Suella Braverman has warned the Tories under Rishi Sunak are "heading for defeat" at the general election - but appeared to rule herself out of an imminent leadership bid.

The former Home Secretary, who was sacked in November, said she is not planning to try to topple the under-fire before the country heads to ballot boxes. She admitted she is "very concerned" about the Tories' polling figures and the "uncomfortable" and "honest" truth was that the PM was heading for a defeat. She demanded the Government "go further" and show it was "serious about stopping the boats".
