(UTV|COLOMBO) – Dominic Raab has been making his pitch to become Conservative leader, as Michael Gove becomes the eighth MP to join the race to succeed Theresa May.
Mr Raab told the BBC he would fight for a “fairer” Brexit deal with the EU – but if that were not possible, the UK would leave with no deal in October.
Mr Gove confirmed he would run to “deliver Brexit” and unite the party.
Chancellor Philip Hammond said it would be a “dangerous strategy” to ignore Parliament, which has opposed no-deal.
