sunak making significant changes to his cabinet. >> yes, quite significant . it >> yes, quite significant. it started, of course, with the sacking of suella braverman as home secretary . that was after home secretary. that was after days of speculation over her future. following her criticism of the police's handling of protest marches. >> her replace moment is former foreign secretary james cleverly. now his appointment comes 48 hours before a crunch supreme court decision on whether the government's rwanda deportation plan can happen and perhaps the biggest shock of all was the appointment of david cameron as foreign secretary >> he, the former prime minister, returned to government and praised rishi sunak as a strong and capable leader . strong and capable leader. although he has been a little bit vocal in his disagreements with some government policies. we can now speak with our political editor, christopher hope, who is live for us from downing street. christopher, it's hard to know where to start, so i'll ask you, what does this reshuffle so far tell us about rishi sunaks government ? he's bringing in he's bringing

in someone who experienced like david cameron. >> that's no question. he's almost an adult in the room because what they want to do with this reshuffle is bring in young, young , 2019 that mps young, young, 2019 as that mps elected then people in their 30s to show a new kind of refreshed approach to government, but balanced by senior people at the top who have seen all before. balanced by senior people at the top wicameron een all before. balanced by senior people at the top wicameron there'sll before. balanced by senior people at the top wicameron there's no wefore. balanced by senior people at the top wicameron there's no bigger david cameron there's no bigger signing than that in a sense. it's like it's the biggest comeback in politics since bobby ewing woke up in shower ewing woke up in the shower dunng ewing woke up in the shower during dallas in the 1980s and thought he dreamt the entire two previous series as well. that's not the case. david cameron brexit has happened, but certainly there's no question there's a feeling that the grown ups back in the room with ups are back in the room with a very young prime minister, very quite young prime minister, age sunak so , so far age 42. rishi sunak so, so far today suella braverman has gone . today suella braverman has gone. james cleverly has moved from foreign secretary to home secretary, bringing in david cameron. that big headline announcement . but elsewhere in announcement. but elsewhere in government, some junior movements. nick gibb movements. we've got nick gibb has left a schools minister, a very successful individual there who lifted the exams standards ,

who lifted the exams standards, but of course also had the issue of the concrete on his watch . of the concrete on his watch. neil o'brien the health ministry, he's off. and jesse norman now he's in transport elsewhere . and we think that elsewhere. and we think that mark harper is staying where he is and he's a transport secretary we also think that jeremy hunt, who's the accidental chancellor made chancellor by liz truss, surprise him as much as us back in the day, back in september last year. he might will probably will stay on as chancellor given he's the chancellor given he's got the autumn week. autumn statement next week. also, therese coffey, also, we have therese coffey, the environment secretary, went into ago, been seen into hours ago, hasn't been seen since. we're not sure what's going on there. not even a team know what's going on there. it might be a red herring, but i'm also told by other people is also told by other people it is unked also told by other people it is linked reshuffle. so linked to the reshuffle. so we'll wait and see. so all we'll wait and see. so it's all movement here. lots of big shapings here. quite boring shapings up here. quite boring probably for some people because it's basically people move around but for me around government. but for me it's government, it's about this government, this tory election tory party getting election ready, getting young people in to face. sir keir starmers

labour party 25 points ahead in the whatever it is , and the polls or whatever it is, and try and take on the challenge. labour's they've labour's offer because they've got they're got to do something. they're miles polls in terms miles behind the polls in terms of suella braverman chris, is it the end of her now or actually is it only just the beginning ? is it only just the beginning? that's a great question. i mean, for her it's the beginning because of course, she she stands for all the right of the party. she was given that job, wasn't she, back in october last year when she came out and said she backs rishi sunak to be prime minister and got prime minister and that got her to reappointed as home to be reappointed as home secretary. that's certainly what the job she wants to have. and she seen as this kind of she was seen as this kind of standard of a tory, standard bearer of a tory, right. we don't know what's happening with happening next with suella braverman. in braverman. i've asked sources in parliament, she make parliament, will she make a speech, resignation speech, speech, a resignation speech, which could be completely totemic and difficult for the government and for rishi tonight particularly? no word yet. now any speech will take a couple of days to organise probably, maybe thursday even week thursday or even next week and that'll of course we that'll be after of course we get supreme court ruling on

get the supreme court ruling on wednesday this wednesday about whether this plan process rwanda to plan to process rwanda to illegal arrivals in the uk, in rwanda, whether that goes ahead . rwanda, whether that goes ahead. so we'll wait and see on that next week. net migration figures will come out. that should show that of thousands of that hundreds of thousands of people arrived, arrived people arrived, have arrived here legally, totally legally on the government's watch, which many would shows a lack of many would say shows a lack of control of the borders. so lots of ways in for suella braverman to trouble if she wants to. to make trouble if she wants to. but she the new standard but she is the new standard bearer the tory now. bearer of the tory right now. she's backbenches . she's back on the backbenches. >> okay, christopher hope talking to us from downing street. thank you very much. well, straight to the well, let's go straight to the home office right outside it for us is our home and security editor mark white. mark, any sign of james cleverly ? and tell sign of james cleverly? and tell us about this massive in—tray that he's now got . that he's now got. >> yes, indeed . he came here >> yes, indeed. he came here about what, an hour ago now? so he's he's in there and he's getting on with the job. there

are few more challenging jobs . are few more challenging jobs. he's given the international goings on at the moment around the world, all the turmoil, turmoil , turmoil, i should say , turmoil, turmoil, i should say, around the world. and the foreign secretary. but of course , coming here to the home office, it's at the very least a close run. second, given all the items that are in his into in terms of wednesday , we've got terms of wednesday, we've got that as christopher hope was saying there, that decision on rwanda, the supreme court handing down its judgement there and that will, of course, be eagerly awaited because there is no plan b as far as the government is concerned . and government is concerned. and with regard to how they deal with regard to how they deal with those coming across the channel in small boats , it's channel in small boats, it's rwanda or bust. channel in small boats, it's rwanda or bust . and if that goes rwanda or bust. and if that goes against them , then there are against them, then there are going to have to go back to the drawing board to come up with a new policy to deal with those coming across , to act the

coming across, to act in the same kind of deterrent way that they believe the rwanda deal, if it is given approval by the supreme court, will do in addition to that, what is also got to look at is what to do with the many thousands of asylum seekers who are already here. we know that around 50,000 of them are being kept in hotels. well, it was the stated aim of his the previous holder of the home secretary . that post of the home secretary. that post suella braverman. it was her stated aim to try to get as many people out of hotels and into sort of more purpose built or specially adapted asylum seeking accommodation . and that accommodation. and that includes, of course , the likes includes, of course, the likes of old ministry of defence bases. so raf wethersfield is one that springs to mind, is in braintree in essex. well of course the new home secretary is

the mp for braintree and he has been on the record as voicing his opposition to the plans to put these asylum seekers in. wethersfield so we have asked the question of the home office whether the new home secretary is still opposed to the wethersfield or whether he is now committed to wethersfield , now committed to wethersfield, and that will of course be an unpopular with his own constituents . but, you know, if constituents. but, you know, if he's the home secretary there is that policy to get them out of hotels and into these larger scale accommodation centres than it would stand to reason that he would have to be in favour of wethersfield. >> and well, he has a huge job on his hands. thank you very much indeed. mark white, our home and security there home and security editor there outside office in outside the home office in westminster. but let's get the analysis from alex dean, who was former chief of staff to david cameron, and he's also a conservative commentator. alex, thank you very much indeed for joining us in the studio. thank you. i'll ask your reaction ,

you. i'll ask your reaction, seeing as you've worked for the man david cameron, now lord cameron , and he will now be in cameron, and he will now be in the cabinet as foreign secretary. >> well, there are very few people, who could do people, i think, who could do a foreign from foreign affairs brief from a drop down start now , go in the drop down start now, go in the way that he's been put in. he knows a great deal about the foreign affairs brief. >> he's plainly extraordinarily experienced my time with him was very long time ago, but i've watched his progress in politics. i thought that one thing to bear in mind about david cameron is never lost an election. >> so if you are as far behind in the polls as the conservative party is, as chris hope was setting you having setting out, you know, having a winner around you is no bad thing. >> there is, interestingly, though, other people though, one of the other people i think very good at foreign i think is very good at foreign affairs is james cleverly, who's just because just had to make way because it's clear, it's clear it's clear, obviously, cameron obviously, that david cameron wasn't another job. wasn't going to do another job. this was the only that this was the only one that he was back to was going to go back to government do. and it's also government to do. and it's also clear no kind of clear this was in no kind of grand plan, emily pitt, because clear this was in no kind of granlaplan, emily pitt, because clear this was in no kind of granla monthmily pitt, because clear this was in no kind of granla month ago, pitt, because clear this was in no kind of granla month ago, pitt, anameron only a month ago, david cameron was the was having a go at the government over hs2.

>> and clearly, was this >> and clearly, if that was this was return was on the was if this return was on the agenda, have agenda, that wouldn't have happened. >> think he's actually >> yeah, i think he's actually said, must call said, lord cameron, i must call him that sunak is strong him now that sunak is a strong and capable prime minister showing exemplary leadership at this difficult time. >> well, see, i agree with his position about supporting the pm, but on the other hand , pm, but on the other hand, whilst i can approve of the person who's come in replace person who's come in to replace somebody , i can lament the somebody, i can lament the manner the departure of the manner of the departure of the person gone. this is person that's gone. and this is not time for me not the first time for me because i thought that because whilst i thought that alex an alex chalk was an extraordinarily qualified extraordinarily well qualified lord know , lord chancellor, you know, remarkably career at remarkably successful career at the understands that the the bar understands that the legal backwards . legal environment backwards. >> thought was terrible >> i thought it was terrible that raab got that dominic raab got defenestrated the way that he did. equally, think did. equally, whilst i think david cameron is extremely well qualified be foreign qualified to be foreign secretary, perhaps better than any person the pitch, any other person on the pitch, which why you've wound up which is why you've wound up with mp with somebody who's not an mp being appointed. i really don't like way suella like the way suella braverman has office. has been forced out of office. you think than one you can think more than one thing at once. yeah, it's interesting you that because interesting you say that because iain smith come iain duncan smith has come out today register his today to register his

disapproval david cameron disapproval of david cameron being given this position when he says he's too close to china and that he will be one of several people who hold that kind of perspective. this is the awkward that happens awkward thing that happens when people back to government and coming back to government and they go off and get themselves other work. sometimes lucrative work, sometimes work that touches of politics touches on the edge of politics and the way cameron and and in the way that cameron and many after politics many other people after politics have done. and the china research group includes a number of of parliament, loyal of members of parliament, loyal die hard conservatives who have been formally sanctioned by the chinese . so whilst it chinese government. so whilst it doesn't mean that cameron can't serve foreign secretary, it serve as foreign secretary, it certainly means think certainly means i think he's going to clarify very going to have to clarify very quickly on quickly what his position on china is. it's not just the china is. it's notjust the activity after office that's going to concern people. it's the during the the fact that during the so—called golden age the so—called golden age of the britain china relationship , britain and china relationship, david and george osborne david cameron and george osborne actively led effort to get actively led an effort to get much closer to china. and that feels very long time now. >> and also, alex, just on reaction from within the conservative party and party members to david cameron coming

back into government , members to david cameron coming back into government, a lot of people still remember that. he left very quickly , didn't he, left very quickly, didn't he, after the brexit vote, didn't go his way. can he be forgiven for that by the party membership? >> well, a yes. >> well, a yes. >> b, we're going to win. >> b, we're going to win. >> he can be forgiven. >> he can be forgiven. >> i absolutely do. i think people in my party will look back and remember that we had years government from a years of good government from a stable, leadership, stable, sensible leadership, of which head which david cameron was the head . i think furthermore, . i also think furthermore, i mean, great a brexiteer. mean, i'm great as a brexiteer. i'm had the i'm grateful we had the referendum and there many referendum and there aren't many other ministers who might other prime ministers who might have it to us, didn't have given it to us, didn't get the outcome he wanted, but got the outcome he wanted, but got the wanted. but the the outcome i wanted. but the third thing i think is that if we on down this we we carry on down this path, we will amounts will wind up with huge amounts of well qualified of very well qualified people thrown scrapheap of thrown onto the scrapheap of politics in their 50s who in other own other environments or in our own past have to serve past would have gone on to serve effectively for another generation? having older statesmen to be foreign statesmen around to be foreign secretary, around to be a safe pair of hands, on pair of hands, take on challenging briefs. that's a good thing in politics and people who've kind people who've got that kind of lifetime experience the lifetime of experience in the house indeed the

house of commons or indeed the lords they are. they are few lords now they are. they are few and between. utilising them and far between. utilising them is sensible. >> i mean, it's not the >> it's i mean, it's not the first time it's happened, has it? douglas—home did it for >> alec douglas—home did it for ted heath and then lord carrington did it for margaret thatcher and precedented. >> but i just wonder for other mps , like i don't know say tom mps, like i don't know say tom tugendhat, for instance seen as, you know, up and coming politician, a potential all potential foreign secretary. sure. today they might be thinking this is actually really unfair . they will be cheesed off unfair. they will be cheesed off by serving mps part of politics just as part of business or life. >> is someone saying there's nothing with you. i've >> is someone saying there's nottfound with you. i've >> is someone saying there's nottfound somebodyou. i'veand just found somebody better and that message that may not be a message somebody that's the somebody likes, but that's the way more formal way it is. the more formal difficulty is that cameron won't be for questions be able to appear for questions in commons . and when that in the commons. and when that happens, get the number happens, what you get the number two foreign office who is two in the foreign office who is an has kind of an inflated an mp has a kind of an inflated role take questions on role and they take questions on their department's behalf. and that's happened . yeah, that's what happened. yeah, that's what happened. yeah, that's under that's what happened under carrington. under douglas

hume. >> so won't have to debate >> so he won't have to debate the shadow foreign secretary then in the house of commons. >> they might. they might. they might debate outside but might debate outside it, but they won't be debating in parliament. and the parliament. and one of the things is interesting parliament. and one of the thingsthat, is interesting parliament. and one of the thingsthat, thinkteresting parliament. and one of the thingsthat, think that's1g parliament. and one of the thingsthat, think that's part about that, i think that's part of is getting in to the of what is getting in to the iain duncan smith and co group of people have formally of people who have been formally sanctioned by not only do sanctioned by china. not only do i concern it, i have a concern about it, i cannot bring it to the house and ask the despatch box. >> so how can david cameron, lord cameron, be held to account as foreign secretary? >> not face >> he will of course not face david lammy. >> answer questions >> he will answer questions in the just as if right the lords. and just as if right now you've got ministers in the lords or indeed members of the lords or indeed members of the lords who want to ask questions of in the commons. of ministers in the commons. there's relaying there's a process of relaying your within party your question within your party to side, is to be asked on your side, is this could this have been pre—planned? >> because we actually have seen quite a lot more of david cameron in the media doing media interviews that he hadn't been doing for years. if i'm right, if i remember correctly, i love it's been far more visible in the past few months.

