your party's been complaining about rishi sunak using private jets. week that you accepted a private jet flight. and very broadly speaking, the way the bbc works out how much coverage it's going to give each party depends on that party's electoral support that it's had in the past. why would leaving. a 300—year—old union with england not be even worse? jeering there are also other factors taken into consideration. for example, you know, if it is a relatively new party, you've got to bear that in mind. you accuse other parties of broken promises, but isn't this really a list of unrealistic promises, a wish list? if that party's had a consistent position in the polls, that will come into it as well. and sometimes it might be how widely that party's standing in the election, so how many candidates they're standing and where. would the king survive as head of state of an independent wales ? um, it would be up to the people of wales. so, there's a whole, you know, range of things that are taken into account when the bbc decides how much coverage it's givin

we are discussing the bills that rishi sunak was putting - bills that rishi sunak was putting forwarda lot of cross—party support. the government decided to call the election injuly and then take the fault time it could have done to pass those laws. but i think it's a really positive sign that some of those things where labour agrees with what the objectives of the previous government to work, it went to pick this up and put them into law. i’m this up and put them into law. i'm -la with this up and put them into law. i'm play with martin's law, there is criticism of rishi sunakfor play with martin's law, there is criticism of rishi sunak for making the promise and length calling the general election before it was ten. 0ne general election before it was ten. one of the reasons why that is an integral part of what we will see today. he said it marks the start, but with a new government coming in, you know the civil service very well. how much preplanning was done or wasn't done, because there were so many big radical changes as labour describes. was their work to begin en masse? the lab

it was never rishi sunak campaigning, political campaigning was never rishi sunak's strong point.tail. i think he's actually been, you know, just impartially. i say this i think he's been quite a good chief executive of the country. yeah. and i think, you know, he's obviously got designs to go and be a chief executive somewhere else, perhaps in california after this, india after this. yeah. after this election . but yeah. after this election. but when it comes to political campaigning, it hasn't been a well run campaign. there's a lot of frustration. i mean, for one, one thing, i was speaking to somebody who was canvassing up in the north, north—east of england and they were saying just before the election, we got the green light on to money jul, a particularly difficult road where there had been a number of accidents in our constituency. i'm not going to talk about the constituency because then it's just going to create all sorts of problems. but why , if we just of problems. but why, if we just plan this a bit better, then we could have had, we could have had an autumn election

we have rishi sunak speaking right for.that we could not deliver what your efforts deserved. it pains me to think how many colleagues who contributed so much to their communities and our country, will no longer sit in the house of commons. i thank them for their hard work and service. following this result, i will step down and party leader, not me immediately, but once the formal arrangements for my successor are in place. it is important after 14 years in government, the conservative party rebuilds, but also it takes up its crucial role in opposition, professionally and effectively. when i first stood here as your prime minister, i told you the most important task i had was to return stability to our economy. inflation is back to target, mortgage rates are falling and growth has returned. we enhanced our standing in the world rebuilding relations with allies and leading global efforts to support ukraine and the new home of transformative technologies and our united kingdom is stronger too. i'm proud of those achievements.

for rishi sunak . statistic for rishi sunak. >> it was a bit of a question in westminster over why rishist early and personally, my best answer to that question was always that he was worried. obviously, the rwanda plan had failed to actually take off. no flights had literally taken off from the runway. it didn't look like it was going to get going any time soon. and i always thought that rishi called the election. now because he was worried that come the autumn or the winter, you would have had a whole summer full of migrants, coming over in those small boats. and the numbers would look even worse than they did this time a year ago. but, i mean, he hasn't really managed to avoid or mitigate that catastrophe because, as you say, the numbers are already going up. we're already well into the summer now, even though it doesn't really feel like it today. and we know that in those summer months it is much, much easier for migrants to cross the channelin easier for migrants to cross the channel in small boats, and they do so in much larger numbers. so rishi sunak is already facing the fallout

rishi _ steps. and labour being handed this masted majority. rishi sunak- steps. majority. rishi sunak was warning, saying it was a danger. if you look at it another way, you might say it allows the government to deliver on some difficult decisions. it allows them to make some decisions that might not be universally popular. how do you think keir starmer will use that power. as yellow all the commentary i've heard is not one i experience. i've heard is not one i experience. i've worked in all three governments. you don't have to be threatened or held hostage by a handful of people. you have to debate. it's not a dictatorship, but having majority is an important thing to do. i did notice that keir starmer is the size you to the —— emphasise unity. that means he'll need to do a whiter coalition than just labour. people want parties to collaborate together. if you want to make lasting change, you want to actually cooperate. sir keir —— attorney blair was on the few that survived. —— tony. you really want to have a consensus to work with that as well. it to have a con

