Summary

The heat is on in the Tory leadership contest. Two finalists are expected this week but could we even have a new PM by Friday? Plus, we look at what will happen in Parliament in the last days before recess. And, we brace for what could be the hottest day on record in Britain. Alex Andreou joins Andrew Harrison to chart the days ahead.  "The more I see the more depressing it gets.” – Alex Andreou  “I suspect Johnson will find a way to get out of his last PMQs.” – Alex Andreou  “It says a lot about Johnson’s fall from grace that nobody wants to be associated with him.” – Alex Andreou  “The momentum is now with Sunak, ironically the least ‘fresh start’ candidate available.” – Alex Andreou  “There’s a Tory hustings at 2pm in an unventilated room. Good luck with that.” – Alex Andreou  www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Presented by Andrew Harrison with Alex Andreou. Producers: Jacob Archbold, Jelena Sofronijevic and Alex Rees.
