0:25.2 | Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the Spectators' Daily Politics Podcast. |
0:31.7 | I'm Isabel Hardman and I'm joined by James Forsyth and Katie Balls and we are back on the roof of Parliament again. |
0:39.2 | There's been another letter gone into 1922 committee chair, Sir Graham Brady, this time from Anthony Magnell, calling for a vote of no confidence. James, is this a significant development? |
