3:34 am
i see you case gardening party choosing a leader for the 2nd time this year to replace live trust cannon you conservative prime minister restore confidence over the country head towards early elections. this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to the show. i am, sam, is a, than the united kingdom is set to have its 3rd prime minister in less than a year lives trust, resigned on thursday, just 45 days into the job for economic policies. it spoke the markets and caused a sharp fall in the pound. a new leader now face is formidable economic and political challenges. government debts has risen to its highest levels and nearly
3:35 am
60 years. that's 98 percent of economic output as inflation surges. and as the unfinished task of navigating the implications of briggs, it will the opposition, they were parties calling for a new general election or get to our guests in a moment. but 1st, paul res has more on the content is to replace trust. there are some familiar names emerging for this leadership contest from the leadership contest that so let's trust elected in the summer. at the 1st of those richie soon as the former chancellor, who finished behind liz trust in that contest, penny more than he was the 3rd in what would be an extraordinary come back, but maybe will not entirely unforeseen. maurice johnson, the man who left office as prime minister in the summer. what seems to be the case so far is that johnson is flying back from a holiday in the caribbean,
3:36 am
gathering support gathering diamond is getting the same thing behind him that helps him when be 29 team general election. there's a walk up group already doing the round called back and forth, and he seems to have around 40 and peas or so already willing to back him in this race, johnson does have an ongoing investigation around him over whether he lied to parliament overlook sound policies during the throne of ours pandemic, but that might not put him off. and even though there's many in his party who don't believe he's morally fit to govern, they may decide that he is their best from a piece of labor in a general election. whether that eminence or within the next 2 years, with the conservative trailing labor in the poles. now in terms of how these candidates will be elected, it's a much higher ball than during the election during the summer. each one has to receive the backing of $100.00 em pays to go through to the final round,
3:37 am
which means that will be a maximum of 3. there will be a lot of soul searching in the coming days with m. p. 's deciding whether to throw the weight behind bars johnson to help him reach that threshold. full reef for entire story. the well, let's bring in our guests, they're all joining us from the u. k. in london, we have asked the hon. a member of the british parliament for the opposition labor party, insult, free, pizza obo and a political commentator and associate editor at the middle east. i. and also in london, alex dean, a conservative party member and political commentator. welcome to all if i could stop by and 1st of all with ourselves. so as i can do think another internal conservative party vote produce stable leadership for the u. k. i don't think so. i think fundamentally with the loud and clear that the party is badly fractured and
3:38 am
it's the very same people are just having the revolving door here. how will they make a difference? these are the very people who be responsible for want to be going through the whole mess, would been made a lawful, thoughtful to the world. so i don't think just going through the same people getting a new person, but there can a difference. let's take that point to alex. alex also mentioned the revolving door looking at the names of the likely candidates for the job of prime minister. you get the feeling is the conservative party running out of options when a name like boris johnson is back in the running again. not just back in the running. i didn't think this 48 hours ago, but now i must say that i think barbara johnson is the most likely person to win this contest. and i think 1st of all, that because of something that cool was reflecting in the piece that we just heard, like all his reporting was very accurate. if i may say conservative party members of parliament will not want an election,
3:39 am
it would go badly for them. i think if there were to be one cool, any time soon, there's a great deal of challenge that we just heard from the labor party as to whether a new leader would have a democratic mandate, you know, prime minister in a single year. will that argument dissipate? somewhat if it's or it's johnston who of course one and 80 c majority of the last election in 2019. so whatever you think of him, i think right now the conservative party is most likely to select up what former prime minister, morris johnson, that's kind of in an incredible situation. isn't it, peter? do you agree that who do you think at this moment is best place to win the contest? and if it is boris johnson, what does that say about his politics? what he says about conservative politics is, is that great and wonderful thing in a way, mr. forest johnson is a proven and habitual liar. there was sat by his own party for lie only and only 3 months ago. and yet, here we are, he's there talking about him possibly coming back though. not alex dean. i mean,
3:40 am
no, no more person. if you know, if you were local bank manager or the man who ran your local village shop or whatever it may have been sacked 3 months ago, for compulsive lying on a repeated and systematic basis, it would be absolutely unbelievable that he would be reinstated that job 3 months later, but alex dane is completely right. it does look very interesting reasons that the mr. johnson has a reasonable chance of becoming prime minister this time next week, because that's when the normally when that's when this contest adds, that is quite a situation quite a turnaround. if that comes true, i want to go back to alex dean and ask this question. if it is boris johnson, whoever it is, will the next 5 minutes to be able to unite the conservative party,
