Truss, who is now seen as the frontrunner in the contest, follows that of Defence Secretary Ben Wallace on Thursday.
