Esther McVey has issued this statement.

I am extremely grateful to those people who voted for me in this election and to the fantastic team who have supported my campaign.

I am pleased to have had a platform to make the case for Blue Collar Conservatism, a clean break from the EU and the need to invest money into schools, policing and a proper pay rise for our public sector workers.

I will speak to the remaining candidates to see who is best placed to deliver on that programme.

I wish the remaining candidates well and I hope that all Conservative MPs will unite behind whoever wins this contest which is essential to prevent the disaster of a Marxist government.

Whoever becomes the new leader will certainly receive my support.

Nine Votes she got, I bet she's grinding her bloody teath down.
