they would immediately be squabbling over economic policy... presumably thatis over economic policy... presumably that is the problem, isn't it? no one wants a clearly dysfunctional relationship like borisjohnson and rishi sunak. the relationship like boris johnson and rishi sunak— rishi sunak. the tension between number ten _ rishi sunak. the tension between number ten and _ rishi sunak. the tension between number ten and number - rishi sunak. the tension between i number ten and number“, you get rishi sunak. the tension between - number ten and number“, you get it number ten and number 11, you get it often... interesting with rishi sunak... inaudible. the papers will soon be full of candidates announcing, sadgerjaved candidates announcing, sadger javed will candidates announcing, sadgerjaved will put his hand up, nadhim zahawi as well... that's just off the top of my head. —— sadgerjaved. ben wallace, penny mordaunt. jeremy hunt, mustn't forget about him. it will be a list as long as your arm.

right now, rishi sunak is the one to beat, but a long way to go and pretty difficult to predict who will eventually come out on top let's move forward to the ft, which has rishi sunak accused of treachery. clearly a lot of bad blood over the manner of boris's defenestration. presumably, whether encouraged by mr johnson or not, that could haunt the tories over the coming months and years. i tories over the coming months and ears. ~' . tories over the coming months and ears. ~ . , years. i think that is true, although _ years. i think that is true, although along _ years. i think that is true, although along the - years. i think that is true, - although along the westminster party, _ although along the westminster party, that is probably less of an issue _ party, that is probably less of an issue than— party, that is probably less of an issue than it might be among some of the voters. _ issue than it might be among some of the voters, the conservative supporters in the country, possibly. but on _ supporters in the country, possibly. but on the — supporters in the country, possibly. but on the other hand, clearly, things— but on the other hand, clearly, things had _ but on the other hand, clearly, things had got to a pretty dire state. — things had got to a pretty dire state, hadn't they? i think there is a risk— state, hadn't they? i think there is a risk for— state, hadn't they? i think there is a risk for rishi sunak that he will suffer— a risk for rishi sunak that he will suffer that, a risk for rishi sunak that he will sufferthat, but a risk for rishi sunak that he will suffer that, but i don't think it's

case to answer. he gave a press conference this afternoon. he was saying, let's have a snap election, which is a bit of a bold move when you consider the policy cupboard is pretty bare. they would have to come up pretty bare. they would have to come up with some policies pretty quickly. next week we expect labour to put a motion of no confidence in the government, assuming the tory leadership contest is going on until the autumn and borisjohnson will stay in place... it could potentially lead to a general election although i think that's highly unlikely. all oppositions say they are ready for a general election, but i'm not sure right now. i'm sure they will be in a couple of years. inaudible.
