YouGov poll puts Truss 34% ahead of Sunak with party members as hopefuls prepare for third hustings in Cardiff
A YouGov poll for The Times published last night showed that Liz Truss has a 34-point lead over her rival, Rishi Sunak, among Conservative Party members.
The poll, which the paper said was conducted over the past five days, showed 60% support for Truss versus 26% for Sunak, with the remainder undecided. Almost nine in 10 Tory members have already made up their minds about who to vote for, it said.

I think it is right that we in the West stay firm and strong against some of the pressures we see from (Vladimir) Putin’s regime, but also actually some of the challenges that we’re seeing from China, and, as somebody who’s been the security minister before, I’ve seen the growth in the economic power (and pressure) of China – it’s something that we need to be aware of.
