was no great surprise. defeated by borisjohnson. boris johnson was favourite to win from the start — and now he's been voted in as the new conservative leader. for many, the former foreign he will officially take office as prime minister tomorrow — secretary was the face of brexit, after a meeting with the queen the figurehead of vote leave, and that probably appealed at buckingham palace. to the two thirds of conservative borisjohnson gained around double members who gave him their support. the votesjeremy hunt did he said he'd take britain out from conservative party members. of the eu by the end of october in his victory speech, mrjohnson and his acceptance speech was a cocktail of optimism promised to unite the country — and humour with the and deliver brexit by the deadline slightest dash of detail. we know the mantra of the campaign of 31st october. that has just gone by — but he's already seen some ministerial resignations — in case you've forgotten — and there could be more — you maybe have — it is deliver brexit. as several cabinet members have already said they can't unite the country and defeatjeremy corbyn. support his "do or die" pledge and that is what we are going to do! to leave the eu. iain watson has our first report. and i know someone has already pointed out, deliver, unite and defeat was not the perfect acronym for an election campaign since it spells dud but they forgot the final e, my friends, for energise. he walked in first but finished he seems to have already

second, jeremy hunt was decisively defeated by borisjohnson. united his family though some have very different views on brexit but he romped through some of his for many, the foreign secretary was other policy ambitions as well. the face of brexit, the we are once again going to believe in ourselves figurehead of vote leave and that and what we can achieve. like a slumbering giant we will rise probably appealed to the two thirds of conservative members who gave him and lose the guy ropes their support. of negativity with better he said he'd take britain out of the eu by the end of infrastructure, more police october and his acceptance speech and fantastic full fibre broadband was a cocktail of optimism and humour with the slightest sprouting in every household. dash of detail. we note the mantra of the campaign theresa may promised to support that has just gone by — borisjohnson from theresa may promised to support boris johnson from the backbenches. in case you've forgotten — you maybe have. it is deliver brexit. unite the country and defeatjeremy corbyn. and that is what we are going to do! not everybody has been so supportive. the announcement of the new conservative leader was made here but the real challenges begin and i know someone has already tomorrow when he moves just around pointed out, deliver, unite the corner into downing street. and defeat was not the perfect borisjohnson has said he will take acronym for an election campaign us off the hamster wheel of doom, since it spells dud but they forgot as he calls it, and get britain out the final e my friends, for of the european union energise. by the end of october. of the european union if he doesn't do that his time in downing street may be limited, if he does but without a deal he seems to have already united his family though some have he will be facing notjust

very different views the opposition but the unofficial opposition, senior members on brexit but he romped of theresa may's government who are through some of its other policy ambitions as well. we are once again prepared to rebel against him. going to believe in ourselves and what we can achieve. anotherformer foreign another former foreign secretary believes boris johnson another former foreign secretary believes borisjohnson could face like a slumbering giant we will hurdles. arise and lose the guy ropes there are at least 50 tory mps of negativity with better infrastructure, more police and fantastic full fibre broadband who will not support no deal. sprouting in every household. the announcement of the new conservative leader was made here but the real this is one minister who will not challenges begin tomorrow when he moves just around the corner serve under boris johnson. into downing street. borisjohnson has said he will take us off the hamster wheel of doom, as he calls it, and get britain out of the european union by the end of october. there is a clear majority if he doesn't do that his time in downing street may in the house of commons that doesn't want to leave the eu without a deal. be limited, if he does that will become very but without a deal he clear in the autumn. there may well be ways will be facing notjust in which parliament finds an ability the opposition but the unofficial to make it clear that that is binding upon opposition, senior members the new prime minister. of theresa may's government who are prepared to rebel against him. the education minister resigned today. she was concerned britain could leave the eu with no deal.

i wish the new prime minister well in his negotiations with the eu but i have always had grave concerns about leaving the eu there are at least 50 tory mps who without a deal in place. will not support no deal. this is one prominent boris johnson supporter is looking down on those who choose to criticise him. one minister who will not serve there is no scope for under boris johnson. there is a self—indulgence and individual mps expressing their views. for the conservative party to deliver for our country we have to unite, come together. clear majority in the house of commons that doesn't want to leave boris johnson's opponent admitted the eu without a deal. that will become very clear in the autumn. he was disappointed but called for unity, and this was his there may well be ways in which diagnosis for his failure to win. parliament finds an ability to make this was always going to be uphill it clear that that is binding upon for us because i was someone who voted remain. the new prime minister. the we have a prime minister education minister resigned today. who voted remain and a lot she was concerned britain could leave the eu with no deal.|j of conservative party members felt this was a moment when you had to have someone who voted for brexit she was concerned britain could leave the eu with no deal. i wish the new prime minister well in his in the referendum and that was, in retrospect, a hurdle negotiations with the eu but i have a lwa ys negotiations with the eu but i have always had grave concerns about we were never able to overcome. the future is uncertain for larry leaving the eu without a deal in the downing street cat

and for the country. place. one prominent boris johnson the new prime minister has is brother looking down on those who a wafer thin majority. borisjohnson moves in here choose to criticise him. there is no tomorrow, but it is not clear how long his tenure will last. scope for self—indulgence and individual mps expressing their views. for the conservative party to deliver for our country we have to unite, come together. boris our chief political correspondent vicki young is at conservative hq. johnson's opponent admitted he was disappointed but called for unity and this was his diagnosis for his borisjohnson has failure to win. this was always boris johnson has been borisjohnson has been there. it he still there? yes, he is still here. going to be uphill for us because i was someone going to be uphill for us because i was someone who voted remain. we we were told he would be here for a have a prime minister who voted remain and a lot of conservative couple of hours. due to address party members felt this was a moment conservative backbenchers that are when you had to have someone who infor pm conservative backbenchers that are voted for brexit in the referendum in for pm and the house of commons. he is presumably talking to staff at hq and working on assembling his new and that was, in retrospect, a hurdle we were never able to cabinet, his top team. we understand overcome. the future is uncertain that he has already appointed mark for larry the downing street cat and spencer as his chief whip. the whips for larry the downing street cat and for the country. the new prime are in charge of party discipline minister has a wafer thin majority.

and make sure mps voting the way borisjohnson they are supposed to and support the minister has a wafer thin majority. boris johnson listen minister has a wafer thin majority. borisjohnson listen here tomorrow but it is not clear how long his government when they are supposed to tenure will last. and of course a very difficultjob when there is really no majority for the conservatives in the house of commons because it is a hung parliament. it is going to be a very we can cross the conservative party difficult task. mark spencer has spent time in the whips office headquarters. boris johnson hasjust before the appointment was made arrived. we are told he is going to spend at least a couple of hours public. conservative mps said he was here. he will be speaking to staff popular with mps which always helps. and working on the reshuffle, who is a lot of chat about what kind of going to be on his top team. he has prime minister boris johnson a lot of chat about what kind of prime minister borisjohnson is had quite a lot of time to think going to be. his friends have talked about his time as mayor of london. a about this at the weekend. most of lot of them making the comparison his team are pretty confident he was with ronald reagan saying he has a going to win but it will be figurehead, he sets the tone and he interesting to see how he puts in makes the decisions but gets around key positions. interesting to see ten people who can make things what happens to jeremy happen behind much of the template key positions. interesting to see what happens tojeremy hunt who is currently foreign secretary. he will that they are talking about. they be the chancellor? sajid javid could will say that is what borisjohnson did as mayor of london but his ta ke be the chancellor? sajid javid could take that role. how many women will critics will point out it is

be in senior positions? will it be different being prime minister and it isa more diverse than in the past? all different being prime minister and it is a very different prospect. his critics look at his time as foreign of those questions for borisjohnson secretary and the some of the gaffes to deal with not least because the had very dire consequences and it deadline of leaving the eu, the end of october, october the 31st, there was not a success and natural. the is not much time if he wants to critics will say that he is not renegotiate a deal or get some kind of no deal which most likely will really u p critics will say that he is not really up to the job. he has spent look like the deal that theresa may the last few days with his close people putting together his new already has. if not he has said he government team. what sort of will leave the eu without a deal at cabinet are we expecting? is this the end of october and that is where going to be an inclusive cabinet the end of october and that is where the controversy were taken because that might include remainers or will there are so many in the tory party it be pure brexiteers? will he give and parliament that will not accept it is government policy, which is jeremy hunt a job? who will be the why people like philip hammond have chancellor? lots of questions. no said they will resign, they have said they will resign, they have said they will resign, they have said they cannot serve under boris one knows the answers. the problem johnson for that reason. he wants to is there may had what she had a balance cabinet in terms of those try to notjust johnson for that reason. he wants to try to not just talk about brexit. who were for remain and those who it is going to be hard to get away work for brexit. boris johnson from that issue but he has talked who were for remain and those who work for brexit. borisjohnson has to make a decision about whether he

about education, better funding for has people who are willing to go along with what he wants which is education, having more police, that he is prepared to leave at the broadband infrastructure projects, all of those things that he wants to end of october without a deal. with try to get on the front foot but it people like amber rudd, who seems to have changed her mind on that, is the issue of brexit that will dominate for the next few months. whether they be included ? have changed her mind on that, whether they be included? she is one thank you. of the few senior female mps, with me now is political cabinet ministers, it has been in commentator iain dale. senior roles, and i am sure he would you chaired ten of the hustings and wa nt to senior roles, and i am sure he would want to reflect that kind of diversity. others seeing the its leadership contest. did it go as diversity. others seeing the diversity might come from people you were expecting? roughly. i thought it might be tighter because from ethnic backgrounds, sajid a lot of people gravitated towards jeremy hunt but this is an emphatic javid, for example, but they would victory for boris johnson. no have to sign up to borisjohnson's jeremy hunt but this is an emphatic victory for borisjohnson. no one can say two thirds of the vote is vision and the possibility he would leave without a deal, and for some anything but emphatic. what did you of them that is going to be too think of his campaign? it started much. philip hammond says he will off not well with the questions about the rise and you questioned resign as well as other ministers. that is the big question for boris him about that, but that he managed johnson in the coming days. to escape the banana skins? he did with me now is the shadow because a week after that nobody was transport secretary, labour's andy mcdonald. talking about it, which was interesting to say the least. his

