The five remaining leadership faced off in BBC televised debate (Image: BBC) Judi James, a body language analyst for MailOnline, deciphered the body language of the five remaining candidates for Tory leader. Boris Johnson, Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove, Sajid Javid and Rory Stewart find themselves in the third ballot of the race after the elimination of Dominic Raab. The candidates will require 33 votes from fellow MPs on today’s ballot and avoid finishing last to pass on to the fourth ballot tomorrow.

Ms James noted Mr Stewart differed from his opponents: “As the other would-be next PMs sat legs-akimbo on their Westlife tribute-act stools it was Rory Stewart positioning himself as the daring outsider with his tie off and his feet placed firmly on the ground. “He rocked, he sneered with a fully raised upper lip, and he laughed and shook his head as the others debated. “At times his head even dropped forward as though he was in mourning for politics in general.

Indeed, Mr Javid and Mr Stewart appeared rather cordial when they shook hands but with Mr Johnson clearly in front and Mr Gove and Mr Hunt looking to be facing off to join the former Foreign Secretary in the final two, many viewers may have been keeping an eye on the trio. Mr Johnson simply got ready and left the studio, paying little attention to the other four men in the room. Mr Gove and Mr Hunt left in a similar fashion and Joe Middleton writing in the MailOnline described them as “stony-faced” as they made their exits. The third and final televised debate for the leadership contest will be hosted by Kay Burley on Sky News and filmed in front of a live studio audience of Conservative supporters. The debate is expected to last 90 minutes and will feature the final two candidates but final details are they to be confirmed.All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
