Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson are to start the air and ground war to persuade the 160,000 Conservative members that they are up to the job of Prime Minister. With the two coming through with enough votes from the Parliamentary Party, they now face the biggest challenge. For Johnson, it is a case of damage limitation, trying not to say anything that could would be so controversial as to damage his populist, charmer credentials. For Hunt, it is a task to make his opponent look like a complete oafish clown.
Gerry looks forward to this public blue-on-blue warfare…