campaign management see their borisjohnson is saying he is the strategy was vindicated. they kept and wrapped up in cotton over the man who can defeatjeremy corbyn in parliamentary stages. he hardly did an election when it comes. it could be soon. do you fear borisjohnson any interviews. they will say we won as the tory party leader?” be soon. do you fear borisjohnson as the tory party leader? i fear him as the tory party leader? i fear him so any interviews. they will say we won asa as the tory party leader? i fear him as a prime minister. i think he is so that vindicates the strategy. i think you are going to see a different borisjohnson. dangerous, reckless, incompetent, and he can be trusted, and his first think you are going to see a different boris johnson. you think you are going to see a different borisjohnson. you are going to see him out and about far more than any recent prime minister, instincts are to deliver a tax cut for the richest in our society. he a bit like tony blair, he will be everywhere, and i do not think he doesn't give a care about people in will hunker down like gordon brown my constituency. this isjust 01’ doesn't give a care about people in my constituency. this is just a tory party elite game. i think this is a will hunker down like gordon brown or theresa may. also in terms of what he said because he kept saying sense of entitlement. less than the rhetoric was strong, do or die 100,000 people have put the next we are getting out of the ego. does prime minister in place. more people voted for ed balls in strictly! how he not? i think it does mean that and he is going to bejudged on it. the electorate willjudge him and conservative party members will many people chosejeremy corbyn? judge him and the erg are going to hundreds of thousands. and millions judge him and the erg are going to judge him and if they decide he has of people will have the ability to fla ked judge him and if they decide he has flaked or gone soft retribution will

vote for the labour party should they wish. that is how democracy be very swift. does part of him on works and that is how it should work the deal and can he get a deal? can on this occasion. party is elect he succeed where theresa may has their leader. the fact the conservative party membership voted failed? i can only think ofjohn for a leader. there is nothing unusual in that. no, but it is a redwood who said i do not want a very small number and we had at such deal. in an ideal world we would a crucial moment of our country's leave the deal. but as hunt said if history never in my lifetime has a deal looks impossible there is there been a more delicate time and only one way to go and the question we now have a prime minister who, is whether parliament is going to amongst all the people in the house frustrate that and if so we can look of commons, he is the most unfit forward to a general election at the individual to be our prime minister, end of october. a lot of people and people are right to be saying we do not know what boris extraordinarily worried about the johnson thanks. we have heard the future of our nation. unless they rhetoric but him in number 10 could are future of our nation. unless they a re leave future of our nation. unless they are leave voters in which case they be quite a different proposition. we will be delighted probably. he is saying they will deliver what they haven't heard detailed plans from voted for three years ago, come what either of them in this campaign. on may, by october the 31st. those brexit i wouldn't expect to because the last thing boris johnson voters did not vote to trash our brexit i wouldn't expect to because the last thing borisjohnson was going to do was publish a 100 page economy and see our manufacturing base reduced to nil. on my part of paper on his negotiating strategy.

the world the steel industry will be that is why theresa may failed because she gave away too much of affected as well chemicals, automotive and the pharmaceuticals industry. if he gets his way and the so—called strategy, even though it is kind to collect a strategy. i hope there is a document somewhere does a sweetheart deal with donald in his bottom drawer that he is trump and gets up at our nhs to going to take out and he knows exactly what he is going to do american predatory interests we are because there isn't much time to do in deep trouble so this is a it. michel barnier constantly tells worrying day for the uk. it is an us it. michel barnier constantly tells us the clock is ticking. the clock existential threat to the uk. has almost checked and he only has whether we survive this as a unified three months to do this. could he get no deal through parliament? we kingdom lord knows but we are in peril because of the election of have heard philip hammond and others are going to be the new rebels on borisjohnson the back benches who are going to be peril because of the election of boris johnson today, and peril because of the election of borisjohnson today, and i am extraordinarily worried about it. fighting it. yes, i think the way what if he goes and he gets a deal? is there any way you could support a these people have behaved... they a lwa ys these people have behaved... they deal that he might negotiate with always criticise the erg for their disloyalty but they are copying the the european union if they were erg tactics. david gauke is one of prepared to reopen the withdrawal agreement? if that's possible between now and the 31st of october the nicest people in politics but to i would be extraordinarily surprised. if he was able to secure announce he had resigned just as borisjohnson got a customs union and a single market announce he had resigned just as boris johnson got to announce he had resigned just as borisjohnson got to his feet i thought was a disgrace. the party is deal where we have got regulatory

alignment that would sustain the as disunited as the country and the conservative party reflects the mood tra nsfer of alignment that would sustain the transfer of goods across this of the country. everyone wants continent of ours, that would be worth listening to. the chances of eve ryo ne of the country. everyone wants everyone to come together but nobody that happening are nil and so we are can see it happening. as many as 50 heading for a catastrophic crash out tory mps opposing no deal. can he under boris johnson which heading for a catastrophic crash out under borisjohnson which would be ruinous for us. isn't it true that get it through parliament? no deal as the default. legally we leave the at least boris johnson ruinous for us. isn't it true that at least borisjohnson knows what people think about brexit? they eu on october the 31st. the still don't really know where the labour party stands on brexit. up president of france could insist we leave on october the 31st. they say against there is no deal and up we might extend it but i am not sure against there is no deal and up against any deal that comes out of every single european country will the house of commons. that has to go wa nt to every single european country will want to extend at this time. he back to the people in a second could rely on the french to do his referendum and the labour party will dirty work for him. wouldn't that be campaign to remain in the european ironic? we talk about disunity. does union. i hope that is clear because no deal means no steel. as jeremy borisjohnson tried to restore unity with his cabinet choices? is he going to pick remainer clinic as corbyn a remainer? he voted for well as brexiteer? the key will be remain. he did not do much campaigning. if you look at his

what will happen tojeremy hunt and diary he did a lot of campaigning. that would be the first conversation. you would think that it is folklore that he didn't. in conflict with iran jeremy conversation. you would think that conflict with iranjeremy hunt would be staying where he has. he did a his heart of hearts, jeremy corbyn isa his heart of hearts, jeremy corbyn good campaign. i think most people is a remainer? of course, because thatis is a remainer? of course, because that is their possession we have got would say he deserves to stay as to asa foreign secretary. there is a that is their possession we have got to as a party. we work to a thought he could be promoted to democratic process. we wanted to respect the outcome but no deal was chancellor. he was an entrepreneur. said at the time and another i don't know if you pick that up over the course of the campaign. he ma nifesto said at the time and another manifesto that that was anathema. we could not have a no deal exit from has got some radical thoughts on economic policy. i don't think he is the european union as it would be going to accept anything else. he catastrophic for our economy. and k. has said he will accept a job under boris but i cannot imagine him going let's now speak to news correspondent phil mackie, back to what might be deemed as a who isjoining us from worcester, where he has been looking into the reactions among second rank cabinet role. it will be fascinating to see. grassroot conservatives. as we've been hearing, the biggest challenge facing the new prime minister is brexit, and in particular trying to avoid this is one of those key seats. it a hard irish border. let's speak to emma is very high on the labour target. vardy at stormont. it is going to be an important

election battle ground at the next what is the reaction thereto the general election. it voted to leave news that borisjohnson has become party leader and will become prime by 53.7%. not far off the national average. interesting to spend the minister tomorrow? boris johnson becoming the new prime minister will morning with grassroots conservatives at the conservative have huge implications for northern association watching the news as it ireland. that backstop had been came in and getting their reaction to the idea that their new leader negotiated by theresa may but she couldn't get it through parliament. and the next prime minister would be borisjohnson. those arrangements to avoid checks on the irish border, people have borisjohnson presents the greatest appeal to the biggest number argued over here for months and of people across the country, and i think he has the ability months, but with borisjohnson to squeeze out the brexit party. taking the helm it means brexit i supported jeremy hunt going off on a whole new direction. because of how decisive his answers were, and how well i felt he stuck to remind people that reason it is so difficult is because you are to how he felt about certain issues. taking one part of this island out and i'm still happy of the eu club and putting it in a with boris johnson as leader, because i find that he's... different straight of trading arrangements and trying to keep that his charismatic nature is obviously very well— known, similar trade between businesses north and south of the irish border but i quite enjoy how he takes and avoiding any cheques. boris johnson wants to go back to the eu what people want and goes with it. and ditch the backstop and sort it i think out of him and jeremy hunt, out ina he's definitely the one and ditch the backstop and sort it out in a free trading agreement. the to beat jeremy corbyn,

eu has said no to that which leaves which is the biggest threat to the conservative people feeling we are heading for no party at the moment. and i think he also has a good deal. there has been reaction coming relationship with donald trump, and if anyone can assert their position against donald trump into day so far. a very quick in any negotiation, i think it congratulations from the dup who would be borisjohnson. have been theresa may's allies in how did you vote? i voted for boris. and you're happy with..? government, propping up the yes, very. administration because she needs and why? their votes because of having such a because i think he's dynamic, i also think it's a little bit like marmite, you either like him tiny majority in parliament. quick or loathe him, but i think congratulations from the dup saying he is a dynamic statesman. they are looking forward to working with boris johnson they are looking forward to working with borisjohnson to secure the union. that fundamental principle i'd love to see a good labour leader one day to keep that the dup fights for. that the tories on their toes, confidence and supply arrangements but i think for the time being borisjohnson will be good, i think he'll sort out brexit and i think he could win brokered with the dup is going to be up brokered with the dup is going to be upfor brokered with the dup is going to be up for renegotiation. we will have to see what sort of price the dup an election for the tories. ask for and what sort of that is the key thing, because it is negotiations they broke with boris johnson because he will need their a labour target, number 44 votes to get anything through that is the key thing, because it is a labourtarget, number“; on that is the key thing, because it is a labour target, number 44 on their list and a general election, and parliament. from an irish they need that number to become the nationalist parties, broadly largest party and therefore to be speaking the big divide on brexit is the next government. one of the

nationalist politicians and parties have been very opposed to brexit in people i spoke to in the any form and particularly no deal conservative association earlier said he is like marmite. i put it to brexit which they fear could cause the most disruption here on the her that some people won't like and very much and it is those people you island of ireland. the leader of the have to get to vote conservative at sdlp was very negative towards the idea of boris johnson the next general election and she said she felt he would persuade them sdlp was very negative towards the idea of borisjohnson becoming pm saying he was going to push the administration towards a and that is what he will hope to do. catastrophic cliff edge, so mixed he did not come here during the reactions here with this new boris leadership campaign. the five people johnson era head. i spoke to this morning did not also put borisjohnson to begin with but why today they were all pretty happy scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has today warned that he was the next leader and the borisjohnson that she has "profound new prime ministerfrom concerns" about him getting that he was the next leader and the the keys to number ten, new prime minister from tomorrow. and has called for another thank you. donald trump has congratulated boris scottish independence referendum. let's speak to lorna johnson on becoming the new pm, gordon in glasgow. saying "he will be great." we can cross to our correspondent what is the reaction in scotland to the nurse borisjohnson has won the gary o'donoghue in washington. we know that these two men are leadership? the leader of the friends, aren't they? yes. i would scottish conservatives has

