Cameron favourite to lead Conservatives

DAVID CAMERON emerged as strong favourite to defeat David Davis for the Tory leadership after Liam Fox was yesterday eliminated in the final ballot of MPs.

Mr Cameron, who topped the poll with 90 votes, and Mr Davis, second with 57, will now go into the final postal ballot of the entire 300,000-strong party membership.

Dr Fox, who was third with 51 votes, drops out.
