More now on leadership hopeful Penny Mordaunt’s dismissal of reports she has offered Boris Johnson’s team her support in exchange for a prominent position.
Speaking to BBC One’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, she said the suggestion was “completely false” and insisted she was “in it to win it”.
Only 23 MPs have publicly come out to support Mordaunt’s bid so far.
But the Commons leader said she was “very confident” about making progress and pointed out that during the last leadership contest in the summer, she secured endorsements from 105 MPs.
