Tories set for shift rightwards as MPs drop Cleverly

TORYISM is set to lurch sharply rightwards after Conservative MPs sent the two most neanderthal leadership candidates into the final ballot of party members.

In a shock result, today’s frontrunner James Cleverly lost votes and was eliminated from the race.

In the last MPs’ vote, Kemi Badenoch came first with 42 supporters, Robert Jenrick followed with 41 and Mr Cleverley brought up the rear with 37.
