The knives are out in Westminster as Conservative MPs vie to become the next leader of the party. It's the battle of the slogans: will Britain be "Ready for Rishi" or will P.M. be PM?
The Telegraph's Associate Editor for Politics, Christopher Hope, is back in the Red Lion pub and joined by cheerleaders for two of the candidates, David Davis MP and Steve Baker MP. The latter was setting out his stall to Suella Braverman who, as of this afternoon, is no longer in the running. Steve had strong opinions on what a Conservative is and whether Boris was one.
Outside of the speculation, Professor Matthew Goodwin popped by the pub armed with the latest polling data from Red Wall areas. He had some quite explosive analysis of what could happen in the coming weeks, months and years ahead of the next election.
And making his debut on the podcast, one of the earliest candidates to throw their hat in the ring for Tory leader - and then promptly pick it up again - it's Rehman Chishti MP.

Indian-origin Rishi Sunak leads British PM race; Round 2 of Tory leadership vote today
66,482 views Jul 14, 2022 India-origin British MP, Rishi Sunak, one of the frontrunners in the race to the UK prime minister’s office, has won round 1 of Tory leadership vote. He emerged the favourite with the most number of votes (88) in the first round. Two candidates have been eliminated after Round 1 votes to choose the successor of Boris Johnson as the leader of the Conservative Party and the UK Prime Minister. Newly appointed Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi and former Cabinet minister Jeremy Hunt are out of the race after not being able to attract the requisite votes of at least 30 MPs. The Conservative MPs will whittle down the field to two final candidates through successive rounds of voting, before the wider Tory party membership elect their winner. Watch this video for more details.