>> emily i love a spot of conspiracy, not cock up, but i can you now if this was on can tell you now if this was on the agenda in any way, you wouldn't have had the beef. wouldn't have had the hs2 beef. you had james you wouldn't have had james cleverly saying last month, effectively, please don't move me the foreign secretary me from the foreign secretary role right this in any role right. if this was in any way the agenda, people would way on the agenda, people would not done it. and not have done it. and furthermore , the conservative furthermore, if the conservative party, all party, like almost all organisations, basically in organisations, is basically in capable of preventing leaks, if this if this was the if this this if this was in the if this was in the works, we would have heard it, only if only heard about it, if only if only we knew saw the line up we knew when we saw the line up at the cenotaph yesterday, the former prime ministers standing together, standing. only knew then what >> if only we knew then what we know now. >> yes , i love the idea of just >> yes, i love the idea of just 24 day. love the idea 24 hours a day. i love the idea rishi sunak is standing there in the two minute silence looks the two minute silence and looks looks thinks, looks to his side and thinks, hang on a minute, hang a minute. >> while i've got you >> quickly while i've got you suella your reaction suella braverman your reaction to sacked? suella braverman your reaction to i'm sacked? suella braverman your reaction to i'm sad sacked? suella braverman your reaction to i'm sad abouted? suella braverman your reaction to i'm sad about it. i thought >> i'm sad about it. i thought she speaking for millions she was speaking for millions of people in this country. >> think said >> i don't think she said anything that's wrong in the times. it was overblown. times. i think it was overblown. and labour and once you let the labour party scalp like this, party get a scalp like this, they don't stop. they on

they don't stop. they move on and try and get another one. i thought had expressed thought that she had expressed herself with a herself forcibly, but with a perfect to so. i also perfect right to do so. i also think that it's a difficult situation for a home secretary who directly control who doesn't directly control what police do on what the police do on operational matters and has in london's effective police and crime commissioner in sadiq khan, who is absolutely khan, someone who is absolutely opposed to her agenda. and when you've got someone that's implacable against you in the end, in the police and crime commissioner you've got commissioner role and you've got a who would a chief constable who would rather and do podcasts rather go off and do podcasts and interviews how wrong and interviews about how wrong you discussing you are rather than discussing things with you. what are you supposed doing supposed to do? i thought doing a was rather a timed interview was rather nicer than sacking him, so , you nicer than sacking him, so, you know, end i thought it know, in the end i thought it was completely reasonable know, in the end i thought it was fornpletely reasonable know, in the end i thought it was for the etely reasonable know, in the end i thought it was for the homezasonable know, in the end i thought it was for the home secretary to do. >> i have been away the past few days did reread her days and i did reread her article times article in the times and i didn't find shocking as didn't find it as shocking as some commentary seemed to some of the commentary seemed to suggest. there you go. i'm suggest. but there you go. i'm sure has different sure everyone has a different opinion on one. but coming opinion on that one. but coming up. very alex. up. thank you very much, alex. thank you. conservative commentator and used to work for david his chief of david cameron as his chief of staff. more reaction staff. coming up, more reaction to extraordinary morning of

government after he was appointed the new foreign secretary earlier in rishi sunaks cabinet reshuffle. a reshuffle triggered by the decision to sack suella braverman as home secretary. yes. >> so joining us now for some analysis is a former minister in david cameron's cabinet, no less, norman baker, a liberal democrat. one at that. norman, thank you very much indeed for joining us this afternoon. so your reaction to reach to the reshuffle so far . reshuffle so far. >> well, morning, emily. i mean , >> well, morning, emily. i mean, this is a good appointment. it's an inventive appointment, as you say. >> nobody saw it coming. but, you know, the world is a dangerous place at the moment. it's place. and it's a very uncertain place. and having someone on the world stage for britain some stage for britain who's got some credibility and knows people around the world is actually quite a good idea. so and he's also a very moderate person in conservative terms, as you will know. so the idea that we move more towards the centre is good for the country , but also for the country, but also frankly good for the conservative party >> there are individuals like

iain duncan smith, though, who are not so happy about this because of david cameron's links to china . to china. >> well , that's a very good >> well, that's a very good point, and that is something he will have to clear up because i think, alex, your your commentator on a moment ago also made i dealt with made the point i dealt with david cameron over china and felt we run in both tim felt we had a run in both tim lawton and i had a run in with david cameron over the subject of tibet. >> mean, he isn't >> so i mean, he isn't particularly sound china. particularly sound on china. i don't think will to be don't think that will have to be sorted he adopt sorted out. but he will adopt the government position. he's subject to collective responsibility same responsibility the same as anybody government, and anybody else in government, and therefore to tone therefore he'll have to tone down pro—china views . i down his pro—china views. i think the pro—china element of the coalition government was more in george more noticeable in george osborne, actually, than in david cameron. but i osborne, actually, than in david cameron. buti mean, osborne, actually, than in david cameron. but i mean, clearly that's matter that has to be that's a matter that has to be sorted out. >> he is he is a sensible person. david cameron by and large, he was quite large, i thought he was quite a reasonable prime minister >> calm. >> he's calm. >> he's calm. >> he's more of a chairman >> he's he's more of a chairman of the board the chief

executive. >> he has got 1 or 2 faults. he tends to be quite petulant on occasions. he also bears grudges. quite forgave grudges. he never quite forgave me him to the me for reporting him to the house for using his house authorities, for using his westminster office for fundraising efforts, and he had to apologise house for that. >> but hey, there we are. >> but hey, there we are. >> i think it's a better day for britain to have david cameron as prime minister than have prime minister than to have suella as suella braverman as home secretary. >> that norm an, >> well, on that point, norman, why sunak let why do you think rishi sunak let suella braverman go ? suella braverman go? >> i think he had to, to be honest with you, i think, you know, first of all, that she committed the offence of publishing an article which hadn't been properly cleared by number 10 inches. >> fact, as i understand it, they'd objected to passengers in that article and you can't have that article and you can't have that think that happening, i don't think under ministerial code you under the ministerial code you have get these matters have to get these matters cleared by the prime minister or by number but secondly, by number 10. but secondly, also, was clearly giving also, she was clearly giving instructions the police or instructions to the police or leading them in a way which was entirely inappropriate for the home to intervening entirely inappropriate for the hooperational to intervening entirely inappropriate for the hooperational mattersintervening entirely inappropriate for the hooperational matters ofervening entirely inappropriate for the hooperational matters of the ning in operational matters of the police. and that is a line you

should never cross. as home secretary speaking former should never cross. as home secret prevention |g former should never cross. as home secretprevention minister, rmer should never cross. as home secretprevention minister, that crime prevention minister, that would never have happened. not just with me, but with theresa may as secretary just may as home secretary we just don't do that. and suella braverman man crossed that braverman man has crossed that rubicon the price it. >> the prime minister's, though, taken quite a risk here, hasn't he, because, well , how much he, because, well, how much noise do you think she's going to be able to make from the backbench ? she's still got some backbench? she's still got some support . support. >> yes. well, there was some suggestion in the papers that she wanted to be sacked in order to lead the charge after the next election. and become leader at that point of a of a more right wing party. now whether that's actually based in reality orjust that's actually based in reality or just a kind that's actually based in reality orjust a kind of conspiracy or just a kind of conspiracy thing, i don't know. buti mean, thing, i don't know. but i mean, certainly there is an element of support for her and her backbenchers. there will be some rumblings as from from members of the conservative party about her losing her seat. but i think there'll be more there'll be a lot more conservative mps, frankly, who will the back of her. >> i do wonder which parts of suella braverman's article in

the times rishi sunak would disagree with and which parts conservative voters, or at least the majority of conservative voters, would disagree with. but that will be a question for the prime minister. >> there is a suggestion in that it was about what she said to do with homelessness . yes, that's with homelessness. yes, that's sowed the seeds of her sacking and not actually the article. >> and perhaps she wrote that article on the protests and on the policing issue . maybe she the policing issue. maybe she wrote that in order to deflect from that, that suggesting homelessness is a lifestyle choice. but there you go. suella braverman always controversial , braverman always controversial, but did she deserve the sack? let's take a look at the gb news inbox, shall we? thank you, norman baker, for your time. >> good to you. >> annie, good afternoon to you. you horrified to hear you say i'm horrified to hear that, braverman has been that, ms braverman has been removed speaking the truth . removed for speaking the truth. she good percentage she spoke for a good percentage of people. rishi she spoke for a good percentage of has people. rishi she spoke for a good percentage of has shoteople. rishi she spoke for a good percentage of has shot himself shi she spoke for a good percentage of has shot himself ini she spoke for a good percentage of has shot himself in the sunak has shot himself in the foot, bringing camera in to replace suella is ridiculous. well, he's not directly replacing her. he's now foreign secretary and james cleverly.

but i know what you mean . as he but i know what you mean. as he was the worst prime was one of the worst prime ministers have had. oh, ministers we have ever had. oh, philip says the minister philip says the prime minister and have once again and government have once again demonstrated are demonstrated that they are completely out with completely out of touch with ordinary people. >> to go. be >> they need to go. i'll be voting reform party in voting for the reform party in the this is the thing the future. this is the thing a lot of people will will be watching what rishi sunak has done here with suella braverman and coming to the conclusion that anyone who speaks out on issues that are controversial or takes a robust policy stance when it comes to issues like multiculturalism, culturalism and issues like the pro—palestine protests, they're out or or was she being defied ? out or or was she being defied? >> what did she defy him? and disobey him? and that's why he let her go, because you can't disobey your own prime minister. >> and did she want to be sacked? it could have been part of her huge game plan. >> also, interestingly, in is it's being claimed that it was lord william hague who brokered the deal for david cameron to come back as foreign secretary

oh, really? >> well, that's very interesting insight there . we'll have to insight there. we'll have to find out more about that from christopher hope. i'm sure our political editor. there's a live shot of number 10 we're looking at right now . we'll be looking at right now. we'll be looking at right now. we'll be looking at who goes in and who comes out and more briefs have and whether more briefs have been changed. we're still waiting on very many. we've had lots of people out, but not many people in. teresa coffey in there for an extraordinary two hours so far. so i'm not sure what's going on. there she is. unless she's by back door, unless she's by the back door, she's of course environment secretary. could left secretary. she could have left by doon secretary. she could have left by door, she that by the back door, but she that is very true. >> rishi sunak , we know, has >> rishi sunak, we know, has spent some time in parliament today. he went and spent about an hour there and then came back through the back entrance of number 10 to avoid the cameras . number 10 to avoid the cameras. so what was he doing in parliament? was he offering a job to more people, getting rid of more people? >> what i think is very interesting, besides big interesting, besides the big news that suella braverman is out and david cameron is in is how many ministers are have

resigned. so lost jesse norman lose ling. will quince losing . lose ling. will quince losing. neil o'brien losing . nick gibb neil o'brien losing. nick gibb all these people are out . so all these people are out. so who's coming to in replace them all and why are they out? >> is it because they think that the tories have lost the election and they're jumping ship now? well i think that might have a lot to do with it. >> not many people want to lose and take on the burden of being and take on the burden of being a minister if they think they're not going to be holding their seats in the future. perhaps, perhaps. >> let's go to chris hope. chris, what can you tell . us chris, what can you tell. us hello, chris. you are at downing street. tell us, have you got something important to announce ? something important to announce? no no news yet. >> we're still waiting. i think for someone new arrivals walking down. number 10 down downing street towards where i'm standing outside door standing outside the front door of no news yet, of downing street. no news yet, as there. i think as you say there. i think there's a reaction coming in now

to david appointment to david cameron's appointment as foreign secretary not everyone is happy on the right. certainly some one major right winger said to me , look, you winger said to me, look, you know, what did he get right? see you. even when he was the prime minister. don't forget, he was quite on getting close to quite keen on getting close to china then. course, he china back then. of course, he also supported the remain campaign his campaign on brexit, so his record chequered, according record is chequered, according to within the to his critics, within the party. another tory right winger has said to me quite interestingly, had interestingly, that they had shades here of bringing back peter mandelson as a peer at the top of the brown government in 2008 nine. so there's a feeling it's the end of days. it's like a desperation, an attempt to try and up support, right. and shore up support, right. and show that, know, bring back show that, you know, bring back the one last the greatest hits, one last push. how push. and that look how badly that for brown . so that ended for gordon brown. so not happy about this not everyone is happy about this but certainly are still the but certainly we are still the reverberations are still being felt here from the richter scale reshuffle . this this reshuffle, reshuffle. this this reshuffle, as i'm calling it here, here in downing street , when you've got downing street, when you've got suella braverman back on the backbenches. james cleverly in

as home secretary and you've got david cameron extraordinarily in his foreign secretary and 3 or 4 other junior movements . but as other junior movements. but as i say, look behind in the door say, look behind me in the door behind me, i saw tyrese coffey, say, look behind me in the door behforeign i saw tyrese coffey, say, look behind me in the door behforeign environment coffey, the foreign environment secretary, go in there two hours ago. her what plans ago. i asked her what her plans were government. no news and were for government. no news and no one really knows what's happened. i'm told that someone said is linked the said to me, it is linked to the reshuffle. so i'm afraid reshuffle. wasn't so i'm afraid to say that's kind of day. it is. watching gb to is. keep watching gb news to find out . find out. >> christopher, what are we expect getting in terms? well, the in terms of david cameron , the in terms of david cameron, he is controversial since he left his position after the brexit vote . i wonder whether brexit vote. i wonder whether conservative voters will be pleased to see him back after many saw him as abandoning the ship , many saw him as abandoning the ship, abandoning the country after calling for an extremely divisive vote and then leaving government . but when he lost government. but when he lost that vote, when it didn't go in his way , he is certainly a

his way, he is certainly a divisive, isn't he? >> i think yeah, certainly. there's no question he's divisive amongst some of the base. he was on the on the very sets behind me the day after that june 2016 eu sets behind me the day after thatjune 2016 eu referendum . thatjune 2016 eu referendum. and that was it. he had gone and for many it did feel and has felt since then like unfinished business with him. he's tried to do some very good work with alzheimer's, dementia and the charity sector. he made a bit of a horlicks trying to make money in in private sector, in the in the private sector, didn't this greensill didn't he, over this greensill affair. and that was deeply embarrassing for him when his whatsapp exposed whatsapp messages were exposed as to lobby parts of as he tried to lobby parts of government. now doing government. he's now back doing what which is what he's good at, which is pubuc what he's good at, which is public service. he's nearly 60, what he's good at, which is puiyears rvice. he's nearly 60, what he's good at, which is puiyears rvice. than nearly 60, what he's good at, which is puiyears rvice. than nea|prime 20 years older than the prime minister the man, the minister he's the old man, the grey but also the wise man grey man. but also the wise man in the room for rishi sunak. i was struck by the photographs at the last month. the party conference last month. everyone around everyone looks so young around rishi sunak and they do what the idea is bringing older idea is of bringing in older people like david cameron, but also younger people also younger, younger people will get promoted along the lines claire who is lines of claire coutinho, who is the new net zero secretary since september . i'm looking down to