congratulated him of course. from say that possibly true. they have nicola sturgeon the first minister had some issues in the past, bear in very different comments. she did the polite congratulations but it was mind. when donald trump talked about very brief and the rest of her comments were warnings and questions london having no—go areas, boris johnson had a pop at him over that. she said she had about his borisjohnson also had a go at him character. she described boris johnson is a charlatan who had no over the attempt to introduce a ban political principles beyond on people from muslim countries. advancing his own interests and she there have been disagreements in the urged him to rule out a no deal past but i think borisjohnson's brexit. she warned him that he should be in no doubt about the lies than fulsome if you like strength with which she and others endorsement of sir kim darroch the will oppose leaving the eu without a ambassador here when those leaked deal. remember that a majority of emails emerged criticising the trump administration will have done no people here in scotland voted to harm, and we know that the president remain as part of the european union spoke to borisjohnson at the end of in that referendum three years ago last week by telephone, a clear indication that they had no doubt or so. in that referendum three years ago whatsoever who would be the next or so. recent polling suggests that british prime minister, and does in the event of no deal brexit up to these things always without the choreography of what boris johnson does when he goes through that black 60% of people here in scotland would door tomorrow is key, and i have support independence. nicola sturgeon said that borisjohnson absolutely no doubt one of the first

would be unable to resist the things he will do is put on a call to the oval office. there has been a pressure for a new referendum on scottish independence because remember that the power to have a lot of talk obviously about the united states and a possible trade deal with the united states being referendum on scottish independence lies with the westminster one of boris johnson's deal with the united states being one of borisjohnson's top priority government. borisjohnson so one of borisjohnson's top priority so be an early visit to washington lies with the westminster could be on the cards.” government. boris johnson did mention scotland in those brief so be an early visit to washington could be on the cards. i think there comments but he will be alert to the is no doubt about that. there is a dangers and challenges he faces with bit of a toss—up here or not boris the separate second union. he has johnson does a european tour of capital is to try to reopen the talked about adding the title minister for the talked about adding the title ministerfor the union deal, if you like, renegotiate the talked about adding the title minister for the union to that of prime minister and setting up a deal, if you like, renegotiate the deal, or whether he comes here union unit to look at all policies first. a visit to washington will be through the prism of the devolved very early on the agenda, no nations and has said he will protect question. he will want to present a the barnett formula, which is the united front here in the oval funding formula for the nations as office. you will want to get some well, but there are difficult times warm words from the president about ahead for boris johnson that trade deal, which is the great well, but there are difficult times ahead for borisjohnson when it sort of peace dividend at the comes to the relationship with scotla nd comes to the relationship with scotland and perhaps a sign of that is that the very first protest that brexiteer clinic have been promising we can see against borisjohnson's all along if it gets to the other side of brexit. there will also be premiership is going to happen before he even officially takes on difficulties. bear in mind at the

the role, and that will be later on moment top of the foreign policy this afternoon in glasgow. challenges that borisjohnson will and what about the view face is the question of iran, this from wales, where there's a by—election in nine days? beyond a single hustings held impounded tanker. the tension with iran that is happening at the in cardiff, issues relating to wales barely featured moment. that tension also exists in in the leadership contest. the relationship with the us over sian lloyd is in cardiff. what to do about iran because britain is with its european allies are not wanting to end the nuclear deal that the americans pulled out of last year. boris johnson has to the first electoral test for the new prime minister is learning with that appoint a new ambassador. that could by—election in a few days. back to bea appoint a new ambassador. that could be a pivotal role. there was speculation it could be somebody like nigel farage. yes. i think that today and the here and now and the response there has been to the fact that boris johnson response there has been to the fact would be enormously controversial. that borisjohnson is the new leader we will see what he does. yes, he of the conservatives. from the will get to take, and there will be a lot of scrutiny, and i am sure he leader of the welsh conservatives, he supported him, he said he thinks will want to go through the absolute he supported him, he said he thinks he will do a greatjob. we need a normal channels, because the last thing people want people to be able to see is that he has rolled to the charismatic, uplifting positive leadership and boris will deliver, he said. i spoke to the secretary of president was my pressure and picked assertive some sort of person who is state for wales who felt that the scale of borisjohnson's victory

associated in any way with that reflected the response that he was seeing on the ground and he feels point of view. he wanted to be that boris johnson straight down the line and i am seeing on the ground and he feels that borisjohnson will bring pretty sure of that and that will be unification from within communities. he says he has a sense of purpose, something, a big choice that will be scrutinised closely in the coming that he is optimistic about post days. they cannot leave that vacant for too long because it is a key brexit britain. what the ministers relationship and you cannot have that empty for long. thank you. in cardiff they were saying was that so, in mrjohnson's inbox, they felt whoever took the hot seat brexit is absolutely his priority. in number10 they felt whoever took the hot seat chris morris from bbc in number 10 should relate a no deal reality check is here. remind us what he has brexit because they believe that said about it during his leadership campaign. would be catastrophic for the welsh economy in terms of exports, tariffs on welsh lamb and beef, and also he said to die, come what may be a they believe it will lead to fewer living. in some ways we do not know jobs here. we know that boris what he is planning to do about brexit once he gets into number 10. johnson has refused to roll that out but in terms of the response that no. that phrase is possibly the most has come from the first minister of single striking thing he has said wales he has said that he is looking forward to meeting him and one would during the campaign, that bigotry would leave the eu by october the imagine that during that meeting he 3ist would leave the eu by october the would want to talk about something 31st or die, deal or no deal, which

that came up on the hustings in implies whatever the consequences. cardiff, where boris johnson that came up on the hustings in cardiff, where borisjohnson felt... it means that you need to seriously suggested that london ministers might have some say in how the cash start ramping up preparations for living with no deal. a lot of that replaces the eu structural preparation was done in the run—up funds would be spent here in wales. to the end of march. a lot of that has been put on the back burner. he thank you. is going to bring it back to the with me now is the conservative mp front burner very quickly that he has also said he thinks of no deal and european research group member andrea jenkyns. we re has also said he thinks of no deal were to happen it would be vanishingly inexpensive. that is not something the majority of economists borisjohnson as the party leader. think. it is not something a significant chunk of his you have a brexiteer at the helm. backbenchers think the office for budget responsibility. he has said will he pursue what he said he would in the campaign? brexit come what during this campaign he thinks no deal is unlikely and that he can get this deal. the problem is what he may. dig you believe in? yes. i have wa nts to this deal. the problem is what he wants to do is something the eu has already rolled out. dump the irish a lwa ys may. dig you believe in? yes. i have always said only a brexiteer can backstop. not to tweak it or issue deliver brexit. he was on the live campaign and he will deliver. the legal qualification, get rid of it. energy and the rented today was amazing. if we had had that the second thing he has said he wa nts to positivity three years ago we would the second thing he has said he wants to do as with all the divorce be in bill for £39 billion that can

positivity three years ago we would beina positivity three years ago we would be in a better place. it teatro brexiteer? he wrote two articles easily‘s government has said it before the referendum, one doesn't want to pay. the eu has been supporting leave and one supporting remain. do you think wholeheartedly saying don't think we are going to talk to you about trade of europe up he isa remain. do you think wholeheartedly he is a pure brexiteer? he was on all those agreements because the first thing we want to talk to about the leave campaign and he helped us after no deal would be the irish win the referendum so i am glad he border and the money in citizens' is about to go into number 10. what rights and things which have been about the possibilities of a deal? a put on the withdrawal agreement. it lot of people focusing on the is an incredibly tight schedule.- possibility of no deal but could he get a different kind of deal?|j one moment in the canteen he held believe get a different kind of deal?” cap and talked about how the eu had believe so. i have been on the brexit committee since its inception messed around with other kippers. and it has been a car crash the weight been approached. the author seeing the eu has made me put in a of 39 billion before even the scope of 39 billion before even the scope of the deal. you do not want to frozen bag to send this to approach any negotiation in that consumers. we looked into this, we way. boris is going to do or die, talk to the european commission and the food standards agency, and they this is what we want, take it or agreed it was not any yoga leave it. the eu have said they are regulation that enforce the idea that had to be some sort of not going renegotiate the withdrawal refrigeration, it was a uk

agreement. they have not needed to before. we have had a weak prime regulation. it doesn't really matter minister who has bent over backwards for his supporters whether it was true or not. they like the fact he to ca nter to minister who has bent over backwards to canter to the ego. boris is a was holding the stop in the air and democrat who believes in delivering on the well of the people. you think railing against brussels bureaucrats and he has a history of this. go they are bluffing? without a doubt. back to his time as a journalist in but as negotiations. they have a brussels, bendy bananas, italian stronger negotiating team previously condoms, the list goes on. it is ok and that is about to change. they if you are a clearly my daily said they would not bail out greece sandy that in the end. once they see telegraph journalists working in it as sandy that in the end. once they see itasa sandy that in the end. once they see it as a different approach, a whole brussels but is it ok when you are the prime minister? because you are new team, new cabinet behind him, we under scrutiny that even he has not will hear them start talking. you experienced before. thank you. are ina will hear them start talking. you are in a strange position in the erg because you were the rebels and effectively you are in power. the new rebels are people like philip hammond and ebony remainer is. they the dup have put out a statement saying i have spoken with boris johnson and congratulated him on becoming leader of the conservative party. we have discussed their shared objectives of strengthening we re hammond and ebony remainer is. they were always against a manifesto every pa rt shared objectives of strengthening every part of the union ensuring

commitment which they stood on so we have been true to the party that the 2016 referendum result is ma nifesto. have been true to the party manifesto. should boris johnson when implemented and seeing the he formed his government include revolution restored in northern ireland. the confidence and supply people from all sides of the party, agreement between the conservative remain as well as brexiteer, or do you want him to be pure brexiteer? party and the dup remains —— anybody who signs up to his cabinet devolution restored. has to sign up to delivering brexit forecasters expect temperatures to rise throughout the week, with a heatwave predicted to bring temperatures above 35 degrees including no deal. they have to celsius over the next few days. support no deal? if it comes to on thursday, it's even possible temperatures could beat the highest that. also delivering on the well of ever recorded in the uk, the people, uniting the country and which was 38.5 celsius set in faversham in kent, in august 2003. defeating jeremy corbyn and the last thing was energy. we need an energy cabinet. it has been stale. we have seen cabinet. it has been stale. we have seen the and for too long. a period joining us now is caroline davies of five or six weeks with no votes. we need this fresh approach. our from regent's park. country is crying out for it and boris is the man. it is hot. what should we be doing?

