Publication of Foreign Office annual report on global rights was due before parliamentary summer recess
Lord Wood of Anfield, a Labour peer and member of the Lords international relations committee said: “At best, this is another example of how the business of government has ground to a halt while Liz Truss is engaged in her acrimonious contest with Rishi Sunak. At worst, I suspect it is a cynical attempt by the foreign secretary to delay scrutiny over what the report says about Rwanda. Either way, there is no good reason for this unprecedented delay.
Interviewed on Thursday on ITV’s This Morning, Sunak said he “definitely” had a chance of winning the contest, despite Truss’s poll leads. Truss has now agreed to be interviewed by Nick Robinson on BBC1, the corporation said. However, this will happen on 30 August, just three days before the close of voting.

UK Conservatives see Liz Truss as someone who’ll ‘protect Boris Johnson’s legacy’Freshwater Strategy Director Michael Turner says he thinks members of the Conservative Party see UK Foreign Secretary Lizz Truss as someone who will protect Boris Johnson’s legacy. Polling shows Ms Truss is on course to win the race to replace Mr Johnson as British prime minister. The gap between her and the second candidate, former chancellor Rishi Sunak, has narrowed - but time might be running out for him with majority having already voted. “The interesting thing about this poll is it shows that if Boris Johnson was on the ticket today, he would beat both candidates,” Mr Turner told Sky News Australia. “So, he is still very, very popular with the membership, and that might well be the reason why Liz Truss is also ahead, because remember she’s still in the government. “She’s still part of Boris Johnson’s government, she didn’t resign, and she is almost the unofficial approved candidate for Number 10 if you like.”
