Summary

Some Conservative members want their next Prime Minister to be... Boris Johnson. A man who shares this view is... Boris Johnson himself, who anticipates a return to Number 10 despite the current race to replace him. Plus the undeserved elevation of Margaret Thatcher to god-like levels, even among non-Conservatives, and brilliant audience questions. Rock & Roll Politics is live at the Edinburgh Festival from Aug 15.

So if it's okay with all of you, what we'll do is a couple of assembly notices, very brief.

Boris Johnson, there he is, still in number 10, already contemplating his comeback.
