The ten candidates who will contest the Conservative Party’s leadership election

So no more dropouts after Sam Gyimah’s departure earlier this afternoon. The first ballot will be held on Thursday.

Andrea Leadsom answers ConservativeHome readers’ questions

The former Leader of the House responds to the ConHome audience.

ConHome’s snap leadership election survey. Johnson puts on ten points – and bestrides our table like a colossus

He is set to cakewalk this contest if his colleagues in the Commons put his name before the members.

Conservative leadership election. Candidates’ polices – full list

Each week, we’ll be summarising the announcements made by those vying to succeed May as Prime Minister.

This week’s winner in the Tory leadership election is…Johnson

The vocation of the front-runner is not to mess up. And he hasn’t. Indeed, he has picked up support – and upped the pace.

Iain Dale: The tragi-comedy of the collapse of Change UK

Plus: Sympathy for the Downing Street SpAds. The case for chemical castration. And: my interviews with the Tory leadership candidates.

Chris Heaton-Harris: Why I am voting for Leadsom

There is nobody else running in this contest who understands the EU quite as well as Andrea does.

Garvan Walshe: The Queen dragged into party politics. Or an election that risks a Marxist Government. Make your choice, hard Brexiteers.

Incrementalism might be the only way through Brexit. Gove appears to be toying with this very idea.

Now Malthouse withdraws from the leadership election. “There is an appetite for this contest to be over quickly.”

He leaves the field as the 1922 Committee agrees and announces rules for the conduct of the election.

There’s no majority in this Commons for anything. This Conservative contest is faltering because candidates won’t face that fact.

WATCH: Leadsom insists she wants a ‘managed exit’ – not ‘no deal’

“What I’m talking about is making an offer to the European Union for things we’ve already agreed… in the Withdrawal Agreement.”

Rachel Wolf: Would-be Prime Ministers should be wary of the long-term cost of short-term policy pledges

Campaigning through policy might be effective, but each promise made by a leadership candidate with little time for thought or research is a hostage to fortune.

Our survey. Next Tory Leader. So much excitement, so little change. Johnson maintains his lead.

He, Raab and Gove are in the same order as last month – first, second and third. No other candidate reaches double figures.
