Tom Tugendhat , Kemi Badenoch , James Cleverly , Robert Jenrick , Priti Patel and Mel Stride are all in the race to be Tory leader.
The “beginning of the end’s end”, to bastardise Churchill , starts today , when Conservative MPs will have their first chance to whittle down the candidates list.
So far, the polls strongly suggest Badenoch still leads against all of her rivals.
But it is notoriously difficult to poll Conservative members there isn’t even any publicly available data on how many, let alone who, they are.
Luke Tryl at More in Common has done some fascinating analysis of focus groups.
Key themes that emerge are lack of trust, lack of relatability to ordinary people, and incompetence.