do you not wake up to rishi sunak on friday? saying rishi sunak's re—elected, how will you feel if you don't want that feeling, vote labour on thursday and if you've had enough of the green belt, vote labour because isupposeif green belt, vote labour because i suppose if you were to come up with a mantra for starmer, we had education, education, education with blair, it's build, build, build. >> with starmer, it doesn't matter where. >> well, we are going to build houses. i mean, you know, there's people in their 30s who still can't get on the housing ladden still can't get on the housing ladder. if we carry on like this with people in their 40s, even 50s, who can't get on the housing ladder. look, there's lots of brown brownfield sites across the country. everybody will have seen it in their local communities. it's usually an area which is overgrown, surrounded by fencing. we should be building on those sites. but there are areas of the country which we've called the grey belt, that old petrol stations, which are now designated

tom: a short time ago rishi sunak conceded.e heavy defeat, which has seen several cabinet ministers lose their seats, it will bring to an end 14 years of conservative rule. >> the labour party has won this general election, and i called keir starmer to congratulate him on his victory. today power will change hands in a peaceful manner with goodwill on all sides. that is something that should give us confidence in our country's stability and future. british people have delivered a sobering verdict tonight, there is much to learn and reflect on. i take responsibility for the loss. tom: the outgoing british prime, rishi sunak. the pound is relatively steady at 1.27 versus the u.s. dollar. ftse 250 futures pointing to gains around 0.4%, this is a result predicted by the polls. no big shock for these markets. it does not dilute the significance of this moment, bringing you your expertise, what are you watching for in the next few days ahead. what is the significance around the economic policies of this incoming labor government. --l

rishi doesn't get it. failed in office and deserve this result, you know, so you might end up with a leader who advocates a more sunak approach to a suella approach. can you serve under such a person? >> listen, these kind of discussions are so premature. camilla, with respect, as i said, we're right now in the place of the aftermath of a devastating result. sure, tory mps are, you know, demoralised. our members are exhausted. everyone's just waking up from a shattering disaster and we can't make decisions like that. that's why what i'm trying to say is we all need to take stock. we don't have the burden of government right now. we don't need to rush into a knee jerk reaction or a rushed leadership, decision. so you're happy we need to remain as leader for the main time. >> the main objective now is for all of us to come to an agreement on the diagnosis of the problem. rishi sunak. then can we fix it? >> so how long should we have rishi sunak in place? >> while you get those details that are going to be so

you can't imagine rishi sunak staying until christmas.w leader by the party conferences, surely. which is september october time. they don't know yet if they're going to give the members the final say or not. they could change the rules. there's been talk about changing the system. how long can i expect to see rishi sunak as leader of the opposition? i think if the party decides to have a long race and not have a new leader until november, december, i think they'll end up going for a caretaker. i think if the party decides that they won't have a new leader until september or october, i think he would stay until that point. and also remember that there's a month of summer holidays for parliament coming up. so actually it sort of doesn't really matter. well, it's less visible to the public, but that is when the party theoretically should be getting going. we're nearly out of time. on our last radio four encounter. do you both want to share your favourite memory of this last period of election excitement, or the thing that will stay with you

what did you make a rishi sunak's performance _ fruition.'s performance today? it's i fruition. what did you make a rishi sunak's performance today? it's a | sunak's performance today? it's a difficult role to play when you are on your way out. and also he doesn't have much to go out because we are only a couple of weeks into a new government. they've not really done anything yet. i think there is a universal agreement across the political divide that in opposition and as temporary leader of the opposition, rishi sunak has carried himself with a lot of grace and has been very dignified and how he approaches keir starmer and approaches keir starmer and approaches labour. it's not a fun or comfortable position to be in. he lost comfortable position to be in. he: lost absolutely dismally, and instead of sort of throwing a tantrum or getting nasty about it, he's been very gracious. in fact, some people sort of question where was this softer more calm and relaxed side to him ahead of the election? could that have helped him at all instead of the

one of these two rishi sunak. one of these two men has got to spend the next five years pushing back on this divisive and frankly sinister movement, which is damaging our society. the brilliant historian niall ferguson likens the increasingly woke west to the crumbling soviet russia after the second world war. he thinks it could bring down the west altogether. writing for the excellent free press website, he said the following. he wrote a bogus ideology that hardly anyone really believes in, but everyone has to parrot unless they want to be labelled dissidents. sorry. i mean deplorables. check a population that no longer regards patriotism , religion, having patriotism, religion, having children, or community involvement as important. check how about a massive disaster that lays bare the utter incompetence and mendacity that pervades every level of government? for chernobyl ? read government? for chernobyl? read covid check. he's absolutely right. as i said, all the way back in 2020 on my old talk radio show, covi