here on. envisage changing it. would they in london, pavement thermals reveal the shimmering effects of the heat. shift? in the past they did a little better they try to accommodate theresa may by changing the backstop it is fine for some rendered trying to get that extra who can cool off, but, for elderly people, this can be an oppressive time. assurances so there rendered trying to get that extra assurances so there is precedent but age uk recommends that i don't think we are seeing any sign if you have an older family they will fundamentally change the member or neighbour that you check in with them during the hot position which is that there has to bea weather to make sure position which is that there has to be a solution to the issue of the they are keeping hydrated, that they are coping, border in ireland, there has to be a wearing light clothing and keeping the blinds shut during solution to those other legal the day to keep their home cool. problems thrown up by the uk's exit, in clacton on the east coast, the only wind was offshore. the heat here sapping otherwise the eu will not budge. people, pets and plants. well, this weather, thank you. we absolutely soak the ground about three times a week, two to three times, and if we didn't do that within a week in this weather, they would alljust die, and that would be the end of them. so you have got to forecasters expect temperatures keep on at them all to rise throughout the week, the time. with a heatwave predicted to bring cross the country and you temperatures above 35 degrees find cardiff baking, along with many others. celsius over the next few days. a time for relaxation, but also responsibility. on thursday, it's even possible temperatures could beat the highest public health england are warning ever recorded in the uk — about pollution levels, which was 38.5 celsius set along with saharan dust that may in faversham in kent, bring some troublesome particles.

after britain's last in august 2003. mini heatwave in may, this really is summer's second act. joining us now is our reporter caroline davies from regent's park. it is hot. what should we be doing? the heat has been so extreme that it is hot. what should we be doing? public health england have issued a it is hot and everybody has been enjoying their lunch sitting in the sunshine and enjoying the heat. just heat alert. level three. level four turn the corner as london zoo. the is an urgency. it is particularly lions have been kept cool with blood releva nt is an urgency. it is particularly relevant if you are elderly, for babies or young children or if you ice lollies so plenty of different measures in place to try to keep have a long—standing health people enjoying this weather. it is complaint. the advice goes for pretty much everybody. stay so people enjoying this weather. it is so hot in england and particularly hydrated. that is notjust about in wales that public health england having a bottle of water, it is also have announced a heat alert. level about the sort of foods that you are eating, having things with high water content like strawberries, three. that means it is particularly melon and cucumber. if you want to releva nt for three. that means it is particularly relevant for people who are elderly, get a good sleep the advice is to children and young babies, and also have a cool shower before you go to if you have a long—standing health

bed. it is particularly difficult at condition. there is advice about the moment because it is expected to what to do during the heat. stay be very humid which means it is hydrated. that is notjust about difficult for sweat to evaporate from your body leaving your thoughts drinking water. it is about the sort of food that you eat as well so during the night. during the day, to having strawberries, cucumbers, have loose clothing and possibly a things with a high water content heart or as much as you can to try which will keep you hydrated as to stay in the shade and out of the well, particularly before you go to bed, think about having a cool direct sunshine. whenever there is shower or bath and that will help an extreme weather event there is a you during the night because it is question about climate change and very humid which means it is its impact. it is very difficult to attribute a heat wave directly to difficult for sweat to evaporate and climate change. that is not really kill you down. when you are out and possible however according to the met office over the last ten years about wearing loose fitting or so met office over the last ten years or so the hot periods have been clothing. there has been some longer than before and there is also suggestion about whether some of these events could be climate change a suggestion from scientists that back to back it ways to increase related. heatwaves happen in the with rising temperatures. summer related. heatwaves happen in the summerand can related. heatwaves happen in the summer and can happen however there has been in the last ten years a doubling in the number of warm thank you, caroline. caroline in spells in the uk. it is very regents park. and staying with the heatwave, let's get even more news difficult to attribute any form of about the weather with darren bett. heat wave to climate change in

someone the liberal democrats can work with? jeremy hunt and borisjohnson he with me now is the new lib dem would have supported ? jeremy hunt and borisjohnson he would have supported? by the time michael was a limited we were the leaderjo swinson. members so my vote wouldn't count congratulationsing on winning the andi leadership, could you work with a members so my vote wouldn't count and i didn't tell anyone. what sort borisjohnson government? leadership, could you work with a boris johnson government? boris of prime minister will borisjohnson johnson is a brexiteer, his plan make? that is to be decided. during will be disastrous for our country andindeed will be disastrous for our country and indeed we see very little the debate it was is it boris who is detail, even in his speech today, of how he intends to do it beyond the the debate it was is it boris who is the london mayor boris who we saw bluster and bravado of just how he intends to do it beyond the bluster and bravado ofjust saying leading the vote leave campaign? i it is going to be fbi. frankly think the appointment of mark britain deserves better, this is a spencer as chief whip is a good sign man who only cares about one thing that he is determined to bring the and that is borisjohnson. man who only cares about one thing and that is boris johnson. what if party together. mark is not known he were to renegotiate a deal with for being one way or another, he is brussels? you don't know what that a very talented whip and we wait to see when the other appointments might contain, how do you know you wouldn't support it? he is talking u nfold see when the other appointments unfold over the next 24—48 hours. would you urge him to bring in about delivering brexit, what we need is to be able to keep the benefits of eu membership, the remainers to have a broad spectrum liberal democrats have been clear, we are the strongest party of remain will be an ideological brexited kind and that is why we had such of cabinet? i hope not the latter. i excellent results in the european elections and why thousands have

been joining co—chair the one nation caucus of elections and why thousands have beenjoining the liberal elections and why thousands have been joining the liberal democrats in the last few weeks. mrjohnston conservative mps. hopefully with people like amber rudd and mark styles himself as a one nation conservative, do you think he could be that, aside from issues round the hancock and jeremy hunt. i think it european union? do you think in any is important all views around the party are represented around the way he can reunite a divided cabinet table. boris will have a clear view of what he wants to do on country. i don't know he styles brexit, which i think he will explain to people as he appoints them and if people don't feel they himself as that as effect the ivly. can sign up to that they are right to say that is not for me and he is he he talks about water melon miles right to say i want someone else in my cabinet. he says he is prepared and talking about elite athletes for a no deal, my cabinet. he says he is prepared fora no deal, do my cabinet. he says he is prepared for a no deal, do or die by 31st of glisten about wet otter, in a derogatory way, this is not a man october. if people don't want to do trying to unite the country, this is that it october. if people don't want to do thatitis october. if people don't want to do that it is right for them not being not a man who is serious at all. in the cabinet? there is difference these are difficult times, we are in between someone actively running to a national state of crisis with no deal, and there are some that wa nted no deal, and there are some that wanted that. the negotiation is brexit, if you look round the world, over, the eu won't budge, we'll go these are times for somebody who for a no deal, will address them with seriousness, over, the eu won't budge, we'll go fora no deal, i not somebody who is trying to over, the eu won't budge, we'll go for a no deal, i don't think boris is in that category. he made it pretend to be a poor stand up comic. clear he did want a deal, it what do you think the chances of absolutely his preferred solution but he won't take no deal off the table. that is the judgment people

this election precipitating a general election in the next few will have to make. realistically, months? it is certainly possible. at what are his chances of getting a deal where theresa may couldn't get the moment politics is difficult to predict, clearly i will be a deal through? as borisjohnson got campaigning hard and working with a deal through? as borisjohnson got a better chance? i think he has, people from lots of other parties for a people's vote. i think that is just partly a new leader has new still deliverable and that of course political capital to expand, in isa still deliverable and that of course is a way in which we would give terms ofjobs and other issues. many people the chance to say whether they like the deal on offer or people voted for him thinking we whether they would prefer to stay in would win a general election if we the european union which is what the got to that stage. i've been on a liberal democrat also be campaigning commission looking at the irish for, it is possible we could have a border issue, not to have the backstop as it is currently general election, i would welcome that because borisjohnson is a constituted. but we don't know how disaster for the country and on the boris will take his ideas forward. world stage, and therefore i welcome so, you think that his sort of the opportunity to take him on in a general election. and do you think government is going to be quite an that might be soon? are you making inclusive government? because a lot preparations? of course. have you of his rhetoric, frankly, during the got the planning under way? of campaign hasn't been very inclusive? course, we are going to be more i think it has at times. i went to ambitious than ever before, right one of the hustings and actually he now in our politics there are did makea one of the hustings and actually he did make a play of wanting to unify millions of people who look a boris the party. he made it clear in a johnson, having been elected prime minister with the conservative party going off to the right, look at

jeremy corbyn, as leader of the letter we sent him he said his two labour party, going off to the left, domestic policy priorities are both brexiteer, both not able to social care and school funding and i ta ke both brexiteer, both not able to take on problematic issues within agree with those. will he have time their own party, whether it is to that? i hope so. one of the islamophobia or anti—semitism and m ista kes to that? i hope so. one of the mistakes of the last three years is people want something better and deserve it. as liberal democrats i we don't appear to have had time and determined we give them that. the for many people, people in my am determined we give them that. the liberal democrats, and the word constituency, brexit is an uppermost democratings, doesn't that suggest in their mind. they do care about social care and their child's that you should obey and people will be saying this as they listen to funding and nhs funding. i think the you, that you should obey what the boris we are going to see someone who is confident enough to appoint people said in that referendum? ministers, set what he wants them to democracy didn't end on 23rd june do and then let them get on with it. 2016. and what we are looking at that is what we haven't seen over the last three years and i think now, is something which is so deaf thatis the last three years and i think that is what we have missed. nicky trooped what was talked about then, morgan, thank you for your time. european leaders have been you know, —— deferent to what was swift to congratulate talked about. we were told we would borisjohnson — among them the european commission's recently elected president ursula get the best deal, it would be the von der leyen. easiest deal, it is very different to that, i don't believe there is a first of all, congratulations to borisjohnson to be majority in the country for any nominated as prime minister. specific type of brexit. and if that is the case it would be hugely i'm looking forward to having a good working relation with him.