3:41 am
let alone the country because the divisions are much deeper than personalities. right? it's really a question semi and of course the number of the members of parliament will be asked to back a bar is johnson government. all the very people with the tribal and rightly said to express kinetic confidence in him only a few short months ago. and the most generous phrase we might apply to that position might be situational flexibility. and i think we got to see some of that if they realize that or assumption is the need a prime minister. and they prefer to keep their seats and not to incur the wrath of their own association schools. the conservative party local associations which produces that nominees to be members of parliament and against back bar assumption, as prime minister, at least at the beginning. but you're right, you're the 1st of your questions. absolutely. the right with no disrespect meant to the labor policy, who's doing that best to oppose all flying and all right. now it's clear that the
3:42 am
biggest i can get to a conservative policy. prime minister is the conservative party's members of parliament. they've done now the 3 prime ministers in a row. and you'll find agreement between me and our labor party member of parliament on me now is that it makes the conservative party looks ridiculous. it will chairing down leader after leader consider theresa may forest johnson. nowadays trust the conservative party, a parliament destroyed 3 leaders in a row and this flows nice, i guess to the next question, let me take it off. so will the conservative party be able to withstand the pressure for an early election also, especially if bars johnson met finds his way back into number 10. let me 1st start say, you know, the fact that we're discussing the possibility of body johnson coming back itself. i think shows how difficult is it because it party or are in this seems to me
3:43 am
a total mass, a phone one, you know, it's just been pushed out. someone has been approved a lie of someone was already being investigated. the only prime minister in the history who got a criminal record you could say as well. and so many of them are m p 's. now what are the often to resign? how does that go down? how does that help? and i don't see this actually taking us forward. so when i go towards early elections, then the difficulty at the moment is exerted party do have the majority and they can see the risks to their own house and their party. and that proves the fundamental point that they're putting their south and their party before the interests of the country, where you can see the whole chaos they have created and is one thing after another . they just see a bar, and then you can suddenly see another lower bar and then another lower bar and they're making us as a lawful stock. and at the same time, millions of all the people are suffering as a result of their policies. peter,
3:44 am
i guess what we're getting at here with ourselves common says the conservatives are not going to break ranks and push, or none of them will be open to the idea of early elections because they know labor's way ahead. let certainly true that if that was election tomorrow morning, based on the polls as they are now, the tories would not actually get a single seat. now obviously this is mid term and i'm things can change and that means that the there's but now in the sense every incentive to the consensus to avoid an election. but the fact remains aswell is impossible to disagree with. the conservative party has caused chaos act, financial chaos, looming economic chaos. people are going to start losing by jobs, mortgages, again arising and they are a chaotic that unfit for government. everybody can see that,
3:45 am
and i think they are in danger of losing their legitimacy. i'm to try and as i'm going back to alex, dean's point boys, johnson is currently favorite to return it. i wonder allison, but it was, they might see cents on this. i mean, in a period of financial emergency, which is where we are now to put boys johnson who is not a stable figure. he's the candidate of chaos. battery in charge. we'll start to price an actual markets. and i have noticed that the prospect about potential johnson side has already sent yields rising in the guilt market market and british government debt. the candidate of hey i stay fresh and then i was yeah, actually i was going to come to you and alex and say it of these divisions railey, we're talking about may we need to explain why the conservative party is so divided it go back to breaks it go back to the unfinished business of exit and has been
3:46 am
something of a hollowing out of government of ministers, of the most experienced elk, because they were perceived to be on the wrong side of brags it. well, they certainly been some change in the post brick environment and i think there was a fact in the very strong push against forest johnston, especially in the last days of his premier ship. we've also got a, you know, be very consensual so far. so now we got a bit of disagreement because i would point, i was listening carefully to what peter said on point. first of all, to the fact that no one can pertain the current 2nd sounds good. we've got 4 chance switching, 4 months in the, you know, contracts that up and pretend that it's supposed to. but there are significant economic headwinds against every developed economy. inflation is ramping across europe, interest rates are rising across the world. and a lot of that is not to deal with whoever occupies number 10, downing street number 11, our chancellor. i would also points out that jeremy hunts are arrival. i looked,
