Boris Johnson has arrived in Glasgow ahead of leadership hustings in Perth later today.

The MP stepped out of a helicopter at the Police Heliport in Govan on Friday afternoon.

He and fellow leadership contender Jeremy Hunt will face Scottish party members in Perth.

It is the latest in a series of events across the country which see the two candidates speak to local members and take questions from a host and audience.

Johnson is currently the front runner in the Conservative leadership race, and said he will make Britain "the greatest place on Earth" if he gains the keys to 10 Downing Street.

With some party members already reportedly having received their postal ballot papers - two days earlier than previously expected - Mr Johnson said he was "fighting for every vote".

"I'm taking nothing for granted," the former foreign secretary told the Daily Telegraph.

"It's time to drive for the line, keeping the ball at the back of the scrum. I'm fighting for every vote and campaigning flat out and will be from now until the end."
