Apparently being poor, welsh and having a beard...

I wouldn't be surprised if his youth and lack of baggage appealed to both MP's and the membership in principle, but I think they'll baulk at giving him the job after just 6 months in cabinet - particularly given the new PM's in-tray.

They may also distrust the cheesy nature of the 'dream team' guff he cooked up with Javid, and the idea of going for a religious nut - if that's what he turns out to be - is likely to be less than attractive.

Aware as I am that Tory leadership elections tend to spring surprises, I think they'll go for Theresa May.
