2:19 pm
of candidates to replace boris johnson. as british prime minister is growing more crowded, but the day former defense secretary penny morden has announced that she's launching her bid. and that follows for contenders who entered the race on saturday when i go live now to paul brennan, who's going to be talking to us from london? paul, this list is getting longer talk us through who the latest names are. the latest names entering the fray for the conservative party leadership and thereby the prime minister ship of the u. k. and cleared as you say, penny mordant, now a, she's a staunch br, exeter and her glitzy video launch a quote, for example, leadership has to be less about the leader. i'm more about the ship, so this is penny more than setting out her stall. if the kind of a single minded leadership that forest johnson engaged in where he was accused of gathering all power to himself at downing street anymore and appears to be wanting
2:20 pm
a bit to be a bit more collegiate. if she was elected as prime minister, she is somewhat of an outsider, though that's not to say that she won't make it through for the final stages and such a job id as also i've been doing the rounds of the broadcast media this morning. and he has been saying that emphasizing his experience and his credentials saying that the job of conservative party leader and prime minister this is not an entry level job, is something that study java has said this morning as well as promising tax cuts of 39000000000 pounds, here in the u. k. i asked for why it was that he was willing to sit in a cabinet with boris johnson for such a long period of time. he said when he'd given boris johnson the benefits of the doubt. and that is something that might come to haunt some of the cabinet ministers who are standing for leader. the fact that they spend so long on devoris johnson question is whether the party membership might want a fresh break from the boris johnson era. the other name is grant chaps transport. secondly, not him. so he who is the short lived, sir,
2:21 pm
for the chancellor of the exchequer, until the names of haven't formerly declared yet all his trust. the foreign secretary, i'm pretty patel. the home secretary now list trust is understood to be particularly ambitious and highly likely to put her hat into the ring just as a formerly done. so yes, a pretty patel is weighing up her options just to say that it's also highly likely that despite the longest at the moment, couple or several might actually drop out in the early stages when they realize that they simply haven't got the votes among their parliamentary colleagues, so it's unlikely that all of these will make it through and to even the 1st round, whoever gets the job is of course going to be facing some fairly serious issues. talk as to what the party is going to be looking for a new leader. and how does that compare to what the voters might want? that's a really, really good question because the distinction between who actually elects the next conservative party leader under by the prime minister is that it's not the wider
2:22 pm
public that do it. first of all, the 2 final candidates are actually chosen by the conservative m. p. 's sitting in parliament, it's not open to a why the vote. and the final say over which of those final to get through to the top job is actually made by paid up members of the conservative party only not the wider public. so there are 2 issues here. what is the wider interest or the national interest? and you can talk about things like the economy or the war and ukraine. and then there's also what our conservative vote is interested in. and that is not necessarily the same thing. so what the battle ground that's being force at the moment is, is over tax. as i mentioned, such as javin, he's promising some 39000000000 pounds worth of tax cuts on both him and jeremy hunt. who's another candidate who's been doing the broadcast rounds this morning? they're both wanting to reverse the proposed increase, increase in cooperation tax, and hunter. it also turned back a proposed increase in national insurance as well. there are concerns though,
2:23 pm
over this because one of the favorites candidates richie soon act, the former chancellor who resigned in protest the poorest johnson last week. he's actually responsible for proposing those tax cuts, those tax increases. so he is gonna be on quite difficult ground if he decides then to reverse his stance in order to try to fit in with the broader sentiment that appears to be coming out from conservative party members. that they want lower taxes. yeah. so the favorites might actually found himself hoist by his own petard pull. thank you very much. and he poll brennan, bring you up to date from london or thousands of people in lebanon's, northern city of tripoli are living in danger because their homes are at risk of collapse. the city suffered from decades of government, neglect, and instability, but hundreds of families are living and unstable structures because they are too poor to go elsewhere. santa hodder has more in just a few moments. hallett eco lost everything. the 3 story building where his family
