Thank you Shawna for this TA information. I just now found it for the first time!

You are welcome, Pam!

This is great information Shawna, thanks?!

You’re very welcome, Melinda!

Outstanding!! wish I had seen this sooner. I just rented a car for 3 weeks from Alamo in Ft Lauderdale. I showed the counter attendant my CLIA card and asked for a discount, which I did not get.

Why wouldn’t they accept it? Was it because it wasn’t an IATAN card? I have a CLIA card as well. Marriot Hotel Excellence allows a CLIA card for their FAMtastic rates

This is great information and it is very helpful. Thank you for all your hard work. I would appreciate if you could send me an email have a few questions hoping you can help me with. Thanks in advance.

Do you know if Radisson or other hotels accept CLIA card, if we don’t yet have an IATAN card?

Hi Samantha! Per their current online registration form, they accept IATA/ARC/TIDS/CLIA/TRUE.

Thank you for this update!

Shawna, I dont sell enough to qualify for an IATA card myself. Can I use the agency’s number instead or does it have to be person specific to register for these discounts? Thanks so much

Hi Joan! Thank you for your question! These discounts typically require the agent to show their personal IATA card at the location.

i just called Sea World in San Antonio and they did not know anything about the 50% off. Do you konw if it is park or city specific? I have an IATA card.

Thanks. Tim

Our team members that have used this discount in the past simply showed their IATA card at the gate. We’ll look into this to see if the deal is no longer being offered!

**Centrav cannot guarantee availability or access to discounts mentioned in this post.

Thank you! I love the Centrav posts!

Thank you, Nanci!

Thank you for the wonderful post.

Do you happen to know if I can apply for an IATAN card even if I do not work for a travel company?

Thank you, Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,

Thank you for your comment! In order to be eligible for an IATA/IATAN card, an agent must work for an IATA-accredited travel agency.

Check out this post for more info: https://resources.centrav.com/get-iata-card/

Thanks very much

Thank you so much for this!

You are welcome!

Hi Shawna, I am an admin for a nationally touring music band. I am interested in learning how to get travel agent discounts on mostly flights and hotel for the band. Do I need to become a travel agent for that? If you could lead me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Hi Cyndee! We can send you more detailed information shortly!

Thank you for this information.

You’re welcome, Marilyn!

Hello, thank you for this guide. Do you know if travel agents are able to get discounts with baggage for flights ?

I am not aware of travel agent discounts for luggage, however, some private airfares offer extra luggage! This is totally dependent on the airline, routing, etc.

These rates are significantly lower than the retail rates available to the general public, allowing travelers to enjoy substantial savings on their vacations.

By working closely with travel agents, suppliers can fill empty rooms, seats, and other travel inventory, while travelers receive unbeatable prices and added benefits. It’s a win-win situation for both parties involved. Travelers can take advantage of reduced accommodation costs, exclusive add-ons, upgrades, and access to special packages, while suppliers can ensure their inventory is utilized efficiently.

Now that we have a clear understanding of what travel agent rates and discounts are, let’s dive into the benefits they offer.

Benefits of Travel Agent Rates

Traveling can be an exhilarating and transformative experience, but it often comes with a hefty price tag. This is where travel agent rates come into play, offering a multitude of benefits that can help you save money while enjoying a luxurious getaway. From lower accommodation costs to exclusive add-ons and upgrades, and access to special packages, let’s delve into the enticing advantages that await savvy travelers.

Lower Accommodation Costs

One of the most enticing aspects of securing travel agent rates is the potential for drastically reduced accommodation costs. Imagine being able to stay at high-end hotels or resorts that would otherwise be outside your budget. Travel agents have access to exclusive deals and negotiated rates with various lodging establishments, enabling them to pass on significant savings to their clients. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic beachfront villa or a cozy boutique hotel nestled in the heart of a bustling city, travel agent rates can make these dreams a reality while keeping your wallet happy.

