Jess Phillips ask the one question that all the Tory leadership candidates should answer

Jess Phillips has called on Tory leadership candidates to explain themselves over the Chris Pincher scandal and improve their record on "sexual harassment".

Speaking during a debate on a vote of no-confidence in the government yesterday, the Labour MP called the Tories out for defending their record, and said she had "absolutely no confidence" in the government.

She said:

"l want to know what every one of the candidates who wants to be the prime minister did when that [Pincher's promotion at a time in which people were reportedly aware of allegations against him- happened. And I want to know what the Conservative party is going to do about its institutional problem where it cannot deal appropriately with complaints independently about sexual harassment."

It comes as the race has narrowed to four candidates battling it out to become the next PM. They are: Rishi Sunak, Kemi Badenoch, Liz Truss and Penny Mordaunt.

And yesterday, the government won the no confidence vote by 349 to 238, a majority of 111. The government strangely called the vote in itself after it rejected a Labour motion that singled out Johnson.
