In This Episode
At last there is white smoke in the negotiations over the rules for the Tory leadership contest. On Monday, the 1922 committee met and agreed a timetable for the contest to succeed Rishi Sunak as Conservative party leader. The plan is for a new leader to be unveiled 2 November with eligible candidates to throw their name into the ring before the summer recess. It’s going to be a long process, but will they be able to keep it civil? Will this be a beauty contest or a Tory Wacky Races?
Fraser Nelson speaks to Katy Balls and James Heale.
Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
