Conservative leadership contest triggered
BBC News24 is reporting strong rumours that [at least] 25 Tory MPs have now indicated they want a vote of confidence to be held on Iain Duncan Smith's leadership of the Party, so very probably triggering a leadership contest - unless he wins the vote of confidence, of ocurse.
Basically, this is wonderful news. Just awaiting a statement from the man himself shortly.
UPDATE: Mr Duncan Smith has announced that he will put his name forward in the vote of confidence, scheduled to be held tomorrow with the result becoming known around 7pm.
