The Sunday Telegraph – Mordaunt is ‘stalking horse for right-wing Tory rival’

The Sunday Telegraph reports on Penny Mordaunt reportedly being eyed up for Rishi Sunak’s leader role – but the paper cites allies of Ms Mordaunt who say the House of Commons Leader is being used to “lure” centrist MPs into backing a leadership contest.

Elsewhere, England rugby player Marcus Smith is pictured on the front page as the paper looks at the Six Nations match in Lyon which saw France secure the runner-up spot after a narrow 33-31 win over England.
