Summary
On Tuesday afternoon, James Cleverly got the most votes from Tory MPs in the party’s leadership contest. One day later and the next round of voting went a different way. Cleverly failed to make the final two. <br /><br />Party members will now choose between Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick in a clear indication that the party will shift towards the right in the months after its election defeat. <br /><br />So, what happened with Wednesday’s vote, and who will the Tory membership be most attracted to as they decide the party's new leader? <br /><br />Niall Paterson and our political correspondent Serena Barker-Singh discuss it all on this episode. <br /><br />Producer: Soila Apparicio<br />Editor: Paul Stanworth
