if the result it always feels worse if the result is that close when you lose. so yes he fought a good campaign. people we re he fought a good campaign. people were looking already and saying hang ona were looking already and saying hang on a minute. they all dropped out, a few of them said they were going to look for boris johnson but few of them said they were going to look for borisjohnson but he's on the one up by three. some were saying that borisjohnson support test tried to getjeremy hunt on the ballot. you're dealing with one of the most sophisticated elections in the most sophisticated elections in the country. sophisticated or duplicitous? i think sophisticated. the results are what they are. both jeremy hunt and michael gove are friends of mine so i'm delighted that we will have a final. i know jeremy hunt two will give boris johnson a very good one for his money. because he's not a done deal. is that true because we have seen all the surveys and pulling up tory grassroots members and they seem to be in favour of borisjohnson. grassroots members and they seem to be in favour of boris johnson. they only ever give a snapshot, we need to look at the evidence. jeremy has
6:51 pm
top poles as deep south candidate to ta ke top poles as deep south candidate to take on boris johnson. top poles as deep south candidate to take on borisjohnson. that's what he would do over the next four weeks. we must never take any vote for granted and we don't want to see an accommodation it has to be a robust debate and we have an opportunity to put forward our ideas as well as making sure we deliver brexit. and, little jeremy hunt challenge borisjohnson because he has been accused of not answering detailed questions yet. he now has a chance to do that of course because they start on saturday, little jeremy hunt really be robust in his questioning of boris johnson? he has been robust in every high thing that he's dead —— attended which is why this report from my colleagues has gone up and up and we have got four more weeks now, up gone up and up and we have got four more weeks now, up and down the country not only willjeremy make sure he holds boris speak to the fire but it will be the conservative members as well. and below back jeremy hunt now, do you want to see and try to get answers out of johnson? absolutely. i think we have
6:52 pm
got four weeks ahead of us and jeremy is a star performer. and now we will start to hear more about their ideas and the scrutiny will be greater and if you look at his record as foreign secretary i think it's exemplary. you think that's terry party members will ask difficult questions?” terry party members will ask difficult questions? i am sure conservative party members will ask different —— difficult questions as they should do and i think everybody wa nts to they should do and i think everybody wants to see both the candidates questioning very closely on their ideals notjust questioning very closely on their ideals not just about questioning very closely on their ideals notjust about brexit. this has got to be more than just about brexit. do you think they well, there was some concern that another five weeks debate or argument is not good for party unity. conservative members are very diverse. we have very different constituencies and very different constituencies and very different constituencies and very different concerns and passions and when you need to lower local events, we are a test that day in, day out so they will definitely test the next leader of our party and we wa nt the next leader of our party and we want to make sure the next prime minister answers the question they
6:53 pm
need answered. what about you how would jeremy hunt bring this divided party together? this is the beauty ofjeremy, he is the unity candidate and he's got people supporting him from across the divide and he was a brexiteer and he was also unemployed as well. he crosses the bridge basically within the conservative party and the need to do that. we've only got a very short majority here we need to make sure we can unify party and also bring the country back together as well. boris johnson's team who are in chair at the moment, they would say boris johnson managed to get support, some of the people supporting him are quite surprising. yes, they all got support from all wings of the party but you know, jeremy— particularly as foreign secretary, he has demonstrated that he could be a real statesman, and he and some of the challenges he felt he faced when he was secretary of state. very, very difficult. sojeremy was secretary of state. very, very difficult. so jeremy is was secretary of state. very, very difficult. sojeremy is very good at dealing with this sort of situation andi dealing with this sort of situation and i know we will want the party to
6:54 pm
come together and we will want the country to come together. thank you very much indeed for speaking to us here. some people are looking ahead to those, the first one in birmingham on saturday. yes, i give her asking the question of whether there might have been some skulduggery and it seems boris johnson's the one tojeremy hunt to be the last standing challenger, how is that dynamic going to wait out over the next coming weeks? i think the thoughts was that becausejeremy hunt was the on the remains side of the argument and did not vote for brexit although he is now fully signed up for it. a lot of people feel when he guest of the tory grassroots they will take one look at him and say that is exactly what the reason he was and don't want the same thing again, therefore he's an easy an opponent for borisjohnson. now borisjohnson's easy an opponent for borisjohnson. now boris johnson's team easy an opponent for borisjohnson. now borisjohnson's team and denied that there is any organised move to safety disappointed as a look, make sure you vote forjeremy hunt, don't
6:55 pm
vote for michael gove. they had com pletely vote for michael gove. they had completely denied that but people are looking at these and thinking it does not seem that feasible but only three people moved from the scented job it came to the borisjohnson camp and they wonder whether others might well have moved from boris johnson over it to the support jeremy hunt. now course, of people might have done that off the bat, i spoke to two borisjohnson support to those who did vote for other people because they wanted other reasons but there were some suspicion here. they will have to get over that of course michael gove will have to get over that and move on and go back to his dayjob while the other to travel around the country over the next four weeks arguing with each other and trying to get answers out of each other and trying to press a tory party members to vote for them. many thanks for the latest from westminster. and each of the contenders have treated the result of that last balance, borisjohnson has a message saying he is very honoured to have secured more than 50% of the votes in the
6:56 pm
final ballot and he thinks everyone for their support saying he looks forward to getting out across the uk and to set out his plan to deliver brexit. jeremy hunt has also treated saying i am the underdog but in politics surprises happen as they did today i do not doubt the responsibility on my shoulders to show my party how we deliver brexit. and michael gove has also treated saying he is naturally disappointed but he is still part of the campaign he and his team ran, huge thanks to my brilliant team campaign team, it's been an honour to be able to set out a vision for the future of the great country. michael gove they are of course now outside of the running eyes that fights between jeremy hunt and borisjohnson goes up jeremy hunt and borisjohnson goes up around the country. let us catch up up around the country. let us catch up on the weather prospects from christ. we have got some big changes in our weather over the next couple of days as it becomes much drierfor most