september. i'm looking down to my left every so often because we are expecting an arrival. i want give an idea of who want to give you an idea of who it as soon as i can see, but want to give you an idea of who it far,s soon as i can see, but want to give you an idea of who it far, nobodyrs i can see, but want to give you an idea of who it far, nobody yet.�*an see, but so far, nobody yet. >> what about the future of the health secretary, barclay? health secretary, steve barclay? chris, you think he's at risk chris, do you think he's at risk today ? yeah people say he's at today? yeah people say he's at risk and i think he's he's a quite valuable , i think, to the quite valuable, i think, to the kind of group who want in the treasury a number, a number 11 downing street who are quite keen to cut costs in government . keen to cut costs in government. >> former chief >> he was a former chief secretary treasury, sat on secretary to treasury, sat on the public accounts committee is good at watching pennies. good at watching the pennies. and is and that's what the story is with currently with the with with the currently with the with the nhs trying to money and the nhs trying to save money and do less of course do more with less of course and deal with the issue there of the long running strike strike action. he's action. that's the problem. he's got there. think, he action. that's the problem. he's got lost). think, he action. that's the problem. he's got lost of think, he action. that's the problem. he's got lost of course,nk, he action. that's the problem. he's got lost of course, neil he action. that's the problem. he's got lost of course, neil o'brien has lost of course, neil o'brien from team. think another from his team. i think another health minister, junior, has gone so there gone as well. so there is a whole being created whole new team being created there. but yeah, and he's he's not someone who maybe sets the heather alight of being not someone who maybe sets the he amazingjht of being not someone who maybe sets the he amazingjht or of being not someone who maybe sets the he amazingjht or someone1g an amazing orator or someone with with a with who can really excite the grassroots and the

base. but i think he is someone who is quietly respected and but yes there was rumours he might be off as well tyrese coffee. be off as well as tyrese coffee. alister jack, scottish secretary. at secretary. he's leaving at the next now might be the next election now might be the time him what you're time for him to go. what you're seeing these letters coming seeing in these letters coming out like jesse out today from people like jesse norman quince and norman and will quince and others, these are mps, maybe who are the are quietly exiting the frontline. certainly i do know that will quince leaving that will quince is leaving parliament next election. not so sure about jesse norman. jesse norman wants tipped as being norman a wants tipped as being a future prime minister now not yes , lots of names leaving and yes, lots of names leaving and we need to hear now who's coming in to take up those positions, those lesser roles in cabinet. >> i wonder ? suella braverman. >> i wonder? suella braverman. now let's remind our viewers and listeners, we are looking at number 10. we are looking at downing street because we're expecting more arrivals to expecting some more arrivals to go in there and speak to the prime minister about their position as christopher in terms of suella braverman and she has been sacked and she says that it

has been a massive privilege to serve as home secretary. but she will have more to say. if i can interrupt you there he comes. >> if here comes the man we are discussing, steve barclay, the health secretary is now walking down downstream. i'm not going to see any pictures of him. i might if i excuse me, shout some questions at him, if you don't mind that. barclay what mind that. steve barclay what are government ? are your plans for government? steve barclay do you plan to carry on as health secretary? mr barclay any plans? what are your plans for government? any time for a promotion or are you out? sir i've got a new job, mr barclay . barclay. >> you had a good go , chris. >> you had a good go, chris. i would have been very shocked if he'd have replied to you. but you did. my best shot. >> he did say something, but perhaps it was. i think it was. good afternoon. good afternoon. perhaps >> no, he said. i'm afraid he said hello chris. which is a quite you do know him quite well having been around this place for years. so but he wouldn't

for 20 years. so but he wouldn't have questions. i have welcomed my questions. i was asking him whether he's out of a of the government or going for a promotion. now, promotion. we don't know. now, normally these these these sackings happen behind closed doors. they in parliament doors. they happen in parliament away the annoying view and away from the annoying view and questions people like me. but questions of people like me. but so it might mean he's being promoted. i just don't don't know because theresa coffey's gonein know because theresa coffey's gone in and she's still sitting in a having a mug in there on a sofa having a mug of i'm not sure what of cocoa. i'm not sure what she's doing. so the numbers are building of room and everyone building up of room and everyone knows how politics works. you walk through the front door of downing that's for downing street, that's for a reason. the reason is, reason. what the reason is, we're maybe to find out. we're maybe about to find out. >> not he's not walking >> so he's not he's not walking through the door to be told he's retaining his job. we can read into this that something's changing for him. well yeah , changing for him. well yeah, that's that is the convention is you go through the door for a promotion . promotion. >> you go through the back door for a sacking or you're sacked in private. i don't know if it turns out that theresa coffey and steve bartlett have been sacked . that is for me very sacked. that is for me very

interesting as a watcher of this place because it shows to me that rishi sunak is keen to show his authority by publicly firing people rather than doing it behind closed doors when it's all very friendly and cosy and pleasant. sacking all very friendly and cosy and pleasarin sacking all very friendly and cosy and pleasarin public, sacking all very friendly and cosy and pleasarin public, ifsacking all very friendly and cosy and pleasarin public, if that'sg people in public, if that's what's happening, know what's happening, we don't know yet what's happening, yet if that's what's happening, then of then that shows a degree of steel that maybe haven't seen steel that maybe we haven't seen so in rishi sunak hmm. so far in rishi sunak hmm. >> interesting. could it be with neil o'brien standing down that perhaps rishi sunak wants to ask who he wants to be in his ministerial team? or is that a bit of a stretch ? it could be, bit of a stretch? it could be, but often cabinet ministers and ministers are appointed directly by the prime minister and they have say over who the have no real say over who the number is. have no real say over who the nurcertainly is. have no real say over who the nurcertainly in the case of >> certainly in the case of suella braverman at the home in the office, robert jenrick the home office, robert jenrick was the job as immigration was given the job as immigration minister braverman, minister below suella braverman, but really was almost to but that really was almost to keep eye on the antics of keep an eye on the antics of braverman as a as a standard bearer the tory, right. bearer of the tory, right. someone stood against mr someone who stood against mr sunak minister sunak to be prime minister just over year ago. so often it's over a year ago. so often it's a way of just keeping an eye on

somebody as much as much as giving them leg up or finding giving them a leg up or finding out who they may want take out who they may want to take that does show, though, that role. it does show, though, if he is moving that if he is moving health, that there's focus we there's a new focus on that. we have heard nothing, have we, about care, about the big about social care, about the big issue politics over past issue of politics over the past decade half, to what do decade and a half, to what do about care. answer yet about social care. no answer yet . maybe we'll get . it may be maybe we'll get a new person in there. let's say michael gove, someone different, someone , someone who someone interesting, someone who could shake it up. i mean, i think, you know, for me, though, this reshuffle shows that this this reshuffle shows that again, i'm increasingly thinking the pm is going go long next the pm is going to go long next yean the pm is going to go long next year, the election late year, having the election late next year, not earlier, because he's got more to do. and think he's got more to do. and i think that's seeing. that's what we're seeing. >> chris, with >> do you think, chris, with this today, it will this reshuffle today, it will have desired effect of have the desired effect of improving the tories in the polls ? is it going to narrow the polls? is it going to narrow the gap a little bit with labour? >> i think correctly, the electorate will largely shrug their shoulders outside of westminster when they see this, but the hope is that the

government, over time can create a new a new idea, a new kind of image to convince voters they deserve their support. for me, the tory party is like a snake. it sheds its skin and its appearance once every 3 or 4 years and becomes a new party almost. and that's what we're seeing happen in real time here in downing street. i think the sunak prime minister wants sunak, the prime minister wants to new young team to create a new young team around him. we'll see more of that later. the old that later. he's got the old grey foreign grey beard in as foreign secretary. the world's a very increasingly scary and alarming place the foreign foreign place on the foreign foreign affairs policy brief. and that's why mr mr cameron's been given that job. but i think he wants to create a kind of feeling of a new team as he tries to win an unprecedented term unprecedented fifth term as a tory government. it's been tory government. it's never been done before some would done before and some would say it done given the it can't be done again given the state polls. but they state of the polls. but they want and make that work. want to try and make that work. >> and christopher was was this reshuffle always expected to be a big one or was it triggered by the home secretary, suella braverman, and her sacking? it's been it's been forecast since

the end of july. >> that was the first time i heard in my hand that was that was pencilled in by the whips. the day after that triple by election day, back then. and then for early then it was forecast for early september. but normally with this, normally these things are forecast kind of forecast on on on the kind of fallow periods during forgive me some shouting down the street there these fallow periods when mps are away and when they got a chance to read into their briefs, not when nothing is happening right now. and believe me, big week in me, it's a very big week in politics. figures me, it's a very big week in poliwednesday, figures me, it's a very big week in poliwednesday, gotures me, it's a very big week in poliwednesday, got this out wednesday, we've got this decision supreme court on out wednesday, we've got this dec rwanda supreme court on out wednesday, we've got this dec rwanda policypreme court on out wednesday, we've got this dec rwanda policy on me court on out wednesday, we've got this dec rwanda policy on wednesday, the rwanda policy on wednesday, next , net immigration next week, net immigration figures, the day after the autumn statement. and normally figures, the day after the aldoesn'tzatement. and normally figures, the day after the aldoesn't happent. and normally figures, the day after the aldoesn't happen allnd normally figures, the day after the aldoesn't happen all at normally figures, the day after the aldoesn't happen all at thenally it doesn't happen all at the same but i think had we same time. but i think we had we had known there would reset had known there would be a reset , a reshuffle. reshuffle is , , a reshuffle. a reshuffle is, as i'm calling it, to try and get this government ready get this this government ready to fight, fight the next election and take keir election and take on keir starmer. so just just having starmer. so so just just having a little bit of an overview. >> christopher, we've just seen the health secretary, steve barclay , walking into downing barclay, walking into downing street . we know teresa coffey

street. we know teresa coffey went in earlier, but we haven't heard anything since. who else might we see? penny mordaunt and tom tugendhat perhaps . tom tugendhat perhaps. >> penny mordaunt is possible now. she is not very trusted by 10 downing street because of the way she nearly took on rishi sunakin way she nearly took on rishi sunak in that second voting in the leadership election . the the leadership election. the tory party last october and then backed out when she couldn't quite get over the 100 mark, which is the threshold set by graham brady, the head of the 22 committee. she's not entirely trusted, be trusted, so she won't be formally given role like that formally given a role like that and is doing so. i gather. and she is doing so. i gather. i think is a an effective think she is a an effective leader the but i think leader of the house. but i think she somebody who could she might be somebody who could be looked looking fonnard . who be looked looking fonnard. who else? it's hard to think who else? it's hard to think who else may get a leg up. grant shapps newly new inner defence secretary. he surely can't be going anywhere in that role is one of a pr job to try and make sure that britain's downside with the in ukraine, with the war in ukraine, somebody communicate somebody who can communicate well and effectively. i think well and effectively. so i think he'll is. he'll be staying where he is. but yes , it might go wider.

but yes, it might go wider. i mean, what don't know a lot mean, what we don't know a lot aboutis mean, what we don't know a lot about is who is close to rishi sunak, mel stride had been tipped before as being a possible but think possible chancellor, but i think the jeremy hunt, is the chancellor, jeremy hunt, is staying where he is. he's got the week. staying where he is. he's got th he week. staying where he is. he's got th he anywhere week. staying where he is. he's got th he anywhere , week. staying where he is. he's got th he anywhere , it'll week. staying where he is. he's got th he anywhere , it'll be eek. if he goes anywhere, it'll be after march. he's been made very clear wants to stay clear that he wants to stay where and won't want where he is and won't won't want to so i think he is to be moved. so i think he is staying where he is. but i think and the lower ranks, though, the chancellor, sunak chancellor, i think for mr sunak to reset his government and bnngin to reset his government and bring in new blood, i should say, though, that these reshuffles always pretty bad reshuffles are always pretty bad news for people get news for the people who get fired. to put fired. and they do tend to put noses of joint about as many noses out of joint about as many people, in fact, more people than was with a than are appointed. i was with a senior last to senior adviser last week to rishi sunak, and he was saying honestly , what's the point of honestly, what's the point of these reshuffles? they're exhausting headache. exhausting and are a headache. can fact that we've can i just the fact that we've got theresa got. >> chris, i want to >> sorry, chris, i only want to jump >> sorry, chris, i only want to jump in because rachel mcclean has now tweeted or xt, as i call it , she's been says she's been it, she's been says she's been asked to step down from her role

asked to step down from her role as housing minister. disappointed, was looking fonnard to introduce the renters reform bill to committee tomorrow . so it has been tomorrow. so it has been a privilege to hold the position and my successor well . so and i wish my successor well. so another gone. housing another one gone. housing minister rachel mclean. >> she's only in the job >> she's only been in the job a few hasn't she, chris? few months, hasn't she, chris? yes she had. >> and i'm my i'm on the phone to you. my phone , my whatsapps to you. my phone, my whatsapps are buzzing the quick look down. i think there's some news here from therese coffey. let me if i can find it here on my phone. forgive me . we'll just we'll forgive me. we'll just we'll just we'll just repeat that to your viewers and listeners that housing minister rachel mclean has been asked to step down from her role. >> she has confirmed that in the past few minutes on twitter or as we now call it, anna. well that's the second round starting of rishi sunak reshuffle, it seems, and it might be that we're hearing something about therese coffey. chris yeah , therese coffey. chris yeah, theresa coffey has resigned as, as environment secretary .

