Ex-Conservative chancellor Ken Clarke has called the Tory leadership contest a "fiasco" and made disparaging remarks about the candidates.

Footage of the veteran MP preparing for an interview was released by Sky News.

He said Andrea Leadsom had said some "extremely stupid things" and predicted Michael Gove would take the UK to war "with three countries at once".

He was talking to ex-foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind. Neither appeared to realise they were being recorded.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did this 'accidentally on purpose' knowing it would be widely reported.

My thoughts exactly. These guys are old hands with hundreds of TV appearances spanning decades and are well aware of the likelihood of recording equipment being left on.
