Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots and Spectators Daily Politics podcast. I'm Isabel Hardman and this is the Sunday roundup.

Jeremy Hunt joined Andrew Marr this morning days after coming second in the initial round of the Conservative Leadership Contest.

The Foreign Secretary was keen to lay out the difference between him and frontrunner Boris Johnson.

Now, you say, therefore, that you can reopen the negotiations and get a better deal. Can I put

it to you, there is not a shred of evidence that anybody on the other side of the argument is

prepared to do that. Have you got any evidence at all that anybody is prepared to do this?

I believe that there is a deal there. I think there is evidence when you talk to Europe.

Well, let me answer the question, Andrew. When you talk to European leaders as I do, they want to solve this problem.

They say that if they were approached by a British Prime Minister, someone they were willing to deal with,

who had ideas as to how to

solve the Northern Irish border, they would be willing to renegotiate the package.

Now, I'm not saying that's going to be easy, but my point is simply this.

If we are saying now that we're going to choose headlong, a no-deal Brexit on the 31st October

or an election, those are very stark choices.

Are they the best for Britain? And I'm sitting here arguing that we can negotiate better choices

and offer those to the British... We are already at the nub of the argument. President Macron said

very recently, under no circumstances and under no conditions, will there be any renegotiation of the withdrawal agreement.

And Angela Merkel has said, we have made it clear that the withdrawal agreement will not be changed.

And then you go to the Irish side, Leo Varadka, the Tao Teeshach, says, if we don't have the backstop, there is no deal.

A time limit is effectively saying there could be a hard border once that time

expires and that isn't a backstop. And again and again they've said the same kind of things.

So are you really suggesting they're saying something privately to you that's very different from that?