as environment secretary. >> wow. she hasn't yet emerged in the building behind me. she may have gone up by a by a back way. i find interesting , just way. i find it interesting, just interesting the sackings interesting that the sackings are happening in person in full view of the world's cameras that shows an attempt by mr shows to me an attempt by mr sunak to show his authority . sunak to show his authority. this is his government. he's in charge now. shortly after david cameron was made foreign secretary, sunak did go secretary, mr sunak did go across to parliament and did hold a meeting for about an houn hold a meeting for about an hour. i understand from sources behind me in downing street. he may have done some sackings then, but to make teresa coffey walk up in front of the cameras, that shows a real break from the past. and it shows we're going that shows a real break from the pa have1d it shows we're going that shows a real break from the pa have a it shows we're going that shows a real break from the pa have a newiows we're going that shows a real break from the pa have a new environment ing to have a new environment secretary. them secretary. so let's count them up. secretary , home up. environment secretary, home secretary, secretary . secretary, foreign secretary. big moves happening at the top of right now. of government right now. >> therese coffey says, i consider it is now the right time back from time to step back from government . and what that government. and what does that mean . in mean. in >> well , that might mean that >> well, that might mean that she feels she's done a long time as as environment secretary or

it's time for her to move on. she, of course, was a close ally of liz truss, ran a liz truss campaign as part of the kind of the norfolk mafia of mps. that's not mafia in a good way. it means means people close to get on well and fight together and have each other's back. that is really. teresa coffey moving on and we do expect someone , and we do expect someone, probably a younger minister to take that role, a role which the government is been on the back foot for so long over sewage. of course, back 15 years now course, going back 15 years now the is trying to keep the government is trying to keep bills sewage not and bills down on sewage and not and not that means there have not and that means there have been investment in been very little investment in the that the infrastructure that has caused sewage leaks, caused lots of sewage leaks, which been appalling for which have been appalling for many people, and that has cut through during the pandemic and really so i think really upset people. so i think that a change, that shows to me a change, a change terms of policy there. change in terms of policy there. and who might take the and someone who might take the fight to labour and the lib dems on the environment . so certainly on the environment. so certainly in the south west, i think a new environment secretary be environment secretary will be broadly . broadly welcomed. >> can see you >> christopher, i can see you looking to your left every now and again. and of course down at

your any update, any, and again. and of course down at you|eyes any update, any, and again. and of course down at you|eyes anyoneipdate, any, and again. and of course down at you|eyes anyone cominginy, any eyes on anyone coming through the gate . through the gate. >> no. a new car has gone just gone through the moving bollards. nothing yet. so the first sight of anyone new, i'll let you know. but i do think we are now seeing we are now seeing this reset out of this this is the reset out of this government pre—election . we can government pre—election. we can now say that fully. we've got these big moves happening environment, home, home affairs, foreign, foreign affairs. this means this is a government which is being reset here in westminster and also in public. mr sunak is doing the firings in public, forcing them to do almost a perp walk up downing street . right behind almost a perp walk up downing street. right behind me, almost a perp walk up downing street . right behind me, we street. right now behind me, we have barclay . now know have steve barclay. now we know that coffey was fired. that teresa coffey was fired. it might be that we receive might well be that we receive and here is richard holden coming towards us to quickly see him, hold richard he got him, to hold him. richard he got promotion in new environment secretary mr hogan , new health secretary mr hogan, new health secretary. mr holden that's richard holden there, the mp for north west durham. now he's widely tipped for a role

possibly in the cabinet level . possibly in the cabinet level. he's elected in 2019 as mp for north west durham in the red wall. he would be a very interesting environment secretary. now the of course the resignation of teresa coffey just dropping in on my phone on air right now. this is a choreograph. the fact he walked up like that shortly after. teresa coffey lost her job could mean he's a new environment secretary. let's wait and see. but richard holden, absolutely wasn't meant to win that seat in north—west durham, did it against the grain was part of this of the red wall. and that might show many people, people in in north, in the in the in in the north, in the in the red wall that rishi sunak cares for there was for them because there was a feeling certainly back in september when wallace left september when ben wallace left government that basically mps from southern areas of the country were promoted and no one from the red wall. there's no more, there's no mp more, more in touch, the red wall than richard holden . richard holden. >> zooming out a bit >> christopher zooming out a bit and having a look at this reshuffle . far, from we reshuffle. so far, from what we know about who's out and who's

in, are we seeing a political change in government? are we seeing an ousting of those on the right of the party? can we draw any conclusions so far besides , of course, suella besides, of course, suella braverman being out . the other braverman being out. the other braverman being out. the other braverman who is on the right? >> i mean, steve barclay was a brexit year. his dad was a trade unionist . brexit year. his dad was a trade unionist. he's somebody brexit year. his dad was a trade unionist . he's somebody who was unionist. he's somebody who was well known, who supports brexit, but who, who is from the north—west of england and is, you authentically , i you know, authentically, i think, cutter of the think, a tax cutter of the right. if he goes that that is a further, further issue. he's not really a standard bearer of the right, though. he's more is more moderate, more on centre moderate, more on the centre ground suella braverman moderate, more on the centre gr01big suella braverman moderate, more on the centre gr01big issue. lla braverman moderate, more on the centre gr01big issue. and raverman moderate, more on the centre gr01big issue. and howman moderate, more on the centre gr01big issue. and how big] moderate, more on the centre gr01big issue. and how big is the big issue. and how big is his constituency? well there's a group new group called the new conservatives, of conservatives, around 60 of them, , miriam them, danny kruger, miriam cates, the mps cates, these are the mps in charge they are trying charge of that. they are trying to the tory party and to reshape the tory party and i think that the right will want to see some appointments the to see some appointments at the top recognise top of government who recognise their views. so far we've seen nobody. james cleverly, he's not

really seen as someone on the right. he's seen as a good, very good, competent minister, but not someone on the right in the same way that say, priti patel or latterly suella suella braverman was. so we'll and braverman was. so we'll wait and see that. buti braverman was. so we'll wait and see that. but i think richard see on that. but i think richard holden going in is i'm holden going in is what i'm trying to say to you. someone who a of younger age group who of a of a younger age group being to being brought in, probably to the cabinet level, maybe as environment try environment secretary, to try and the to labour. so and take the fight to labour. so you've this combination of you've got this combination of older that's david cameron and younger holden and of younger richard holden and of course claire coutinho and of course claire coutinho and of course prime minister in the late 30s, early 40s. you've late 30s, early 40s. so you've got balance there trying got this balance there trying to demonstrate that, you know, here's some security here. suddenly with the appointment of david cameron, the tories are already me my already saying to me on my whatsapp, compare that with david lammy. will you trust david lammy. who will you trust with very uncertain world? with in a very uncertain world? you charge you want david cameron in charge or want david lammy or do you want david lammy those are the choices that are these are the choices that are these are the choices that are being created and written and in and made in real time today in westminster for voters next year i >> chris, do you think this is the sort of cabinet that rishi

sunak wanted to shape but wasn't able to one year ago because he was so dependent on the support of, say , suella bravermans and of, say, suella bravermans and her camp . her camp. >> there was that also. i think there was a feeling that that we had enough politics in that mad time come september, october time come september, october time when the when the governments collapsed, the new one was created. i think there was had been was a feeling there had been enough politics. let's calm it down. let's everyone down. let's keep everyone in place for a year while the markets the bond markets recover. the bond markets recover. the bond markets re—engage with the uk and find their find their their for this for this country going fonnard as a kind of entity . i fonnard as a kind of entity. i think that's what that's what was happening there. they couldn't really risk to move too many people and only really ben wallace saying was out back wallace saying he was out back in september forced 2 or 3 people to shuffle around government, of course, grant government, of course, and grant shapps became defence shapps became became defence secretary. apart from that, shapps became became defence sewasary. apart from that, shapps became became defence sewas it'. apart from that, shapps became became defence sewas it was apart from that, shapps became became defence sewas it was really. from that, shapps became became defence sewas it was really. f|case hat, shapps became became defence sewas it was really. f|case of,, it was it was really a case of, of wait and see for a big shake up. and this is the opportunity

for british sunak this is the team he is setting up here to fight the next election to take on keir starmer , try and bring on keir starmer, try and bring down that labour lead in the polls currently polls because currently it is miles away, 20, 25, 20 points ahead. it's got worse , not ahead. oh, it's got worse, not better since the point i think it they were 20 points it was. they were 20 points behind at height of that behind at the height of that chaos liz truss resigned. chaos after liz truss resigned. 20 lead. well, so far mr 20 point lead. well, so far mr sunak has done nothing to affect that. sunak has done nothing to affect that . he's sunak has done nothing to affect that. he's got hope sunak has done nothing to affect that . he's got hope these that. he's got to hope these changes change, that . changes will change, that. >> christopher, just to update our listeners, if our viewers and listeners, if they're arriving with they're just arriving with us now , the very latest is teresa now, the very latest is teresa coffey quits as environment secretary. but we started off the day with suella braverman being sacked. it is understood that she was either sacked for her times article or for her comments about homelessness. we don't know exactly what the truth is there. then we had james cleverly appointed as home secretary to replace her and then david cameron . now lord then david cameron. now lord cameron appointed as foreign secretary to replace james cleverly big, big changes in

government and we have not long ago in the last few minutes seen the health secretary steve barclay, go through that door , barclay, go through that door, the most famous door in the country. >> number 10 and not long after him, therese coffey , environment him, therese coffey, environment secretary, announced she'd resigned and richard holden , resigned and richard holden, who's the mp for north west durham, a significant backer of rishi sunak in the conservative leadership contest contest last yean he leadership contest contest last year. he has gone into number 10 in the last few minutes, so there's still plenty more announcements to come . chris announcements to come. chris yeah, there are . yeah, there are. >> i'm reading on my phone here a letter from the prime minister, rishi sunak, to therese coffey, thanking her for her hard work. and during the pandemic, leader, dwp, pandemic, your leader, the dwp, ensure the welfare system kept working some other supportive remarks here her record on remarks here about her record on nature and the environment. i think that's the first exchange of letters we've got the number 10 letter writers and the signature busy signature will be very busy today because more letters signature will be very busy tonbe because more letters signature will be very busy tonbe signedse more letters signature will be very busy

tonbe signed and more letters signature will be very busy tonbe signed and written letters signature will be very busy tonbe signed and written anders to be signed and written and sent ministers, sent out to various ministers, but it does show but ministers. but it does show to me that i think teresa coffey is leaving some terms . is leaving on some good terms. there's of letters there's an exchange of letters is normal way. we is all done in a normal way. we haven't apart from haven't yet seen any apart from some , but some tweeting, maybe, but nothing yet from the suella braverman. think what she does braverman. i think what she does next interesting. next is so interesting. the right removed from right is being removed from government right now. will they be in and it will be brought back in and it will be brought back in and it will be new faces, new names, be with new faces, new names, not yet. will she give a speech in the house of commons? will she concerns she allow out her concerns that might later this week, might happen later this week, early next week , after that early next week, after that rwanda decision, before the big figures next week on immigration, then i think we are about the right is a bruise entity in the tory party right now. can mr sunak apply some balm and it wasn't too long ago that suella braverman as home secretary was on the international stage talking about multiculturalism having failed, talking about the risks of illegal immigration and all of illegal immigration and all of these topics. >> she's now been sacked. we now have james cleverly as home

secretary jeremy hunt. he's safe i >> yeah. jeremy hunt we think is safe now. he for me, he's called the accidental chancellor he was given that job as chancellor by liz truss when he's on the way back from brussels on a family houday. back from brussels on a family holiday . then he got that role holiday. then he got that role and then was kept in place by rishi sunak , if only to reassure rishi sunak, if only to reassure the markets that they were going to slowly unwind that disastrous mini—budget by by kwasi kwarteng in september last year. and that's why he was kept in post by rishi sunak. he we're not getting any kind of idea of a division between numbers ten and 11 downing street behind me are on the same page and it's a big few weeks here jeremy hunt. few weeks here for jeremy hunt. next week it's the autumn statement when set out statement when will set out government as government spending plans as rumours cuts in inheritance rumours of cuts in inheritance tax . but rumours of cuts in inheritance tax. but nothing rumours of cuts in inheritance tax . but nothing too tax. but nothing too inflationary is the message from number 11 downing street. so we'll wait see where that we'll wait and see where that plays out. and year budget plays out. and next year budget tax the spring, we're tax cuts in the spring, we're expecting income tax to come

down. that's my bet anyway. so i think jeremy hunt made very clear in an interview with, of all classic fm last all places, classic fm last weekend that he doesn't want to leave being chancellor. he's enjoying it. his family and children live above 11 downing street, so they're having the time their there. so he time of their lives there. so he wants where he is. so wants to stay where he is. so if he sacked. and often he goes, he's sacked. and often it's hard and difficult, it's very hard and difficult, i think, for prime minister to fire that often think, for prime minister to fire end that often think, for prime minister to fire end very that often think, for prime minister to fire end very wellhat often think, for prime minister to fire end very well when ten think, for prime minister to fire end very well when the doesn't end very well when the when chancellor stops seeing when the chancellor stops seeing to eye eye ends very quickly after that. so but question after that. so but the question of is do i want of jeremy hunts got is do i want to stay on and then fight the election within the next 14 or 15 months and then for another three after that or not? three years after that or not? we'll wait and see. >> okay, chris, stay there. keep your eyes peeled and we are coming back to you very , very coming back to you very, very shortly. lots more announcements to come. we'll let you know about steve barclay, who we've seen very recently going into number 10 and also richard holden , who has entered downing holden, who has entered downing street . it is, though, now street. it is, though, now coming up to exactly 1:00. so

smiling away when i was asking her what her plans were for the government. could this reshuffle reboot this this rather government is failing somewhat in the polls to spark imagination amongst the electorate . so. so as things electorate. so. so as things stand, the state of play. 1:00 we've got richard holden , who's we've got richard holden, who's a junior transport minister. we've got vicky atkins, who's a junior treasury minister. both walked through the front door in 10 downing street. now this place is like a sieve. there's all sorts of ways into it. there's not just the front door. you can go in through the cabinet office, through number nine street, the back nine downing street, the back door the why you go door. the reason why you go through front door is through the front door is because you want to be seen. so that's happening that's what's happening here. so these assume, these two people, we assume, are being cabinet. being promoted to the cabinet. we yet. wait we don't know yet. we'll wait and watching. gb news. and see. keep watching. gb news. that's at moment. >> one theory, chris, and i know you obviously can't say definitively, but i just want your that steve your thoughts is that steve barclay could be moved to the role of environment secretary . role of environment secretary. >> well, that's worth

speculating on because i should say he's in there as well. so they're having a chat and they might be drawing lots or drawing short straws while they work out what to next. steve what to do next. yeah, steve barclay there . he was some barclay is in there. he was some saw as being for the chop. i think he is rather trusted by by rishi sunak the way he's able to get my shoulder here. the door closed . i think he is seen as closed. i think he is seen as a rather trusted by rishi sunak. there's no problem there with him . maybe he doesn't set the him. maybe he doesn't set the world alight. isn't inspiring as an but he certainly an individual, but he certainly he certainly believes in brexit and believes in the in keeping a lid on costs and being firm with pubuc lid on costs and being firm with public sector unions in his in his situation, trying to reform the nhs. so yeah , i mean that's the nhs. so yeah, i mean that's a good idea. i think. i wonder whether though the environment secretary secretary job is one that appeals is one of going for the young vote next year. the lib dems are challenging in areas where the environment is a big issue the south—west and big issue in the south—west and if had a younger, more if you had a younger, more youthful environment secretary who that might be a good look

for the tory party, the environment is one. the environment is one. the environment is one of the key areas. i think of all areas areas. i think of all the areas in government where the in all of government where the young might come and in all of government where the younfor might come and in all of government where the younfor you. might come and in all of government where the younfor you. ifnight come and in all of government where the younfor you. if yout come and in all of government where the younfor you. if yout coroffer and vote for you. if you can offer a good message, just want your thoughts as well nadine thoughts as well on nadine dorries , not on nadine dorries. dorries, not on nadine dorries. >> full stop, but but something she , which is and we know she said, which is and we know that she's not a fan of rishi sunak, but she says that david cameron's appointment as foreign secretary now opens the door for the rerun of george osborne or the rerun of george osborne or the former chancellor she claims he will want to say so. >> and she said, you heard it here first. >> nothing happens by accident for these guys . it is all long for these guys. it is all long planned . planned. >> okay. now there's a view that nadine dorries might hold is that people like david cameron and george osborne have been in control all the time and that george osborne of course, is the former chancellor who also quit politics in 2017. i think from

