i've got an interview with tom tugendhat.en an mp since 2015, has been a minister, a soldier and has now thrown his hat in the ring to be leader of the conservative party and, he hopes, prime minister. tom, welcome to gb news you've thrown your hat into the ring. you've written an article for the telegraph. what is your vision for the conservative party.7 >> well, jacob, my vision for the conservative party is one that i think we all share, which is to be conservative again. and frankly, we failed . let's be frankly, we failed. let's be honest with ourselves. the last few years. we failed to deliver. we failed to achieve the aims that you and i championed as much as we could in parliament and in government at different points. and we failed to do things like bring migrant numbers down, bring taxes down and deliver that conservative agenda that we know makes this country prosper. and my vision is that we should actually deliver. i've got a track record of doing that as you know, delivering on operations in afghanistan and iraq

and tom tugendhat. >> yes. so i think you're speaking to tom tugendhat, a bit later.e to ask him for more detail on this, because he is saying that changing his mind from where he was a little while ago, that he would be, willing to leave the european convention on human rights, that's part of his kind of pitch now, for being the tory leader, this worries me because i know a lot of people say, oh, we, you know, we want to kind of, you know, do our things ourselves. and we can we've got ourselves. and we can we've got our own right to make up our own mind. well, how's that been going for us? yeah i trust is kind of a big issue with this. and if you don't trust your government to do the right thing, then i think you do need balance and checks from outside. and i am very worried that anything that gets rid of the european court of human rights actually is quite a worry. and i know people think we can do everything ourselves, but i think we've kind of manifestly demonstrated over the last few years we can't, we've got ourselves in quite a mess by letting you know the gove

i see you've had a big sit down with tom tugendhat.really interesting conversation with tom. >> obviously we talk about the echr and his views on that , his echr and his views on that, his views on net zero. how he thinks he can unite the party and whether you take away the whip from some people who don't know what a man is and what a woman is, or assume there are a few on the tory benches. >> i was told i was a nutter for talking about the echr four years ago. nobody would ever be interested in that. now it's a really important. but it was funny. i saw a bit of the interview where he said, you know, we have to be absolutely clear. and then he wasn't very clear, was he? >> politicians should never say, i want to be absolutely clear. i think people should win a prize. when politicians say that harold wilson started off, i think, saying, let me be completely frank. at which point you knew harold wilson was going to say something that wasn't absolutely wasn't, you know, jacob, what else have you got tonight? >> oh, what are we going to be

tom tugendhat two.d, suella braverman and mel stride not a single declared public backer for either of them at this stage. >> yeah, that's right. i mean, suella braverman, her campaign manager, danny kruger of her supporter in 2022, he's now with robert jenrick. so clearly she's made a lot of enemies. and i mean, look, there are even suggestions she may go over to reform. those are just rumours at this point. but she nonetheless did ask for the nomination pack from bob blackman, the chairman of the 1922 committee yesterday. so she is at least indicating that she'll give it a go. we just will wait and see. as i say over the next couple of days, this race will shape up very quickly by the time we get to. it's a long campaign, by the way. it's three and a half months before we find out who wins this thing, but before that we have four or in theory, four candidates who will go and sell their wares to the party. membership at the tory party conference. again, it's not clear who those four will be, because i

this is what the tom tugendhat, tom tugendhat, tory leadership hopeful was forced to change his campaigner it was discovered that it spelled out can i say what it spelled out can i say what it spelled out? >> not, you can spell itt spelled out? >> not, you can spell it t u r d because this was in the daily mail and because this his thing was, was together we can unite, rebuild, unite the party. it doesn't look like it does spell that, but i think it's because of the way it was put on the screen. yeah. >> if you look at it. yeah, it going downwards. it did, it did. >> well that's just, that's obviously just an accident. >> this story and i just took away the great thing would have been making lewis say that word. and i just saved him at the last minute. i don't know why, but yeah you can see it was last minute changed because it looked when they fixed it, it then said instead of defeat labour it said win back the country. and it's much longer than the other text because they had to change it last minute. so it doesn't spell this, but you would have thought that the people doing this sort

