The young man in a baseball cap doesn't have time to stop for a chat, but he needs only four words to get across his message: "Bring back Boris, innit."
We are in the market town of Monmouth, a Welsh Conservative stronghold where David Davies has been MP since 2005. In the last general election the Tories won a majority of almost 10,000 here, but as we interview shoppers on Monnow Street there are few signs that this is a heartland for the party.
The verdict from those we speak with on Saturday afternoon is damning of the Conservatives' recent record in UK government, including accusations of "ineptitude" and "crazy economics". But there are also some calls for Boris Johnson to return or Rishi Sunak to enter Number 10. And we bump into the area's MP who, on his way to a shoe shop, tells us there is "no reason whatsoever" for a general election and why he is backing a "safe pair of hands" in the Tory leadership contest, which is set to conclude within a week.