Exclusive Add-ons and Upgrades

When booking your trip through a travel agent, you gain access to a world of exclusive add-ons and upgrades that can enhance your overall travel experience. Travel agents often have special partnerships with airlines, cruise lines, and tour operators, allowing them to secure additional perks for their clients. Picture yourself savoring a complimentary spa treatment at a luxurious resort, enjoying priority boarding on a flight, or indulging in a room upgrade with breathtaking views. These exclusive benefits not only add a touch of luxury to your trip but also create lasting memories that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Access to Special Packages

In addition to lower accommodation costs and exclusive add-ons, booking with a travel agent opens the door to a treasure trove of special packages. Whether you’re seeking a romantic honeymoon getaway, a family-friendly adventure, or an adrenaline-fueled escapade, travel agents have the expertise to curate tailored packages that cater to your specific interests and preferences. These packages often include a combination of accommodations, transportation, and activities, bundled together at a discounted rate. By taking advantage of these travel agent rates , you can unlock a world of possibilities and embark on unforgettable journeys that are perfectly tailored to your desires.

So, if you’re yearning to explore the world without breaking the bank, travel agent rates are the secret sauce to making your travel dreams a reality. From pocket-friendly accommodations to exclusive add-ons and the allure of special packages, these benefits are sure to elevate your travel experience to new heights. So pack your bags, embark on your next adventure, and let the savings and luxury unfold before your very eyes.

Ways to Get Travel Agent Rates

Become a travel agent.

One of the most effective ways to unlock exclusive travel agent rates is to become a travel agent yourself. By pursuing a career in the travel industry, you gain access to a wide range of perks and benefits, including discounted rates on accommodations. Not only will you be able to explore the world while assisting others in their travel endeavors, but you’ll also have the opportunity to take advantage of incredible savings.

To embark on this exciting journey, you can become a travel agent through various avenues. Many reputable organizations and companies offer training programs and certifications that equip aspiring travel agents with the necessary knowledge and skills. By enrolling in these programs, you’ll gain valuable insights into the industry, learn about different travel products and services, and ultimately be well-prepared to cater to the needs of your clients.

If you’re eager to dive into the world of travel without extensive training, you may consider becoming an independent travel agent . This route allows you to operate your own business, providing personalized services to travelers while enjoying the flexibility to set your own rates and commissions.

Join Travel Agent Associations

Another way to access exclusive travel agent rates is by joining reputable travel agent associations . These organizations bring together travel professionals from around the world, providing a platform for networking, education, and industry updates. By becoming a member, you’ll gain access to a plethora of resources and benefits, including special discounted rates on accommodations and travel packages.

These associations often have partnerships with various hotels, resorts, and travel suppliers, enabling their members to enjoy preferential rates and exclusive offers. Whether you’re a seasoned travel agent or just starting out, joining a travel agent association can significantly enhance your ability to secure the best discounts for your clients and yourself.

Utilize Travel Agent Booking Platforms

In today’s digital age, travel agents have a plethora of tools at their disposal to streamline their operations and secure the best deals for their clients. One such tool is the availability of travel agent booking platforms , which are specifically designed to cater to the needs of travel professionals.

These platforms not only provide access to a wide range of accommodations but also offer travel agent discounts that are not available to the general public. By leveraging these platforms, travel agents can search for the best rates, compare options, and book accommodations seamlessly. Additionally, these platforms often provide additional benefits such as exclusive add-ons and upgrades, further enhancing the overall travel experience.

Build Relationships with Travel Suppliers

Building strong relationships with travel suppliers is a key strategy for travel agents looking to unlock exclusive rates. Travel suppliers include hotels, resorts, airlines, car rental companies, and tour operators. By establishing a solid rapport with these suppliers, travel agents can negotiate favorable rates and access exclusive discounts.

One effective way to build relationships with travel suppliers is by attending industry events such as trade shows, conferences, and seminars. These events provide opportunities to meet representatives from various travel companies and establish meaningful connections. By fostering these relationships, travel agents can gain insider knowledge, stay informed about upcoming promotions, and ultimately secure the best rates for their clients.

In conclusion, there are several ways to unlock exclusive travel agent rates. Whether you choose to become a travel agent , join travel agent associations, utilize travel agent booking platforms, or build relationships with travel suppliers, each approach offers unique advantages. By combining these strategies and staying proactive in your quest for savings, you’ll be well on your way to accessing the best discounts available in the travel industry. Happy travels!

Tips for Maximizing Travel Agent Rates

When it comes to maximizing your travel agent rates, there are a few key strategies that can help you make the most of your savings. By following these tips, you can ensure that you are getting the best possible discounts on your accommodations and travel experiences.

