This is a fantastic result.
I’m delighted to be going through to the next round with the momentum we need to change this country for the better.

Betfair next PM:-

4.8 Rishi Sunak 20%
5.6 Liz Truss 17%
22 Kemi Badenoch 4%
44 Tom Tugendhat
150 Suella Braverman
160 Dominic Raab0 -
Mordaunt certainly more likely to make it to the membership than either Badenoch or Truss on these figures.
With all the flaws of Sunak or Mordaunt that would not be the worst outcome. At
least with those two you feel you're cooking with gas, as the saying goes.1 -
Mike Dean, showing once more why he's a great referee.
Mike Dean says that fans should be able to listen to referees and VARs debating decisions — and believes that the change will come in the near future.
Dean, 54, who retired from refereeing at the end of last season after 22 years in the Premier League to become a full-time VAR, believes that the clubs will get behind the idea too, especially if they can charge for the service.
“I think in three or four years it will come in and we will be able to hear what is being said between the referee and the VAR,” he told The Times.
“David Dein, when he was running Arsenal, said when headsets were introduced years ago that he wanted fans to be able to pay £5 or £10 to listen in. The clubs would go for that, if they can make money from charging for headsets to listen in, and it could be another thing for advertising.
“They have it in snooker and rugby and we will definitely see it come in in the next five years. I think it’s a good thing if you can explain your decision, but I think it should only be when the referee is talking to the VAR that you are listening in. It shouldn’t be every single thing you say.”

Sorry Mike, but the thread is completely wrong. The big plunge in Mordaunt’s odds happened earlier today - in reaction to (as far as we can tell) - the yougov poll of Tory party members.
The betdata chart isn’t real-time.
Sorry, I’m not being an arse for the sake of it. These threads (and comments) form a useful archive for punters for future con leadership contests.3 -

IF Truss could get all of Badenoch and Braverman she is guaranteed to be in the Final.
But can she do that?
IF she can, then Penny may need to get some MPs to switch to her from Sunak.0 -

They should really have set a bar of 40 votes.
Rough on Tugendhat but as an ex-soldier he should understand that his duty to his country may require personal sacrifice.1 -
A problem for Truss is the risk of falling behind Badenoch.
If most of Braverman switches to Badenoch then Badenoch could well get ahead of Truss, resulting in a Final 3 of Sunak, Mordaunt and Badenoch.2 -

Could be a lot of MPs are hearing the same and would back up the polling. Will be interesting to see how many do switch to her.0 -
Braverman really ought to pull out before the next round because she's going to get zero per cent of Hunt's votes and maybe only one or two from Zahawi at best.2

No way can Tug or Braverman win this. So surely, even if they stay in the race, they will start leaching support now.
Tory MPs will realise only 4 can realistically win this and will vote accordingly. Either for their preferred one of the 4 or to try and prevent one of the 4 that they don't want making the final 2.1 -

How much churn are we likely to see?Andy_JS said:Braverman really ought to pull out before the next round because she's going to get zero per cent of Hunt's votes and maybe only one or two from Zahawi at best.
With Braverman and Tugendhat clearly going to be also-rans, might their backers start pondering whether to back Truss/Mordaunt to increase their chances of getting to the run-off? Or indeed, backing Sunak to try and consolidate his lead?
Truss needs to do a lot better if she's not to look like a loser.2 -

BETTING VALUE?
WTF is up with the Badenoch odds?
She is 20/1 in old money and 23 on Betfair
To me this underrates her chances, if she can overtake Truss she will be THE candidate of the right; and if she mkes the final she would beat Sunak and it would be close against Mordaunt4 -
Whisper it, but there must be a decent chance that we get Penny v Kemi.1

Rishi now 1.41 to make Final 2 - was 1.15 yesterday.

Truss figure sneaks under radar but the main take out is how powerful the right is in this ballot. Braverman and Badenoch still there with 72! But I fear Penny can’t make it now on that result.
Badenoch: 40
Braverman: 32
Truss: 50
Zahawi:25
147
I can’t see Penny getting near that. Nor Rishi. I can see Sunak finishing second to Truss and in danger from Penny.
Grim for Conservative moderates with so many votes for the right of the party.
Tell me I am wrong.0 -

This Conservative leadership is election is now @PennyMordaunt's to lose - if she can get in front of Party members. @ConHome's survey earlier this week suggests she would defeat all comers at that stage.

Late afternoon all
Just finished another absurdly hot afternoon's work and if the forecasts are right, so the song has it "I ain't seen nothin' yet".
Then there were six - I wouldn't read too much into numbers. For a party which sneers at tactical voting, the parliamentarians seems able to do it in spades.
I presume the plan will be to set a higher threshold for the next ballot - say 100 (seriously, probably 50) which should get us from six to three or four.0 -
