| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Coffey House Shots The Spectators Daily Politics Podcast. I'm Isabel Hardman and this is the Sunday |
| 0:16.2 | roundup. This week there have been reports of Tory ministers calling for Rishi Sunak to be replaced |
| 0:22.1 | by Business Secretary Kimmy Badenock, who consistently tops polls on the popularity of cabinet ministers. |
| 0:29.0 | On Sky News this morning, Trevor Phillips showed Baidenock a graph which gave her a favourability rating of 64%, contrasted with Rishi Sunak on minus 26%. |
| 0:40.0 | He asked her if she was involved in the plotting for a leadership change. |
| 0:43.7 | The secret that many Conservative Party members would prefer you to lead them into the next election. |

| 1:35.9 | spectator that they need to stop messing around and get behind the |
| 1:40.5 | leader the facts of the matter is most people in the country are not |
| 1:43.7 | interested in all of this Westminster tittle tackle and quite frankly the people who |
| 1:48.4 | keep putting my name in there are not my friends they don't care about me |
| 1:51.6 | they don't care about my family or what this would entail. They're just stirring. |
| 1:56.2 | And we have 350 MPs. There's a small number of people who are doing this. The vast majority of Conservative MPs support the Prime Minister as we saw in the |
| 2:05.5 | response to the article that Simon Clark put out last week and I think that should be the end of the matter. |