irresponsible... but there was a there are many different and difficult issues majority. not for a specific form of to tackle together. brexit. we were told... there was a we have challenging times ahead of us. majority for leaving the european union. . i accept i think it is very important to build up a strong majority for leaving the european union. . iaccept there majority for leaving the european union. . i accept there was, we heard theresa may say what that and good working relation, because we have the duty to deliver meant was brexit meant brexit. three something which is good for people yea rs on meant was brexit meant brexit. three in europe and the united kingdom, years on the brexiteers can't even agree on what brexit means so we so i am looking forward need to be able to have confidence to working with him. that the public support the course well, joining me now of action that the government is taking andi of action that the government is taking and i think only way to gain is bronwen maddox, the director that confidence, is through having a of the non—partisan think tank people's vote on that brexit deal, the institute for government, with the option to stay in the eu. and i'm also joined by tom swarbrick, former adviser if they voted again to leave, would and spokesperson for theresa may. thank you forjoining us. so he has you endorse leafing the european union? iam you endorse leafing the european union? i am not going to change my view. would you support leaving the got in, not surprising. 66% of the eu? would i support it, be positive vote. what happens now? i wasjust about it. i am not going to change talking to nicky morgan about what my beliefs. would you vote for a... kind of government, cabinet he forms. is that crucial? cabinet will no because i was elected on a firm be the first step everyone looks at ma nifesto no because i was elected on a firm manifesto pledge to fight for to see whether he is just, as you scotland's place in the uk and the are discussing, going to go for the uk's place in the european union and thatis uk's place in the european union and purest side, the purest that is what liberal democrats are here to do. that is the mandate we interpretation of brexit and a

have, but if... even if the people no—deal brexit at that or if he will spoke twice and said they wanted to try and bring remainers in with him. leave twice you would still oppose he is going to have to do that if he that? i am going to do what i was won support from parliament. we have had all this talk in the past couple sent here to do, which is stand up for the things i believe in and the of months about if he could go round parliament's back, principles of working initially, of months about if he could go round pa rliament‘s back, shut with other countries, to tackle the of months about if he could go round parliament's back, shut it out of shared challenges that we face, the decision about leaving europe with no deal. but i think he whether that is the climate wouldn't be well advised to do that, emergency or international terrorism. we need to be working even though parliament is struggling with our closest neighbours, to be to stop him. so he will want to make some over two years, think to a more able to protect our prosperity and security, but if people have the choice, then at least we have moderate part of his party but we confidence that people wanted to go don't know. do you think parliament can stop him if he feels no deal is down that path, and at the moment, asi down that path, and at the moment, as i say, i think there is no reason his only option, do you think to believe that any specific brexit parliament can stop him?” path, whether it is is a no—deal his only option, do you think parliament can stop him? i think thatis parliament can stop him? i think that is a very open question at the brexit or theresa may's brexit commands the support of the country moment, which is the high wire of and given that the government says balancing both sides of the debate is one way of trying to stay on the it will be catastrophic for our economy, there will be significant high wire boris johnson will have to hits to our economy, to job, walk on in the next few months. i economy, there will be significant hits to our economy, tojob, to our think a lot of potential cabinet public service, to our national ministers are walking round a post security, how could which go down that path without knowing that is ofjacob rees—mogg, what people want? thank you very ministers are walking round a post of jacob rees—mogg, michael ministers are walking round a post ofjacob rees—mogg, michael fallon has been touring the tv studios, he might be back in time for a job for much indeed.

cabinet. that will be very thank you very much indeed. important. their speech on the steps of numberten was important. their speech on the steps of number ten was for theresa may a moment to show the country that she understood the reasons for leaving there is mr onson, fresh from and that she prioritise those people as part of her government. it bought hearing he has won the party leadership with 66% of the vote. 78% her quite as part of her government. it bought herquite a as part of her government. it bought her quite a lot of broad support. quite a long period of time, she had quite a long honeymoon. boris johnson could do the same tomorrow, depending on the tone and context of of the party voted, it was a two—one the speech he gives. do you agree, can you buy himself a honeymoon?” victory overjeremy hunt, who he think he will have a honeymoon a nyway think he will have a honeymoon anyway but i think what he needs to thanked for the campaign, of course, be doing is reaching out to the tomorrow he will become prime minister of the united kingdom. that country, indicating what the flavour of his government would be just in is him going in, he has a lot of case there is a general election and thatis case there is a general election and that is possibly going to be forced work to do in terms of forming his on him. we are already seeing the new group of rebels. we had the erg team, well, let us doeses can what happens next with the snp leader. now the rebels are philip hammond and his mates. and dominic grieve today saying he might leave the conservative party if it starts heading for no deal. i think the

crucial question is what boris what is your reaction to the news? johnson is going to say about the it has come to pass, he got 66%, two course of brexit that he is going to ta ke course of brexit that he is going to take and whether or not he seems to thirds of the vote. i don't think be going for no deal. he said again there was any surprise on that, i and again in the campaign, do or think everyone expected that. boris die. i think it needs to be clearer johnson has put himself forward as the candidate to defeat the brexit now about how serious he will be about trying to get a deal from the party so we have seen the conservative party adopt a harder european union and whether, where position, both the candidates were the areas of compromise will be. saying they would take britain out rhetoric as you are campaigning for the topjob is rhetoric as you are campaigning for of the eu on a no—deal basis, sew the top job is one thing, now we need to know his plan.” something we see as catastrophic. the top job is one thing, now we need to know his plan. i think it means in all likelihood we are what i think is interesting is that parliament last week, voted by a heading for a general election. it is something borisjohnson might majority of 51 votes to stop boris relish. jeremy corbyn still in power johnson proroguing parliament. we in the labour party and there are issues to press him on if you are have have had ministerial campaigning against him. at clearing resignations and we have had one the decks ahead of general election conservative ex—minister talking by talking about education funding about a motion of no confidence. and social care, the big things that this is unprecedented a prime he will spend his energy and time trying to deal with whilst in number minister elect, before he gets his feet under the table is facing ten. a general election when? there opposition notjust from labour isa feet under the table is facing opposition not just from labour and the liberal democrats, but from ten. a general election when? there is a period of time towards the end within his own party. do you think of september when there is enough time to hold a general election, get you can stop a no—deal brexit if it the result and go out on the 315t of

comes to that in i am more confident october. it would happen quickly, he than i have ever been n a sense that majority last week against would have to make a decision for proroguing parliament is a proxy for that to happen quickly unless it is forced on him but it doesn't feel a majority against a no—deal brexit, like, with parliament the way he is, andi that he can either get through a no a majority against a no—deal brexit, and i would say to parliamentarians, deal or actually do enough to the across the chamber, to recognise the damage that no—deal will do. we had current deal to pass muster with the the report from the office for erg. would he and the conservative budget responsibility, that came out last week, showing the uk would be party not fear the brexit party? ina last week, showing the uk would be in a recession if there is a no—deal they would, and labour, even though brexit. it is the height of they would be put on the spot and come up with what its position on irresponsibility to inflict economic brexit was. boris johnson harm that. is what a no—deal brexit come up with what its position on brexit was. borisjohnson would also have to say what his position on brexit wells. it is all very well would do. do you think parliament saying i will try and get a deal and will have a say on stopping it?” believe we can do. we have to. a end if not go for no deal but we would be weeks away from the deadline at in the legislation which is already that point. i think the country there, i accept the default position would want to know a bit more about is we will be leaving on a no—deal basis in the light of borisjohnson these crucial things. would want to know a bit more about these crucialthings. do would want to know a bit more about these crucial things. do you agree not being able to do deal, so it is we are looking at a possible september election? only if it is a serious situation, and parliament has got take its responsibilities. i forced on him by the rebels in the believe it will. i believe we will next few weeks, otherwise my sense is he might try to avoid that. he find a way of bringing a bill has waited a long time for this forward they will amend the withdrawal agreement, that will stop

moment. so he doesn't want to throw up withdrawal agreement, that will stop up coming off the cliff edge. so it away! whisked away from him in this will be a brief on mood he will weeks... gordon brown was in a similar position, in a way, the get. the idea that borisjohnson is dilemma of going for an early snap going to be negotiate a new deal is election. so was theresa may, and simply for the birds. michel barnier she went for it and it didn't go has made it clear again as the eu very well first of the idea, the has made it clear again as the eu has done on many occasions the fa ct of very well first of the idea, the fact of calling the election wasn't withdrawal agreement will not be the problem, the problem is how the opened up. there will be discussion about the political agreement but election campaign was carried out. the same might be true of boris the fundamentals will not change, so johnson or not. the fact is we are at an impasse. boris won't be everything is up in the air now. a able to fix it. parliament will have lot of power is concentrated on to do itsjob. borisjohnson and lot of power is concentrated on boris johnson and what decisions he able to fix it. parliament will have to do its job. thank you for being makes in the coming days and how he with us. manages the high wire act. british mayor of london sadiq khan has politics now are so volatile and stated that he hopes unpredictable, it's very difficult mrjohnson's experience as mayor for any party leader to make any of london himself will mean the pair can have a successful work sort of decision? i think boris relationship and improve johnson is going to want to get a the policing of the city feel for what he might get from need londoners to be on my side, i brussels. unless he is being very cynical and has no intention of need london mps to be on my side. having those talks. but he has spent london council, businesses on my time in brussels, even though a lot side. parent, grandparents, to of that was poking fun at the eu. i think he wants to go there and there persuade this prime minister why it is crucial four for have been some noises out of the

persuade this prime minister why it is crucial fourfor our persuade this prime minister why it is crucial four for our country's wellbeing for us to have the cuts reversed that were made nine years areas they might be compromise in. i think he is going to want to have ago. the cuts was an experiment in those talks first. thank you both shrinking the size of the state and very much indeed. that is the latest it has failed. when you look the evidence, one of the reason, not the from here at westminster. boris only reason, one of the reasons for johnson we think is still at the increase in violent crime is the conservative party headquarters talking to party staff around the cuts made to prerentive service, corner. but we will be back with much more from westminster a little public service, youth services as later on. right now, back to rebecca well as policing. one of the reasons in the studio. why londoners are being priced out in a moment we'll have of london because governments have all the business news, failed to make sure there are but first the headlines on bbc news... affordable home, one of the reasons borisjohnson is elected as the new conservative leader, why we don't do as well as others and will become the next uk prime minister. when i comes to the abilities of mrjohnson has promised to deliver brexit by october the 31st, city halls to affect thing, we reone saying it's "do or die". of the most centralised democracies. the new eu commission president borisjohnson as prime minister should understand that because he warns of "challenging times ahead". has been a former mayor. what i hope and a heatwave is spreading is combination we get on very well. across the uk, with temperatures i hope that will mean we can get expected to climb to well over 30 degrees celsius this week. rewards for london, but the fact of running this city will mean from his

administration more support than previoused administration. good afternoon. i'm jamie good afternoon. i'mjamie robertson. with me now is the mirror's political editor pippa crerar in the business news: and the sun's political huawei has cut more editor tom newton dunn. than 600 jobs in the us at its research unit futurewei. pippa, what happens next, first of the telecoms giant said the job cuts were due to "the curtailment all let us talk about what cabinet of business operations caused borisjohnson by the us". all let us talk about what cabinet boris johnson forms? does this is after washington all let us talk about what cabinet borisjohnson forms? does he go for put the chinese firm a solid brexiteer cabinet or bring if all wings of the party this is on a trade blacklist, which restricts its ability what everybody wants to know because to trade with us firms. it will be tell about what sort of government he will lead, whether he unions have called on employers to allow staff to work flexibly is going to try and unite the party and have a relaxed dress code terre by bringing in some so call during this week's uk heatwave. the tuc said people should be able to travel at different times or work remainor cabinet minister, hanging from home and wear more casual on to people like matt hancock and clothing — adding that it was in their interests to provide staff with a cool and comfortable work environment. amber rudd seeing he was going to be the man coming top, decided they could live with it, or whether he supermarket sales have fallen will bring in the likes ofjacob for the first time in three years, but it was largely due to a record rees—mogg, steve balker, some of the splurge by shoppers last year on traditional summer favourites, like ice cream and alcohol especially during the men's more hard line brexiteers and give football world cup. the brexit wing some faith he is sales over the last three months serious about his do or die pledge. fell by 0.5% compared

