Summary
On this week's New Statesman podcast, Stephen Bush and Anoosh Chakelian are discussing the launches of a number of Tory leadership challengers, not least a certain Boris Johnson. In You Ask Us, they question whether he is truly the electable behemoth some in his party think, and, finally, they turn their attention to the forgotten leadership race, where Jo Swinson and Ed Davey are facing off for the keys to the Liberal Democrats.
