Hello and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast. Blue and Yellow. Till We Die. I'm Ian Tiny Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

Show 7.

Show 7 indeed. And not one, but two leadership contests. Yes. One we've got the, was it

Peterborough? Yes, the Peterborough by-election. Who was the winner in that? Well, that would

have been the Labour Party. But really, maybe numerically. We'll come on to it in a later segment.

Did they really win?

Yeah, well, we'll see what Millsy thinks. He's remaining tight-lipped on the arrangements at the moment.

But our first segment is a chance to now look at the Liberal Democrat leadership race.

And can I just start by congratulating you Simon as a proud liberal democrat

the fact that fully 20% of your parliamentary party put themselves forward for the race has been a

been a very noble thing so your transferable vote single alternate that's going to come really into

play so did you just want to run us through the list

of runners and riders for the lib Dem election so yes so we have we have two excellent candidates in

the lib Dem leadership election two you say yes too excellent i mean to be fair the Tory party are

nearly getting 20% of their parliamentary party.

They're happy to order a bigger bus, I guess.

Yes.

With or without the lies.

Well, they said, went to court this week.

Went to court, private prosecution.

That's a lot of money.
