Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrea Leadsom

Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question this evening are businessman James Reed, Labour MP Jeevun Sandher, former Conservative MP and minister Dame Andrea Leadsom and journalist Luke McGee.

This year's Conservative Party conference will be a beauty pageant for would-be leaders, with each one setting out their stall as to why they're the right person to head up the party. So this week Westminster Insider host Sascha O'Sullivan dives into what it's really like to be a contender in a Tory leadership campaign — and how candidates can appeal to both MPs and party members alike.  Andrea Leadsom, who made it through to the final two leadership candidates in 2016 before dramatically dropping out at the 11th hour, recalls the intense pressure on her at the time — and tells Sascha why she really decided to pull out of the race and concede to Theresa May.   Sascha also speaks to the Tories' former deputy leader, Peter Lilley, about his own failed run for the leadership back in 1997, and to former party leader Michael Howard about why Tory members were given more of a say at that time over who should be in charge. Tory peer Daniel Finkelstein, a former adviser to William Hague, explains how this new role for the membership led to the election of unpopular leaders like Iain Duncan Smith and Liz Truss.  And former campaign chiefs Tim Loughton, who ran Leadsom's campaign, and James Starkie, who ran Priti Patel's recent leadership bid, give a behind-the-scenes view of how candidates battle to win Tory MPs over to their side.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Wave of Conservative MP Resignations To be fair, we knew this would be an issue for the Conservatives even before the election was announced. Prior to the election announcement, 66 Conservative MPs had already declared that they would stand down at the next election. Considering that the Conservatives held 344 seats before the election, this means roughly 20% of Conservative MPs are resigning at this election. Since the election was called, we have seen even more MPs announce their resignations. As of 9:00 AM on May 29th, the number has risen to 77. This group of 77 includes some very high-profile figures such as Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee; Chris Grayling, former Transport Secretary; George Eustice, former Environment Secretary; Michael Gove, Levelling Up Secretary and former Education Secretary; Matt Hancock, former Health Secretary; Sajid Javid, former Chancellor; and even Theresa May, former Prime Minister. In fact, of the 77 stepping down, 22 are either current or former Secretaries of State. Comparison of Resignation Numbers in Elections Indeed, the number of MPs resigning in this election is high. In 2019, only 32 Conservative MPs resigned, and in 2017, this number was just 12. However, this is not the highest number of resignations seen by an incumbent party during an election. Even back in 2010, 100 Labour MPs stepped down, although it's worth noting that MPs were embroiled in the expenses scandal at that time. The Conservatives' Challenge in Selecting Candidates With the election day approaching, the Conservatives now need to find candidates to replace these outgoing MPs. This is no small task. According to The Spectator, Labour is far ahead of the Conservatives in finalising their candidates. The deadline for this is Friday, June 7th, and as of Monday, the Conservatives still had 160 vacancies to fill. While this sounds like a daunting task, there are some signs that they might be able to meet this target. The Spectator points out that many of the remaining constituencies are unwinnable, with many of them located in Labour strongholds in inner London. As a result, few candidates typically apply for these seats. These seats should be relatively easy for the party to find candidates for and should not take them too long. However, the more challenging task lies in a handful of more attractive seats, those that appear more winnable, which have become available following the recent resignations of Tory MPs. Examples of such seats include Jo Churchill's Bury St Edmunds seat, Andrea Leadsom's South Northamptonshire seat, and Michael Gove's Surrey Heath seat. These constituencies have majorities of 24,999 votes, 27,761 votes, and 18,349 votes, respectively. The Conservatives will want to select their candidates much more carefully here as whoever they select stands a much greater chance of winning. Conclusion All in all, this is going to be a tricky task for the Conservatives, and whether they succeed is anyone's guess at this point. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yangfx/support

After the Tories' drubbing in the local elections and the many, many rumors about efforts to unseat Rishi Sunak, Aggie Chambre talks us through how to prepare a secret Conservative leadership campaign.Former No. 10 head of political comms Adam Jones takes us inside Liz Truss's "fizz with Liz" soirees, explains why she took *that* picture in the tank, and says his former boss got "punch drunk" on love from Tory members. Former adviser Lucia Hodgson, who ran Andrea Leadsom's 2019 leadership bid, explains the years of work they put into that campaign, and reveals why you need to know everything you can about your opponents. Aggie speaks to former Tory contender Michael Heseltine about what he did and did not do before his infamous run in 1990 — about his regrets, supporters and missteps.

