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.”
