If not Suella Braverman, who can lead the Tories to an election win? | LBC analysis

Suella Braverman’s hopes for Tory leadership have encountered an early setback as a key supporter is reportedly preparing to back Robert Jenrick instead.

Although no one has formally launched a campaign to replace Rishi Sunak following the disastrous 4 July election result, Ms Braverman is expected to be a front runner. However, the former Home Secretary’s anticipated campaign has been described as “dead before it has even started,” with right-wing MP Danny Kruger said to support Mr Jenrick.

In a sign of how long the contest could extend, former Business Secretary Kevin Hollinrake stated on Monday that a leadership race could last until the end of the year, adding, “I don’t think there is any rush.”

Tory grandee and former MP Sir Simon Clarke speaks to Andrew Marr about his Party's failure at the General Election and progress for the future.
