Conservative lawmakers are voting in a second round in the contest to decide their next leader and therefore UK Prime Minister.

The candidate that comes last - and any that doesn't receive 33 votes from fellow MPs - will be knocked out of the race.

Rival candidate Dominic Raab is still refusing to rule out shutting down Parliament to force through a 'no deal' Brexit if that's required to guarantee a leaving date of October 31st.
