Theresa May’s bid to become the next conservative leader has won the support of two more cabinet ministers and the Daily Mail.
Michael Fallon and Patrick Mcloughlin both say they back the home secretary.
Ms. May has also received pledges of support from many more lawmakers than the other four candidates, with at least three more cabinet members among her backers.
Rivals Micheal Gove, Stephen Crabb, Andrea Leadsom and Liam Fox are also in the running to lead the Conservative Party and become UK Prime Minister.
Mr Gove was a surprise addition to the race, having been expected to back Boris Johnson, who shocked the political world by ruling himself out on Thursday.