Plan in Advance : One of the most effective ways to secure the best travel agent rates is to plan your trips in advance. By booking early, you can take advantage of early bird discounts and secure the best available rates. This is particularly important if you have specific travel dates in mind or if you are planning to visit a popular destination during peak travel seasons. By planning ahead, you can avoid last-minute price increases and ensure that you are able to secure the accommodations and packages that best fit your travel needs.

Be Flexible with Travel Dates : Another tip for maximizing your travel agent rates is to be flexible with your travel dates. By being open to traveling during off-peak seasons or on weekdays, you can often find significantly lower rates. Many hotels and travel suppliers offer special discounts and promotions for travelers who are willing to be flexible with their travel dates. By considering alternative travel periods, you can save a substantial amount of money without compromising on the quality of your travel experience.

Compare Rates and Packages : When it comes to getting the best travel agent rates, it’s important to compare rates and packages from different suppliers. While one supplier may offer a great discount on accommodations, another may have better deals on flights or activities. By taking the time to compare rates and packages, you can ensure that you are getting the best overall value for your money. Utilize online travel agent booking platforms that allow you to easily compare prices and offerings from different suppliers. This way, you can make an informed decision and secure the best possible rates for your travel plans.

Leverage Loyalty Programs : Many hotels and travel suppliers offer loyalty programs that provide additional benefits and discounts to frequent customers. If you frequently travel to the same destinations or stay at the same hotel chains, it can be worthwhile to join their loyalty programs. These programs often provide exclusive access to special rates, upgrades, and other perks. By leveraging loyalty programs, you can maximize your travel agent rates and enjoy additional savings on your trips.

By following these tips, you can ensure that you are maximizing your travel agent rates and getting the best possible discounts on your accommodations and travel experiences. Remember to plan in advance, be flexible with your travel dates, compare rates and packages, and leverage loyalty programs to make the most of your savings. Traveling doesn’t have to break the bank, and with the right strategies, you can enjoy incredible experiences while staying within your budget.

Common Questions

As you delve into the world of travel agent rates and discounts, you may find yourself with a few burning questions. In this section, we will address some of the most common queries that travelers have regarding this enticing opportunity.

Are travel agent rates available for all destinations?

Absolutely! Travel agent rates are available for a wide range of destinations, from bustling cities to serene beachside retreats. Whether you dream of exploring the streets of Paris, lounging on the pristine beaches of Bali, or embarking on an African safari, there are travel agent rates available to suit your desires. From popular tourist hotspots to off-the-beaten-path destinations, travel agents can unlock exclusive discounts and benefits for a variety of locations across the globe.

Can anyone book travel agent rates?

While travel agent rates were originally designed for those working in the travel industry, they are not limited to travel agents alone. Nowadays, many hotels, resorts, and airlines extend these discounted rates to a wider audience, allowing anyone to take advantage of the savings. Whether you are a travel professional, a frequent traveler, or simply someone looking for a great deal, you can book travel agent rates and enjoy the benefits they offer.

How much can I save with travel agent rates?

The amount you can save with travel agent rates varies depending on the destination, property, and time of year. On average, travelers can expect to save anywhere from 10% to 50% off the regular rates. These discounts can translate into significant savings, especially for longer stays or when traveling with a group. By accessing these exclusive rates, you can enjoy a luxury experience at a fraction of the cost.

To better understand the potential savings, let’s take a look at a hypothetical scenario. Imagine you are planning a week-long vacation to a popular beach destination. The regular rate for a luxury beachfront resort is $300 per night. However, with a travel agent rate, you could potentially secure a discount of 30%. This means you would only pay $210 per night, resulting in a total savings of $630 for the duration of your stay.

It’s important to note that the savings can vary significantly depending on the specific property, time of year, and availability. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to compare rates, packages, and promotions to ensure you are getting the best possible deal.

Now that we’ve addressed some common questions, let’s move on to the exciting topic of maximizing your travel agent rates to make the most of your travel experiences. But before we do that, let’s take a moment to recap what we’ve learned so far.

In conclusion, unlocking exclusive travel agent rates can be a game-changer when it comes to planning your next vacation. Not only do these rates offer lower accommodation costs, but they also provide access to exclusive add-ons, upgrades, and special packages that are not available to the general public.