memory , after losing that, the memory, after losing that, the referendum in 2016, he is certainly someone who is talking to government behind the scenes. we saw, didn't we, in those whatsapp disclosures by the telegraph of matt hancock's whatsapps when hancock was talking to his old boss, george osborne, and osborne was was behaving those kind of , you behaving as those kind of, you know, i can't really help you here, to you here, matt, and it's up to you now. there's no question now. and so there's no question that people like matt that they people like matt hancock we're talking behind hancock do. we're talking behind the scenes to george osborne. hancock do. we're talking behind the :i:enes to george osborne. hancock do. we're talking behind the :i:enes tyouorge osborne. hancock do. we're talking behind the :i:enes tyou know)sborne. hancock do. we're talking behind the :i:enes tyou know ,;borne. hancock do. we're talking behind the :i:enes tyou know ,;borrcan and i think, you know, you can say osborne has links say that mr osborne has links into treasury. former into the treasury. former chancellors relied on chancellors are always relied on by chancellors . yeah, by current chancellors. yeah, i would. i know what nadine dorries has got a book to sell. don't forget there's a book launch coming up for her. i mean, she wants to try and get, get, get people talking about her ideas. i'm entirely sure her ideas. i'm not entirely sure though that conspiracy is though that the conspiracy is entirely cracked entirely all that it's cracked up to be. >> chris paymaster general jeremy quin has confirmed that he has quit . he has quit. >> okay. that's very interesting. so that's the

second member of the treasury. so so far we have victoria atkins, who's a financial secretary in behind me. that's the general jeremy the paymaster general jeremy quin. the second person quin. that's the second person from treasury. now who is from the treasury. now who is who something's happening who is something's happening to them. it looks like we are them. so it looks like we are going to see jeremy hunt's team at reshuffled. at treasury being reshuffled. not what he'll think about not sure what he'll think about that. might there might be might might him , of course, might be weaken him, of course, unless say over unless he may have a say over that. so, yes, it does show the scale of this of reshuffle scale of this of this reshuffle is nowhere near played out. he was who was who was someone who was who was who was someone who was who was who was to keep just to my left was keen to keep just to my left there. no one coming down the street. no. but he was he was someone who was a key ally to jeremy, to jeremy hunt . and jeremy, to jeremy hunt. and ahead of next week's autumn . ahead of next week's autumn. autumn statement. so that'll be a difficult for jeremy autumn statement. so that'll be a difficult forjeremy hunt. he's reshaping his team so near to such a big, big fiscal event. >> very much , >> thank you very much, christopher. we'll back to christopher. we'll come back to you please keep you very shortly. please keep your eyes peeled for us. if you see other big names coming see any other big names coming into number 10, because with us, we have liam halligan , who is,

we have liam halligan, who is, of course, our economics and business editor. now, downing street has confirmed that jeremy hunt safe . thoughts? hunt is safe. thoughts? >> i think it would be completely reckless to change your chancellor two weeks ahead of a really big statement. >> this isn't just any old autumn statement on the 22nd. >> that's next wednesday. this is probably the most important fiscal statement before, possibly before the next election. >> the spring budget . >> the spring budget. >> the spring budget. >> it a lot of people think that will be important, but this will really set the tone unless the tories start capturing the imagination of the electorate . imagination of the electorate. and quite frankly, i don't think moving around sort of nondescript is going nondescript ministers is going to do that. you know, people people care a lot less about the identity of people they've hardly than what it hardly heard of than what it means for them and their families. something means for them and their families. this something means for them and their families. this autumnnething means for them and their families. this autumn statement happens in this autumn statement that really convinces the great kind of centre ground , middle kind of centre ground, middle third of the british electorate , third of the british electorate, the non—tribal swing voters , the non—tribal swing voters, those families, they're just about managing classes, whatever. basil and man

worcester, woman, whatever mon oh man. we've called them all different kinds of things over the years. >> had a woman mondeo can >> had a woman mondeo man can you mondeo ? you still get a mondeo? >> these are the sort >> but these, these are the sort of these are different of, these are different soubriquets for the swing voters of, these are different soubbasicallywr the swing voters of, these are different soubbasically decide ning voters of, these are different soubbasically decide who voters of, these are different soubbasically decide who runss who basically decide who runs this country. and a lot of them are wondering about the economy now , there's a lot of talk in now, there's a lot of talk in the last 24 hours that maybe jeremy hunt does have some room for tax cuts by next wednesday. if those tax cuts come, i don't think they're going to be on income. i don't think he's going to unfreeze those income tax thresholds that drag more and more of us into tax bands. more and more of us into the higher rate of tax. i think if he does do tax cuts, i think it will be for businesses. think there'll for businesses. i think there'll be something called full expensing businesses are expensing whereby businesses are allowed offset their allowed to offset their investment against their tax bill. now that's fine if you're a business and you've got a big business and you've got cash know , all cash to spend, but you know, all the small and medium sized enterprises , those mom and pop enterprises, those mom and pop businesses who pull their

communities together, who employ two thirds of the workforce force, who generate half of all gdp , they haven't got loads of gdp, they haven't got loads of money floating around that they can use to invest to then benefit from this tax offset, this full expensing . people want this full expensing. people want stuff they can touch and feel and they can understand. the young families want help with their mortgages after 14 interest rate rises , people want interest rate rises, people want to spend , you know, have less of to spend, you know, have less of their money taken away. >> so this he must know he's got to come out with some nuggets in this statement. this autumn statement. >> huge pressure on >> and there's huge pressure on him. i think chris is him. and i think chris is exactly he's the exactly right. he's the chancellor who's never the most kind of machiavellian politician. he's more of a politician. he's much more of a technocrat . but it strikes me technocrat. but it strikes me he's clearly having his team pred he's clearly having his team ripped out from underneath him. victoria atkins, his financial secretary. >> i'm sorry to interrupt you, but we've got to go back to number 10 as lord trott has arrived , i believe. christopher, arrived, i believe. christopher, are you there? laura trott that's right. >> laura trott arrived in number 10. again, this is what i'm

seeing. and what i've been forecasting for some weeks now on news a whole new cadre of on gb news a whole new cadre of younger 2019 intake mps is being promoted here to senior roles in the government. laura trott just walked in behind me. richard holden, of course, is already in there . victoria atkins has gone there. victoria atkins has gone in. she's a financial secretary to the treasury. steve barclay not sure what he's doing. he may be moving sideways or out of the government, but we are seeing here younger mps 29 in 2019 here with younger mps 29 in 2019 intake and mps being given big jobs in government . that's intake and mps being given big jobs in government. that's part of the attempt by mr sunak to reinvent his government as a youngen reinvent his government as a younger, proactive , fonnard younger, proactive, fonnard facing long term future planning administration and trying to almost prevent the labour party as being a bit tired in comparison. i go back to i always say about tory party, it reinvents itself every 3 or 4 years like a snake sheds its skin. that's what's happening right now. they're facing a they're facing a big challenge, possible turmoil , challenge here possible turmoil, challenge here

for the labour party. they're trying to election with trying to win the election with new people . above all, sits new people. above all, that sits david cameron former former new people. above all, that sits david minister former former new people. above all, that sits david minister nearly er former new people. above all, that sits david minister nearly 60, rmer prime minister nearly 60, someone with a with a bit more miles left in the tank in terms of public service. so you've got this old and young pitcher here being presented here by rishi sunak. they're through sunak. they're walking through the they're the front door because they're going theresa going to be promoted. theresa coffey , of course, was sacked coffey, of course, was sacked for when did the same thing, for when she did the same thing, but think that was on the on but i think that was on the on her own terms. but i wonder what was to. steve barclay but was having to. steve barclay but we seeing these mps we are seeing these younger mps walking door. walking through the front door. that's here by rishi that's an attempt here by rishi sunak down, sunak to bring down, bring people into government of his own his friends , his own age, his friends, his allies. forget, it allies. but don't forget, it will create enemies on the backbenches and no one no one from the right has in. so from the right has gone in. so far. that's a worry. that's a worry term the prime worry long term for the prime minister >> we're calling a reshuffle , >> we're calling it a reshuffle, chris. it's starting to look like overhaul . well like a massive overhaul. well it's one which the pm has a right to do. >> all pms have a right to reshuffle and he really did inhent reshuffle and he really did inherit a team assembled by liz

truss and boris johnson almost when all the cards fail, they got those jobs they got after that chaos last year. since then the government's been trying to show the bond market. it's the wider global community that britain is not a complete basket case and can run run an operation here. and now's the chance here for rishi sunak to shape his own team. i mean, i would argue he could have happenedin would argue he could have happened in september when nothing happening, happened in september when nothing happening , when nothing was happening, when there a of there was wasn't a kind of an autumn statement the following week, a big news out from the supreme court on rwanda this week. could do it at week. i mean, he could do it at a different time, allow more time to read into these big jobs. for it. and jobs. but he's gone for it. and it showing a degree of grip. it is showing a degree of grip. he going for a big he has properly going for a big change here. there's tinking he has properly going for a big changethee.there's tinking he has properly going for a big changethee.thereas tinking he has properly going for a big change the e. thereas we tinking he has properly going for a big change the e. thereas we sawng he has properly going for a big change the e. thereas we saw in around the edges, as we saw in september, up is september, a proper shake up is in offing . in the offing. >> okay, chris, we will come straight back to you . thank you straight back to you. thank you for now. liam, you're still in the studio. how do you think the markets are going to respond to this? >> i think the markets will be reassured that jeremy hunt is still . they'll be still in place. they'll be

looking at more looking closely at the more junior will john glen, junior ministers will john glen, chief the treasury, chief secretary to the treasury, you know, secretary you know, chief secretary treasury absolutely the point treasury is absolutely the point person comes to these person when it comes to these big statements . so it would be big statements. so it would be strange if he goes. but clearly some of the junior treasury ministers are going. i just want to that over the next 24 to say that over the next 24 to 48 there's going to be 48 hours, there's going to be two really important of two really important bits of economic here which economic data here which are going either cement this going to either cement this reshuffle and make it look strong , strong and solid, or if strong, strong and solid, or if the numbers are bad, it's going to make the reshuffle look like a panic measure. and people will say that the prime minister knew these were coming. these numbers were coming. tomorrow we get wage data. will wages be going up on average by 7 or 8% as they have been in previous months compared to the same month the previous year ? or same month the previous year? or will wage inflation now start to come down slightly as inflation itself and then on itself comes down and then on wednesday we have that inflation number, the october inflation number, the october inflation number is going to be hugely important because it will basically whether or basically determine whether or not we can say pretty much for sure if the bank of england

stopped raising interest rates or inflation is currently or not. inflation is currently 6.7. a lot of people i predicted in my column this weekend, it's going to start with a five and maybe even start with a four. why going come down so why is it going to come down so sharply? brand new sharply? because the brand new ofgem price cap was put ofgem energy price cap was put in the beginning of in place at the beginning of october. that's down october. that's dragged down inflation. and for all these reasons, wage as wage growth slows a little bit, reasons, wage as wage growth slows a little bit , energy slows a little bit, energy pnces slows a little bit, energy prices come down a bit compared to this time last year. we think that inflation is going to be four point something or certainly five point something. if that is the case, then suddenly sunak say, suddenly rishi sunak can say, i've these bright young i've got all these bright young people come in, i've got david cameron's back, compare him to david lammy, and guess what? i've just hit my inflation target. it's great. three target. it's all great. three months then they can months early and then they can try change the narrative . i try and change the narrative. i wonder, i mean, ministers don't always of always have prior notice of where macroeconomic numbers are going to be, but if he does this and then he gets some good inflation data on wednesday, some decent wage on some decent wage numbers on tuesday, feel like tuesday, it's going to feel like

a i hope. >> i hope. >> i hope. >> sunak does keep some >> rishi sunak does keep some experienced people in cabinet as well for all these bright young sparks. probably good to have some people who have some years behind some people who have some years betlid some people who have some years bethd that's probably why >> i think that's probably why david is there as the david cameron is there as the graveyard he? graveyard isn't isn't he? >> mixture of >> yeah. mixture mixture of young and old, experienced and inexperienced perhaps is what we're going to seeing . we're going to be seeing. >> you for the >> liam, thank you for the moment . let's straight our moment. let's go straight to our home editor mark home and security editor mark white now who is outside the home office and inside side mark is the new home secretary, james cleverly, who's got quite a lot to do . to do. >> yeah, that's an understatement. an awful lot in his inbox. i'm not sure how happy he is to be here. it is, of course, one of the great offices of state. but he was clearly very happy despite it just how complex things are on the world stage at the moment. he was clearly very happy as foreign secretary had said recently, how he did not want to be removed from that role. well,

here he is now at the home office and dealing with issues that as far as the electorate are concerned, are probably be seen as far more important than theissues seen as far more important than the issues internationally, particularly the issues around immigration. and we know that the government is awaiting that decision on wednesday that decision on wednesday that decision from the supreme court on whether rwanda will be declared lawful or not. and if it goes against the government, well, it's back to the drawing board really , because there is board really, because there is no other plan b that we're aware of. this was the big plan in terms of acting as a deterrent to these people smugglers that would give them would give those trying to cross the channel illegally . the prospect of illegally. the prospect of actually being sent to rwanda rather than being allowed to settle here in the uk, the government was convinced that

that would be a deterrent enough to help reduce the numbers who want to make that crossing. i have to say, with regard to the numbers crossing the channel anyway, this year it is down 30% at 27,000 or so. who have crossed so far since the 1st of january. and that may be down to the weather conditions. more than anything else. but regardless , the government will regardless, the government will take that win . you know, that is take that win. you know, that is 30% down on the numbers that at least rishi sunak will be able to continue arguing in the way he has that government policies have been having an impact on the trade in human lives across the trade in human lives across the english channel. also so deaung the english channel. also so dealing with what we do in terms of those who are already here, the many thousands of asylum seekers, 50 odd thousand who are being kept in hotels to cost of more than £6 million every single day . well, we know that

single day. well, we know that the government is embarked on a policy of trying to get people out of hotel accommodation and into more larger scale purpose built or specially adapted accommodation such as bases. well, one in particular weathers field was opposed by james cleverly when he was foreign secretary. and the reason he opposed that, of course, is he is the local mp for braintree . is the local mp for braintree. the area around wethersfield . so the area around wethersfield. so presumably he's had a bit of a conversion and he's all for it now. or maybe he'll come up with an alternative site . we have an alternative site. we have asked that question to the home office and we're still awaiting a reply for them as to whether the new home secretary is still as committed to wethersfield as his predecessor was and any other issue. of course, everything around that the conflict in gaza. we know that as foreign secretary, he was steeped in that will now as home

secretary he he is also involved in that because there is a vexed question of what you do with hundreds of thousands of people regularly taking to the streets of the uk and you'll have to come up with solutions on that and of course, speak to the new commissioner of the metropolitan police to try and chart a way fonnard . ed, thank you very much indeed. >> mark white there, our home and security editor outside the home office. a new shiny home secretary, but the same old challenges. >> he has a lot to tackle. do stay with us here on gb news live. we're going to be taking you live to manchester today is the funeral of manchester united and england legend sir bobby charlton. he is getting quite a send—off. we will bring you all the details very soon. stay with

