Tories whittle to two

The Tories voted out James Cleverly MP (Braintree/Conservatives) in the final phase of the MP’s ballot for leadership of the party. It turns next to the party faithful to place their online vote. They’ve got until the end of the month.

Now left in the running are Kemi Badenoch MP (North West Essex/Conservatives) who won with 34.7% of the vote, and Robert Jenrick MP (Newark/Conservatives) who surged ahead to edge out Cleverly with 33.9% of the vote.