By becoming a travel agent or joining travel agent associations, you can tap into a world of discounted rates and benefits. Utilizing travel agent booking platforms and building relationships with travel suppliers further enhance your chances of getting the best deals. These strategies enable you to save significantly on your travel expenses, leaving you with more money to indulge in memorable experiences during your trip.

To maximize your savings, it is important to plan in advance and be flexible with your travel dates. This allows you to take advantage of the best rates and availability. Additionally, taking the time to compare rates and packages across different platforms ensures that you are getting the most value for your money. Lastly, leveraging loyalty programs can provide you with additional perks and savings.

While travel agent rates may not be available for all destinations, there are numerous options to choose from across the globe. Whether you’re dreaming of a tropical beach getaway or an adventurous mountain retreat, there is likely a travel agent rate waiting to be discovered.

It’s important to note that travel agent rates are not exclusive to travel agents alone. Anyone can book these rates, making them accessible to all travelers looking to save money on their journeys. So, whether you are a seasoned traveler or a novice explorer, you can take advantage of these discounts and enjoy the benefits they offer.

When it comes to how much you can save with travel agent rates, the answer varies depending on various factors such as the destination, time of year, and the specific deal you secure. However, it is not uncommon to save a significant amount, sometimes even up to 50% or more on accommodation costs.

In summary, unlocking exclusive travel agent rates is a smart strategy for any traveler looking to maximize their savings and make the most of their vacation.

PERSONAL TESTIMONIAL

At the time of writing this I (Michael) have been a member of an international hotel points rewards scheme for 19 years. During that time I have been able to have the very best hotel rates from the group available anywhere.

Within that Hotel Rewards Membership there are an additional four further options or levels of discount for even lower special hotel rates. I personally qualify for two of these four special additional lower rates.

On making a hotel booking recently at a hotel of the same group that I am a rewards member I found that the travel club had LOWER pricing than the lowest discount price that I could get direct from the international hotel group.

On a more personal note the service that I have received from the travel club has been outstanding. Even picking up on a note regarding a special occasion during a booking and contacting the hotel in advance to highlight it.

Well done travel club for the great pricing and exceptional service. Another two great reasons to join!

In addition to a discounted rate, memberships may offer additional benefits, such as free parking.

Membership can also help you save on car rentals, up to 20% for AAA and 30% for AARP. Additionally, AAA Northeast members are eligible for preferred rates at Dollar, Hertz and Thrifty; they can also get the under-25 rental car fee waived at Hertz and get free car seats at some locations.

As with the hotel rates, discounted car rates vary based on location and when you rent.

For all AAA car rental discounts, see AAA's website .

Government and military rates

If you are a government employee (at the national, state or local level) or work for any other public employer (such as a school district or transportation agency), you may be eligible for government rates.

Like AAA and AARP rates, you can book government and military rates on the hotel site directly as a special rate. Federal government rates differ from state government rates and are set to a per diem the federal government selects, which you can view on the General Services Administration website .

Additionally, you might find military rates. On both the state and federal government rates, travel orders are required. Eligibility for the military rate is also outlined.

Per diem rates also vary among hotels. For example, a quick search of Hilton properties available in mid-March in Washington, D.C. , yielded government and military rates starting at $258 per night.

Expect to present your federal government ID to get the government rate, and also know that some hotels require you to be traveling on business to reserve the government rate.

Government and military rates can be a great way to save on hotels, but you need to fully understand the terms before making your reservation. You don't want to be in a place where you cannot provide proper documentation when checking in to a hotel; this could void your reservation or could result in you paying the walk-up rate for your room.

Military rates are also available on most cruise lines, and you can use your military status for discounts at theme parks.

Check for resident rates

If you are taking a staycation, check for resident rates in your city or state.

For example, The Laylow, Autograph Collection in Honolulu offers a discounted rate to those with a valid Hawaiian ID, up to approximately 25% off the standard rate. This also includes a $20 valet parking discount.

Corporate rates

Your employer — especially if it's a Fortune 500 company — might offer travel discounts for its employees. This includes bookings with hotels, rental car companies and airlines.

Check your company's travel portal or benefits page for more information.

University rates

Many universities also offer discounts to students , alumni and their families, so consider reviewing your university's travel page to see if there are any discounts you can leverage.

