Tory leadership hopeful Tom Tugendhat has proudly stated that he ‘loves a tart’.
After coming fifth in yesterday’s first round of voting, he told the crowd he would not withdraw from the Tory leadership race.Mr Tugendhat said picking up 37 votes as a backbencher showed there was an appetite for a ‘clean start’, referring to his photographically questionable slogan.
Asked why he was staying in the race, the MP said: ‘Where will this go? I don’t know, I can’t tell you. ‘But I can tell you that a lot of people – a lot of people – are looking at the options before them today and thinking differently about the votes they made yesterday and that’s not surprising.’He added: ‘I offered to serve, and that’s what I’ll do, and it’s up to others to decide whether or not they they wish to have me.
The MP added balancing the economy can be done by investment in things like technology and different ways of taxing and spending.
