berry-300x244

This podcast is sponsored by Berry Bros, The Spectator’s house red.

Boris Johnson’s leadership ambitions have been significantly harmed by David Cameron’s general election victory — can the Mayor of London still succeed? On this week’s View from 22 podcast, James Forsyth and Fraser Nelson discuss the latest Spectator cover feature on Boris’ time in the wilderness and whether he can still be Tory leader. Does this mean George Osborne’s is now the most likely candidate to be the next Prime Minister? And what about Nicky Morgan, who has hinted in the magazine this week she may run as Tory leader? What should we look out for at Tory conference? Isabel Hardman and James Forsyth also review Labour’s conference in Brighton and why it wasn’t the explosive event some predicted. Was Jeremy Corbyn’s first speech as leader a success? Why did so many activists enjoy what John McDonnell had to say? And has the event made any difference to party unity? Plus, Mark Mason and Lara Prendergast discuss whether it’s acceptable for men to ogle women on television.
