Tom Tugendhat, Chairman of the UK Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Select Committee, holds an event to launch his candidacy for Conservative Party leader, following the resignation of Boris Johnson. The former army officer called for 'a return to service' and pledged to cut taxes. Answering questions about his dual Anglo-French citizenship, he quipped "I should have chosen my mother better when deciding to go into politics." Tugendhat also addressed reports of unlawful killings by SAS members in Afghanistan, saying he has 'absolutely no doubt that if there is any truth to these accusations, then the MOD will sort it out.'
