| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
| 0:11.1 | Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning indeed to you. The sun is out. |
| 0:16.7 | Weather is rosy. Brexit is on the horizon and the Conservative leadership candidates are about to |
| 0:21.0 | expose themselves to Ian Dale. He is, of course, hosting the hustings that will unfold shortly |
| 0:26.4 | after lunch this afternoon. And that's where we will begin this morning's contemplations. We will |
| 0:31.7 | move on to, well, a Labour proposal that I think might be quite a good idea. Restrictions on the owners of buy-to-let properties to try to rein in house prices.
