James Cleverly finished third and last, with his vote falling from 39 to 37 votes.
With a secret ballot, we may never learn what happened but it is evident some supporters of Cleverly voted for other candidates.
This is further evidence that the centrists in the Tory parliamentary party are hopeless at leadership elections.
For at least some MPs, getting Cleverly into the final two was not going to be enough.
He needed to be up against the candidate who was least popular with party members.
Maybe, but a former ministerial colleague of hers discouragingly describes her biggest flaw as being “not interested in improving”. It is, in truth, a dreadful choice. I know of many current and former MPs who are contemplating abstaining or spoiling their ballot paper. In July I rejoined the party for the purposes of voting in the leadership election. On reflection, the 39 membership fee could have been better spent. [See also: We should be more generous to our politicians].
