Tim Yeo: Potential leadership candidate

The shadow Cabinet appears to be disintegrating with Tim Yeo and Nicholas Soames quitting and reports that Michael Ancram is following suit.

Shadow transport secretary Tim Yeo has resigned from the Tory frontbench to set out his vision for the future of the party.

Nicholas Soames became the second senior Tory to quit the shadow Cabinet following the party's defeat in the general election.
