TUGENTWAT OUT

The dreadful Tom Tugendhat is the latest candidate to be knocked out of the Tory leadership contest.  MPs vote today and tomorrow in order to whittle down the list to a pair of finallists.

Kemi Badenoch slipped to third place, just one vote behind Robert Jenrick, while James Cleverly has stormed into an impressive lead.  One of the three will be drop out after tomorrow's vote and then party members will finally get a chance to vote.


It's now hard to bet against Cleverly making the final two, while Jenrick's consistent lead in earlier ballots may come to nothing if Badenoch gains votes tomorrow.  The outcome hinges on how Tugendhat's 20 backers vote...
