TOP EXCL in today's Paper Tory big beast (and king maker?) Michael Gove BACKS Kemi Badenoch to be the next Tory leader and PM. Writing for The Sun he says Kemi has the "right stuff" to lead the UK thesun.co.uk/news/19155009/…

I was delighted to talk to a packed Orpington Conservative Association meeting about the leadership election and hear their views on the candidates. We took a straw poll, and members overwhelmingly backed Kemi Badenoch to lead our party and country. BackingBadenoch 1/2

With nearly 20,000 votes now in this Lord Ashcroft straw poll, Kemi Badenoch has more support than the other three candidates PUT TOGETHER

NatWest chairman Sir Howard Davies must follow Rose out the door. He made a dreadful error in issuing a statement saying the Board backed her. She lied about a customer’s account for God’s sake! Coutts CEO Flavell who signed off on Farage’s account being shut will also be kicked

Dame Alison Rose has gone. Others must follow. I hope that this serves as a warning to the banking industry. We need both cultural and legal changes to a system that has unfairly shut down many thousands of innocent people. I will do my best to be their voice.

How come Peter Flavell, the invisible man and CEO of Coutts , is still in work. It’s all his fault. Get out.

I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stri… via 38 Degrees
