I’ve thought for several months that it will be one of Patel, Badenoch, Braverman. Although rumour is Braverman is struggling to get enough MPs to support her.

It will likely be a One nation Tory who has the most backing of MPs vs one of the name above. With one of those names winning among the Conservative membership.
It will not be anyone from the right of the party, although I do not know how many are left now.

lol
Tugendhat has put himself forward.

He could make an interesting choice of Tory leader, given his positions on defence and foreign policy in such volatile times.

Given the first stage will be determined by MPs, here's a spreadsheet of endorsements to date: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z66vstPc0ZRXDAVxUBwoi6sAia4DnXKRESta32k85dM/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Bumping this given it's conference week and they're all making gaffes :bump:
The various pronouncements by Badenoch are starting to remind me a lot of Liz Truss.