that's probably why tom tugendhat is probably aheadin why tom tugendhat is probably ahead in those polls a centrist figure that can probably, you know, not so much the left, but the more moderate, you know, conservative small c and the more kind of extreme conservatives together. and that's why, tom, i think potentially would definitely go to the members. whether he'll win with the members is interesting because the members, let's remember, picked liz truss right . we've got to remember right. we've got to remember that, you know, and that was a disaster. so you know on paper who the parliamentary party versus the members want will be completely different in my mind. >> yeah. interesting. lots of comments, tom tugendhat is not the right pm material. he is on the right pm material. he is on the left and they need someone more right wing. that's from sheila, keep those comments coming in by the way, a lot of you getting very, very uptight about this situation, about what people are doing, i just also the labour party, right . okay. the labour party, right. okay. they have hit the ground ru

tom tugendhat has condition. tugendhat has become the second person to throw his hat into the ring and stand for the tory leadership, and he could be an early frontrunner, scoring the lowest negative rating with members of the public. that's according to a report in the independent. he's the second person to join that race after shadow home secretary james cleverly. mr tugendhat ran unsuccessfully for the leadership in 2022, but managed to secure a role in the cabinet. he says the conservatives lost the trust of the british people because they failed to deliver lower taxes and lower immigration. >> you've seen what's just happenedin >> you've seen what's just happened in the recent election . happened in the recent election. we lost the trust of the british people because we failed to deliver , and i've got a track deliver, and i've got a track record of delivery, whether that's in the army on operations in iraq and afghanistan or whether that's in parliament standing up to those who would threaten us, those auth

but everyone else in the race, at least those who have declared robert jenrick tom and tom tugendhat,hey're much more bullish on that. they're willing to leave for the sake of getting flights off the ground, stopping, stopping the boats and so on, so, as i say, a long contest. we've got three and a half months before things before we find out who wins this thing, a long way to go, but nonetheless, we're we're seeing which which way it's going to steer in the early in the early days. >> adam, there was a. sorry if i'm going to ask one quick question. adam. there was a daily. actually, we're running out of time. adam. we'll come back to you later in the show. i had a question about priti patel on the. we'll ask her immigration record, but we'll come back to you later in the show. >> yeah. i mean, do you think that people really are that bothered anymore about the conservative party? i mean, i feel like they're slipping into irrelevance because of their their antics. you know, i think there's a few die hard tories left, but they're going to have a lot to think about over the next coming

and by the way, tom tugendhat was in the way, tom tugendhat was in the lobbies with me during covid, society rather than an overmighty state. tom's recently tweeted out about that. and, you know, we could go on. there are plenty of themes which unite us all in the conservative party, but you do rightly say that people were voting off to reform and to the liberal democrats. i think that's illustrative of the problem we face. we have to build a broad coalition, which is on board for some robustly conservative things. and tom, as somebody being seen from the left, is, i believe, the right person to do robustly conservative things with a tone that can attract everyone. but you're right, he's going to need to prove to everyone that he is a true blue conservative, willing to press in the direction of freedom under the law. >> it's hard for us to imagine because we're not there in the situation you're in. but what do you do now? as clearly you've got some mps who are still sitting, although in opposition now and then, people like you who lost your seat but who still want to be very , very a

tom tugendhat has obviously been mentioned.enrick has been well, rob jenrick has been well, rob jenrick has been doing, i think, a lot of work to articulate the problem. >> can i just clarify tom tugendhat, he is a one nation tory. >> anyone that is a member of the conservative party is a conservative first and foremost. whether you believe this left or right sort of nonsense, some would disagree with that. charlie. it's about the thing is also just very quickly, it won't take that long, by the way, to work out what went wrong. you know, the tory party failed to deliver on things that it said it was going to do. it didn't cut immigration, taxes didn't fall as quickly enough as they should have done it doesn't take that long to work out. what you've got to do, though, is, is find someone that can actually then bring the party together. i'm afraid people like suella won't be able to do that. >> well, she might she may be going to reform, who knows. so your pick is who? tom? >> tom, i would say tom, i would say robert jenrick. >>

are supporting tom tugendhat.up the rear supporting tom tugendhat as a future leader of this party? >> do you know what i'm not supporting anybody. >> oh come on robert, you've got to play ball on this. >> well i'm just a member now and i have a vote ultimately in the members to retain a vote. >> by the way, they should definitely. now, all this talk about mps deciding and cutting out the grassroots. >> well, i think that's mad, especially when you've only got 121 of them. >> you know, i did describe this potential race as bald men arguing over a comb on election night. and, you know, i do want everybody just just not men arguing over a comb. >> yeah , just i think everybody >> yeah, just i think everybody should just calm down and remember, actually playing this long is right. >> you know, back in 1997, we you know, i think william hague's a great guy , by the way. hague's a great guy, by the way. but, you know, i think that was too early for him. yes. ian duncan smith, you know, with respect to ian, it didn't wo

