10:05 pm
the momentum of soon ex campaign became unstoppable while than half the parliamentary party declaring their support for him. in the end, only he reached the required threshold of $100.00 nominations from fellow conservative and peace. i can confirm that we have received wall valid, horace johnson's decision to quit. the leadership race on sunday came as a surprise that left just penny mordant answer neck in the contest. she resisted intense pressure to do a deal with sumac and fort literally to the last minute to get past the threshold. but just seconds before the deadline, she to withdrew richie soon. i had one arriving here in dining street. soon like face is a daunting list of immediate challenges. those, the double digit inflation, the soaring interest rates as the grim state of the public finances, and a deeply wounded and divided party that he now leads. not to mention the question
10:06 pm
marks as to whether the conservative party actually has a mandate to govern any more wishes to not was rejected by his own party membership only weeks ago. the people in this country now deserve was to go to the electorate to put our policies forward about how we going to deal with this cost of living crisis it. the conservatives to put upon the british people and let them have about scary how we kind of tend to page and continued down the same track up. i feel like a prime minister, but we're just as good. so we looked at the word bars, but rarely talk to the board lawyer. if you look at all the other 4 person about offices, which are lawful during the summer leadership contest against trust. richie soon, i predicted many of the you case current economic difficulties. the economic landscape has turned even bleaker since then, but be in the country now, wait to hear what it's new leader and his government plans to do about it. whole brennan al jazeera downing street. i mean, a daunting task facing see an act now in restoring the case credibility, alan,
10:07 pm
how quickly can get to work. latins next well, 1st of all, his trust will hold a cabinet meeting, a final cabinet meeting as prime minister on tuesday morning. she will then emerge through the very famous door behind me at 10 downing street and make her final remarks as prime minister. she will then head to buckingham palace, where she'll meet king charles and officially hind in a resignation. as prime minister. he will accept that he will then invite richey soon, act to come to the palace, where he will be asked to form a government. at that point mister soon, i will come here and make some comments again in front of the very famous door. there will be more substantial than the comments we've had from him today. he has to lay out essentially his agenda, and it's a big agenda that he is facing. as paul explained, there are many problems in the country. he has already said that there are economic difficulties to face and he's aware that coming in and promising that everything is
10:08 pm
going to be great because we've got a new prime minister simply won't work. you can offer as many free rainbows and puppies as you want. but he's got to get down to work in handling that crisis that is impacting every one their cost of fuel is going up and they will see a rise in that over the next few months as winter bites. here in the u. k, there is a cost of living crisis where even buying food seems to be going up every week. so he's got to get a grip of that. and to do that, he's got to put his own team in place. there's unlikely to be a change at the finance minister. the chancellor of the exchequer is likely to stay jeremy hunt, his appointment in the final days of lisas trust. print list, trust is premier ship seemed to settle the markets and he won't want to do anything to spook them and make things much more difficult for the u. k. it's likely that his interior minister will stay in place, but there could be a change at the foreign ministry. james cleverly was appointed by las trust, but he openly supported boris johnson late on sunday. and so he may well pay the
10:09 pm
price for not backing ritchie sooner, but it's a big agenda he's got and one of the things he's got to do as you rightly points it is unite the conservative party. that's what's done for boris johnson. that's what's done for liz's trust. let's trust his political career. he doesn't want to be another casualty. before he gets the chance to lead his party into a general election. dizzying array of challenges. thank you very much. allen facial the latest there. from downing street banks, alan, of course he made his name as chancellor of the exchequer, and suffered a political blow over his multi millionaire wife's tax status. but what kind of prime minister will wish he soon at bay? son again go reports on that now. become the return of richey soon at this time as a leader of his party, he missed out till his trust in the last leadership contest, only to find himself less than 2 months later,
10:10 pm
back in downing street. this time at number 10, cynic is the 1st u. k prime minister of south asian heritage. indeed, the 1st from any ethnic minority in modern times, a hindu whose family came to britain from east africa. while his rise in british politics marks a milestone moment. a reflection of the case diversity. it is his personal wealth and privilege and that of his wife that has come under scrutiny effect many believe that would have won the decisions he would make running the country. there are so many challenges that he has to face. first of all, of course, he ran the economy that built up a lot of the debt that we're now talking about. and there was some episodes of discussion about hughes and his wife's tax affairs and the position of a green card which suggested, you know, i've gotten to check to see in case things don't work out in british politics, which a lot of people didn't like. most due, next, super wealthy wife's tax status played badly with voters. the parliamentary party regarded him as a safe option to guide the economy at
10:11 pm
a time of global uncertainty. synnex financial support packages to businesses hit by coven locked downs, marked him out as leadership material within the party. very, i think we're putting him on a collision course with then prime minister boris johnson. but they continued to work together through the various scandals that besieged johnson were in his position, became untenable and soon as publicly parted ways with johnson. let's make him all next leader. he threw his hat in the ring for leader of the party campaigning on a place that he was the right person to manage the economy. my message to the party and the country is simple. i have a plan to steer our economy through these headwinds. we need a return to traditional conservative economic values, and that means honesty and responsibility not fairytales, who was deeply critical of his predecessors unfunded tax cuts that plunged the
10:12 pm
