** BREAKING **
@KemiBadenoch has picked up real momentum in a new @ConHome survey of 850 Tory party members today, in the wake of the Channel 4 TV debate last night.
The poll puts Ms Badenoch in the lead on 31 per cent, up from 19 per cent last Monday. 1/3 #ToryLeadershipContest
. @trussliz was second on 20pc, up from 11pc, in the @ConHome poll.
Support for @PennyMordaunt appears to have stalled, with her support falling from 20pc to 18pc.
@RishiSunak was in fourth place on 17pc, up from 12pc last Mon.
@TomTugendhat was fifth on 10pc, up from 7pc. 2/3
This chimes with what I have been hearing all day from Brexiteer Tory MPs: @kemibadenoch is increasingly seen as the choice of some rightwing Conservative MPs who want to keep @PennyMordaunt off the final two who face the party's 200,000 members next month. 3/3

NEW Conservative MPs are being sent home and told they don't have to vote on Labour's Privileges committee motion.
This means the motion will almost certainly pass and Boris Johnson will be investigated for misleading the Commons, as soon as Scotland Yard finishes its work.
Images of any parties taken by taxpayer-funded photographers in Downing St might now be published (if the Tory-majority committee agrees to it).
This will severely test Boris Johnson's defence he did not "deliberately mislead" MPs, which he set out as recently as Tuesday.
What we are seeing now is the end of #partygate.
One Labour source told me today: "They have run out of road."
Will this be the end of Boris Johnson?

💥Big 48 hours for Boris Johnson next week in the House of Commons ...

Tuesday: Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle is expected to allow vote of MPs on an investigation into whether Boris Johnson misled the House of Commons over the extent of lockdown parties in Downing St 1/3
Wednesday: MPs set to vote on whether to hand matter over to the seven-MP strong Privileges Committee which has a Tory majority but is chaired by Chris Bryant, a Labour MP.

The Privileges committee will then investigate whether Johnson misled the Commons 2/3
If Johnson is found guilty of wrongdoing by the Privileges committee, he can be required to make oral or written apologies, be suspended from the House or even expelled.

NEW Conservative MPs in red wall seats are up in arms about this tweet from Ben Goldsmith, a board member of Defra, saying he is "with Extinction Rebellion".
LATEST Tory MPs are now quitting the Conservative Environment Network's WhatsApp group in protest at Ben Goldsmith's remarks over XR.
Goldsmith is the group's chairman. cen.uk.com/our-people
One Tory MP in a red wall seat tells me that Boris Johnson should sack Ben Goldsmith from the board of Defra. "He has got to go," the MP said.

LATEST Chaos at the Carlton Club tonight. Boris Johnson had a drink with Conor Burns.
Nadine Dorries was addressing an Onward dinner.
Four 1922 members were having supper.
The Press arrived believing a plot was under way so everyone left by the backdoor. One MP: "It is a farce."
UPDATE One Tory MP tells me: "Boris has just turned up at the Carlton Club on a last ditch desperate attempt to persuade people to support him."
This may be an over-reading of the situation. The situation is febrile. And it is past 11pm.
(This is from an eye witness).
