    Results of the first ballot of Tory MPs

  2. Good afternoon

    Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Tory leadership race - as the contest enters the next stage with a second ballot among Conservative MPs.

    There are six remaining in the contest - they'll be eliminated if they come last or if they fail to get at least 33 votes.

    Those still in the race after the voting is complete will take place in a live BBC debate this evening, fielding questions from members of the public in TV studios across the country.

    There will be more ballots later this week to cut the field down to a final two candidates who will then be voted on by Tory Party members.

    We'll be here to cover every twist and turn, so stick with us for all the latest.
