both kind of freestyled in the vein of david cameron. and he certainly was the media's favourite. yes, some people thought it was a bit too swaggering that speech and now he's out of it. what do you make of all of these criticisms that are coming from the sort of more wet end of the conservative party, that it's wrong to have two righties in the final? >> well, yes, of course i think they have. they have bad memories of a previous , rather memories of a previous, rather short lived premiership . and short lived premiership. and they've got to now trust the membership, haven't they. again and over to them. but now they've only got the two right wing candidates to choose from. so suddenly they're saying do you think. well, well it's a problem i think for for the, the, for the conservative party certainly is a problem. but what i love about it is that they're now saying we should change the rules. you know what? you're going to change the rules. what? before you finally have this election, can you do that? i don't think you can. what do you mean , change? mean, change? >> stuck with it to try and end up with a one nation backing? i don't know, but why is there always this problem with the

parliamentary party being at odds with the grass roots movement? the grass roots have constantly favoured badenoch and jenrick. yes, tugendhat and cleverly , to be fair, cleverly's cleverly, to be fair, cleverly's popularity has increased over the course of the campaign. he's not done his career prospects any harm whatsoever. in fact, some people say that if generic gets it or badenoch gets it, they carry the can for a couple of years and then somebody else might come in for the general election anyway, and it could be cleverly waiting in the wings. nothing ventured, nothing gained. but why does the parliamentary party always? or some people in the parliamentary party always want to sort of not let the grassroots have what they want to have? >> well, because because of because of the liz truss experience. well , because of the liz truss experience. well, is it because of the liz truss experience. well , is it the because of the liz truss experience. well, is it the liz truss experience? well, i think it's a lot to do with it, isn't it? and let's be honest, the conservative party membership has gone right down anyway, as indeed has labour party membership. but anyway, that's another matter. gone right down the people that are left will tend to be the sort of people who go, well, what we need is we need to crack down on immigration , all the oldham, the
