Backers of Foreign Secretary Liz Truss have attacked Tory leadership rival Penny Mordaunt, as they fight to stay in the race to succeed Boris Johnson.Former Brexit Minister Lord Frost said Mordaunt did not "master detail" and ex-party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith questioned her level of experience.
Mordaunt said rivals were trying to stop her as they did "not want to run against me" in a vote by Tory members.
She also promised she would "not engage" in negative campaigning.
Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak came first in Thursday's second round of voting by Conservative MPs for a new party leader and prime minister, with Mordaunt second and Truss third.
