28. Cheryl Gillan +5% | +9% | +7%
29. David Mundell +2% | +5% | +4%
30. Francis Maude -10% | -6% | -3%

The marked drops in the ratings for William Hague and Mark Francois suggest disappointment with the party's new Europe policy.

Also noticeable is the continued slide in Chris Grayling's standing and the steady recovery of Caroline Spelman's rating since she left CCHQ and returned to the local government portfolio.

This will be the last shadow cabinet league table that ConservativeHome will be publishing. We start again after the General Election... when we hope it will be a ranking of the Cabinet.
