Emily Maitlis, "You've stretched out a hand to Reform"
Jacob Rees-Mogg, "It's too early.. But the two wings of the right have to unite.. We cannot win until we reunite the Conservative family.. They left because we aren't serving them"
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "What do you think about Sunak's campaign?"
JRM, "It had a few hiccups"
KGM, "Hiccups? What went wrong?"
JRM, "Well an umbrella on day would have helped"
EM, "Would you see Reform and Conservatives merge?"
JRM, "It was a mistake to get rid of Boris Johnson"
EM, "It was your party that got rid of him"
JRM, "It was stupid and I said that at the time"
EM, "He has misled parliament"
JRM, "It was a bias committee.. The committee degraded parliament"
EM, "Not the man who had parties?"
