James Cleverly has momentum after newest voting in Tory management contest – however closing outcome removed from clear

There isn’t any doubt who has momentum within the Tory management contest now.

James Cleverly pole-vaulted his rivals to first place – reaping the advantages of a well-thought-through, heat convention speech designed to make the get together be ok with itself.

A pitch from the Tory centre that to date seems to be interesting to all sides. Hopes in rival camps that the convention counted for little haven’t born out.

However this doesn’t by itself assure victory and past that, nonetheless nothing is definite.

Yet one more knockout spherical tomorrow earlier than the 170,000 or so members get their say, what clues are there within the outcomes and the briefings about what occurs subsequent?

At this time informed us three issues, because the remaining groups battle it out tonight to make sure their candidate makes it to the ultimate two.

What did we study:

• Kemi Badenoch is explicitly pitching to the Tory proper, suggesting she is making little effort to attraction to the majority of Tom Tugendhat’s supporters who’re largely – although not solely – one-nation Conservatives. Tonight in a press release she calls for “the right of the Conservative Party now needs to coalesce around Kemi” – this implies she continues to be making an attempt to nibble away at Robert Jenrick backers, regardless that she fell behind Jenrick right this moment. It is a notably daring technique given a few of the ERG (European Analysis Group) fell out with Ms Badenoch when Rishi Sunak was prime minister.

• Robert Jenrick is shedding momentum. Rival camps are capitalising on a drop in help for Mr Jenrick, from 33 MP votes within the final spherical to 31 votes right this moment. Nonetheless, I used to be informed by Jenrick supporters that he would get 35-40 votes right this moment, suggesting that he has severely underperformed expectations. It seems the convention has carried out him some injury – his speech appeared much less well-received than others – costing him the highest spot amongst MPs.

• Is James Cleverly to date out in entrance he dares to try to engineer Jenrick as his opponent within the closing spherical? Within the YouGov ballot of Tory members taken earlier than the convention speeches, Mr Jenrick was solely 4 factors forward of Mr Cleverly, whereas Ms Badenoch was additional in entrance. Given the margins between second and third place are so small, may he “lend” some votes to get a neater opponent over the road?

Tugendhat out of Tory management race

YouGov polling revealed that among the many common public, Tory MPs right this moment ejected the most well-liked of the contenders for the crown – Mr Tugendhat, with Mr Cleverly and Mr Jenrick tied and Ms Badenoch the least standard.

However what do the all-important Tory members truly care about?

YouGov’s AI Matter Quantifier bought Tory members to say what qualities they needed in a pacesetter.

High of the listing was the members’ want for “integrity and honesty”, and second is “conservative values”. Solely a tiny fraction – 2% – needed “winning the election.”

This underlines why it stays removed from clear what the end result might be, wherever momentum could also be tonight.