For example, DePaul University offers preferred rates at a handful of Chicago hotels, like the Hyatt Place Chicago/Wicker Park. DePaul alumni, faculty, parents, retirees, staff members and students get up to 20% off the standard rate.

Only use corporate and education discount codes if you're eligible for them. Otherwise, as with government rates, you could be on the hook for a much larger travel bill if you can't produce proof of eligibility.

Bottom line

There are many ways to save on your trip using published discount policies. It's always worth the extra few moments to check other rate options when booking a hotel and renting a car. Depending on your employer, your school or the associations you belong to, you could save a fair amount on your next hotel stay.

Just be sure to follow the rules of these travel discounts, as the consequences of rate fraud can be severe.

Election latest: Starmer incredulous over latest Tory attack line

Sir Keir Starmer has said he "can hardly believe" how the Conservative election campaign has pivoted towards attacking him for spending time with his family, having revealed he doesn't work after 6pm on Fridays and hopes to keep it up if he becomes prime minister.

One of our top stories today is the latest in a series of investigations by economics and data editor Ed Conway on how Russia continues to keep Western powers hooked on its gas supplies.

British firms are among those helping to keep Russian gas flowing into Europe, including an obscure company based in Glasgow.

You can read Ed's full report by tapping here .

We also asked Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer about it on the campaign trail earlier.

Referring to Ed's report, our political correspondent Serena Barker-Singh asked him about Europe's reliance on Russian gas imports - with UK companies facilitating the trade through insurance and ownership:

By Laura Bundock , news correspondent

Two days before the polls open and there is still a sizeable group of undecided voters on the Sky News YouGov panel.

With a last political push from the parties, the undecided votes could be critical this week.

That's because significantly more of this group backed the Conservatives in the 2019 election.

Among the former Tory voters on our panel, there is a split on who to vote for this time.

Some are switching to Labour.

"Even though Conservatives do seem like they have clear plans, their clear plans don't seem genuine anymore," said one voter.

You can read more from Sky News below:

By Mark Kleinman , City editor

The Conservative Party will on Wednesday unveil a letter signed by scores of small business-owners in a last-ditch bid to convince undecided voters that they can be trusted as the stewards of Britain's economy.

Sky News understands the Tories are planning to publish a letter signed by between 100 and 150 SME bosses that will argue that a Labour government would risk damaging their business.

Sources said the letter was expected to be released on Wednesday, the final day before Britain goes to the polls.

Neither the text of the letter nor the names of the signatories were clear on Tuesday.

Sir Keir Starmer has risked the wrath of the Tories by suggesting it's not just family he'll want to make time for if he becomes prime minister.

The Labour leader is a keen footballer and wants to keep it up.

"I'm determined to be able to play five-a-side," he told Times Radio.

"Whether I'll be able to play on a Sunday or not, I don't know. 

"I suspect I'll be busy."

Sir Keir has already said he wants to keep Friday evenings free for time with his wife and children. He currently clocks off work at 6pm that day.

That ambition has drawn the ire of Conservative ministers, who've suggested it's a sign he won't take the job of PM seriously.

Sir Keir acknowledged he likely won't be able to play football "as regularly" should he end up in Number 10 on Friday.

But he said he was similarly determined to keep going to The Arsenal with his son and friends.

Sir Keir, like his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn, is a big Gunners fan.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was asked earlier about a Reform UK candidate's decision to suspend her campaign and back the Tories over concerns that many of the other candidates standing are bigoted. 

"A vote for Reform is just a vote to put Keir Starmer in Number 10," he said, reacting to the news. 

He was pressed on whether he agrees with Georgie David, who was the Reform candidate for West Ham and Beckton, in saying the "vast majority of [Reform] candidates are indeed racist, misogynistic and bigoted".

The prime minister said he'd already addressed the "appalling comments" made by Reform campaigners last week, adding that "speaks to the culture" in Nigel Farage's party.

Mr Sunak also said the postal vote delay situation needs resolving quickly as every vote counts. 

Royal Mail has blamed the government for voters not receiving their postal ballots ahead of Thursday's election - and said there is "no backlog" in its system.

Second breakfasts are exciting enough, but imagine being able to have three  breakfasts.

Rishi Sunak lived the dream of every hobbit from The Lord Of The Rings this morning by doing just that, saying it helped him feel "energised" at this late stage of the election campaign.

