The private hustings saw several Tory leadership hopefuls take turns in setting out their case to lead the party.
Mr Raab told the behind-closed-doors meeting that he had"seen the EU upfront and personal" and"as Brexit secretary I looked our EU opposite numbers in the eyes"."That's why we don't just need a conviction Brexiteer. We need someone who is resolute, but someone who can navigate the rocky path ahead and get Brexit delivered.
Environment Secretary Michael Gove told the hustings he would be prepared to delay Brexit if he was getting close to a deal, while Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he was the best person to"negotiate a new approach". He said he had met German leader Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron earlier in the day and warned MPs that a"hardline" approach on Brexit would meet with a similar response in Brussels.He said:"At the moment we only have bad choices. We risk parliament blocking no deal and the EU blocking a better deal, so we need a leader who can negotiate a new approach.
