Andrew Marr: Boris Johnson wants "anyone but Rishi Sunak", but will his influence be enough for Liz Truss to win?

Subscribe on YouTube

Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss are now the final two candidates in the Conservative leadership race - but who is going to win?

The race has been whittled down to Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss as the final two via a "very, very savage campaign" against other candidates, with Boris Johnson still "hanging over" the contest - Andrew Marr.

Andrew Marr, Anoosh Chakelian and Rachel Cunliffe discuss how the Johnson “loyalist” and the “traitor” emerged victorious, whether Boris Johnson will indeed be back as he hinted in his final PMQs, and how the climate emergency that overshadows this race.