to the same period last year. from what i am hearing it will be a balance. balance. we are told to expect a few more remainor faces so, if you want an investor's that you would otherwise be led to reaction to the election of borisjohnson believe. and probably a more diverse to the post of prime minister, then the feeling is mixed. the pound fell as soon cabinet, maybe a few younger face, as the announcement happened, maybe a few people who have been fell a bit more and now has started loyal to borisjohnson maybe a few people who have been loyal to boris johnson for a climbing back up again. maybe a few people who have been loyal to borisjohnson for a long time and are getting their reward but none of these for that. how do you see the top movement's are huge. the stock market climbed after mrjohnson was made leader of the conservative party. jobs? willjeremy hunt keep hisjob. much of that movement that is in borisjohnson's gift. it is driven by the big exporters, unilever, bp, shell who profit from a falling currency because they make their profits has been a closer margin of victory, in foreign exchange. you also have to remember the announcement was hardly unexpected, so you wouldn't expect you know, it is within his gift to decide whether he does or not. if he any dramatic reaction. is trying to bring the party russ mould, investment director together, he is trying to unite it it would be helpful to bring in someone at aj belljoins me now. it would be helpful to bring in someone likejeremy it would be helpful to bring in someone like jeremy hunt. it would be helpful to bring in someone likejeremy hunt. during the campaign he was critical about boris johnson, the last week or so held would you agree with that sort of his punches, and that would be a assessment? it was all rather sign he wants to bring the party expected. a little bit of down and up, it hasn't gone very far? you together, if he did allowjeremy hunt to stay in the cabinet. it have stolen all my lines, jamie!

absolutely, when the pound is down a defends what role, a top job, keep little against the dollar and upper him as foreign secretary or demote him as foreign secretary or demote bet against the euro... the thing is him toa him as foreign secretary or demote him to a role like working pensions secretary. which he might not how long does he get as prime accept. what do you think minister, does he call a general election and take a gamble and what chancellor. the hot ninth was, he is policies does he institute, particularly in regard to brexit? without making any comment to mr seen as a chancellor. the hot ninth was, he is seen as a safe pair of hasner by the johnson at all, would any sane human majority of the conservative being invest in such a degree of backbenchers because his was a uncertainty? one thing you can say relu cta nt backbenchers because his was a is you can have cheap stocks and reluctant remainer, in the brexit referendum, but actually at heart he good news just not both at the same time be given in the uk right now, is probably a brexiteer, so he is there is a load of confusion you may thatcherite in his economic policies, and you know, that would end up in a situation whereby as a appeal to borisjohnson, result, uk stocks look cheap on a policies, and you know, that would appeal to boris johnson, another, being a fiscal conservative as well profit and dividend yield basis. if you are feeling critically brave, as ostensibly a social liberal, and you are feeling critically brave, so as ostensibly a social liberal, and you might view it as an opportunity. so the hot money is on him, but of do you think stocks are cheap at the course there are other names moment? on a dividend basis, floating round, liz truss has been mentioned. she really wants the top definitely foster it's like an job and boris johnson mentioned. she really wants the top job and borisjohnson has promised interest rate pa id definitely foster it's like an interest rate paid on the share to make, give one of the topjobs to price, reward for an being a a woman. he should be giving the

shareholder, that is between four majority to women as far as i'm concerned. concerned. has promised and 4.5%. the government there will be others there. there is you can argue you are getting a good a suggestion a lot of people in his return from your money on shares, ear at the moment, suggesting with the caveat there is much more different sort of policy ideas, and capital at risk. with all these big to how go forward with brexit. companies, especially on the ftse, a whether, how hard to pursue a deal. lot of them have their companies overseas, if we have a nodal brexit, is that how you see it, he is hearing conflicting voices? there one would presume the pound would colla pse one would presume the pound would collapse and they would go up?m are hearing conflicting voices? there a re lots of hearing conflicting voices? there are lots of different camps. the the short term that could help and i people at city hall, the hard line think stirling will to act as a brexiteers who have been fighting shock absorber. if you remember back ala ncets brexiteers who have been fighting alancets long side in the erg. the difficult thing is how he will bring to black wednesday 1992, the pound them together. it has been a small fell sharply and that helped get uk group picking the people who go in out of recession and the pound reca ptu red out of recession and the pound recaptured all the ground it lost the cabinet, that will set the tone for the next government. is that how within 18—24 recaptured all the ground it lost within18—24 months. the pound could you see it pippa? absolutely. we act as a very useful buffer no—deal have heard lots of rhetoric but we are not clear what he is going to brexit leads to some economic dislocation, we don't know if it do. it was funny, the closer will not stop light from an somebody gets to pawer, i remember investor's point of view, what is

the ideal situation, what would you talking to tory mps saying boris johnson isn't popular enough to get like to happen between now and the thisjob, we are johnson isn't popular enough to get 3ist like to happen between now and the 31st of october? we want to know we this job, we are unlikely to get the support. there he is. he has done have a deal or no deal, if we have a it. he has remained a close core of deal, what kind of deal? then investors can make a deal because half a turn. one of his deputy they know what they are dealing with and once we know that, we can stop using that awful word uncertainty which everyone is fed up of. thank mayors is apparently going to be his policy chief. we have herd little. you. the civil service has been given little to deal with, they know he in other business stories we've been following... has had plans for broadband and fever—tree, the company school funding but we know lit about that makes tonics and drinks mixes has reported that sales growth is slipping, what his priorities will be and want largely due to bad weather in the first half of the year. he will do about brexit. will it be shareholders in fever tree are used to stellar growth and the fact that do ordie, or he will do about brexit. will it be in the first six months sales grew do or die, or is thatjust rhetoric or will he go back to europe and say 5%, and revenues rose 13% sent the sahres down 12%. he will love bomb them, try and get —— the shares down 12%. something out of them. i it is not more people are flying in and out of heathrow, 1.8% more. going in being tough and hard and almost 39 million people — fast. who knows? love bombs by boris that's measured over the first six months of this year against the same period a year ago. the airport says it is shaping up for another strong year

johnson, the new prime minister. but there are some strikes on the horizon with unite announcing three two—day strikes over pay during the holiday period. now the business news. jamie has you've heard about the northern powerhouse, well councils of the cities of bristol, cardiff and newport have said they that. want a great western one as well. the area would stretch from swansea huawei has cut more than 600 jobs in the us at its research unit futurewei. the telecoms giant said the job cuts in the west to swindon were due to "the curtailment of business operations caused by the us". and bath in the east, this is after washington and as far north as tewkesbury, put the chinese firm on a trade blacklist boosting industry and which restricts its ability to trade with us firms. improve transport links. a quick look at the markets before we go. the ftse100, looking pretty supermarket sales have fallen strong. not as high as it was. about for the first time in three years — but it was largely due to a record 80 points earlier. the pound against splurge by shoppers last year on traditional summer favourites like ice cream and alcohol the dollar, 1.24, not a huge change. especially during the men's football world cup. sales over the last three months fell by 0.5% compared the dow up 0.36%. that is all the to the same period last year. business news for the moment. back if you want an investor's reaction in one hour's time. to the election of borisjohnson to the post of prime minister, jamie, thank you very much indeed. then the feeling is mixed.

we are live at westminster digesting the pound is down about half a cent againt the dollar since the announcement. all the reaction to the news boris the stock market certainly is up about 1%. johnson has become the new but much of that movement is driven by the big conservative party leader and exporters, unilever, bp, shell who profit tomorrow will become the new prime from a falling currency minister of the united kingdom. because they make their profits in foreign exchange. you also have to remember the announcement was hardly unexpected, so you wouldn't expect the conservative mp and any dramatic reaction. but what about prominent brexiteer, jacob rees—mogg joins me. the result you were any dramatic reaction. expecting? indeed, in line with the but what about the companies themselves? adam marshall is director surveys done by you guv. a very good general of the british chambers of commerce. result for boris and a strong i know you have 15 de—man, i don mandate from conservative party members. so now he has to start wa nt to i know you have 15 de—man, i don want to go through all of them. what work, has already started work on are the main things? let us do the deciding who will be in his cabinet top three? thanks, jamie. i won't go and government. what sort of government should it be? should he through all is a but we want to see be giving jobs across the the incoming prime minister boris ideological spectrum of the johnson avoid a messy and disorderly conservative party or should this be brexit, we don't think that would be good for firms brexit, we don't think that would be good forfirms or brexit, we don't think that would be good for firms or communities anywhere in the uk. we want to see a narrow, purest, ideological brexiteer cabinet? i think boris is him take swift action to boost very wise and has already made it business confidence. we run the clear his broad outlines of the people must accept we are leaving on

biggest private business sir have you in the country and the numbers 3ist people must accept we are leaving on 31st of october but what people said we have been seeing have not been in 2016 will not determine their position. somebody like amber rudd, good. so businesses already not at a who made it clear she has accepted high water mark here, so an incoming the result, is probably in a very prime minister has to do a few strong position. but people who are things fast to get business moving. trying to overturn the referendum do you want him to spend money on result and don't want to commit to bringing down rates or anything like leaving on 31st of october will that, apprenticeships and things properly not be able to serve boris. like that? there are a mix of things they have to sign up to a possible he could do, he could stop the no deal? they have to sign up to re11less increases in costs that businesses have been facing, there collective responsibility, a constitutional point that has been have been so many up front costs on shattered in the last few years, to business that have been introduced the great disadvantage of good and those have to come to an end. he government. for boris to set out clearly that he is interested in the could create new tax incentives for terms to get invest, business investment is at one of its lowest constitutional points is why is. are ebbs ina investment is at one of its lowest ebbs in a long time. yes, there you expecting a job in cabinet? it's should be spending, there should be spending on fixing the roads, not about me. would you take a job getting our broadband and mobile if offered? i would do anything he signals up to springwatch and train wa nts if offered? i would do anything he wants me to do. you talked about a as many people as we can. those back lack of cabinet collective responsibility, what about the new to basics priorities have got to group of rebels we will potentially come to the over. do you think he is have, people say you have been the