3:47 am
we didn't, but when he was a candidate leader is politics are not mine. but he's a rival, was one of the bright points that the brief lives trust premier ship. it was welcomed by the markets and it does look a good deal, what we're main shop. so let's see whether winds conservatively possibly talking contest, so i wouldn't quite go. so far as to say, the things that peter said about the future, in fact, i think a lot of the economic fundamentals in the u. k. are better than some of our european neighbors. and if you're comparing ops to what's happening at the maintenance in france, germany, italy, spain, the u. k. isn't some basket case outlier. in fact, the u. k. is doing rather well, and that's one of the reasons the g. 7 group has seen the u. k. forecast by the high growth rates than the rest of what he painted. all right, let's have a look at some of the, the stats that we've got here because there's, there's obviously a lot of different stance about how well all differently the u. k. is doing
3:48 am
compared to other european or other countries, and the political instability has been bad for the u. k. economy. i think there's no doubt about that. and it was already struggling because of briggs, if you follow some of the charts, the economic grass look at this one, the british pound, falling significantly against the dollar and taking its hardest hit in the past month after less trust is controversial. many budget, but it's been on the decline since breaks it. basically look at this on the case international business also suffering its total trade as a share of g d p falling by 8 percent, 8 percent since 2019. and the latest research suggest brags it has cost the u. k. economy, nearly $35000000000.00. 5 percent smaller were told the economy is at the end of last year than it would've been, had britain remained in the u. peter born is britain. just
3:49 am
one of many countries suffering the economic consequences of i don't know covey the war and ukraine, or is there a particular price? britain is paying for its political decisions, whether it's brings it or people coming in and out. number 10, there's 3 factors. you seem to have identified that the 1st is those global headwinds we can see that alex dean is quite right to point to that. then you have what is now being called by the financial times and others, the so called moron factor in british politics is that the conservative party is so out of control and employ such low key the caliber figures to embark on the ranged economic experiments that the markets no longer trust the british government to manage sensibly. now, and the 3rd is the general effect breaks it, going back to 2016 and that's our denial. you got challenge the triggers,
3:50 am
which you just read out the to deal with the current situation. we're dealing with the idiot factor, as it were a absolute collapse chaos off of the conservative party clearly and fits to run the local corner shop, let alone a g 7 global economy. and that is why i think you have seen significantly. and alex will have to accept that, but guilt market is taking bright at the prospect of boris johnson, a writ, returning to his lazy, incompetent, mendacious, deceitful school of government, which we had 3 years of from. and i 2019 to till he was for 3 months ago. and some of the, the stat look specifically like that c, p, v. looking specifically the volume of u. k. goods export, falling 14 percent in the 3 months to january 2021. at
3:51 am
a time when the global average was an actual rise of 8.2 percent, when you, when you compare the u. k. in some ways to the global economy, the u. k. is kind of singled out, isn't it? for poor performance? while i think this is it, i mean that we just heard from alexi trying to push the whole thing on the global situation. that true pays. this whole thing has been hit to us because of the government's policies. this is ram, the phone pound went to free vote when the more due date meant top. and if you look at that around what is happening to the families, then you realize that millions of families are struggling. and the reason is you've got inflation, which is gone now to 10 point one percent. you've got the and the price is going up . you got the full price of going up down the other side. you have 12 years of stat condition with the villages. that's what's causing that, if you call us all the market,
3:52 am
isn't there at all. and that's why these conversations can give us a chance. go go ahead. i can see a shaking groceries getting a bit. of course i can getting that straight by. that's our piece runs that the many projects are not by the last jobs liquidity, quoting speak to markets, 99, but inflation is running higher in every major european economy that it is in the k . so it's very curious for them to center for anyone to suggest from your premise that the u. k. is doing worse than is, and you cherry pick up a single course from 2 years ago. if i heard you right. trying to demonstrate it was particularly difficult for us as you've been referring to graph dr. humor on screen. but as you none, you guess down the line tom, see what you got on the screen in the studio. that's rather difficult to rebut that, but i rather, i rather doubt that if you're tracking the euro's performance against the dollar, you're going to see a hugely different performance to standards. i accept that the many budget that we had in the trust is a premier ship suit. sterling as well as speaking markets generally,
3:53 am
