Mel Stride admits considering Tory leadership bid
Former cabinet minister Mel Stride admits he is considering a Conservative Party leadership bid, saying “I haven’t decided yet, a number of colleagues have approached me”.
The shadow work and pensions secretary is viewed as a safe pair of hands within the party and was frequently sent out to tour broadcast studios to defend Rishi Sunak's leadership during the party’s unsuccessful general election campaign.
