Summary
Jacob Rees-Mogg joins Christopher Hope to make his case for why Boris Johnson needs to take back the reins of the Tory party and the nation, following Liz Truss's shock resignation yesterday. He talks about the former PM's strong mandate and how the numbers already flocking to support him have been "pleasantly surprising". The Business Secretary also warns colleagues calling for a spell in opposition to remember the difficulties of the 90s...
Also on the podcast, the Telegraph's Political Reporter and resident stats man Dominic Penna breaks down the numbers of Truss' short tenure, plus Chopper brings back Telegraph Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith and Tony Diver, Whitehall Correspondent, to talk about the runners and riders in the race to number 10 (again), and to marvel at Tony's predictions skills.
