Matt Hancock quits Tory leadership race

Matt Hancock reveals to Sky News why he has dropped out of the Conservative leadership race.

He told Sky’s Beth Rigby: “I did better-than-expected but it’s also clear among those arguments for candidate of the future is not where the party is at the moment.”

In the first ballot he gained 20 MP’s support but would have needed another 13 or faced elimination.
