The latest instalment of Conservative Home’s Shadow Cabinet league table has lifted the scores of most current Tory figures. The conference effect…

Only Sunak and Mitchell are in the negative while Hunt enjoys a post-election uplift. Benefits of basically being LOTO for a few months…

Badenoch remains in the lead, though ironically the biggest gains have been accrued by Cleverly and Tugendhat, both out of the leadership race. They’ve gained 16 and 13 points respectively. Jenrick isn’t recorded as he isn’t a Shadow Minister. By this time next month the new Tory leader will be in place and the Shadow Cabinet will look a bit different…

The April instalment of Conservative Home’s cabinet league table has ministers continuing their drop into single-digit and negative ratings. It’s another record-breaking month as March’s all-time high number 11 ministers in the red is beaten thirty days later with 12 viewed unfavourably. That’s over half the cabinet disapproved of by loyal Tory members…

The top three remain the same, though Penny Mordaunt has fallen from the throne to sit just below Johnny Mercer as Kemi Badenoch retakes top spot – the only minister to score above what usually counts as a high medium score of 50. Illegal Migration Minister Michael Tomlinson has kept sliding into the abyss with a -43% rating. Other cabinet heavy hitters are slipping down too. By Guido’s estimation Sunak’s score of -27.7% dips below his worst ever performance of -25.4% before Christmas. Will he break Chris Grayling’s record of -71.6% before the election?

The March instalment of Conservative Home’s cabinet league table has ministers continuing to fall into single-digit and negative ratings. A record eleven ministers are now in the red, two more than the previous low record of June 2023. Exactly half of the entire cabinet is now unfavourable to Tory members…

Penny Mordaunt has shot up seven points from last month, with outspoken performances in the chamber and no major negative press. Badenoch and Mercer make up the rest of the top three, whose points are now well above the rest of the slipping pack. Illegal Migration Minister Michael Tomlinson retains his off-the-cliff position at -36 points. Gove is losing favour as Sunak slips down again on last month, approaching his worst ever score of -25.4% before Christmas. It doesn’t look like Hunt’s dead fish budget today will do much to buoy the members…

The February instalment of Conservative Home’s cabinet league table has ministers slipping from their pre-Christmas highs. The top three positions have remained unchanged, although Badenoch, Mordaunt, and Mercer have all lost a few points since December. Meanwhile, as Chris Heaton-Harris comes under the spotlight for his work on restoring power-sharing, he shoots up to fourth place. Actually getting things done does have its benefits…

Hunt and Sunak remain deep in the red, though the PM has improved from his worst ever score of -25.4% before Christmas to a slightly higher 18.4%. A tax-cutting budget in 30 days’ time may soothe Tory members’ nerves…

One month after Hamas launched its attack against Israel, James Cleverly has found himself as the favourite cabinet minister among party members for the first time, with his net satisfaction ratings scoring an impressive +71.8 points, according to a poll by Conservative Home. Cleverly didn’t have a huge media presence before last month, though his increased online and media visibility in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war has boosted his ratings by 20 points. Cleverly isn’t campaigning for the leadership, though MPs may yet end up thinking him the safest choice…

Cabinet Ministers in the red include Jeremy Hunt, whose refusal to budge on tax cuts hasn’t found favour with party faithful, giving him a -23 points, and Therese Coffey, whose rating is an unfair -27 points. CCHQ will be disappointed with much loved Party Chairman Greg Hands’ low score of -15.5. Rishi is still scoring low at 7.1 points, though he’ll forlornly hope that his ratings may see a boost after the King’s Speech today. Stay tuned…

The latest Conservative Home Cabinet League Table is bad news for Rishi Sunak. In just a month, his volatile rating has dropped by 20 points back into the red at -3.8. He was mid-table in August. A wasted recess hasn’t gone unnoticed by Tories…

Now that membership darling Ben Wallace has resigned, the gold medal this month goes to Kemi Badenoch on 59%. That’s significantly lower than Wallace’s 76.8% last month, and 22 Ministers in total come in below 20 points. Paul Goodman points out there were only 700 responses to their survey, which is unusually low. Tory members aren’t angry, they’re just apathetic…
