These are some of the candidates the travel industry suggest would be a “top candidate” for Sunak’s new transport secretary, as the sector voices its frustration at the political chaos and damage wrought on the economy.

TTG readers were polled ahead of Rishi Sunak being crowned prime minister this week, and were asked if they believed Sunak was the best person to be prime minister.

While 40% agreed he was, 45% replied no, insisting it is time for a general election.

Meanwhile 3% favoured Penny Mordaunt and 12% said they wished Boris Johnson had run.
