Summary

The Matts pick off the Tory leadership candidates one by one with the nagging doubt in their minds that, whoever wins, it doesn’t really matter.

0:53.5	dip your toe into a whole new world
0:56.2	of journalism. Hello and happy Monday afternoon evening. Happy Monday to everyone. Yeah. Have you been,
1:02.6	obsessing as I haven't on the Tory party leadership stuff? Well, I mean, obsessing I think is

1:35.5	Actually, why some of the things that are being said are rather alarming. And so here's a clip of Robert Jenrick, who's the current bookie's favourite to be the next leader,
