Tory party members will choose between two final candidates, selected by MPs, as part of the two-stage selection process.

YouGov also paired off candidates to simulate head-to-head contests - its analysis suggests Mordaunt would be the victor against any of the other seven contenders - among party members.

Tory Party members must really like the "Dommy Mommy" archetype.

Thatcher casts a looooong shadow.

Mike.