but more broadly, that is not true. the phenomenon international market is the dollar being so strong, not the pound being so weak. and if you compare that with euro or with yen, rather currencies, you will see an equal under performance against the dollar. and indeed the yen is now at its lowest blow against the dollar, unlike the pounds. so i think there is a moment which you have to say to you. so this conversation got a bit we, i with view is, can we haven't pulled anything out of, you know, there's no magic rabbits out of hats here. so i know this, i'm saying, even though not your viewers can have it, but i was letting you know that everybody can have a look at it and make up their own mind. that is because i can't see it. can i send me? you were going to somebody like got see ok. well, i've already out to you and if there's any issue that you had a chance to get it to have your word in, go ahead. peter. generally speaking though, the, the, the, the british performance of the styling, guilt markets, etc, was
3:54 am
a barrenness. after the re shambolic many by g alex dean can't get away from that. but by the way, we should, we should give, not a hard time to ask as well, you real that those statistics about the effect of breakfast on the economy and trade. and are these rural labor party policies as well? labor party. it doesn't challenge breaks it. it says that it was a good thing though, it has to live with it. and so labor has not offered a different sets of policies. i. e, we want to rejoin the single market or whatever they may be, than the conservative government. so ourselves claim that the conservatives are uniquely poor in that economic prognosis over the last, assess 7 years is, is, it doesn't really merits briefly because labor has not diverge from those policies, right? that the 2nd, i fact criticism isn't. there are so that the fact is,
3:55 am
a division in the closet don't have view division, demons in the closet, whether it comes to not only brags it. the issue of union strikes vote for reform. there are to divisive issues in the labor part. if it were, make it worth to make it to a general election and take home of the country. first, let's do the practice it. i'm not saying that i really think of what i said, what to do the backs it. in fact, it doesn't make sense. what i'm trying to say here is, how come, you know, got such a high inflation then i'm talking about also 12 years of age technician. and how is it that for the last 12 years, the last growth in the last 200 give? normally this is not all about breakfasted. there are other factors that i'm driving home. the simple point is the chaos that the heart of the government were failing. now, to deal with a fracture tissue spell because the whole idea of the bracket of the concert is have been pushing us, is the oven ready? be ready?
3:56 am
everything is going to be fine. ok you off. some of the question now is label also has its divisions and doesn't have, could be criticized, has been criticized. not having a clear vision when it comes to some of these issues, whether it's brags it, whether it's position on union strikes and voter form and so on. true or false? no, i don't accept that. i mean, look, we had a physician. the whole country was, do i did on breck said, the ha wanted to be a remainder half. who wanted to leave a policy. want to make it a towel. you gotta had a policy, haven't you? and that's been one of the christ, all the money we have we, we have, we have a clear policy that we now accept that as those of which we have got through that a friend them. but what i'm objecting to now is that this government is failing to even move forward with this because what we should be thinking about is how quickly can we really build up this? you cannot make a relationship with our neighbors, have them good and strong. how do we go into the commonwealth to have those benefits to improve that? how do we go to the wider world now?
3:57 am
if you're too busy fighting one another, creating chaos. you can do that and that is the failure. ok? we've got one minute last. i want to try and give it to pizza final full here. an opinion piece, the new york times the day entitled britain is a global laughing stock. what is all this turmoil doing to britain standing in the world? well, you know, i would greatly respect around the world member of g 7 in the un security. so expect sort of a response, but i cannot make managements, i know we, it's awfully sad. just read any form of paper really look the spiegel today, and we are more on this is the results. but chaos ruling. conservative party. now getting away from all right, alex, in 30 seconds. peter will forgive me for not having seen dash people today, although i can't help it all actually is facing some serious charges relating to
3:58 am
his time was matter of handling, which makes me wonder about germany's future too. but i mean, any body, his observed media coverage of the last 2 years will know quite how obsessed to dissolve the new york times as coverage as being. and it's negativity about the u. k. m for that to be approved for it's me just demonstrates a jihad in the post brick environment against the u. k. per se, which is one of the foremost exemplars. so i'm afraid it's not something that carries much water with me. all right, we're going to leave it there. thank you all for expressing your opinions on that one off style, han, pico born and alex dean. and thank you too for watching. you can see the show again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion head over to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. can also join the conversation on twitter handle is a j inside story. from me, sam is a dad and the entire scene go for now is good by ah
