Eleven stand in race for Tory Party leadership

The latest candidate list for the leadership of the Tory Party now stands at eleven with a possible twelfth pondering whether to make a pitch. In a sign of just how much of a mess the Tory Party is in, and an example of how weak it has become, the list of contenders shows how embarassingly weak the ranks of the senior members of the party are.
