2:02 am
a double bond. michelle for britain, scandal blighted prime minister at one that he'll need all his famous survival skills to pull through from the resignations of 2 of his most important ministers came with personal attacks that could prove politically fatal. first out was health secretary such a javits with a judgment that the conservative party had lost the faith of the electorate. it's clear to me that this situation will not change under your leadership hero. and you have therefore lost my confidence to sticking the knife in shortly after was chancellor ritchie sumac, the public right, the expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. i believe the standards a worth fighting for, and that is why i am resigning. peppered with questions as he arrived home. such a javert used every resigning politician's favorite, no comment cliche. i'm just going to spend some time with my family. thank you for coming. thank you. party gates,
2:03 am
the own patterson affair. the downing street flat refurbishment. numerous scandals have brought the prime minister to this point, but what seemingly precipitated these big desertion is the admission from number 10 that johnson did know of a disgraced m. p. chris pictures previous sexual assault allegations, despite claiming he didn't minutes before his ministers walked. mister johnson went on tv to apologize. i think it was a mistake and i apologize for it. i think in hindsight, it was the wrong thing to do. i apologize. everybody who's been badly affected by it. so i just want to make absolutely clear that there's no place in this government the, anybody who is predatory or who abuse is that position of power the press. the big question is of course what next? although there have been several further junior resignations. the rest of the cabinets sticking by their leader for now at least, given johnson survived
2:04 am
a vote of confidence last month. disgruntled m. p. 's would have to change the rules to hold another one, but in a year. opposition lead a care stormer is coating for elections. we need a fresh start for britain. we need a change of government. this government is collapsing, the tory party is corrupted. and changing one man at the top of the tory party won't make any difference. he will fix the problems. let's up a fresh golf written. let's have a real change of government. but at the moment that looks like a long shot, as does any expectation that boris johnson will follow his ministers and resign. we'll reach helen's to 0. well, that sounds vantage even sanderson, the political economy department of kings college. he also co hosts the politics john podcast, and he joins us now. nazena from london even thank you for being with us. i was reading mr. soon. i can mr. jimmy, it's lessons a resignation, a fairly brutal thing. british people expect integrity from the government. so let me stand with the big question and after surviving so many scandals,
2:05 am
is this actually the end, the bar johnson? this is certainly the end for boys, john, so it should be clear or 70 percent of the british public wanted to go more than half a conservative voters. want him to go conservative and peace. want to keep that jobs and keep their seats the know to do that, they have to get rid of bars. johnson, we should also be clear, remember why it is that we are here? we have because for the for shots as light to the british people that it democracies on the beds are leaders cannot lights whilst we cannot, could said to be covered. if we are not told the truth, that's the kind of talk to them, not a bit. putin uses secondly, appointing guys is, was effect to be used at the head of hate talk about he knew to be a legit be guilty of sexual assault, sexual harassment of finally, of course, most importantly, tightly, parents, children, and others. they couldn't see that dying relatives. while he himself was partying it downing street, it's looks like the n for boris johnson. he will go down as one of the was prime
2:06 am
ministers. countries at all. it seems like the last straw here, after all the scandals, mrs. pincher appointment. now that's embarrassing, but it's really just the latest embarrassment as you say. so in your mind and what was the beginning of the end? the beginning of that was the allegra strauser video that came out last november, december, where we'd had these allegations of policies, the knowledge from inside of betide and that the 1st video that made it clear up. there were parties, it not been had during the locked are we remember lockdown, have shown lots of your list to the cross the well to night will remember that they in the cells were made to stay at home, out with people in this country on a particular as well, of course in this country go unable to say good bye to that dying relatives. there are pieces of knowledge in number 10 that scandal has dropped out a lot longer than we were expecting it part because boris children are pointed to his cabinet, people he thought, were loyal either those he thought were going to be the most compet said that loyalty is late the last this long, but now of course the day to big resignation that son looks for the very end of
2:07 am
this particular period of government or so on. despite all of that, that the prime minister did when that vote of confidence last month and not liz, then presumably him being safe for a year. and procedurally how do you see this going? yes it, he, it was a narrow way to cite ludo so that he does not have majority in the comments he bought and technically would be safe for another year. the problem is for the prime minister, by the way, in any case is the fact those rules can be changed by the conservative policy and from a wide, a constitutional perspective. the idea is that the conservative policy in the united kingdom have a majority of around 70, something now and peace. they've lost a few and peas. but if forest also con, rusito doesn't, how the culprit us of the vast majority of his m. p. 's is he can't govern in the comments, he can't get things through and called the cheese in a difficult position. so also technically one that confidence by every luck.
2:08 am
another nail in the coffin also was a much worse result than people who are expecting a lot even unheard in your mind. you think can succeed bias johnson and given the depth of feeling here, how do they then we gain public confidence and the tory party jago so i could really put it to the conservative party will adopt choosing and who will get to the the final 2, i will sit if i do not envy that talk there, caught the sky. what is fundamentally a circle that can be squared or the one how the conservative party wants to be a low tax and low spend policy. but on the other side, we have a public that once we'll spend a journalist called living crisis, and we'll spending on that public subs, did, i can't see how the leda can book when they leave ship or potentially to, to win the leadership and actually become prime minister, but then also gov in, in the interests of the country when the next election. i don't see a way full with that particular person but will still happen. they'll certainly be a white of broadview coming out. interesting times and a thank you for joining steven. found it out from the political economy department
