Rishi Sunak labels himself the underdog as ‘forces that be’ back Liz Truss
Rishi Sunak used a speech in Grantham to label himself the 'underdog' in the Tory leadership contest, as he battles to become the next prime minister over Liz Truss.
He addressed Tory party members in the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher as voting gets closer.

He also addressed the need for a new “radicalism” in government, as well as tackling inflation and Brexit.
