Summary

Iain and Jacqui discuss the resignation of the Prime Minister, analyse the runners and riders in the Tory leadership contest and wonder how the European elections will turn out when the results are announced on Sunday evening.

Hello, good morning, good evening, good afternoon.

Welcome to the For The Many Podcast.

Can I just say, Jackie, it is an honour to serve the podcast that I love.

0:22.1

Stop being so horrible.

I have been, it's Saturday morning when we're recording this and actually I feel really bad

0:30.5

that every single newspaper has got a picture of Theresa May looking tearful on the front of it. When you yesterday were being

from Navarra Media on Sky News. I mean, I don't know why broadcasters have these people on, to be

1:25.8

honest. And they don't do the Labour Party any good

they will look at the Prime Minister and they think, well, she's done her best and it's a shame it's

1:49.9
