As the nation heats up, so too does the Conservative leadership race. There are 11 people in the running so far, what can we expect from them? Plus, the nation’s economic woes continue – we look at what more turmoil is to come. And, could we see record-breaking temperatures this week? Ros Taylor is joined by Naomi Smith to lay out the days ahead.

"If I’m not maniacally laughing at the farce of it, I’m just depressed.” – Naomi Smith
“We’ve got Conservative leadership candidates all promising to cut taxes, so how are they going to fund their levelling up agenda?” – Naomi Smith
"New trade deals are not compensating at all for the trade that we’ve lost with the European Union.” – Naomi Smith
“I think we are running into a long hot summer of very hard times for families.” – Naomi Smith
"There are so many female candidates, and so many ethnic minority candidates, and yet everyone is right wing." – Ros Taylor
"Labour's never had a female leader, whilst the Conservative Party might have had three Prime Ministers." – Naomi Smith
"Whoever you want Penny Mordaunt to be, she can be." – Ros Taylor
"Tax cuts on certain groups have no impact on economic growth whatsoever." – Naomi Smith
