Six candidates have lined up to lead the Conservative Party into its first period of opposition for 14 years. Over the coming months, The Daily T will be speaking to the candidates battling for the soul of the Tories - in a series we’re calling The Daily T(ory).

As one of the top performers in the polls, James Cleverly is on a mission to win back defected Conservative voters after a disastrous election result that Cleverly says ‘lost them the right to be listened to’ as a party.

He talks to Kamal and guest presenter Camilla Turner about how he plans to run the party he loves, his frustrations at being in opposition, and his solutions for ‘two-tier policing’ after the recent riots.
