Lord Ashcroft’s Conference Diary: Perhaps Johnson really is the British Trump. And voters like it.

And: Gove says MPs can sit at weekends to get a deal through. Plus: Brisk business at the bookstall – and the menace of the “offence archaeologists”.

Which MP is backing which candidate. Our named estimates. Johnson 131, Hunt 48, Gove 36, Javid 22

Here’s our best stab at who is voting for whom, and this list will be updated each morning, as the contest continues.

Clark Vasey: Welcome to the Blue Collar Conservatism relaunch

Esther McVey with the support of MPs from across the party is refreshing and renewing the project.

Interview – Davies & McVey. They back May’s deal. “I don’t try to persuade Esther that she shouldn’t do something, and she doesn’t persuade me that I should do something.”

“We’ve both been on a very different journey…our views have aligned.”

Enter – or rather exit – the Spartans

A dedicated band of Conservative pro-Brexit holdouts stands ready to perish rather than let May’s deal pass.

After a turbulent evening, good news for May. Support for her deal doubles among Party members. Our survey.

A majority of our respondents still oppose it. But the trend is clear: fear of No Brexit is driving activists reluctantly to back the Withdrawal Agreement.

Robert Halfon: If you don’t like the backstop and you want a Brexit deal done quickly, there’s only one answer: Common Market 2.0

I voted for the Prime Minister’s deal today. But the Commons didn’t – and we now all need a positive alternative.

The 39 Conservative MPs who switched from opposing the Withdrawal Agreement to supporting it

Philip Davies, a famously long-standing and committed Brexiteer, is among their number.

The 22 Conservative MPs who voted against the Cooper amendment

We understand that 88 other Tory backbenchers didn’t vote on it, including Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab and Jacob Rees-Mogg.

How MPs say they will vote in today’s confidence ballot

We currently have it at 189 declared for May, versus the 31 publicly opposed, and 93 undeclared.

Jake Berry: What I found on my Northern Powerhouse tour. Resilience, skill, innovation and success. Plus an appetite for Brexit.

But more money and powers need to be given directly to the North to drive further progress.

Megan Trethewey: The power of the Great Green British Consumer

A third of consumers internationally are now choosing to ‘buy from brands they believe are doing social or environmental good’.

Chris White: Why it’s time radically to reform the Private Members’ Bill system

In the wake of the row over an anti-upskirting bill and Chris Chope’s objection, we re-run the author’s 2016 piece calling on the Government to act.

The Government must share the blame for the fall of the ‘upskirting’ ban

That a group of Tory MPs routinely block Private Members Bills is well known. Why did ministers allow this law to proceed in that vulnerable way?

Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: Corbyn has the charm of a perfectly working steam locomotive of the 1940s

The Labour leader claimed the Tories are privatising the NHS, and May sheltered behind what Labour did in power.
