Ex-Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said it would be 鈥渂eneficial鈥� for any future Labour leader to get the job through a leadership contest.

Mr Sunak, who became PM without a contest when Liz Truss resigned, said reflecting on his own experience that a having a debate over ideas meant a new leader would 鈥渉ave a mandate鈥�.

Speaking to Radio 4鈥檚 Today programme, he said he would advise any new PM to 鈥渇ocus overwhelmingly on delivering economic growth鈥� as the 鈥渟ingle biggest priority鈥� for the UK.

He also spoke about the "financial literacy" findings by the Richmond Project, the financial charity he and his wife started, that four in ten people lack a proper understanding of key terms of managing money.