In a first for our podcasts, we delve into the world of government and parliament. RCPCH President Camilla Kingdon speaks with Dame Andrea Leadsom MP, Conservative Member of Parliament for South Northamptonshire about her experiences of advocating for infant and child health. Dame Andrea wants every baby to have the best start in life - a message shared by the College. She chaired the Government's Early Years Healthy Development Review and its March 2021 report, The best start for life, a vision for the 1001 critical days, outlines areas for action to improve the health outcomes of all babies in England, including new Family Hubs. She now chairs the Start for Life Unit, a team of civil servants tasked with implementing the review's recommendations. Dame Andrea talks with Camilla about her experiences of championing infant and child health in Parliament, and why she's so passionate and focused on this early period of life. Camilla asks how paediatricians can use their voice to support policy change, particularly where there are competing priorities, and how to consider poverty's impact on child health outcomes. Ensuring decision-makers introduce the best public policy for children and young people is an important part of our work at RCPCH. We engage regularly with Ministers, senior civil servants, MPs, Lords and advisers on a wide range of matters. On some occasions, like this one, that will mean engaging with individuals from specific political parties. However, we never endorse political parties or movements, and work with representatives of all parties equally and that remains the case with this podcast. We are grateful to Dame Andrea for sharing her views as someone with a central role in government policymaking on early years. Do keep an eye out on our podcasts for future conversations with policymakers from across the political spectrum.

POLITICO's Ailbhe Rea takes us inside the art of the political interview.In a rare conversation on the other side of the microphone, Today programme presenter and ex-BBC political editor Nick Robinson opens up about what's going through his mind in the middle of a high-profile grilling, politicians lying, persuading them to come on the Today programme, and what happened behind the scenes when he notoriously told Boris Johnson to “stop talking.”Rob Burley, who has plotted political interviews with the greats including Andrew Neil, Andrew Marr, Jeremy Paxman, Emily Maitlis and now Beth Rigby at Sky News, takes us through how they game-plan a big interview, the great interviews of political history — and what Paxo was thinking when he asked Michael Howard the same question 12 times.Former Westminster Hour doyenne Carolyn Quinn reveals the complex human relationships between interviewers and politicians, while former Tory comms staffer Laura-Emily Dunn reveals what's happening on the politician side. Andrea Leadsom and Rachel Sylvester each — separately — recall Leadsom's car crash “motherhood” interview during the 2016 Tory leadership campaign, which, of course, prompted her to drop out of the race and left Theresa May as Prime Minister.

