Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt have just one day of meaningful campaigning to go as ballot papers land on the doorsteps of 160,000 Conservative Party members. Although there are still two weeks of campaigning to go, many Tory members across the country are expected to be making their decision from today after receiving their postal ballot papers.

Mr Hunt has said it is “all to play for” in the race against Tory leadership frontrunner Mr Johnson after initially believing it would be a “very long shot” at the start.

But the Foreign Secretary says that has changed because he believes “so many people” have switched to support him after hearing him speak.

Meanwhile, his rival Mr Johnson has vowed to make Britain “the greatest place on Earth” if he succeeds in gaining the keys to 10 Downing Street.

The former foreign secretary said he was “fighting for every vote”, telling the Daily Telegraph: “I’m taking nothing for granted.

“It’s time to drive for the line, keeping the ball at the back of the scrum. I’m fighting for every vote and campaigning flat out and will be from now until the end.”