absolutely high level of knowledge and the cooperation with all the world leaders. and i want to use this opportunity to thank the all the prime minister, david cameron , boris minister, david cameron, boris johnson, liz truss, theresa may and now rishi sunak, because you demonstrate a unique leadership. for me it is an absolutely good news and i remember when in the year 2014, 15 when we met during the my visit to london, during the my visit to london, during the european union council, it was absolutely unique, leading role of the great britain and david cameron in the sanction represented by the european union against that russian aggressor and also, i want to remind you the words of the david cameron , who once said

david cameron, who once said that the plan must be to give to ukraine as many resources as possible to help bring the war to the end. and i think now it is even more active and this i really wish that david all the best at the same time, i want to thanks from all of my heart the work of the thanks to the secretary. cleverly, he she definitely do a great job. he worked with me with the ukraine and i in general. thank that. now, before for the election in the us , the leading role of the the us, the leading role of the great britain is thought to be even more important. so david, good luck. we keep our fingers crossed and it was, i think nine years ago when david cameron cameron was prime minister, that he told european leaders that the west risked making similar mistakes in appeasing vladimir

putin over ukraine as britain and france did with adolf hitler in the run up to the second world war. >> he could see what was coming. perhaps petro i think that he is he has a very accurate prognosis and he he knows exactly who putin is. >> and i want to tell you what i told david in the year 2014, when first don't trust putin, don't believe putin. and second, don't believe putin. and second, don't believe putin. and second, don't be afraid of putin. and it seems to me, david, is david cameron, sir david cameron is absolutely share my view. >> my position, my approach. >> my position, my approach. >> he is very experienced and i think that is a very powerful weapons to support ukraine and to bring peace on the continent. >> and in other things we are really count that david cameron

now will also support our euro atlantic aspiration and we can definitely count on the support of the great britain in our process for joining nato. >> petro how concerned are you and president vladimir zelenskyy about the conflict in the middle east taking energy and eyeballs off what's going on in ukraine? you must be concerned that so much attention on the conflict with israel and hamas is drawing some of that attention potentially military capabilities away from ukraine? what are your thoughts? >> there? is not any competition for the global attention between us and israeli people. we see it simply, by the way , do not simply, by the way, do not possible to compare . 2000km of possible to compare. 2000km of the front line with russia with the front line with russia with the second biggest nuclear power

in the world and the terroristic attack of the gaza strip, which has only 40km. but the same time the world should understand that that the they will definitely need to support ukraine and they definitely need to support israel because fighting against the terrorists means fighting with the putin. i have no doubt that not only as a russian aggressor and the leadership of putin happening in ukraine, but also we have a different sign of the putin and russia participation in supporting hamas. i personally confident that the tactics of hamas is definitely provide and deliver by trainers and instructor from the wagner group from russia, which was sent there by putin because putin want to have a

burning flame from around the world which help him to reach their purposes. and with this situation, i can say that putin tried to weaponize everything and weaponize energy , de facto and weaponize energy, de facto weaponize food factor, weaponize international relations . and we international relations. and we definitely need to stop putin and we ukraine and now do absolutely great job. please help us to stop putin. >> thank you very much indeed for your time this afternoon. petro poroshenko there, former president of the ukraine who has met david cameron on numerous occasions . thank you for his occasions. thank you for his time. now we've got some breaking news. >> well, a few minutes ago, we were live from manchester where the funeral of manchester united and england legend sir bobby charlton is taking place. prince william is among the mourners who has arrived at manchester cathedral , all to pay tribute to

outside the cathedral. we'll bnng outside the cathedral. we'll bring you a more update as the show goes on. but now we can speak with our political editor , speak with our political editor, christopher hope, who is live from downing street to bring us the very latest when it comes to rishi sunak big reshuffle which has turned out to be a rather large reshuffle . all large reshuffle. all >> that's right. bigger than we thought as an umbrella blowing away in number 10. just as you came to me there. that's right. so solid braverman has been moved on as home secretary after a difficult few days for her and the prime minister into that role . we have james cleverly, of role. we have james cleverly, of course , formerly the foreign course, formerly the foreign secretary. and then the big news of the day is the return of the ronaldo of the of the early part of the last decade for the tory party. david cameron, i'm thinking of the football analogy there charlton's there with bobby charlton's funeral place up in funeral taking place up in manchester. certainly cameron is back secretary no one back as foreign secretary no one saw that one coming. been saw that one coming. it's been rumoured a bit. there rumoured for a bit. there are already grumblings already some grumblings from mps telling me they're concerned that he can't any

that he can't answer any questions. ins in parliament in the commons, i should the house of commons, i should say, foreign affairs . that say, about foreign affairs. that may issue going fonnard say, about foreign affairs. that may could issue going fonnard say, about foreign affairs. that may could become jing fonnard say, about foreign affairs. that may could become increasingly that could become increasingly awkward for david cameron because no one's he because no one's no one's he hasn't been elected by anybody in shouldn't be in parliament. he shouldn't be in parliament. he shouldn't be in be in terms of not even not even even a peer. as we speak , even even a peer. as we speak, certainly not an mp. so of certainly not an mp. so lots of mps are already saying, why? why is in parliament? is he there in parliament? shouldn't it be an mp who should be answering questions to mps and justifying foreign policy on and justifying foreign policy on a global stage ? so that's where a global stage? so that's where we are behind me, behind the big black door here behind me in downing street. we know currently laura trott, richard holden and victoria atkins are in there, along with steve barclay, the health secretary. those first three, i suspect , those first three, i suspect, are tipped for high office, but for cabinet jobs, as the pm, mr sunak reshapes his team with a younger looking group of people to take on. sir keir starmer , to take on. sir keir starmer, laura trott and richard holden , laura trott and richard holden, of course, elected back in 2019, along with claire coutinho, who

is currently the net zero secretary. so more young faces i think, to try and take on labour at next year's light general election to show the labour party there's a youthful ness about the tory party. this party is one which sheds its skin every 3 or 4 years, like a snake reshapes itself for whatever the voters want at that time. that's how they're so successful . how they're so successful. that's how they hold power for so long. and think this is the so long. and i think this is the final attempt. a last throw of the the rishi sunak the dice by the pm. rishi sunak given of polls , given the state of polls, somebody who is safe is jeremy hunt. >> that's that's the case, isn't it? we're not expecting him to be moved. i mean, it would be very odd, wouldn't it, ahead of the statement. next next the autumn statement. next next week be very odd. week it'd be very odd. >> he's assumed to be safe, but nothing is guaranteed . now, i've nothing is guaranteed. now, i've been trying to get to his team to find out if he is safe. of course, he's putting the finishing autumn finishing touches to the autumn statement. he's giving out interviews figures interviews about owners figures on economy late last on the on the economy late last week. expect him to be safe, week. we expect him to be safe, but we're not sure yet . it's

but we're not sure yet. it's a long day left to play out in westminster. >> so lots more to talk about. we bring you the latest we will bring you the latest here on gb news live. stay with

very really very humble. we didn't really talk football. we talk much about football. we talked we talked about other stuff. we talked about other stuff. we talked about other stuff. we talked about living in manchester, which is what i was doing time, he was doing at the time, and he was very that because he's very proud of that because he's originally ashington in the originally from ashington in the north was a proud northeasterner >> he was a proud northeasterner as well. was indeed. >> he was a proud northeasterner as 'hel. was indeed. >> he was a proud northeasterner as 'he was. was indeed. >> he was a proud northeasterner as 'he was. wascameed. >> he was a proud northeasterner as 'he was. wascame from >> he was. he came from ashington. he ashington. he's he was. >> hopefully see some >> hopefully we can see some pictures of him actually his pictures of him actually in his younger that would be lovely. >> he came down quite i mean, he must been 17 when he must have been about 17 when he first manchester united. first came to manchester united. he was in the team fairly, fairly quickly just talking about well. it about his numbers as well. it hasn't been mentioned hasn't really been mentioned that. 106 that. yes. okay. 49 goals in 106 appearances. that's magnificent. at level, winning at international level, winning the etcetera. he the world cup, etcetera. he backed trophies. backed up with trophies. he was a midfielder, wasn't a midfielder, pip. he wasn't even was an even a striker. he was an advanced midfielder. but to score a score that many goals from a relatively withdrawn position on the football pitch, especially in an era when football tactics were towards making were geared towards making everything easy for the two front players. midfielders weren't score goals. weren't expected to score goals. he and he actually he came fonnard and he actually did just club but did that not just for club but also for country as well. so we're here about we're talking here about somebody who. yes he left somebody who. yes he met left a legacy in of what he was legacy in terms of what he was as a as but goodness me, as a as a man. but goodness me, in terms what he achieved

in terms of what he achieved on the be few the field, there will be few that can match that. certainly no english and at no english players and aiden at this will this funeral present will be a number very high profile number of very high profile former players, managers , former players, managers, presumably current players to . presumably current players to. yeah there was there was actually a guard of honour earlier on from the manchester united under eighteens we saw it and the under 21 was lovely as well because came through well because he came through those and he also an those ranks and he also had an influence over certainly a couple of decades ago in the players that coming through. he mentioned david beckham was there paul scholes was there and we paul scholes was there and we paul scholes was there as well. he would have been by bobby been coached by by bobby charlton. been coached by by bobby charltwould have had counsel have. would have had his counsel over a number of years because bobby charlton, those players bobby charlton, to those players back somebody back then was somebody who'd been it. been there, seen it and done it. there aren't people around there aren't many people around who've cup the who've won the world cup and the european cup level in european cup at any level in global alone in in global football, let alone in in england. so yeah, somebody that the really up the players would really look up to and somebody that was instrumental in alex ferguson building because building that dynasty. because don't players building that dynasty. because don' exist players building that dynasty. because don' exist that players building that dynasty. because don' exist that a layers who exist within that in a directorship who've directorship role, who've been part era part of a successful era a couple of decades or three decades earlier, they can actually be to be a barrier to

success because they're always there a reminder the there as a reminder of what the club once but instead, sir club once was. but instead, sir bobby enveloped new club once was. but instead, sir boi:and enveloped new club once was. but instead, sir boi:and said, enveloped new club once was. but instead, sir boi:and said, look,�*eloped new club once was. but instead, sir boi:and said, look, you ed new club once was. but instead, sir boi:and said, look, you know, new era and said, look, you know, you can what our generation you can be what our generation could you are going could be. in fact, you are going to even winning the treble in to be even winning the treble in 99 and 13 league titles in the premier league, you surpassed what did was as much what we did and he was as much as the old generation as as part of the old generation as as part of the old generation as as new. remember when sir as the new. i remember when sir bobby moore died in 1993, bobby moore died back in 1993, the chairman the the millwall chairman at the time, said me, time, reg burr, said to me, i feel like lost link to feel like i've lost the link to a better era. and that's sometimes think has resonance sometimes i think has resonance today . didn't really today. i didn't really understand time, what understand it at the time, what he probably can. >> now you understand. >> now you understand. >> thank thank you >> well, thank you. thank you for reflections and your for your reflections and your thoughts today. the funeral of sir bobby which is sir bobby charlton, which is taking place at manchester cathedral this afternoon. >> yes, but let's turn back to the dramatic turn of events in westminster. rishi sunak has announced significant changes to his cabinet, bigger than we than we first thought. >> yeah . steve barclay well, >> yeah. steve barclay well, there's news now about him. he is the new environment secretary after therese coffey resigned .

after therese coffey resigned. christopher hope is out side number 10. he's been watching all the comings and goings so not unexpected. then after we saw him walking in, christopher. >> yes. yes he had been tipped to be moved on. i think that's because people don't really know him very well. i mean, i think internally in whitehall, he's known as someone who things known as someone who gets things done rishi done and is trusted by rishi sunak. done and is trusted by rishi sunak . he's been moved, of sunak. he's been moved, of course, from health secretary, which is a difficult one to maybe a difficult one. the environment secretary, he left the left behind me short the left behind me just short just moments ago and just a few moments ago and was dnven just a few moments ago and was driven off in in his driven off in his in his ministerial car. i shouted after him if is time for a wild him if he is time for a wild swim. mr barclay, not least because one of his key things in his in—tray is try and sort out the sewage in the rivers. there's a big issue, certainly in the south—west of england, more than more than most areas where people take part where lots of people take part in active outdoor pursuits . and in active outdoor pursuits. and theissue in active outdoor pursuits. and the issue there is driving lib dem votes for against the tory

party. i think that's one area that the government wants to see a tougher grip on. but theresa coffey course through coffey of course went through the me about the back door behind me about three hours ago. that was as i understand, a stage managed attempt for her able to attempt for her to be able to say farewell to her time as a minister. she was losing her job. it's been very gracious, job. it's been a very gracious, nice of letters between nice exchange of letters between prime coffey. prime minister and ms coffey. i think that's her now departing the scene in terms of as a frontline minister here in westminster and a new a new guys are taking over. steve barclay thenin are taking over. steve barclay then in as health as environment secretary. so now we have the health secretary role as open . health secretary role as open. not sure who's taken that yet behind me in the building behind me, have laura trott, richard me, we have laura trott, richard holton, both elected in 2019, waiting top jobs in waiting for their top jobs in government, and victoria atkins , government, and victoria atkins, a former or currently i should say, secretary to say, a financial secretary to the . three the treasury. those three individuals, , that are individuals, i suspect, that are back in the cabinet for the for the first time when they when they emerged from the door behind me, which will happen, i think, in the next few minutes. the process will be the new

health secretary. >> surely too inexperienced for that massive . department that massive. department >> we don't know yet who's got that job. we don't know. it's pointless to speculate right now, but it's a job which is been a hard one for the tory party to win over, though of course, they're they're bearing down on on on pay rises . they've down on on on pay rises. they've had to deal with a lot of issues this year with industrial unrest , with strikes by nurses and doctors and consultants. one of rishi sunak main five priorities for this year was to cut nhs waiting lists. well, that one is for the birds. that's gone in not least because of the stoppages in the nhs has meant it's very hard to get there. so. so i think they want to get someone in there with a new broom, a new fresher pair of eyes to try and tackle this issue, to bring bring the workforce the nhs side as workforce of the nhs on side as the government tries to to the government tries to get to deal numbers deal with the spiralling numbers of people waiting for operations and treatment on the nhs. >> barclay being moved to

