Summary

Most of us will not get a say in who becomes our next Prime Minister. The decision is in the hands of 160,000 members of the Conservative Party who now have to choose between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt. Will Mr Johnson's publicity-shy strategy work? Does he need to campaign hard given he is the only Brexiteer on the ballot paper? And can Jeremy Hunt find a way to cause an upset? Also this week, the rising tensions between the US and Iran. Are we on the cusp of war? Joining Adam Boulton this week to discuss the Tory leadership race and Iran are Sky News' director of newsgathering Jonathan Levy, deputy political editor Sam Coates, The Times' defence correspondent Lucy Fisher and the head of Sky Data Harry Carr.
