Before Penny Mordaunt’s interview, we heard from Laura Kuenssberg’s panel.
Senior Conservative MP and former party leader, Iain Duncan-Smith says he does not yet know who he is going to support to be the next prime minister.
He tells the programme “I desperately want my party to settle down”.
He added the party should choose someone that everyone is “going to get behind”. He also said the party must decide if it truly wants to “make a go of these last two years” until the next election.
Meanwhile, the director of the Nuffield Politics Research Centre at Oxford University and an elections analyst, Jane Green, said the Labour lead in recent polls is “really significant” and that what the public cares about is the economy and not a Tory leadership contest.
Former governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, also highlighted the difficult economic situation the UK, and other countries around the world find themselves in: “Public finances both in the US and the UK were not put on a sustainable track,” he said, adding that central banks have lost control of inflation.
