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.

Iain Dale: The stars are aligning for a Johnson premiership

Plus: Leadsom is a mensch. The Euro-elections may be a Conservative wipeout. And: my interview with Blair.

Mel Stride is appointed Leader of the House of Commons

The former Treasury Minister is regarded as a “safe pair of hands”. However, he may not stay in post for long.

Leadsom refused to support an EU second referendum plan that she had not approved

It could just be that the next Minister to depart will be none other than the Prime Minister herself.

“There has been a complete breakdown of collective responsibility.” The Commons leader’s resignation letter. Full text.

Leadsom quits – and slams May’s deal as now proposed; the second referendum plan and the by-passing of Cabinet.
