It’s been a big day for Boris Johnson - so much so that his leader’s speech at the Conservative Party Conference was only the second most important thing in his diary. Immediately after his address in Manchester, the Prime Minister published details of the Brexit deal he is offering the EU. 

In today’s episode of The Leader podcast Julian Glover dissects the Prime Minister’s big speech, how it relates to his brexit plan, and why Sajid Javid could now be next in line to Number 10 should the conservatives find themselves seeking a new leader.

Also, Martin Bentham discusses Scotland Yard’s plans for new legal powers to stop Extinction Rebellion and other protesters bringing parts of the capital to a standstill.