>> steve barclay being moved to become new environment secretary, is that a sideways move? is it seen as a demotion? even chris i think it's a demotion. >> i think one of the key priority areas, given the scale of the cost of the nhs to the economy , is the nhs getting out economy, is the nhs getting out right? and it will make your career if you don't. well, it's not a great look on going to be a blot on the copybook book. he is the 10th environment secretary in the past 13 years. that's ten. in 13 years the tories have made environment secretary. that suggests to me it's not a priority area for the tory party. it's often a place it can be something to do rather than being a priority. i'm sure the government would disagree with me on that, but i think for me it's a sideways move for steve barclay. it's someone he was someone was trying was someone who was trying to use tech . he was he's a man use use tech. he was he's a man of, of not much ego, which is quite rare in politics. he had no office on the floor in, in richmond house, in the

department of health. he's on his own amongst the big team. he brought people with him. he's trying to find ways to use tech to get a better bang for our buck as taxpayers. so yes it's you know, i think it is a sideways move for steve barclay. >> christopher, i want get sideways move for steve barclay. >> cviewypher, i want get sideways move for steve barclay. >> cviewyphnrachelnt get sideways move for steve barclay. >> cviewyphnrachel mclean: sideways move for steve barclay. >> cviewyphnrachel mclean . she your view on rachel mclean. she was, i understand the 15th housing . minister for since housing. minister for since 2010. so we'll now be looking at a 16th housing minister, rishi sunak, in his speech to conference, didn't even mention housing as an issue to deal with. so what does this say about the government's commitment to building more homes? because that is what many, many , many voters want to . see >> and that's right. that's where you form new tory. tory. tory supporters ? well, it hasn't tory supporters? well, it hasn't happened yet and it was not in in in rishi sunak's speech. and that was noted in many ways. michael gove, the environment secretary, the overall boss of rachel mclean, they raised a white flag under pressure from the from the tories on the

backbenches over over the more building targets. the government would say, well they're trying to relax rules on the environment to try and allow for more, more building to 2 in 100,000 homes can be released to this through these nutrients rules. that hasn't happened. and i should say while i've been on air just now, it's i should say while i've been on airjust now, it's been air just now, it's been confirmed richard is confirmed that richard holden is the chairman . i find the new party chairman. i find that this is a guy that fascinating. this is a guy who was nowhere in 2019. he was the mp for north west durham. he won against the odds and now a little over four years later, he's the chairman of the tory party. that is vital. he is a champion of the red wall that is shown to me that rishi sunak knows he's got to win seats in in in the in the red wall and hold those seats that are won. so many would say for the personal vote for boris johnson. now the given richard holden that job shows he is trusted on the on the on the on the media stage so much as and holding those seats in the north. that

is the first big move to support those red wall mps who feel ignored and forgotten after ben wallace who was the last significant red wall mp, left the cabinet back in september. so just to confirm there, richard holden is the new party chairman. >> so chris, let's just try and piece this together. maybe not very successfully, but let's have a go to greg. hands is currently party chair, so does that mean that he could have been handed another role? have you seen any sign of him this afternoon . afternoon. >> we haven't . and of course you >> we haven't. and of course you can't unless he's a joint party chairman. we don't know what's happened to greg hands. so we'll wait and see. but things wait and see. but as things stand, it could that a stand, it could be that he's a co—chairman . we don't we don't co—chairman. we don't we don't know. that's not speculate. but we that. what i think we know that. what i think is interesting, though, is giving a job to mp elected back in job to an mp elected back in 2019, someone who's been part of the tory going back years the tory party going back years as and the rest , as special adviser and the rest, but a very junior, a young mp but a very a junior, a young mp to and hold down those seats to try and hold down those seats in the north. that says to me

that rishi sunak is trying to at least make the attempt at holding seats in the red holding those seats in the red wall. to win to on holding those seats in the red wathat to win to on holding those seats in the red wathat big to win to on holding those seats in the red wathat big majorityn to on holding those seats in the red wathat big majority they've on to that big majority they've got. as for greg hands, got. but as for greg hands, we'll fact, as we'll wait and see. in fact, as i'm my phone is i'm speaking, my phone is pinging . richard holden's pinging away. richard holden's official role is minister without portfolio and that means he'll have a right to attend cabinet. but it is that's a role given typically to the party chairman. so we're waiting to see what's happened to greg hands, whether hands has hands, whether greg hands has been there been moved, we don't know. there was certainly have concerns was certainly have been concerns about not about his chairmanship ship, not least susan hall, least the way that susan hall, who's lacklustre who's a rather lacklustre candidate, was selected as the candidate, was selected as the candidate to take on sadiq khan in what could well be a close mayoral elections in may in the capital in london next year. so of course, it had a very difficult, difficult time so far. greg hands with a series of repeated defeats in in in with in seats normally held by as many as 20,000 at the last election. so it has been a very difficult time for greg hands i think richard holden just for me demonstrate a generational shift

going after younger voters and voters in the red wall. and that's fascinating. i think now one of the risks for any prime minister when they're going about a reshuffle is creating enemies in the backbench is my i'm thinking about perhaps a certain former home secretary suella braverman, who has said that she will say more in due course after saying, of course , course after saying, of course, that it was a privilege to serve as home secretary. >> she says she has more to say in due course. what might she say? i'm imagining her standing up with a crowd of supporters in a westminster think tank or someone like that and making a barnstorming speech about why she sees why she thinks she was sacked and what's coming next. what do you think? well i think what before that speech happened at a think tank, she's got a chance to make a speech, a resignation speech on the benches of the house of commons. >> and that's the historic where you've seen some epic speeches in the past. i can remember

vividly geoffrey howe's speech when attacked margaret when he attacked margaret thatcher, saying he like thatcher, saying he felt like a cricketer who was going out to bat, captain had bat, but but the captain had broken bat on the way to the broken his bat on the way to the wicket. and i said, i wonder whether we're going to see some moment as moment from suella braverman as things speaker's things stand, the speaker's office, understand it in office, as i understand it in the commons, has not yet been notified resignation notified about a resignation speech from suella speech coming from suella braverman, that must be in braverman, but that must be in the offing and if that happens, it will be very, very it will be a very, very difficult for rishi sunak. difficult time for rishi sunak. as right is as things stand, the right is feeling bruised . there is no one feeling bruised. there is no one appointed right of appointed yet from the right of the senior roles the party to senior roles in government . certainly the names government. certainly the names have door have gone through the front door behind not from the behind me are not from the right. no one replace right. there's no one to replace suella course, suella braverman. of course, when that back in when she took that job back in october last year, she agreed to support rishi sunak that support rishi sunak and that almost gifted 30 or 40 votes to mr sunak , who at the time was mr sunak, who at the time was trying to fight off penny mordaunt the leadership and mordaunt for the leadership and possibly boris johnson . so possibly boris johnson. so i think the right want to see who is person in the cabinet. is their person in the cabinet. so far no one yet will wait and see. but i think it's a fascinating i think are

fascinating i think that we are going some interventions going to see some interventions from she from suella braverman as she fights for to be the darling of the right, which of course the membership of the tory party, 140, 150,000 or are of the 140, 150,000 or so are of the right . let's have a look at right. let's have a look at what's happening me now. right. let's have a look at wha partyppening me now. right. let's have a look at wha party chairman, me now. right. let's have a look at wha party chairman, mr me now. right. let's have a look at wha party chairman, mr holden yw. right. let's have a look at wha party chairman, mr holden ,y. the party chairman, mr holden, can you can you win back the red wall, can you win the red wall, sir? can you win the red wall, sir? can you win the red wall for the tory party? mr holden ? he's shaking his head holden? he's shaking his head and smiling. now. i do know him quite well, so he probably was laughing. i was shouting at him slightly, but that's richard holden there, chairman holden there, the chairman of the party. we'll wait to the tory party. we'll wait to see what happens to greg hands. but as he's being driven away there a in party car , he there in a in a party car, he did he look happy . chris yeah, did he look happy. chris yeah, he did look happy . and he's he did look happy. and he's someone who does. you know, i think many would would wish him wish him all the best in that job. he's someone who fought a seat, which he wasn't meant to win. i remember vividly interviewing a interviewing richard holden a week after that, landslide week after that, that landslide of the tory party in december 2019 when he turned up about six

weeks out from the election. he had no supporters. he remember he told me he, he he got took out a rent on a cottage for a few weeks, lay there looking at the ceiling, thinking, i've got to find some tory members, then i work how win this i can work out how to win this seat. and he did it really from the he met and talked the ground up. he met and talked to 2000 all he to around 2000 people. all he reckons he had team of a reckons he had a team of a handful supporters in handful of supporters in north—west durham. that was a seat the tory party had no seat which the tory party had no chance of winning at all. and it was taken was really almost taken for granted labour party and granted by the labour party and against the he held that against the odds, he held that seat that seat in seat and won that seat in north—west durham. he knows all about think about lost causes. i think richard holden and if anyone could that the tory could do that for the tory party, it's a lost cause at the moment. i think i'm on moment. so i think i'm on a personal level. i'm pleased for him. it's a vindication of his attempts being mp back attempts to being a tory mp back in but whether he can, in 2019, but whether he can, whether can turn party's whether he can turn the party's fortunes around is a different question. you question. well perhaps you can ask private and report ask him in private and report back us later in the day. back to us later in the day. >> we shall see. it's quite interesting. i'm just reading

some of the reaction to the reshuffle. thank you very much, christopher. christopher hope there outside number 10. he'll keep date . lord keep us up to date. lord heseltine given his view . he heseltine has given his view. he says the tory right wing lurch , says the tory right wing lurch, which has been put to bed by this reshuffle. so there you go. is this an ousting to bed for little nap or put to bed ousting of the right wingers, not least suella braverman, of course. and bringing cameron , of bringing in david cameron, of course, a staunch roman rayner. i'm interested to hear what people at home think about all this . lots of reshuffling going on. >> on. >> rishi sunak says he's all about change. is he doing it for you with this announcement, this reshuffle today , or as liam reshuffle today, or as liam halligan was alluding to earlier, what is more important, perhaps, is what will be in jeremy hunt's autumn statement next week. jeremy hunt, we understand, is remaining as chancellor at least for now. >> yes, a few tweaks here and there are unlikely to cut it dunng there are unlikely to cut it during these times. but after the break, we'll be live outside

the break, we'll be live outside the home office with our home and security editor, mark white. don't go anywhere

isabel, monday to thursdays from . six till 930 . . six till 930. >> we've got some breaking news with the reshuffle. rishi sunak's reshuffle. let's speak to our political editor, christopher hope, who outside christopher hope, who is outside number 10 downing street. christopher hope, victoria atkins appointed secretary of state for health. quite the promotion . promotion. >> yes, up there from financial

secretary of the treasury. she's been around before, though, been in other departments , too, in in in other departments, too, in in inequalities in justice and in the home office. so she's someone who is seen as a safe pair of hands, age 47. of course, she's someone from from a family of conservatives. her dad was was a robert atkins. her mum was a former conservative councillor , a barrister. councillor, a barrister. i wouldn't say she's part of the of the rising star group within those elected in 2019in the tory party. but certainly someone who's a safe pair of hands and may may kind of apply some balm to the issues they've had with the health unions for the tory party. they may soothe party. they may try and soothe over some of the some of the some of the wrinkles there with the relationships with steve barclay, former health barclay, the former health secretary, barclay, the former health secretai moved barclay, the former health secretaimoved on to environment. course, moved on to environment. >> financial >> he was previously financial secretary to treasury . so secretary to the treasury. so she's in that position for she's been in that position for about year now. she's health about a year now. she's health secretary three. that is quite a leap , is it not? christopher .

leap, is it not? christopher. yeah, it's a for number three in that department to number one. >> yeah, it is. i mean, i think people often when you are a low ranking treasury minister, you are tipped for greater things because the treasury, which is number 11 downing street, just along from me here, is they said they control budgets. they they control the budgets. they have all the power. i think that's why i think many that's why i think that in many sense it's not surprising that someone like that would get a job, maybe in health. one of the i think the biggest spending departments in government, one where it's really important to keep spending and keep a lid on on spending and try efficiencies at try and drive efficiencies at all while maintaining all possible while maintaining support from the workforce. so in that sense, it's quite strategic and clever. i wouldn't say that she's very well known to unions or health to health unions or health bosses. that's whole new bosses. that's a whole new relationship got to be relationship that's got to be reformed. i know, know is reformed. i know, i know this is always case, but i i'm always the case, but i am i'm sure are some people sure there are some people watching who, eh, haven't heard of her and may be concerned of her and be may be concerned that she has no experience of anything related to or am

anything related to health or am i with that? anything related to health or am i does vith that? anything related to health or am i does she that? anything related to health or am i does she have something >> does she have something health in cv? oh health related in her cv? oh well, on a personal level, she suffered from from diabetes since she was three, so she is aware of she has she knows the health service has has been treated in it . treated in it. >> her husband works for a sugar company that might not help with the obesity messaging . i don't the obesity messaging. i don't know. no. othennise, i mean, no, she's not really she's not really. >> sorry to put you on the spot. >> sorry to put you on the spot. >> well known. but i think this is attempt. no, we don't is an attempt. no, we don't worry. she's not someone worry. no, she's not someone who's well i think to the who's well known. i think to the wider, community. but then wider, wider community. but then again, steve barclay. again, nor will steve barclay. i think, i think that job is too much to keep a lid on much to try to keep a lid on spending and to drive spending and trying to drive through efficiencies as much as trying over unions . i trying to win over the unions. i mean, been a battles, of mean, there's been a battles, of course, past course, going back over the past decade , past, past, past year or decade, past, past, past year or so. let's see what's happened behind me now. looking fonnard to being health secretary. ms atkins how will you sort out, for instance, the health service

is that's victoria atkins leaving? forgive me for shouting across you there, victoria atkins. victoria atkins there , atkins. victoria atkins there, leaving in a very humble ford vehicle there. it looks like she probably doesn't know the answer to your question. >> yes. the job she probably doesn't know the answer to your question. >> why should she? >> why should she? >> but i mean, she's she's doing my best for gb news viewers. >> she's got a massive brief there. a lot of challenges , there. a lot of challenges, chris. there. a lot of challenges, chns.the there. a lot of challenges, chris. the nhs record waiting lists striking junior doctors. she's got a lot to do with not long to do it . long to do it. >> it's huge . i mean, the idea >> it's huge. i mean, the idea of cutting waiting lists, which was the target set by rishi sunak back in january in that speech, the five targets for the yean speech, the five targets for the year, that's gone . i mean, no year, that's gone. i mean, no one thinks that can happen, but it could well be that next year may in that there's more may happen in that there's more likely will happen. likely that that will happen. i'm looking shoulder likely that that will happen. i'm that'soking shoulder likely that that will happen. i'm that's that's shoulder likely that that will happen. i'm that's that's the shoulder likely that that will happen. i'm that's that's the primeilder now that's that's the prime minister's past in parliament.

