Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg this morning, leadership hopeful Robert Jenrick explained why he is the man to turn around the fortunes of the Conservative Party after losing out to labour in the general election.

Itself that Hassan Nasrallah had been killed in what was a huge Air Strike Last Night here in the lebanese capital. We saw and heard the plume of smoke, we heard the repeated loud blast echoing across all the buildings you can see around me. We needed to wait over 12 hours for the confirmation. Israel said early on this morning they had killed Hassan Nasrallah. It was more a matter of waiting for hezbollah itself to make the confirmation before it became a 100 guaranteed report.
