Top tips for the new Tory leader

Ahead of finally finding out who the next Prime Minister will be, writer Matt Ridley joins Christopher Hope to give his 10 rules for the next Tory leader to live by, and, given the winter we have coming ahead, we're sure either Sunak or Truss would appreciate a how-to-guide. Matt warns Chopper about the dangers of 'crony capitalists' and people who claim to be able to predict the future, and hopes the next Prime Minister can learn a valuable lesson from lightbulbs.

Also on the podcast, the Telegraph's chief leader writer, Philip Johnston, delves into history (yes, the '90s now count as history, listeners) to illustrate why he thinks Keir Starmer is more Kinnock than Blair.
