Summary
Boris Johnson 'won' the vote of confidence in his leadership, but voters will note that many of his MPs don't support him and will wonder why they should, either.
If there is a leadership contest most voters will not have a role - and all candidates will pitch to the right in order to win.
Rock & Roll Politics is live and streaming live on Wed June 8th - A Tory Leadership Special. Tickets here: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/rock-n-roll-politics-8-jun/

| 0:00.0 | I'm Thank you. Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the weekly podcast with me, Steve Richards. |
| 0:34.6 | Thanks so much for tuning in wherever you are in the UK or indeed |
| 0:39.1 | around the rest of the world. And as ever, we've got a lot to cram in in our time together. |
| 0:47.8 | If it's okay with you, I'll make a couple of assembly announcements and then reflect on the vote of confidence in Johnson and one of |
| 0:59.5 | its implications at least. And then we'll go over to you for some questions. So first of all, |

| 1:15.4 | And that means I will be reflecting in much more detail about Boris Johnson, |
| 1:21.0 | where he is, what it tells us, about the modern Conservative Party, |
| 1:25.8 | and indeed modern Britain |
| 1:27.9 | and what could well follow from what happened yesterday. |

| 1:55.1 | the hall, but there are a few left on the King's Place website. So you can go there, get that, |
| 2:00.3 | and we can get together and have a whole |
| 2:01.6 | evening. Those of you on the stream and indeed are live, get a glass of wine and we can make |
