Tory MPs choose Graham Brady as their shop steward
Mr Brady was elected Chairman of the 1922 by 126 votes to 85.
For the reasons outlined earlier I am delighted.
6pm: More right-wing candidates elected: Charles Walker and John Whittingdale are the two vice chairmen. Mark Pritchard and Christopher Chope are the two secretaries. They join Brian Binley MP who was elected unopposed as Treasurer.
Tim Montgomerie
8pm James Forsyth: The fact that the majority of those elected have already criticised the coalition gives a sense of the mood of the backbenches.
