Result of first round of voting should be bang on 1pm... follow on @BBCPolitics and @BBCNews
Remember remember even the campaign teams aren’t sure if they can trust their supporters are telling them the truth, so there may we’ll be some real surprises with the numbers -
Johnson is way ahead in the public declarations so far... but it’s a secret ballot !

1. Look away now if you're not interested in skulduggery - Javid's team pushing back at suggestion Johnson lent them any votes - they thought they had 33 this afternoon, and that's what they got from their own number
2. Also hearing Javid's supporters receiving identikit texts from Stewart to appeal to them to back him tomorrow .. awkward given they may well, well, talk to each other and even compare the messages
3. Especially because texts seem more or less word for word BUT that some MP s are being praised for 'intellectual rigour' and others are not.... 😬

1. Quite a scene outside committee room 14 - MPs from each camp parked outside crossing off names as voting takes place
2. Candidates arriving with their entourages to cast their own votes - Johnson gets in and out with not even a wisecrack to waiting hacks
3. Rory Stewart hanging around outside still trying to lock down those last few votes to get him to 33 and chatting to hacks

Johnson now has Hancock's backing though, which given 'f**k, f**k business' a few short weeks ago is rather, well, interesting..but it seems pretty straightforward, looks like Johnson is going to win, so get on board now, and sources argue Johnson has moved towards biz since then
Expect about half Hancock's supporters to join Johnson and the other half mainly going to Stewart - disappointing for Javid, Gove and Hunt - none of them ever likely to go to Raab
Gove on @BBCr4today now (don't miss too important Labour story today - Tom Watson again trying to turn pressure up on leadership to move overtly to Labour being a Remain party(

Presumably there's a mathematical chance that Boris Johnson will be the only one to clear the minimum vote threshold in tomorrow's round of voting. Goodness knows what happens then? Do they fish out a lucky loser, even though they didn't make the cut? Do they crown BJ outright?
Or do they spend a month offering the Tory membership the choice of Boris Johnson, like a dictator with only his own name on the ballot?
I misunderstood how the threshold works. Doesn't apply after round 2. Just straight "bottom man out".

Morning! It’s the first round of voting in the Tory leadership contest today. Here is the state of play, according to @FinancialTimes interactive guide.

Six candidates have publicly met the threshold, five haven’t. How many will survive the day?

ig.ft.com/uk-prime-minis…
@FinancialTimes There’s a consensus across all the camps that the first round will look something like this:

1. Johnson
2. Hunt
3. Gove
4. Raab OR Javid
5. Hancock

The battle for 4th place will be key for survival of both campaigns. Javid has picked up momentum, but will it be too late?
Matt Hancock has publicly met the threshold this morning. He’s run a better-than-expected campaign and could surprise with a strong showing.

But his campaign team are being realistic about coming 5th, hoping to pick up votes in the second round.

#Remember
In Deuteronomy 8, Moses gave a very powerful speech. It was actually a Message. Moses told the children of Israel, and us by extension, in verse 2 to 'remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee'. #Remember
The greatest crime anyone of us will commit is to forget. We must #Remember all the way we were brought through because if we don't, we will misbehave and if we misbehave, we will suffer the consequences.

I am writing a thread for supporters PM Narendra Modi .
I am a professional , a Doctor , with no intention to join active politics but I take interest in politics to support the efforts of PM Narendra Modi. It doesn't make me supporter of any political party including Bjp! 1/n
After yesterday's defeat of my Prime minister's party Bjp in 3 Assembly Elections, I am too feeling low but in view of larger battle of 2019 for my PM , I am seeing silver lining in the cloud vis a vis yesterday's mandate that I would like to share in this thread . 2/n
One cannot ignore the fact that Bjp had incumbent Governments for last 15 years in Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh & for last 5 yrs in Rajasthan with same term for incumbent CMs.Anti incumbency was natural in these states & especially in Rajasthan, people were unhappy with CM.3/n

u may have seen that brazil nearly elected a full-on fascist in the 1st round of its presidential elections on sunday.
u may have questions too.
i'll use this thread to clarify+debunk things i see circulating that are dead wrong.
i'll also provide some reading suggestions.
vamos+
brazil has run-off voting & bolsonaro (whom i'll refer to as the fascist) did not reach 51%,so not ALL hope is lost. between the 1st round of the general election on sunday (which also was for senate, house, and governor) and the 2nd round, candidates have 3 weeks to campaign.+
the remaining candidates for the 2nd round of the presidential election are the fascist (whose problems i have gone into ad nauseum on this site & written about elsewhere and you can go searching for later) and fernando haddad, who represents PT (workers' party)+
