RISHI SUNAK will visit the Stroud area tomorrow, Thursday (August 11) as part of his leadership campaign. 

The former chancellor - who is hoping to be the country's next Prime Minister - will visit the Stroud area after visiting Cotswolds recently. 

Mr Sunak will speak to almost 200 Conservative members and explain why he wants to be the country’s next leader. 

He’s also due to face opponent Liz Truss at a hustings in Cheltenham tomorrow evening. 

The two remaining candidates have until the end of August to convince around 160,000 Tory members why they should be the next party leader.

Stroud MP Siobhan Baillie endorsed Mr Sunak last month. 

She said: “When he was Chancellor, his quick thinking and creativity during the pandemic protected the jobs, livelihood and wellbeing of thousands across Stroud through furlough and grants and loans.”
