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.

ConHome’s leadership election panel. “May’s successors deserve better than a lame duck PM half-emptying the fiscal cupboard.”

Each week, our panel of John O’Sullivan, Rachel Wolf, Trevor Phillips, Tim Montgomerie and Marcus Roberts will analyse and assess what’s happening.

“I ran as the candidate of the future”. Hancock withdraws from the leadership race.

“I will look for the best way to advance the values we fought for…underpinned by an optimistic belief in the value of each individual person.”

The TV Tory leadership debates are an opportunity for candidates and the Party – not simply a risk

We don’t expect them to be easy for any candidate. But since when was becoming Prime Minister meant to be easy?

Lord Ashcroft: What my focus groups of wavering Conservative voters told me about the Tory leadership contest

For most in our groups, the strongest candidates were Johnson, Hunt and Javid, though Stewart had also stuck in several people’s minds.

Iain Dale: Johnson – unstoppable now, unless he unstops himself

Many will hope that Gove and Hunt duke it out in a constructive way for the right to take on the man who is the clear winner from the week’s events.

But no fun at all for May and Hammond.

It doesn’t matter how far ahead one candidate is, this race must run all the way

Predictably, some MPs apparently think it can all be left down to them to settle now. But it can’t, and it mustn’t. Country and party deserve a full contest.

The Foreign Secretary has got tough with devocrats pursuing their own foreign policy, whilst his predecessor picks up several endorsements from Scottish and Welsh MPs.

Next Tory Leader. Our eve of poll snap survey. Johnson wins over half the vote – a record high.

In our view, his support is a mix of genuine enthusiasm and a certain resignation: a sense that now is the time to give him a go.

Sajid Javid: I’m in this race because I want to level the playing field, to lower the ladder to everyone.

I am used to people trying to tell me what I can’t do, and I’m used to proving people wrong. I know that our party can fix the problems the nation faces.