she joins james cleverly, robert jenrick, tom tugendhat and mel stride running to replace their ex—bossishi sunak. to replace their ex—boss rishi sunak . nominations close sunak. nominations close tomorrow . the foreign secretary tomorrow. the foreign secretary is condemning a rocket strike in the israeli controlled golan heights , which killed 12 people, heights, which killed 12 people, including children . david lammy including children. david lammy says he's deeply concerned about the risk of further escalation and destabilisation. israel released this footage of air attacks being carried out against hezbollah targets in lebanon overnight . water bosses, lebanon overnight. water bosses, who repeatedly allow sewage to be dumped illegally, will face criminal charges under new government plans. environment secretary steve reed is warning that they'll also be stripped of their bonuses as part of tighter regulations. he also says customers will receive refunds if money earmarked for sewage system investment is not spent on that purpose. >> if water bosses keep pumping these levels of raw

i don't mind tom tugendhat.at it's actually going to be smarter for them to get a one nation tory, because we've seen that in terms of the labour party, they've done better when they've had more of a centrist leader. moving on from jeremy corbyn. so i actually think that it would be better for them rather than taking the bait from, from reform. i don't actually think it's going to have that much of an effect. i think that they need to go down the middle ground, but then be firm on things that people you know who are notoriously or i guess , are notoriously or i guess, traditionally conservative, feel a conservative values rather than pandering to the far right, far right, although, well, the other far right. what else would you call them? >> who's the far right? sorry, reform. >> no they're not. >> no they're not. >> that's what else are they? >> that's what else are they? >> far right. why are they the far right? >> are they centrist? >> are they centrist? >> what is far right? well, they're just right wing. we

. >> beyond the tory kind of support, can we talk about tom tugendhat?chat about it out there , didn't chat about it out there, didn't we? and let's be honest, two years ago, he's saying he wouldn't leave the echr. this week he writes an op ed in the telegraph saying, oh, actually i would, but in the same op ed says, i'm somebody who keeps my promises and we must build trust. was that a mistake, charles? >> well, i think he's like he's trying to square off the right of the party, and then he'll tap back at the centre. i mean, look, i think he's still got a chance. you know, he is probably the one nation favourite sort of, but if he's in the final two verses, someone who's more on the right, like patel, i would think he'd probably lose. >> he'll lose on the final ballot. i mean, this is your point, jeff. this kind of man might appeal to the country at large because he's more centrist. he's already flip flopping on week one. >> i think the risk of doing that, and i've got a long memory in these things, is what happened to michael portillo . happened to mic

tom tugendhat, usually associated with the one nation side of the conservative party. it. i think robert jenrick will probably be in favour of pulling out of echr. so if you were to have the conservative party, the official opposition, in favour of withdrawal and the labour government in favour of staying in, then it seems to me you don't need a referendum. the next general election will sort it out. we had a referendum. i was just asking michel before we came on air. she was on the remain side. i was on the leave side. we had a referendum because the topic of eu membership actually divided within parties as well. and the conservative party was especially divided on it. but i think this could be that the tories come out for leaving echr labour want us to stay in. it could be a big dividing line for the next few years. >> well, quite possibly. and rebecca, i'll just say so. so apparently, according to this, mr tugendhat's position on the echr has changed since 2022, when he dismissed calls to leave the convention. however, he apparently has become increasingly concerned

whether it's tom tugendhat , mel stride james tom tugendhat, mel stride james cleverly, kemi badenochbadenoch, robert jenrick or priti patel, suella says she'll be there to support them. so look, she's loyal. no doubt. but when even she admits her party brands her mad, bad and dangerous, why on earth is she sticking around? a defection to join nigel farage on all star right wing ticket would certainly give the tories food for thought, but let's get the thoughts of my panel now. daily express columnist carole malone , express columnist carole malone, former labour minister bill rammell and former chairman of the conservative party sir jake berry , carole malone, let's berry, carole malone, let's start with you and all star, right wing ticket suella to reform. is it going to happen? no, it's going to happen naturally in years. >> i mean, she actually said today in the piece she did in the telegraph that the farage destroyed us. so she's still calling herself another tory. but she said, i think, carole, sorry to be a pain. >> your mic is off. we're going to sort it out. but oh really, bi
