Yes. Should be quite a scrap tonight, the belligerents are in front of a 100% Tory audience, some of whom voted blue for the first time ever at the last GE, I’m intrigued as to how their views may have changed since 2019 and what questions they’ll have for cabinet colleagues of Johnson’s government.
