BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.01pm post the following, " Mordaunt knocked out of contest...Penny Mordaunt has been knocked out of the Conservative leadership contest, meaning Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss will face each other in the run-off decided by party members. "
Lets Get Real:
This blog and others got the result right, its down to Former Chancellor Sunak versus the Foreign Secretary Liz Truss. On the whole this blog support Liz, she did not resign and betray PM Boris, while Sunak started the ball rolling that lead to the downfall of Boris. The Foreign Secretary taking the Northern Ireland Protocol through the House of Commons, one will be interested to hear if Sunak becomes PM will he use the Bill if it is needed to place pressure on the EU. It is reported that in Cabinet that the Chancellor was opposed to using the bill as a way to place pressure on the EU. The recent POLLS of Conservative membership have shown that the membership support LIZ over Rishi, Liz wants TAX CUTS KNOW, while Sunak wants to get inflation down then go for tax cuts. The UK economy needs a push to stay away from going in to recession, BIG TAX CUTS should help. The Summer is a long time, we shall see if Liz can keep her 20% over Sunak, a weeks is a long time in politics.
