Jacob Rees-Mogg has bolstered his position as the favourite among Conservative Party members to be the next Tory leader.
The leading Eurosceptic was backed by 21 per cent of Tories who took part in the latest ConservativeHome survey on who should succeed Theresa May, up three points since last month when he was on 18 per cent.
Meanwhile, Michael Gove, the Environment Secretary, and Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, have solidified their positions in the second and third spots with the former on 16 per cent and the latter on 14 per cent.
Support for both Mr Gove and Mr Johnson increased by two points on last month.
