Iain Dale: Silly error, or malevolent ploy? Either way, Johnson has done himself no favours among Tory MPs.

The MPs, of course, pick the final two in a leadership race. Plus: the Westminster Transfer Window. And: my workaholic holiday.

Inside the minds of the Conservative grassroots

We know more today than we did yesterday – and we aim to know still more tomorrow.

Our Survey. Next Tory Leader. Johnson more than triples his score to come top – for the first time since 2016

It’s the Chequers factor – as Gove falls from second to fifth. Javid remains competitive on 19 per cent, coming second this month.
