| 0:17.9 | Hello and welcome to Coffee How Shots Aspectators Daily and I think for probably the most |
| 0:22.0 | of the summer, more than daily podcast. I'm joined by James O'Sive and Fraser Nelson and we've had |
| 0:29.1 | several developments when it comes to the Tory leadership race. Later today, the 1922 |
| 0:33.6 | committee will be met after fresh elections taking place this afternoon and the rules of the |
| 0:37.3 | contest will be set. James, before we look at the candidates, can you just let us know what |

| 1:22.6 | bar. For example, take Camille Badenock who got the Michael Goves endorsement last night. |
| 1:26.8 | I think she could probably get to 20 names. I think 36 names by the close of play tomorrow |
| 1:31.4 | would be more of a stretch for her. So I think that I think it will define what kind of campaign |
| 1:37.6 | it is. I think we also need to look at the fact that there is a big battle going on right now. |
