Tory leadership battle: Who will become Leader of the Opposition? | LBC analysis

The deadline for candidates to step forward to be the next Conservative Party leader is looming. Five have so far formalised their candidacies, with more expected too. So who will become the next Leader of the Opposition at the end of this protracted race? Priti Patel, James Cleverly, Robert Jenrick, Tom Tugendhat, Mel Stride...or someone as yet undeclared? Ben Kentish speaks to Sarah Southern (00:00), a former adviser to David Cameron, to get her assessment of the race so far. Ben also hears from LBC listeners (05:05) to get their takes.
