Davies beats Davies – in the battle to succeed Davies. The result was announced by Davies.
This is collective punishment for the new Brexit policy. P.S: when ratings fall in this way, place in the table scarcely matters.
Meanwhile, Williamson and Johnson’s approval ratings are in the doldrums.
Also: Grieve says Irish Sea border is ‘completely unacceptable’; Sturgeon reshuffles Cabinet as SNP delay flagship education bill.
If Ministers believe that 30p on annual bills is too high a price, they should seek the right number – and a deal to get us there.
Truss moves up into the middle of the table, Williamson drops towards the floor, and Gauke slumps into the red over Warboys.
The International Development Secretary’s response to the Oxfam scandal appears to have impressed Party members.
And the Prime Minister, tenth in the table last time round, is back in negative territory and second from bottom.
Davidson and Mordaunt also score highly, whilst the Chancellor and Chief Whip both languish with negative scores.
And after hitting a personal low last month, the Budget seems to have got the Chancellor (just) back into the membership’s good books.
Davis, Gove, and Fallon make up the top three again, but satisfaction levels overall are low. And Davidson is out-polling every Cabinet member.

Rudd falls with him, May is almost out of negative territory…and Davidson continues to soar up, up and away.
Maybe it was ever thus, at least in modern times, but Tory-held suburban seats outside the South-East are under-represented at the top table.
Seema Kennedy becomes the Prime Minister’s second PPS. Brexiteer Kwasi Kwarteng is PPS to Philip Hammond. And much, much more.
If Ministers believe that 30p on annual bills is too high a price, they should seek the right number – and a deal to get us there.
