Mel Stride has been eliminated in the second round of the Tory leadership contest. The little known frontbencher did not add to his tally of 16 votes from the first round and finished last.
Priti Patel's first round votes were distributed between Kemi Badenoch (+6), Robert Jenrick (+5) and Tom Tugendhat (+4). James Cleverly did not add to his total of 21, meaning he finished joint third alongside Tugendhat. There was an extra vote in play this time, with only two MPs not bothering to vote - compared to three last week.
The next stage of voting - again involving MPs - is not until October 9.
William Hill have currently got Jenrick as the favourite on 11-10. Badenoch's odds have shortened to 6-4, while Cleverly has drifted to 8-1 and Tugendhat has overtaken him on 7-1.