In the end, all of Boris Johnson's bluster couldn't hide the facts: He didn't have the votes to win the Conservative Party leadership contest and stage a political comeback just weeks after being forced out as prime minister. The former Tory leader raced back from his Caribbean holiday to test the waters and try to garner the support of enough MPs to proceed to the next round. But as British media counted the number of declared supporters for Johnson, it cast doubt on whether he could cross the 100-vote threshold. “Essentially, the Boris Johnson bandwagon blew up,” said Tim Bale, a professor of politics at Queen Mary, University of London. “He really doesn't seem to have attracted anything like as much support as he hoped he would.” Sajid Javid, Rishi Sunak and Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrive at No 9 Downing Street in 2021. Photo / AP, File The 58-year-old Johnson is one of the most recognised — and divisive — figures in British politics. The self-deprecating court jester of a figure led the Conservative party to a thumping election victory in 2019 with his bombastic speeches and populist policies. But critics were repulsed by what they saw as a penchant for bending the rules and embroiling the party in a series of scandals that torpedoed its standing with voters. Johnson's three tumultuous years in Downing St featured allegations that he gave lucrative government contracts to wealthy supporters, allowed a senior Cabinet minister to bully subordinates and improperly used political donations to redecorate his official residence. He was finally brought down by suggestions that he mishandled sexual misconduct charges against a party official, which forced him to step aside after more than 50 Cabinet secretaries and lower-level officials resigned from his government. But Johnson's downslide was encapsulated in the long-running controversy over Downing St parties in 2020 and 2021 that violated Covid-19 lockdown rules. With an investigation into whether Johnson intentionally misled Parliament about those parties to get underway in coming weeks, the scandal hung over Johnson's bid to return to power like a guillotine. If the inquiry by a committee of MPs finds Johnson in contempt of Parliament, he could be suspended from Parliament and face a recall election. That's not something Conservative MPs want as they try to unite the party, and the nation, behind the spending cuts and tax increases likely needed to restore the nation's financial credibility after outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss' failed experiment with trickle-down economics. “This all started because Boris Johnson was unable to run the government in the right way to keep it together … and to uphold the high standards of conduct that are necessary in the highest offices in the land,” former party leader William Hague told Times Radio on Friday. “So the idea that him returning is the solution — that ... could become a death spiral of the Conservative Party.” Johnson's supporters tried to shrug off such criticism. Instead, they focused on the idea that their man made the right decisions when it mattered — leading Britain out of the European Union, rapidly rolling out vaccines to combat the coronavirus pandemic, and being among the first to send arms to Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. Just hours before Johnson bowed out, one of his most vocal supporters went on BBC television's influential Sunday morning political interview show and claimed he already had the support of more than 100 members of Parliament. Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie Johnson. Photo / Getty Images “I have been speaking to Boris Johnson and, clearly, he is going to stand,” said Jacob Rees-Mogg, who was a member of Johnson's Cabinet. “There is a great deal of support for him.” But media vote counts never supported the bluster. As the leading candidate, Rishi Sunak raced past with 150 backers, Johnson's support stalled at 76, according to the Guido Fawkes website, which focuses on UK politics. The BBC counted just 57 Johnson supporters. Matthew Parris, a columnist for the Times of London, saw the Boris boosterism as a strategy to scare off opposition. “Momentum is being manufactured through creating an impression that Johnson is already on his way to victory,” Parris wrote. “Mysterious reports on social media suggest he's surging ahead among those MPs who are declaring — but the identities of some of these are undisclosed. They will [we're assured] reveal themselves ‘later.'” Johnson tried another gambit Sunday, trying to persuade Sunak and Penny Mordaunt, the third candidate, to drop out and support him as the only candidate with the broad appeal to unite the party at this difficult time. Sunak and Mordaunt called his bluff. “I think he thought the shock and awe campaign might persuade Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt perhaps to surrender to him, to the supposedly inevitable,” Bale said. “But they were much cleverer and realised that it wasn't inevitable at all.'' Conservative Party leadership candidate Penny Mordaunt, left, and Andrea Leadsom arrive at the BBC studios, in London on Sunday. Mordaunt dropped out of the race. Photo / AP Johnson blustered on until Sunday night, when it became clear he couldn't count on the party's right-wing for support. He threw in his cards after Suella Braverman and Steve Baker, who had backed him as leaders of the pro-Brexit European Research Group, gave their support to Sunak. Alex Crowley, a one-time Johnson aide, said his former boss probably did have enough support to get on the ballot. But that wasn't enough to overcome questions about whether he was the right person to unite the party months after dozens of MPs refused to serve in his government. “There were lots of influential voices within the party who were saying, ‘actually you know, this isn't the right time, this isn't the right call',” Crowley told the BBC. “And, you know, Boris' natural instinct is, if he can't win then he doesn't want to compete.” But don't expect Johnson to fade from the political scene. When Johnson left office in early September, he suggested he was planning to return to Downing St. First, he left the House of Commons with the words “hasta la vista, baby”, conjuring images of Arnold Schwarzenegger who famously promised to return as The Terminator. Then he left Downing Street with an allusion to Cincinnatus, the Roman dictator who laid down his arms and went back to his farm before coming out of retirement to rule Rome again. On Sunday night, Johnson hinted his return had been delayed, not cancelled. Boris Johnson speaks during the Nato summit in Madrid. Photo / Getty Images, File With the next general election expected in late 2024, there's likely to be another leadership contest in the coming months unless Sunak can quickly unite the Conservatives. “I believe I am well placed to deliver a Conservative victory in 2024,” Johnson said late Sunday. “But in the course of the last days I have sadly come to the conclusion that this would simply not be the right thing to do,” he said. “You can't govern effectively unless you have a united party in Parliament.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Theresa May deixa liderança do Partido Conservador do Reino Unido nesta sexta Ela continua no cargo de primeira-ministra até que sucessor seja eleito; novo líder conservador e premiê britânico deve ser conhecido na semana de 22 de julho. Theresa May deixa nesta sexta-feira (7) a liderança do Partido Conservador. Ela permanece, porém, como primeira-ministra do Reino Unido até que seu sucessor seja eleito, o que deve acontecer na segunda quinzena de julho. A partir do dia 10, membros de seu partido terão uma semana para se inscrever e concorrer à liderança e, consequentemente, ao cargo de premiê, já que o Partido Conservador ocupa a maioria na Câmara dos Comuns. De acordo com a BBC, 11 membros do partido já confirmaram sua intenção de participar do processo. Entre os mais conhecidos estão o ex-prefeito de Londres, Boris Johnson, e ex-ministros e secretários, como Michael Gove, Andrea Leadsom e Jeremy Hunt. O conselho do Partido Conservador anunciou que pretende divulgar o nome de um novo primeiro-ministro na semana que começa em 22 de julho. Votações Cada um dos candidatos precisa ter o apoio de pelo menos oito colegas de partido para seguir adiante. Em seguida, deve obter 5% dos votos em uma primeira votação e 10% na segunda, o que equivale a 16 e 32 deputados, respectivamente. A partir daí, é eliminado o que tiver menos votos, e o processo continua com esta regra até que restem apenas dois. Serão realizados então uma série de encontros entre candidatos e eleitores, seguidos por uma votação pelo correio, da qual participarão 124 mil membros registrados do Partido Conservador. Recesso de verão A data para a divulgação do nome do novo primeiro-ministro poderá coincidir com o recesso de verão do Parlamento, que ainda não teve seu início informado. Mel Stride, líder do Partido Conservador na Câmara dos Comuns, disse ao jornal “Independent” que não pode garantir que os prazos não coincidam. Caso isso aconteça, o novo premiê teria quase dois meses no cargo antes que pudesse ser questionado pelos parlamentares, em setembro, atrapalhando os planos do Partido Trabalhista, que já afirmou que irá propor uma moção de confiança ao novo líder assim que ele tomar posse. Dominic Raab, ex-secretário do Brexit que renunciou ao cargo em 2018 e é um dos candidatos, irritou colegas de seu próprio partido ao sugerir que, caso seja eleito, poderia estender o recesso, fazendo com que os parlamentares permaneçam afastados até o fim de outubro. Desta forma, eles não poderiam tentar bloquear um Brexit sem acordo, que ele defende.
