10:45 pm
existing ministerial home because the ministerial home for the housing communities and local government department is in the same department as the home secretary. amber rudd did something similar. it is a bold and ready for work, ready for action starts, but this is a big day for him. he was hotly tipped, yesterday he was talking about how it could have been his family caught up in the ring —— windrush scandal, and his chances increased when amber rudd stepped down last night and great to see the first home secretary from an ethnic minority background taking over. this is a big test for him. he has had some crises in his briefs before, the g re nfell tower crises in his briefs before, the grenfell tower crisis which he had to deal with, and the port talbot steel plant, which put the steel industry into crisis, but he came out fighting today. he went to the
10:46 pm
house of commons and he was not afraid of saying to labour, you don't have the monopoly on sympathy for the people that have been affected by the windrush scandal and he wasn't afraid of challenging theresa may's immigration rhetoric of hostile environment which has been picked up by some of the papers. many of the papers are on the same story, but the daily mirror, mayday mayday, that is the front page, trying to turn the focus onto the prime minister. there is a feeling that theresa may has questions to answer and she was out today and was asked on camera about targets for illegal migrants and she a cts targets for illegal migrants and she acts he said, she did answer, —— g actually said that she did answer, she said members of the public want to be reassured that we are dealing with people who are here illegally but this won't be an easy time for her by any means. but as we know, we know there are already other things
10:47 pm
that will be preoccupying her and her government very quickly because the main topic is a whiz brexit. the important thing is for sajid javid is to get on top of this —— the main topic is always brexit. she has been the store bought for this approach to immigration going back to 2010. —— she has been the store walked dairy— macro she had a lot of battles with george osborne and david cameron and boris osborne, about this approach to immigration, but it is only now that she is prime minister, and her approach is being challenged again. sajid javid is distancing himself hostile environment and boris johnson has called for an amnesty to
10:48 pm
illegal immigrant sam baird clashed over that, so we illegal immigrant sam baird clashed overthat, so we might —— illegal immigrant is and i clashed over that, so we might see a softening of this —— they clashed over that. sajid javid also was not keen on stu d e nts sajid javid also was not keen on students being put into the official numbers and so that is an area we already know they disagree upon. the times is picking up on that point, saying sajid javid will end the hostile era for illegal immigrant is. that is quite a task.” hostile era for illegal immigrant is. that is quite a task. i would not be holding my breath for a big shift in the underlying policy. what we saw today was a realisation from some in the tory party that if you give talking the hostile environment rhetoric there is a danger you get tarred as the nasty party, which is a phrase theresa may came up the first place. sajid javid still back
10:49 pm
the underlying policies of making it difficult for illegal immigrant is to be in the country so we will see a slight change in tone but it will be baby steps and the actual underlying policy will be there for a while. he said he will look at home office structures which is something theresa may did not do when she was in thatjob, so he clearly thinks change is needed and it will be interesting to see what he comes up with. there has been the understandable outcry about the windrush generation, and many people have asked, do you want a government that will be tough on illegal immigrants and would think that theresa may was right. that is the interesting thing, whether part of what happened last week was that potential issue of getting caught between windrush and talking about removal of illegal immigrant is. one of the big things is how that is dealt with but already in the last 24 dealt with but already in the last 2a hours there is the calls starting for id cards which was off the table
10:50 pm
so for id cards which was off the table so there is a lot which will be coming forward and many people think they have the answers and we are in very strange times in terms of how you deal with this particular saga and how do you make sure that people's identity is formally established and maintained because you can't have situations where your files have got rid of and have caused the problems that we have seen. another story on the front of the times, you were talking about the image of the conservative party. anotherformer minister the image of the conservative party. another former minister saying that government should discriminate against job applicants from government should discriminate againstjob applicants from eaton. yes, this is positive kimmince gully —— disk immolation, this is from justine greening, she went to a cwmbran sieve school herself —— this is positive discrimination, this is from justine greening, who went to a
10:51 pm
comprehensive school. she said if you get three bs from eaton you are not as impressive as someone who gets the same from a part of the country where schools are not as good. she said you need to give this contextual approach to people from different backgrounds. it will be the kind of thing that is dismissed as political correctness by many of her colleagues on the tory benches but i think this is an interesting idea and it might reach out to people from different backgrounds just ahead of the local elections. that has been a big problem for the conservatives, they are seen as a party and government dominated by posh boys who went to eaton. they have educated i9 posh boys who went to eaton. they have educated 19 prime minister ‘s, at eaton, most recently david cameron, butjustine greening went toa cameron, butjustine greening went to a comprehensive school in yorkshire. the idea that there is an
10:52 pm
old boys club in parliament and in various industries and sectors is still very real. i have my doubts about how this contextual recruitment is possible. justine greening saying there is software to enable you to look at people's grades and where they went to school but i'm not sure with the data protection stuff coming in, that we will be able to get round that. i don't dig employers will be able to step around in the way that she is digesting but this is an interesting idea ——i digesting but this is an interesting idea —— i don't think. digesting but this is an interesting idea -- i don't think. there was a big defeat for the prime minister in the house of lords which the daily express has picked up on. brexit sabotage, they call it. the lords have been leading the way in many senses in challenging the government's approach to brexit and there was a big vote in the commons today. the house of lords, a group
10:53 pm
of peers from different parties, put down the amendment to make sure that if when parliament votes on theresa may's deal, parliament votes against the deal, parliament decides what happens next, and that is significant because until now the prime minister has said if you reject my deal the crash out with no deal and that has been part of her leverage, almost a threat, but now they can say, if you reject the deal, we can decide to stay in the eu, and it puts the power in parliament's eu, and it puts the power in pa rliament‘s hands and eu, and it puts the power in parliament's hands and that takes away a big piece of leverage for theresa may. she will have to try and overturn that when it comes back to the house of commons. this is where we are heading. we have lots of arguments about what was going to happen, what pa rliament‘s of arguments about what was going to happen, what parliament's role was going to be but the reality is, these kind of votes by showing exactly where parliament believes itsjob is exactly where parliament believes its job is and exactly where parliament believes itsjob is and some of exactly where parliament believes its job is and some of those rebels, i9 tory rebels in the lords
10:54 pm
including the likes of michael heseltine but also the pattern and david willetts. —— lord patten. what happens when it gets to the commons will be very interesting, but it will, we will see more of this, this is about parliament exercising its right. will amber rudd be joining those rebels? that will be an interesting one. laughter a couple of other stories. the daily telegraph, this extraordinary presentation by benjamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, he looked a bit like some open university video from the 19705, as he brings up this presentation claiming iran lied. a stunning thing for a leader of a country to do, to stand on a stage with a cordless microphone and walk up and down and point that props and hafeez huge ——
10:55 pm
have these huge signs, iran lied, he wants to get this message out and it isjust targeted at wants to get this message out and it is just targeted at one person, donald trump, who is making a decision on the iran deal in the next couple of weeks. alongside this is this amazing espionage effort where they have claimed to have stolen hundreds of thousands of files from this iranian bunker so this is a potential coup for the israeli military and espionage services. it could have far-reaching consequences, with donald trump looking at this and deciding whether to extend the deal. absolutely. the trump administration saying afterwards, he has been an hundred percent right. like he needed convincing! laughter just a brief time to talk about
10:56 pm
