0:00.0 | Three minutes after 10 is the time. You're listening to James O'Brien on LBC. A very good morning to you. |
0:05.5 | We expect the new Prime Minister to be announced that, well, the new leader of the Conservative Party, |
0:09.6 | who becomes Prime Minister tomorrow after flying, to bow moral and back to be appointed or anointed by the Queen. |
0:16.4 | I'm never quite sure what the correct terminology is. I know it isn't anointed. |
