All five Tory leadership candidates rule out general election if they become prime minister

The five remaining Conservative leadership candidates were asked if they would support a General Election during the latest round of ITV debates.

Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt, Tom Tugendhat, Kemi Badenoch, and Liz Truss all came together again for the latest round of Tory leadership debates.
