Catherine Bohart: TL;DR - 5. Are we going to see Robert Jenrick's Brat Summer?

No time to read the news? Catherine Bohart does it for you in TL;DR - this week, what's the Opposition for? And which British leadership hopeful wants their own brat summer?

Confused by candidates? If you're feeling adrift ahead of the Conservative leadership election, TL;DR has done the reading for you.

Alex Kealy joins Catherine Bohart to look at the runners and riders. In the sidebar, Russian stand-up Olga Koch looks at why a strong opposition is politically useful, and Financial Times columnist Stephen Bush looks at what it takes for an opposition to get back in the driving seat.

Written by Catherine Bohart, with Madeleine Brettingham, Sarah Campbell, and Georgie Flinn.
