Rory Stewart on life after the leadership contest and working with Boris Johnson

The first round of voting for the next Conservative leader is over - and Christopher Hope is joined by two candidates who made it through. The Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt is first to make his pitch. But does he risk being seen as a candidate too similar to Theresa May? He tells us why a vote for him is a vote for change, and weighs in on the subject of politicians taking drugs in their youth. Next up, former Brexit Secretary, Dominic Raab, who tells us why he’s the establishment’s “most feared” choice of leader and talks us through his plans to cut taxes for the lowest paid. Plus The Telegraph’s columnist, Allison Pearson sets out her case for backing Boris Johnson and tells us why she turned down Nigel Farage’s offer to stand as an MEP for the Brexit Party.

The leadership race heats up, with Jeremy Hunt and Dominic Raab

Theresa May steps down as Tory leader today -- and we’re joined by two of the people who are vying to replace her.   The Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, is first to set out his stall. Does his background as a private sector dealmaker, his multi-cultural heritage, and his record in office make him the man to lead Britain towards Brexit?   And, more importantly still, can he answer a question about the naughtiest thing he’s ever done without using the phrase “fields of wheat”?   After that, the former Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Esther McVey, makes her case as the only blue collar Tory in the race -- and talks us through her vision of a no-deal Brexit.   With Christopher Hope.   ----   Get 30 days free access to The Telegraph online: www.telegraph.co.uk/chopper   To listen to our Expenses podcast: www.playpodca.st/expenses   Sign up to The Telegraph’s daily Brexit newsletter: www.telegraph.co.uk/brexitbulletin   Email: choppersbrexitpodcast@telegraph.co.uk   Twitter: @brexitbroadcast
