most powerful enemy yet, in avengers: infinity war. what mark kermode thought of it and the rest of the cinema and dvd releases in the film review. we are going to go back to our top story and have a look at the newspapers and what they are rushing out on it. with me now are the chief political commentator the independentjohn rentoul and the economist ruth lea. who has kindly been supporting me in our breaking analysis of amber rudd's resignation. we have some front pages. what is your take right now? you have had an hour to think about it. most of the papers don't add hugely to the story. we have just got, we have got amber rudd's resignation letter to the prime minister, which i have not had a chance to read yet. we will not know who the new home secretary is until tomorrow, an important part of the story. what we do know is what caused her resignation was what's

called an audit, which i think been to reading some of the document and realising that her position was unsustainable and she obviously did know that the home office had targets for removing illegal immigrants and she should not has said she didn't. i mean, one thing we ought to make clear is that it was in the guardian's latest leak. that was actually recycled, it was from nine days ago. although that did add to the pressure, just by laying it out again that she had promised the prime minister that she was going to increase removals by 10% ruth, we are hearing about an audit of documents that threw up memos that had been discussed. why she did have to resign was she gave the impression that she did not have a grip on the basic home office policy. do you have targets for getting rid of illegal immigrants or don't you? it is pretty standard

stuff or any home secretary. that is the main reason why she resigned. the secondary thing was about the windrush generation shambles, for wa nt windrush generation shambles, for want of a better word. that she was the home secretary in charge of the home office which did not seem capable of distinction between genuine illegal immigrants and people who have been here for decades. it is inept and insensitive and extraordinarily stupid. she was not on top of the tada 's policy, thatis not on top of the tada 's policy, that is the main thing, but the windrush fiasco added to the feeling that she did not have a grip on this department —— targets because policy. is it a change in political move that would pressure on their position? i slightly disagree with ruth. i think amber rudd was getting to grips with the windrush problem. but inexperience showed in the fact that when she made the mistake in front of the select committee she did not immediately say i am sorry, i miss but, of course we have

targets. she dug deeper into the i know nothing approach —— myth spoke. i think the windrush thing was a secondary aspect. it actually says home secretary resigns over windrush. i don't think she did that. that was an added aspect of her lack of control. hold that thought for one moment. there has been, as one can imagine, plenty of reaction on twitter to the resignation this evening. the shadow home secretary among that reaction. diane abbott clearly not surprised and now pointing the finger at the prime minister herself. labourmp

labour mp david lammy said this. the leader of the house, and realism, tweeted this. —— andre ellington. and in a similar vein, michael gove. let us get back tojohn and ruth on that. immediate reaction to those tweets. obviously from interesting key players, all of them. tweets. obviously from interesting key players, all of themlj tweets. obviously from interesting key players, all of them. i was thinking david lammy, saying that

she did not have control of the apartment, i think that is right. he was failing to make this into between genuine illegal immigrants that people want to have control over and that people want to have control overandl that people want to have control overand i see that people want to have control over and i see the windrush generation i think that is one of the major mistakes they could not seem to distinguish what was a genuine illegal immigrants and what wasn't. what about the question day and abbot races of the pressure on the prime minister? there is something called cabinet government. first and foremost your cabinet ministers are responsible to the department. you cannot expect the prime minister have a detailed responsibility right across the border of government. i think diane abbott is really pushing her lib dem. theresa may was the home secretary to put it into place —— pushing her lead there. putting in that theresa may was not home secretary. we are on the ball

tonight. let us look at the government reaction. an interesting one from michael gove. very fulsome in his praise and heavy she comes back soon. he is terribly polite. all his ministry colleagues these days. isn't it remarkable? he is very polite to everybody. he is generally very polite, except to boris one time. it is interesting that there is quite a lot of warmth towards amber rudd from conservatives. that does suggest she could come back if nothing else goes wrong. even people on the other side of the fence on brexit. exactly. it ina of the fence on brexit. exactly. it in a sense in one year brexit will be less of a divisive issue in the conservative party, one imagines. the labour attack is interesting, the important thing is that amber rudd had changed the hostile environment policy. she had changed

the terminology. it was called the complaint environment. she had very much softened, liberalised theresa may's approach, without doing it to obviously because she did not want to offend the prime minister. i think labour are going to be disappointed if they think that they can now turn the heat up on the prime minister, because i think the policy has changed and lessons have been learned and public opinion is, as ruth said, behind the windrush generation. where is the government and in terms of a reshuffle, a succession? well, theresa may is presumably thinking about this right now and we are all speculating like mad. david lidington was the other name that we were discussing. very safe pair of hands. very clever, adept minister, trusted by theresa may. he is deputy deputy prime minister at the moment. he took over

