Odds on Liz Truss to leave her role this year have tumbled to 1/2 from 5/6 with Suella Braverman resigning as home secretary.

It is more unwanted news for the Tories, who are 6/1 to win a majority at the next General Election, with Labour the 10/11 odds-on favourites to beat them.

Rishi Sunak is the 11/5 frontrunner to replace Truss as the next Tory leader, with Penny Mordaunt 4/1.