rebels, now effectively you are in power, your man is power, in downing responsive to these demands, he has street but now philip hammond and said one epleasa nt responsive to these demands, he has said one epleasant wore about business in the past, what does he his cohorts will be the new rebels think, do you think?” in your place? in terms of my own business in the past, what does he think, do you think? i have been assured he wants to take a pro role in the erg, we were standing up business approach, but my firms will for what 70.4 million people voted judge him on his actions not his for what 70.4 million people voted for and what was in the conservative words, and some of those have to be party manifesto, that we should leave and leave with or without a favoured coming very quickly, over the coming weeks so that businesses deal. so we were backing can get their mojo back a bit. get conservative party policy. trying to their confidence back. ok. thank you bring down the prime minister? only when she came forward with a very much find. withdrawal agreement which didn't meet the promises she made but that that is all we have time for, but we was at the point we had a withdrawal agreement that didn't properly take will move off to westminster with us out of the eu and had the ben. let us talk about the results and backstop. it is not outrageous to borisjohnson winning the party backstop. it is not outrageous to back tory principles. to go against leadership, i am joined the mandate of 70.4 million people borisjohnson winning the party leadership, iamjoined by borisjohnson winning the party leadership, i am joined by three young members of the conservative and a general election seems an eccentric position to take up. what sort of deal do you think boris johnson might be able to get with party who all voted, i'm joined now by three young members the european union, where theresa of the conservative party. may failed to get a deal she could get through this parliament quest

might do you think borisjohnson can cameron you voted for borisjohnson. do that? i think there is a i supported michael gove the first time round but i think boris had the fundamental difference in approach. numbers to unite the party, i think boris's starting point is leaving the european union is a great he isa opportunity and won the country can numbers to unite the party, i think he is a moderniser, socially liberal by physically conservative and that is what i was looking for. are you benefit from. theresa may's starting point was it was a problem that surprised not surprised, very please needed to be managed. boris and and now we get on with it. sad recognises that no deal, leaving to see theresa may go. you were a without an agreement, is a very theresa may supporter?” strong negotiating card because the to see theresa may go. you were a theresa may supporter? i thought her eu doesn't get £39 billion and so deal was a very good one, she will on. therefore, he will be be remembered fondly. pro hunt negotiating from a position of much greater strength than theresa may, supporter again, theresa may with was never willing to play that card. her deal, obviously disappointed today, but we have to look to the do you think when he has about we future, i today, but we have to look to the future, lam naturally today, but we have to look to the future, i am naturally concerned are leaving on 31st of october do or with the parliamentary numeracy, the parliament is on a knife—edge. i die come what may, was that campaign rhetoric or does he really mean don't think the boris is the person that? i think when he said when we to unite it. we will see what kick the can, we kick the bucket, he happens. how did you vote? boris meant it. if the conservative party johnson, 100%, thrilled. hard work doesn't get us out of the 31st of sta rts johnson, 100%, thrilled. hard work starts now, we need to union forks it sends a clear message to the rest october, we lose to the brexit party and if we do that we getjeremy corbyn as prime minister and that of the conservative members and the would be a disasterfor the united

party, we need to get on with kingdom. can you get a no-deal brexit. get on how, exactly? how brexit if it comes to that through ha rd brexit. get on how, exactly? how hard would you like to see him work this place? it has been passed to get a deal with the eu? through parliament twice in the article 50 act and withdrawal act. endlessly, day and night of course, mps keep saying parliament won't we have 100 days now or less. time agree to no deal but they agreed to article 50 in the withdrawal act. is ticking down. boris has to act either they don't understand what they vote for and go through the division lobbies like sheep or they quickly, get a certain cabinet in are very place, a cab in any that believes in division lobbies like sheep or they are very forgetful. the law, the brexit and get on with the default, is we leave on october 31. negotiations. is that how you see it, because parliament can only change that by there has been a lot of talk about a changing the law. it can't do it by mere motion. they might be able to no—deal brexit, come what may, do or find a mechanism and if they can die, we are getting out by october find a mechanism and if they can find a mechanism and if they can find a mechanism, it is said that 31? i voted for brexit but i voted may be up to 50 conservative mps to leave with a deal. i would like to leave with a deal. i would like would rebel against boris johnson to leave with a deal. no—deal has to be left on the table, i think, but i and his government? you say a think theresa may still is a good mechanism, there are only two ways one, if gorst can get a few changes of stopping us leaving on october 31. to change the government or and some of that recalcitrant and change the law. changing the law relu cta nt and some of that recalcitrant and reluctant labour people who said isn't a mechanism, it is a detailed this time round they would vote for iti process. changing the government this time round they would vote for it i think it can get over the line. requires putting jeremy corbyn in, are you opposed to a no—deal.

not many conservatives, or nobody it i think it can get over the line. are you opposed to a no-deal. on who calls himself or herself a principle no but i would like to prevent it. if you were an mp, i am conservative would want to see him sure you will be one day, would you as prime minister. boris johnson has said he is the man who can defeat try to block a no—deal? sure you will be one day, would you jeremy corbyn. you are saying how do try to block a no-deal? no. what about your? you are a jeremy hunt you stop brexit, the only way to do thatis supporter. it was interesting to see you stop brexit, the only way to do that is to change the government.“ you had an election are you not confident you could beat the labour what the rebel alliance, along with party? the way to change brexit is ken clark and rory stewart, i don't think a no—deal situation is right for the country, it will ruin the economy, the people who voted for to change the government without a general election. what they want to brexit, the majority will be the do is do it by subterfuge. all this ones that will suffer from it. you talk about rejecting no deal is code for saying they don't want brexit at would try and stop it. like most all. people like me must make it people. even among yourself, you are clear what they are trying to do. but the reality could be, you have a microcosm of the party, still very to a cce pt but the reality could be, you have to accept it as a possibility, that disunited over brexit. but this parliament will stop at no deal and you are forced into an election? i'm large vote sends a clear message we sorry to be boring and repeat what i need to all unify now and pursue brexit. it sends a clear message said but parliament have already passed the laws that make leaving from about 100,000 brexit. it sends a clear message from about 100 , 000 conservative party members. that is how the the eu the default position and people who are saying they don't system works. let us get on with the wa nt people who are saying they don't want no deal... no possibility they

job. what about the people who say stop it? unless they bring down the government or change the law but both of those are difficult to borisjohnson doesn't have great attention to detail, in terms of achieve. jacob rees-mogg, thank you for your time to stop let's have a doing thejob he attention to detail, in terms of doing the job he won't be very good. look at the weather. we know it is i beg to differ. i think he has an really, really hot where we are at outstanding track record, twice his westminster. premierships at london mayor, he did hello there. the heat is really building now. a fantasticjob... as foreign today's a hotter day secretary as well. i don't think it than it was yesterday and this week could turn out to be was that outstanding, i think he is a record breaker as well. able to do local government, of earlier on we did have some cloud course. when it comes to the around, particularly in scotland, but that is breaking up. national scene he will struggle. he most places seeing blue skies was only in the foreign office for a and high temperatures, as well. particularly across england and wales, widely, at least in land, short time, obviously he resigned. i 30 degrees plus, with a peak thought that was the wrong decision of around 35 in the south—east to make. we saw the him —— saw him of england, around the london area. but that heat and humidity is going to spark some stand up to trump, champion women's torrential thundery downpours. they will probably start to arrive rights abroad. good to talk to you across the channel islands all young offender u thank you so through this evening, much for being was, several young moving northwards up conservatives there with their views towards the west into wales of the leadership. let us look at through the midlands, not far away from the south—east the weather and it is scorchio but of england and east anglia and then those thundery downpours pushing up darren has the latest forecast. you overnight across northern england,

into northern ireland, particularly are going all technical. it is a hot up towards scotland later on. some hail, some thunder, day, you are best to be in the shade some gusty winds and there may well today. it is 32 celsius in london be some flash flooding from the torrential downpours. a really noisy night and a very warm and sticky night, as well, and jersey, that is 90 fahrenheit particularly where it's likely and jersey, that is 90 fahrenheit and it is building northwards, but to stay dry, in the south—east corner of england. the highest temperatures will be very uncomfortable indeed. widely across england and wales, above 30 degrees in many place, a peak of 35 celsius later, in round still some wet weather around first the london area, but that heated and thing and perhaps into the early rush hour but it is moving very quickly northwards. that very heavy and thundery rain. so, drying off in most places. humidity, very sticky outthere, will a few residual showers left lead to thundery downpours. many in scotland and northern ireland, but on the whole, the sunshine and dry weather returns. place also get wet weather, it will probably not quite as hot across eastern parts of england, bea but this is where we will see place also get wet weather, it will be a noisy night. could be wind and the highest temperatures. hail in there as well. it will be we are getting all the heat, though, because the jet stream is changing position. muqqy' hail in there as well. it will be muggy, uncomfortable to the it's buckling, it's diving south—east where it may stay dry. to the west of the uk. those were the minimum temperatures. it allows high pressure to develop to the east. tom —— tomorrow, the last of the a change in the wind flow, the wind, ouraircoming all the way overnight rain clears away, leaving up from north africa, one or two showers it is turning dry in across europe and lifting those temperatures, with the peak of the heat expected and sunny. the heat will be more on to be on thursday. sunny start, very warm start and muggy start. could get a few storms

the eastern side, 33, maybe 3a running across wales, degreesers but then that continue up towards north—west england men alheat comes backs on thursday, and scotland later on but the real focus of the heat, that is going thatis men alheat comes backs on thursday, that is when we could break thejuly 00:59:08,418 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 record with a high round 37 celsius. to be across the midlands and eastern england and in the south east of england, this is where we could find the temperatures up to around 37, possibly even 38 degrees. and that would break the record, of course. thejuly record for the uk is 36.7. that was set just a few years ago. by the time we get to friday, fresh atlantic air should be sweeping in. most places will be dry with some sunshine and time the highest temperature is 27 or 28 celsius. new this is bbc news, live from

westminster. borisjohnson is elected as the new conservative leader and will become the next uk prime minister. he beatjeremy hunt in a poll of tory members — winning almost two thirds of the vote. deliver brexit, unite the country and defeat jeremy corbyn, and that is what we are going to do. mrjohnson has promised to deliver brexit by october the 31st — saying it's "do or die" — the new eu commission president warns of ‘challenging times ahead' and president trump has already congratulated borisjohnson — saying ‘he will be great‘. i'm rebecca jones. the other main headline at four. a heatwave is spreading across the uk, with temperatures expected to climb to well over 30 degrees celsius this week.

so now we know, and in the end there was no great surprise, boris johnson was favourite to win from the start — and now he's been voted in as the new conservative leader. he will officially take office as prime minister tomorrow — after a meeting with the queen at buckingham palace. borisjohnson gained around double the votesjeremy hunt did from conservative party members. in his victory speech, mrjohnson promised to unite the country — and deliver brexit by the deadline of 31st october. but he's already seen some ministerial resignations — and there could be more — as several cabinet members have already said they can't support his "do or die" pledge to leave the eu. iain watson has our first report. he walked in first but finished second, jeremy hunt was decisively defeated by borisjohnson.

