Badenoch v Jenrick: Can either candidate get the Tories back to power?

Tory leadership ballots have now gone out - and Conservative members must now chose if they want Kemi Badenoch or Robert Jenrick to lead their party. Unusually, both candidates come from the same wing of the party - the right - which begs the question, is there a genuine path for them to win over a wider electorate? We speak to the man spearheading the movement to find the Tories their route back to power, Grant Shapps. Later, why are we horrified to discover our Prime Minister spent ten minutes speaking to one of the most influential women in the world? And why is the Daily Mail calling this a DARK DAY FOR ENGLAND?
