The Conservative Party is undergoing the arduous process of electing a new leader to replace Rishi Sunak and become the next leader of the opposition.

Former Home Secretary Priti Patel was eliminated in the first round, leaving Robert Jenrick, James Cleverly and Kemi Badenoch as the front-runners.

Andrew Marr joins Hannah Barnes and Rachel Cunliffe on the New Statesman podcast to discuss the candidates, and the impact they might have on the shape of the Tory party in opposition. Andrew and Rachel also reveal the mood within the parliament tea-rooms, and make their predictions for who will make it to the final ballot.
