The gloves are off when it comes to Conservatives voicing their thoughts on their leader this week, so Christopher Hope invites both sides of the argument to the Red Lion to duke it out (with words, that is).

Northern Ireland Minister and long-time Johnson ally, Conor Burns MP, makes his case in defence of the Prime Minister, letting listeners know that Boris Johnson isn't someone to give up lightly. While in the other corner of the ring, Conservative Home founder Tim Montgomerie bemoans the lack of ambition he sees in government, and accuses Boris Johnson of having less vision than Gordon Brown...

Plus, veteran broadcaster Alastair Stewart, on why he thinks the 'mainstream media' is less than impartial when it comes to Boris Johnson, and Charles Lewington, former Head of Communications for the Tories in the 1990s, on why comparisons to Sir John Major's government are misplaced.
