@DunfieldPrayero Happy Easter

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

@ZiaYusufUK Zia, your party fought your local election campaign on a promise to cut council tax.

Every single one of the councils that you run is putting council tax up!

If you what to see duplicity look in the mirror.

[Gavin Barwell @GavinBarwell]

Over 17,000 @Prosper_UK_ supporters in just two weeks! And only about 1 in 3 voted Conservative in 2024 -proof there are lots of people with centre-right views who the party should be targeting me if it wants to recover. If *you* want pragmatic pro-growth politics, sign up 👇

[Rt Hon Alistair Burt @AlistairBurtUK]

I’m with Amber, Gavin and all those who know Nus. First rate representative and Parliamentarian.

[Stephen Hammond @S_Hammond]

@TomTugendhat @Nus_Ghani Well said Tom.

[Steve Brine @BrineHealth]

So it is no secret I am not exactly on the right of the Tory Party but this was a well crafted speech from @KemiBadenoch + it gave voice to a Conservative narrative that has been missing from British politics for a while. It isn’t filled by Reform or the Liberals. Well done Kemi

@pauljholmes @RishiSunak Your analysis is completely correct
Rishi is a man of integrity. He put the interests of Britain and our people first .Best wishes to him and his family for the future

[Benedict Rogers 羅傑斯 @benedictrogers]

I back @TomTugendhat to be the next Leader of the Conservative Party.

He's the future.

[Andy Street @andy4wm]

The past week at #CPC24 I spent my time championing a moderate, inclusive brand of Conservatism. One that focuses on real societal issues, not ideology.

To me @TomTugendhat embodies that best, & I hope MPs give members a proper choice on the different versions of Conservatism.

From @benedictrogers: Tugendhat's willingness to listen to campaigners is matched by his strength on China https://t.co/2yZCNQjDyR

[Nick Faith @nickfaith82]

Fascinating to see the disconnect between the political commentatariat and the public when it comes to judging which candidate delivered the most convincing conference speech.

Tory MPs should take note. While members choose the leader, the electorate chooses the PM.

NEW: @JLPartnersPolls focus group for @bbc5live with lost Tory voters

We showed the group clips of the main contenders' Conference speeches

💥 On Kemi Badenoch:
"Unconvincing"
"As bad as Suella Braverman"
"Strong, honest"
"It sounds a bit corporate. There was a lack of sincerity. It needed more oomph"
"It was a bit Liz Truss-y"

💥 On Tom Tugendhat:
"Impressed"
"He's a soldier, so he's probably a bit more down to earth"
"More engaging"
"Limp. Boring"
"I was drawn into what he was saying... confident, articulate"
"More capable compared to the bluffing and blustering of everyone else... maybe he is less self-serving'

💥 On Rob Jenrick:
"Cringeworthy"
"Honest"
"Too animated. Too much coffee"
"I liked what he said about the migration. But then he ruined it with all the cheap jokes and snides, and the fact he thought he was really fun with it put me right off"
"A bit flimsy. A smug face"
"That's not someone I would even want leading the school PTA"

💥 On James Cleverly:
"He went on about things they didn't deliver, like on Brexit"
"Good candour"
"Patronising"
"Arrogant"
"Arrogant"
"Arrogant"
"Arrogant"
"The worst"

At the end of the group, we asked who had the best chance of winning them back. The answers:

"Rob"
"Tom"
"Tom"
"Tom"
"Tom"
"Tom"
"Rob"

Listen to the full focus group at 2pm BST on @bbc5live with me and @mattchorley

Great to see my friend Alicia backing Tom Tugendhat.

[Alicia Kearns MP @aliciakearns]

The world is more dangerous than it’s ever been. We don’t just need a safe pair of hands, we need a leader who stands by their convictions, can navigate the complexities of governing, and will keep our country safe.

As Conservatives we need to bring back integrity, competence and service to our party and country. That’s why I’m giving @TomTugendhat my full support to be our next leader and Prime Minister.

Tom will bring trust back to our party. He will always put the British people first, and is the decisive leader that the Conservatives, and our country, desperately need.

[Timothy Cho @Timothycho08]

Life in totalitarian #NorthKorea was survival. I begged for food, witnessed public executions and saw fellow inmates being killed in underground cells. It's why I’m supporting @TomTugendhat, who stands up and fights against the regimes of Iran, Putin, Xi & Kim. Serve. Lead. Act.