"How often do you get to have three breakfasts before 10am?" he told reporters accompanying him in Beaconsfield.

"That's only good news."

One of them was a McDonald's breakfast wrap.

He previously revealed it was his favourite item on its menu, though it had been discontinued when he said it.

The sausage, egg, bacon, potato, and cheese concoction returned from a four-year hiatus earlier this year.

"I love a comeback," the PM said as he tucked into one on the Tory campaign battle bus this morning.

Presumably his other breakfasts were a Twix and some Haribo.

Whether he enjoys a comeback in the polls is another matter.

Lord Mann, a Labour peer who was appointed antisemitism adviser by Theresa May, has warned it is "so dangerous" for Sir Keir Starmer's "right to family time" to be questioned.

He said: "The attack on Keir Starmer for asserting his right to family time on a Friday night, as he has done for many, many years, is so dangerous.

"So insidious from those aware of why he chooses to be with his family specifically on Friday evenings."

He pointed out that Friday nights had a wider cultural significance within the Jewish community, likening it to Sundays in Christian communities.

“There’s a reason parliament does not sit on Sundays,” he said.

Sir Keir's wife Victoria is of Jewish heritage.

Reform UK has said it is "very disappointed" that another candidate has suspended their campaign - and instead endorsed the Conservatives.

Georgie David, who was the Reform candidate for West Ham and Beckton, said she is "in no doubt that the party and its senior leadership are not racist".

However, she said the "vast majority of candidates are indeed racist, misogynistic and bigoted".

In response, a spokesperson for Reform UK said: "We are very disappointed with Ms David's course of action.

"We strongly disagree with her sweeping comments about the 'vast majority' of our 600-plus candidates, the vast majority of whom she can never even have met.

"And we find it sad and strange that she chose not to bring up any of her concerns with the party leadership before publicly trashing so many of her blameless colleagues who are giving their all to get Reform UK elected.

"Ms David was a last minute addition to our candidate list, and we apologise to the voters of West Ham and Beckton for any inconvenience."

The other candidates in West Ham and Beckton are:

• James Edward Asser, Labour;
• Lois Austin, Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition;
• Emily Bigland, Lib Dems;
• Rob Callender, Greens;
• Sophia Naqvi, Newham Independents Party;
• Holly Alice Ramsey, Conservatives;
• Kayode Shedowo, Christian Peoples Alliance.

It's 12pm - time for your afternoon general election update as we enter the very final stretch of a fiery, six-week campaign.

Here's everything you need to know so far today:

• The Conservatives have kept up their attacks on  Sir Keir Starmer  over suggestions he would keep up his commitment to not working after 6pm on Fridays should he become PM;
• Health minister Maria Caulfield told Sky News "it is slightly concerning" that the Labour leader would take this approach;
• Sir Keir - who keeps Friday nights free to spend time with his wife and children - has hit back, claiming the attack is evidence of a "desperation" from the Conservatives which is "bordering on hysterical".
• Both Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir are busy on the campaign trail today, in a last ditch effort to convince voters to back their parties on Thursday;
• And the government is "urgently" investigating delays to postal ballots being delivered, after postal affairs minister Kevin Hollinrake criticised Royal Mail for apparently failing to deliver some votes in time.
• Stephen Flynn , the SNP's Westminster leader, today criticised the "complete and utter shambles" of these delays, claiming it "disenfranchises" people in Scotland who have gone on holiday (schools have already broken up there);
• Sir Ed Davey , the leader of the Liberal Democrats, is back on the campaign trail in the South East, knocking down Conservative blue dominoes in yet another stunt;
• And a second Reform UK candidate - Georgie David - has announced her decision to suspend her campaign because of "racism and misogyny" in the party - and back the Conservatives.

Kemi Badenoch and Suella Braverman have denied being associated with website domains purporting to be for future leadership bids.

It comes as a source close to Penny Mordaunt told Sky News she kept her domain active from the 2022 contests "for the same reason you'd keep a spare tire in the boot" - and not to mount a challenge against the PM.

With Rishi Sunak widely expected to lose the election on Thursday, there has been mounting speculation about what direction the Conservatives will head in and who could take command.

While Northern Ireland minister Steve Baker has been open about fancying his chances, other senior Tories are keeping their cards close to their chests.