so he's not he's he's there to make sure that what he'll be doing is fencing off angry people on the right of the tory party and others within the party. why haven't they been promoted? id and where are the voices the right? is this voices of the right? why is this party lurching away from work, from and moving back from the right and moving back into ground? it may into the centre ground? it may the there's the answer may be there's a there's there's an election there's a there's an election coming. your coming. but going back to your question victoria atkins, question about victoria atkins, i who who i think she's someone who who can and bear down on costs can try and bear down on costs in the nhs, find efficiencies and try and deliver on this. this idea of cutting waiting times. i've been told by think tanks tell me that that may only happen nextjuly, next august , happen nextjuly, next august, because of the distress caused in part by the by the stoppages from nurses and doctors, but also by the legacy of the covid pandemic . pandemic. >> well, you mentioned the word election in there. does this reshuffle shuffle, do you think, have any impact on the timing of next year's election, bringing it fonnard or having it as late as possible ? well if there's a

as possible? well if there's a conspiracy theory dealing around in westminster , that because you in westminster, that because you have to give months notice, have to give six months notice, it's between stopping being a minister taking up a job in minister and taking up a job in the private sector. >> the mps who have quit >> some of the mps who have quit government today i'm looking at jessye norman. forgive me , jessye norman. forgive me, jessye norman. forgive me, jessye norman. forgive me, jessye norman. neil o'brien stood down as in the government there may quit the next election. we're not sure if that will they're doing so to will happen. they're doing so to allow notice take allow themselves notice to take up the private sector, up jobs in the private sector, and the election could have come as may year. for as early as may next year. for me, it's longer term bet, i me, it's a longer term bet, i think. sunak's king's speech think. mr sunak's king's speech last week set out a far longer period. i think that he wants to remain as prime minister, maybe as long as january 2025. that's as long as january 2025. that's a the longest date that he a date the longest date that he can he can remain as prime minister without calling an election. don't forget, when you walk those stairs behind me walk down those stairs behind me in downing street, you walk past all of prime all these faces of prime ministers when ministers with their dates when they prime minister below they were prime minister below it. can have dates it. and if he can have his dates as 20, 22 to 2025 without making it feel a bit better about

himself, won't it? >> absolutely. christopher hope for now. thank you very much . for now. thank you very much. it's all been happening, isn't it? yeah have we got any have we got any more major announcements 7 got any more major announcements ? we've health secretary 71. ? we've got health secretary 71. we're on. we're waiting on. >> off this show with >> we started off this show with lots outs , lots of people lots of outs, lots of people losing their position or resigning or stepping down. now we have a lot more ins. we have got a lot more ins. we've got five. we've got we've got five. so we've got james cleverly home secretary david cameron, secretary david cameron, foreign secretary steve barclay, environment secretary richard holden, conservative chairman , and conservative party chairman, and victoria atkins. now health secretary. so there you go. there's my roundup. secretary. so there you go. the it's my roundup. secretary. so there you go. the it's going undup. secretary. so there you go. the it's going to dup. secretary. so there you go. the it's going to be. secretary. so there you go. the it's going to be a very >> it's going to be a very different cabinet going fonnard. let us know what you think. there is lots more that we're going to be talking about very shortly headlines going to be talking about very shorisophia headlines going to be talking about very shorisophia . headlines going to be talking about very shorisophia . it's headlines going to be talking about very shorisophia . it's 233.1lines with sophia. it's 233. >> i'm sophia wenzler in the newsroom. a reshuffle is undennay among the prime minister's senior team , steve minister's senior team, steve barclay has been appointed as the new environment secretary.

welcome back to gb news. >> live with me, emily carver and pip tomson. now in the break, we've just had a few bits of breaking news from the ongoing reshuffle. laura trott has become chief secretary to the treasury. she was previously a minister in the department for work and pensions, so she's been appointed chief secretary to the treasury she replaces victoria atkins and victoria atkins in quite a surprising surprise appointment for many is now health secretary . health secretary. >> now that is a massive brief when you think about what is going on within the nhs at the moment, especially with those junior doctors and consultants strikes. so she's going to have a lot to do. bit of a poison chalice, we might say, with the waiting list as they are and we still waiting on whether there'll be any change to the

role of justice secretary, which is currently occupied by alex chalk. only been doing the chalk. he's only been doing the job a few months and education secretary gillian keegan. we haven't had any word about her either. been in the post, haven't had any word about her ethink been in the post, haven't had any word about her ethink for been in the post, haven't had any word about her ethink for 12,)een in the post, haven't had any word about her ethink for 12, 12m in the post, haven't had any word about her ethink for 12, 12 months post, haven't had any word about her ethink for 12, 12 months oryst, haven't had any word about her ethink for 12, 12 months or so. i think for 12, 12 months or so. so we will be returning to christopher hope, our political editor, who is watching all the comings and goings in downing street, shouting questions as at the new appointees . it's not the new appointees. it's not that he's got very far. he's getting a few smiles. he's getting a few smiles. he's getting a few smiles. he's getting a few smiles and a few good but we be good afternoons. but we will be returning him. but first, returning to him. but first, we're to mark we're going to talk to mark white, who's outside the home office. >> yes, we are on the news of suella braverman's departure. well sacking. she's been replaced by james cleverly. mark just bring us up to date. >> yeah, well, you were talking about it. one of the jobs being about it. one of the jobs being a bit of a poisoned chalice. you could actually argue the same about the home secretary liz position. it is one of the great offices of state, but it is never far away from big

controversial subjects . and controversial subjects. and chief amongst them, of course , chief amongst them, of course, is the small boats crisis that continues to rumble on just yesterday we've had the figures in on the boats crossing yesterday , 12 boats . with 615 yesterday, 12 boats. with 615 people. now we're well into november and still getting very significant numbers of people coming across the channel. whenever their conditions do die down a bit. now, of course, over all since the beginning of the yean all since the beginning of the year, the numbers crossing the channel are down about 30% on where we were at this time last yean where we were at this time last year, which has got to be welcomed. but a big plank of the government's policy going fonnard is that rwanda plan , fonnard is that rwanda plan, which will be ruled on by the supreme court, this coming wednesday, that will be again the first big challenge for the new home secretary as he awaits as everybody else does. the

decision on whether that rwanda plan is lawful, if it is ruled unlawful. well the government's going to have to go back to the drawing board as well . right drawing board as well. right back to the beginning in terms of deciding what they do to act as a deter parent to those coming across in small boats because the government is convinced that actually sending significant numbers of people across to rwanda will act as that deterrent that will stop more people coming across the engush more people coming across the english channel. so let's wait and see what that first real test for james cleverly will be in addition to that, there's the continued headache of what you do with the many thousands of people who are already here joined by 615 more who arrived yesterday. many of those 50,000 who are being accommodated in hotels. the government wants to move away from that model and

put them in larger centres like old raaf bases, where we know that james cleverly is or was against the use of raf wethersfield in essex, which is actually within his constituency. so as foreign secretary he spoke out against that particular policy. let's see if he's still wedded to that. now that his home secretary now , is he happy to be secretary now, is he happy to be here? well, as i say, it's one of the big offices of state, but he did not want to leave his job as foreign secretary. now, in that job, of course, is david cameron. lord cameron , who, of cameron. lord cameron, who, of course, seen around the world as a statesman, having been prime minister for six years. he is a well known and respected international figure, and he takes on, you know, some very, very serious issues in terms of the ongoing war in the middle east, in gaza, the of course,

continued conflict in ukraine as well. so we can expect that within the coming weeks there will be visits by the new foreign secretary to both the middle east and to ukraine in ukraine to show president zelenskyy that he and the british government are still foursquare behind ukraine in its efforts to push russia out of that country. and in the middle east of course, the uk government is still fully in support of israel . is war support of israel. is war against hamas, but also trying to reiterate it as friends and allies do , that in pushing ahead allies do, that in pushing ahead with that effort to remove hamas from the scene, that it's got to have the innocent members of the pubucin have the innocent members of the public in gaza uppermost in their mind as well. >> thank you very much indeed. mark white, our home and security editor there outside the home office. it'll be interesting to see what boris

johnson thinks about the appointment of david cameron. both to the house of lords and to his position now as foreign secretary >> i'm sure we will hear from him probably the daily mail him probably in the daily mail very weekend. very very this weekend. very interesting. and also this this claim nadine doris, boris's claim by nadine doris, boris's big that george osborne , big ally, that george osborne, the door is now open for him to come back. >> yeah, she seems to think this is all part of an evil, evil plan. but we shall see what comes of if anything , we comes of that. if anything, we can with our political can now speak with our political editor, live can now speak with our political edito downing live can now speak with our political edito downing street. live can now speak with our political edito downing street. quite'e can now speak with our political edito downing street. quite a few from downing street. quite a few chops changes since we last chops and changes since we last spoke. last time we spoke , spoke. last time we spoke, victoria atkins been victoria atkins had been appointed to health secretary. from position as financial from her position as financial secretary to the treasury . and secretary to the treasury. and we've seen a few other changes . we've seen a few other changes. let us know . let us know. >> that's right. laura trott , >> that's right. laura trott, the former chief secretary of laura trott, has been made the chief secretary of the treasury. forgive me , replacing john forgive me, replacing john glenn. now that is unexpected. john glenn was doing a review on productivity, which is due to report at next week's autumn

statement for jeremy hunt to find ways to get better, more bang for the band , for the buck bang for the band, for the buck and more cash for the for the taxpayer out of the current. the current way the government is spending money but he is now gone that a surprise . so gone and that is a surprise. so four john glenn was in four days ago, john glenn was in the for that he was the news for saying that he was a upset the a surprise and upset about the size of tax burden. well, size of the tax burden. well, four later, been four days later, he's been sacked. what he makes of that? we'll wait and see. aukus also we mentioned earlier, rachel mclean, the housing mclean, that the housing minister, she's been moved and made me very made very clear on social she was unhappy social media. she was unhappy about moved . as i said about being moved. as i said earlier on, gb news the problem with these reshuffles is of every one person you please, about four others are really angry about it. and that can that can harbour resentment. and the challenge, i think for notably richard holden, the new party chairman, along with the pm, rishi sunak, is to bring all those people back on one side and after the guys who've been moved away from their jobs, sacked, been overlooked, they'll moved away from their jobs, sa(unhappy1 overlooked, they'll moved away from their jobs, sa(unhappy . overlooked, they'll moved away from their jobs, sa(unhappy . how.ooked, they'll moved away from their jobs, sa(unhappy . how canzd, they'll moved away from their jobs, sa(unhappy . how can you hey'll moved away from their jobs, sa(unhappy . how can you bring be unhappy. how can you bring them? make them? make them happy

again with the government to work taking on work together towards taking on labour at the next election expected about 14 months expected now in about 14 months time, political editor christopher hope, you for now. >> in the last few minutes , >> in the last few minutes, another resignation from science minister george freeman, who says he has decided to step down with a heavy heart . says he has decided to step down with a heavy heart. but says he has decided to step down with a heavy heart . but quite with a heavy heart. but quite interesting. liam halligan is with us. business and economics editor. quite interesting what chris was saying there about john glenn being replaced just days before the autumn statement. he's a pretty significant figure. >> he's number two at the treasury. what we call chief secretary to the treasury and the chief secretary to the treasury generally a of treasury generally does a lot of heavy lifting before a budget or an statement , working an autumn statement, working with to get the with officials to get the documentation in order. so it does seem i mean, i think i said done all the work. yeah, i think i said it an hour ago. i'd be surprised if john glenn goes and there we go, he's gone. which really does suggest that really does suggest to me that the prime minister is keeping the prime minister is keeping the chancellor but the chancellor on. but completely we rewire airing the

chancellor's team pretty much the paymaster generals change. financial secretary to the treasury laura trott. she's become chief secretary of the treasury. let's see what jeremy hunt of but look, hunt thinks of that. but look, this a really big this is going to be a really big 48 for economy going 48 hours for the economy going fonnard. obviously, it's all about the politics today, but tomorrow morning, we're going to get those wage numbers which indicate how big wage claims are indicate how big wage claims are in the economy, where wage inflation is. that obviously impacts ordinary people very strongly in their household budgets. but also it will indicate where inflation goes because wages are seen to be a big part of why inflation happens. and then on wednesday at 7 am, we've got the inflation number itself. that's the number for october . and inflation number itself. that's the number for october. and i think the government is banking on very big reduction in on a very big reduction in inflation. we're at 6.7% in september . the october number september. the october number i wrote in my telegraph column yesterday, i'll probably start with a five. and the reason and the reason i think that is because the ofgem energy price cap , which determines the

cap, which determines the ceiling on the unit cost of electricity that households pay for that came down sharply at the beginning of october. that was the decision by the regulator. so that should cap out some of the energy price increases which should feed into lower inflation. it doesn't mean pnces lower inflation. it doesn't mean prices are coming down. it means they're going to they will have gone up less sharply between october year, on october october this year, on october last year. but let's say it is significantly down. it's still , significantly down. it's still, you know, many times the bank of england's 2% target. but if it's coming down that sharply , i coming down that sharply, i think a lot of people will conclude that that means there's going be more interest going to be no more interest rate rises. we've had 14 that should the housing market. should help the housing market. if you're selling your and if you're selling your house and you prices stay firm, you want prices to stay firm, that mean that mortgage that will mean that mortgage borrowers get little bit of borrowers get a little bit of relief in the sense that at least know where they are. least they know where they are. so interest rate idea, so that interest rate idea, that idea, interest rates have idea, that interest rates have peaked, the idea that inflation is sharply, idea is coming down sharply, the idea that cost of living squeeze that the cost of living squeeze is now no longer going to be the

main theme of politics, as it has been for most of the last yeanis has been for most of the last year, is that will help rishi sunak he can then build on this and see this as a kind of as a kind of relaunch with some good economic numbers. if the economic numbers. if the economic numbers. if the economic numbers are bad, though, will like a panic. >> but hasn't jeremy hunt to >> but hasn't jeremy hunt got to announce attractive in announce something attractive in his statement ? next week his autumn statement? next week will get votes . he's on board. will get votes. he's on board. well that's the judgement for him, isn't it? >> he will say that, oh, we can't spend too much money. we don't want to unleash more inflation we're just inflation when we're just getting control. getting inflation under control. a his backbenchers and a lot of his backbenchers and tories will say we need tax cuts now because keir starmer is hammering us in the opinion polls with points behind polls with 20 points behind and there's something those there's something in both those views. my general view that views. my general view is that he'll wait until the spring budget march, april next budget of march, april next yean budget of march, april next year, nearer a likely general election . but certainly before election. but certainly before he anything in terms of tax he does anything in terms of tax cuts for households like income tax insurance or tax or national insurance or something i think something like that. i think what may you get what you may get if you get a tax cut next week is a tax cut for businesses . i'm not i don't

for businesses. i'm not i don't think they're going to put corporation tax down. it went up from 19 to as you know from 19 to 25. as you know earlier this year. i don't think it's come down. but it's going to come down. but what do is what the chancellor may do is extend what we call full expensing that allows businesses, if invest businesses, if they invest money, they can take that off their corporation tax bill. now, that's great you're a big that's great if you're a big business, you've got deep pockets and can invest. but pockets and you can invest. but if tiny business if you're a tiny business running cafe, a family firm , running a cafe, a family firm, it's a harder to take it's a lot harder to take advantage those tax breaks to advantage of those tax breaks to invest. when money's tight. so it tax cut for it will be a tax cut for businesses if there is next businesses if there is one next week. it won't be a cut, week. but it won't be a tax cut, particularly small particularly for small businesses . and they're often businesses. and they're often the the who the swing voters, the ones who really who wins the really determine who wins the next general election. it's interesting the treasury next general election. it's intereis ng the treasury next general election. it's intereis being the treasury next general election. it's intereis being athe treasury next general election. it's intereis being a little easury next general election. it's intereis being a little bitury team is being a little bit reshuffled, but big time economic strategy doesn't seem to be or at least there's no suggestion that it's going to change dramatically in any way. >> massive tax cuts, if >> no massive tax cuts, if that's you're hoping that's what you're hoping for. but thank very much, liam but thank you very much, liam halligan. business economics halligan. our business economics and editor . halligan. our business economics and editor. now, today and business editor. now, today is the funeral of footballing
