Tory leadership candidates deny Boris Johnson cabinet position

Kemi Badenoch, Penny Mordaunt, Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss and Tom Tugendhat came together again today, July 17, for the latest round of ITV’s leadership debates.

It comes after more than 50 MPs resigned from ministerial positions within Mr Johnson’s government.
