Tories 'not ready' for no-deal warnings

Rory Stewart says some Conservative MPs β€œdon’t seem to be ready" for warnings he has made about the effect of a no-deal Brexit.

The freshly eliminated leadership contender said some of his warnings β€œprobably proved to be truths that people weren't quite ready to hear”.

Mr Stewart, who was knocked out of the race after the third ballot of MPs, added: β€œWe don’t have to try to appease the Nigel Farage, Brexit Party side of our party - or Jeremy Corbyn.

β€œThe long-term future of our party and our country must be in the centre ground of politics."