from damian green, i think. minister at the moment. he took over from damian green, ithink. that would not upset too many departmental positions. canada's pause uzbek election for a moment. —— can wejust pause uzbek election for a moment. —— can we just pause that speculative. we have the letter. amber rudd says in a letter to the prime minister, ifeel amber rudd says in a letter to the prime minister, i feel it is necessary to do so, she means obviously to resign, because i inadvertently misled the home affa i rs inadvertently misled the home affairs select committee over targets for removal of illegal immigrants. i should targets for removal of illegal immigrants. ishould have targets for removal of illegal immigrants. i should have been aware of this and i take full responsibility for the fact that i was not. now, is that the principles —— principled stand you want in a british government minister or is that a lack of kuske and, and inexperience issue? it is difficult to reflect on it so many days after

the mistake. she is doing the right thing, procedurally. if you mislead a committee. she is not quite admitting that she did know that the home office had targets. she presumably want to admit that now, because she is not home secretary any more so does not matter. but she plainly... she says she inadvertently misled. plainly... she says she inadvertently misledlj plainly... she says she inadvertently misled. i think it was inadvertently misled. i think it was inadvertent in that she plainly misspoke. she thought she was talk about a different sort of target. she did not make is clear. she managed to make things worse with every subsequent statement. and she was going to have given a statement tomorrow in the house and she must have thought about it and thought about it and thought no. i can't do it. the statement is to come tonight and be of a different order. she would have had a very rough time in the commons tomorrow. let us look at the commons tomorrow. let us look at the other future she is going to have tomorrow and for the days thereafter on the backbenches. what

will that look like? well, she is going to be one of the significant players, i suspect, going to be one of the significant players, isuspect, on going to be one of the significant players, i suspect, on the backbenches, if she wants to be. if she wants to be unhelpful to the prime minister, she could certainly put herself at the front of the campaignfora put herself at the front of the campaign for a softer brexit, which means the campaign to keep us in a customs union with the eu. i suspect she won't do that. she will leave that to nicky morgan and dominic grieve and the others. but there is a majority in the house of commons for a customs union. she will be free as a backbencher to be part of it. a subject it to your heart. what will happen to the balance on brexit within that inner circle of government from now on without her there? whoever takes over from her. we we re there? whoever takes over from her. we were speculating earlier, someone like james brokenshire, who was

northern ireland secretary and had to resign because of a cancer scare, he may come back. ithink to resign because of a cancer scare, he may come back. i think i was eight remainer. it would leave the balance of power pretty well unchanged within the cabinet ——i think i was a remain. i tend to agree withjohn on think i was a remain. i tend to agree with john on amber think i was a remain. i tend to agree withjohn on amber rudd, i don't think she will be a troublemaker. there are two reasons, firstly she resigned, she was not sacked like nicky morgan all many others, i think the second thing is if she is thinking of the future, she does not want to fall out with too many people. this is probably a good opportunity to mend fences. i think she should have a good political future. i think she is very capable. do you think she will wa nt very capable. do you think she will want that, issue summary who saw her political career lasting not use by decades? -- somebody. she is plainly an ambitious person. jealously wa nted an ambitious person. jealously wanted to serve the country. but she was promoted very quickly. —— she

obviously. i forgot she was very briefly energy secretary under david cameron. before that she was a junior minister. she has only been in the cabinet for a short time. and has risen very, very fast. and obviously her lack of experience showed tonight. that issue over lack of experience in such an enormously important, stressful, difficult job, imean, important, stressful, difficult job, i mean, what are theresa may's options? what is your view on what your options are tonight in terms of a replacement? because you do not wa nt to a replacement? because you do not want to lose two home secretaries in short succession. the new labour macro government got through home secretary is quite fast, charles clarke, john reid, they seemed to go every two years. it is a very difficult department to run. i think theresa may will be looking for someone who can actually handle that

department. i think david lidington isa department. i think david lidington is a possibility. james brokenshire has experience of immigration. i think sajid javid would be an interesting symbolic appointment... is the prime minister brave enough to do that symbolism? yes... it does not have a huge amount of experience in running a department either. not have a huge amount of experience in running a department eitherlj in running a department either.” think she realises that the home office is such an appalling department to have to run. i think she will go for the safest pair of hands she can find. i thinkjames brokenshire and david lidington would be safe hands. sajid javid, possibly, i respect him, have a lot of time for him, but i suspect he has not quite got that weight. the other thing, apart from thinking who has got the weight, the experience, the safe pair of hands, is how can i avoid destabilising or reshuffling so much of my cabinet that i create more uncertainty? that is it. theresa may did not want to
