Rishi Sunak News: Rishi Sunak, who is trying hard to be elected the next Prime Minister of Britain, has suffered a major setback on Saturday. Former candidate and Conservative Party leader Tom Tugendhat has endorsed his rival and Foreign Minister Liz Truss. Tom Tugendhat, Tory MP and chairman of the House of Commons foreign affairs committee, said he prioritized the truce over the promise of immediate tax cuts. Tugendhat was on the list of candidates earlier this month before the party leader dropped out of the race for the post.
‘Liz has always stood by British values’
Tugendhat has also been a soldier in the British Army and is counted among the tallest leaders of the party as well as the country, so his opinion matters a lot. He said he had come to the conclusion that the truss should be supported after watching the candidates in live televised debates. She wrote in the newspaper ‘The Times’, ‘Liz has always stood up for British values at home and abroad. With leadership in her hands, she will undoubtedly move forward with a commitment to make the country much safer.
‘Both candidates have many merits but’
Tugendhat, however, also said that both the candidates are very special and both have tremendous talent but Truss is ahead of Sunak in some respects. “Both the rivals have a lot of talent and talent, but they have an edge on the world stage with Truss as a cabinet minister,” he said. As foreign minister, Truss enjoys a lot of edge. She will make sure our voice is heard. Let us tell you that earlier, another Tory MP and Defense Minister Ben Wallace also supported Truss, describing him as a real, honest and experienced leader.
Sunak accused of cheating Johnson
Sunak won the support of most MPs in the first few phases of voting by his party colleagues, but since then the truss has become more popular among Tory members. At the same time, a supporter of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson alleged that many Tory members believe Rishi Sunak stabbed Johnson in the back. However, responding to these allegations, Sunak had said that he had no other option but to resign due to differences over economic policies.
