This is going to be a unique series of interviews/phone-ins with all the candidates for the leadership of the Conservative Party. One of them will become Prime Minister and this long form interview format will put each of the candidates to the test. Each candidate will face half an hour of questions from me, then half an hour of questions from our listeners. All the interviews will be streamed live on our website and social media pages.”