for many, the foreign secretary was the face of brexit, the figurehead of vote leave and that probably appealed to the two thirds of conservative members who gave him their support. he said he'd take britain out of the eu by the end of october and his acceptance speech was a cocktail of optimism and humour with the slightest dash of detail. we know the mantra of the campaign that has just gone by — in case you've forgotten — you maybe have. it is deliver brexit. unite the country and defeatjeremy corbyn. and that is what we are going to do! and i know someone has already pointed out, deliver, unite and defeat was not the perfect acronym for an election campaign since it spells dud but they forgot the final e my friends, for energise. he seems to have already

united his family though some have very different views on brexit but he romped through some of its other policy ambitions as well. we are once again going to believe in ourselves and what we can achieve. like a slumbering giant we will arise and lose the guy ropes of negativity with better infrastructure, more police and fantastic full fibre broadband sprouting in every household. the announcement of the new conservative leader was made theresa may promised to support him from the backbenches but not eve ryo ne from the backbenches but not everyone is going to be so. the announcement of the new conservative leader was made here but the real challenges begin tomorrow when he moves just around the corner into downing street. borisjohnson has said he will take us off the hamster wheel of doom, as he calls it, and get britain out of the european union by the end of october. if he doesn't do that his time in downing street may be limited, if he does but without a deal

he will be facing notjust the opposition but the unofficial opposition, senior members of theresa may's government who are prepared to rebel against him. anotherformer foreign another former foreign secretary believes boris johnson another former foreign secretary believes borisjohnson may another former foreign secretary believes boris johnson may face another former foreign secretary believes borisjohnson may face some serious hurdles in parliament. there are at least 50 tory mps who will not support no deal. as long as he seems to be talking with that sort of language he will lose support in the house of commons. this is one minister who will not serve under boris johnson. david gauke's colleagues who oppose no deal have been dubbed the gaukeward squad. there is a clear majority in the house of commons that doesn't want to leave the eu without a deal. that will become very clear in the autumn. there may well be ways in which parliament finds an ability to make it clear that that is binding upon the new prime minister. the education minister resigned today. she was concerned britain could leave the eu with no deal.

i wish the new prime minister well in his negotiations with the eu but i have always had grave concerns about leaving the eu without a deal in place. one prominent boris johnson supporter is looking down on those who choose to criticise him. there is no scope for self—indulgence and individual mps expressing their views. for the conservative party to deliver for our country we have to unite, come together. borisjohnson's opponent admitted he was disappointed but called for unity, and this was his diagnosis for his failure to win. this was always going to be uphill for us because i was someone who voted remain. we have a prime minister who voted remain and a lot of conservative party members felt this was a moment when you had to have someone who voted for brexit in the referendum and that was, in retrospect, a hurdle we were never able to overcome.

the future is uncertain for larry the downing street cat and for the country. the new prime minister has a wafer thin majority. borisjohnson moves in here tomorrow, but it is not clear how long his tenure will last. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in the houses of parliament. what's been the reaction generally to the news that borisjohnson has got the leadership? he was always expected to about 66% of the party membership, is that a resounding majority that gives him a mandate for the party? it does but it has a limited mandate. it isjust for the party? it does but it has a limited mandate. it is just the conservative party so it helps them to some extent but the much broader support he will need from the country is still up for grabs. i

think the party has gone for him because they think he has a winner, they hope he is a winner, and they might expect a general election. they think you might be able to beat jeremy corbyn so that is why the party has got behind him but he has still got the issue of the numbers in the house of commons and how he gets a brexit deal through if that is what he wants to do. he says he does want some sort of a new deal and he would much prefer that to living without a deal. as he pursues that he will have the support of most of his mps including those who didn't campaignfor most of his mps including those who didn't campaign for him and are pretty much against his leadership and some of whom are resigning because they don't want to serve under him. they will give their backing as long as he is pursuing a deal but the problem is if it comes to october and he is heading to an audio scenario. people who have spoken to him in the last two days, i have spoken to cabinet minister who saw him last week, they are not clear from talking to him who saw him last week, they are not clearfrom talking to him in private what his planners and the speech

today was typical of that. exuberant, optimistic, calling for people to come together but no detail, and that is still what a lot of mps feel. they feel they are in the dark as to what happens if parliament stops no deal in some way. what will boris johnson do then, they don't really have an a nswer to then, they don't really have an answer to that. with me now is the leader of the independent group for change and mp anna soubry. thank you for being wet eyes. what is your reaction to the news boris johnson has is expected got the leadership? i think it is a very bad news for our country and it is a bleak day for british politics. he has been elected on the basis that he is determined we are going to leave the european union october 31. he doesn't have a plan for that and he believes an hour crashing out without a deal, which is not what we we re without a deal, which is not what we were promised and is not in our country's interests and i do not

believe has the support of the vast majority of people in this country, but it shows you the shift in the conservative party to the right as it clearly has the backing of the majority of members of the conservative party but that is no mandate. it is not a mandate. 92,000 people determining our country's future. that is the way that party leaders are elected. by their party members. but it is the platform upon which he has stood and it is the fa ct which he has stood and it is the fact that in the face of this national crisis, we find ourselves now facing this cliff edge, this crash out which is not what we were promised and is not in the country's interests. it is now up to everybody to stand up for their constituency and country and put their constituents jobs first and make sure we do not leave the european union in that way. can parliament stop a no deal exit? of course we can. we proved it last week. we will not allow the parliament to be

prorogued in any way. if we so choose, and we can do it now, we have shown the numbers that every time no deal has come before the house, the majority has voted against no deal. what would be the mechanism? there are a variety of mechanisms, some of which i will not discuss. jacob rees mogg just said you cannot do it. well, if he says that it must be true. of course we can legislate, there are all manner of ways. people like jacob rees mogg are now running this country. they are now running this country. they are running the conservative party and that is what boris was my collection has shown. he is in hock to them. the real question is how will he deliver this because he can't deliver it. what is he going to do having made this promise? he is very good at changing his mind. mendacity runs through him and he will do anything to curry favour and won a vote but what is he going to do? he will either have a general election which he knows he can't win because he will be the shortest term

prime minister ever. there is a good chance he will have to go back to the people for a peoples vote. you seriously think boris johnson the people for a peoples vote. you seriously think borisjohnson would have another referendum ? seriously think borisjohnson would have another referendum? this is a man who wrote one article in favour of remain, one article in favour of leave, and then decided which was in his best personal interest and it was leave. if you can do things like that, vote for theresa may's deal, he has voted for the irish backstop. no they asks that, he voted for it and now he says it was a constitutional abomination. it was wrong and awful, and he is going to do something different. why don't people ask him, why did you vote for it then if it is so terrible? this is the mendacity which runs through him. you can change his mind in so if he wants to change his mind and have this final taking it back to the british people, which is the only way forward in my view, then i would be very happy with that change of mind. do you think a general

election, we were talking to commentators before who thought, a general election in september, because it parliament stops a no—deal brexit he won't have any other choice? if he goes to the british people with the conservative party on the basis of no deal he will fracture the conservative party and they really will be utterly unelectable. history tells us loud and clear that you win in this country, whether the way tony blair turned the labour party back around into the centre ground, whether david cameron change the conservative party into the centre ground to make it electable, that is how you win in british politics, and that centre ground. that is why i left the tory party because the tories had abandoned the centre ground. that is why i formed with others this new party in this new way of doing politics rejecting the extremes, because we have to do politics differently and we also have to get back into the centre ground, and the tories have

abandoned that and on that basis the british people will not vote for a conservative give them the majority they will need, so i cannot see them going into a general election and the only way out of that impasse is to ta ke the only way out of that impasse is to take it back to the british people with a final say, a peoples vote, now we know what brexit looks like. it is hot here and quite noisy but this is the first time you have been doing interviews here since you we re been doing interviews here since you were abused and harassed earlier this year. do you think the atmosphere has calmed down a little bit? i know the remaining guys are a lwa ys bit? i know the remaining guys are always about shouting but they are harmless and if you ask them to be quietly well, and i am sorry about the bad language but i will speak to them about that and in all seriousness, the metropolitan police, and i pay full tribute to them because they did a splendid job in the prosecution of somebody last week. he pleaded guilty accepting he did something wrong and got a suspended prison sentence. the met realised it was unacceptable for not

just me but sammy wilson, standing over here, unacceptable that members of parliament like anybody else couldn't go about their lawful business. people who were in parliament who were being spat at and abused. you couldn't do yourjob and abused. you couldn't do yourjob and your crew couldn't do theirjob because of the unacceptable levels of noise and abuse, so i think the met, they are doing theirjob and we are all gratefulfor met, they are doing theirjob and we are all grateful for that because i certainly feel safe and i will carry on doing what i believe is right. as we all must do. we are great full to see you. it is good to see you guys back because i think you'll find it difficult as well and some of you are terribly abused. that is good news for democracy! we have to get back to the way of doing things properly and not being bullied or harassed by people who i don't think other country's interests at heart. thank you very much indeed. as anna so thank you very much indeed. as anna so great just thank you very much indeed. as anna so greatjust mentioned, sammy wilson is standing by waiting to

talk to us and while he gets his microphone ready, i will remind you that boris johnson microphone ready, i will remind you that borisjohnson is the new leader of the conservative party with 66% of the conservative party with 66% of the conservative party with 66% of the votes of the conservative party membership. 87% return out of the party membership, so it wasn't the party membership, so it wasn't the entire party membership that voted but it was a pretty large number of them and borisjohnson got 66%. that is the windows of the 1922 committee of the conservative party backbenchers at westminster, in the palace of westminster. let's stop to sammy wilson who is joining me palace of westminster. let's stop to sammy wilson who isjoining me now. you had a statement from arlene foster saying she has spoke to boris johnson since he got the job. she has congratulated them and indicated she wants to work with boris and to see through the confidence and supply arrangement we have with the

conservative party so that it can fulfil its five year mandate which it gained at the last election. so you will keep propping up this government? we will keep supporting them, and it is not unconditional support, so long as they continue to support, so long as they continue to support the union, then we will continue to support them. what happens next in terms of what boris johnson does with eu negotiations? do you think you can get a deal, that the eu will renegotiate and go back and what they have said and sit down and renegotiate the withdrawal agreement? i think if he stands by the promises which he has made, that first of all he is not going to acce pt first of all he is not going to accept a union breaking and referendum denying deal, and he insists that we will leave on 315t october as the law of the land says we will, then i think he has every chance of getting the eu to rethink their position, because don't forget

their position, because don't forget the eu have adopted the position they have to date because they thought they had a weak, vacillating, wavering government given to meet every demand and deadline they made. that is the eu's negotiating position and that is their approach to things. faced with someone their approach to things. faced with someone who has a bit more steel in his negotiating stance, i think they will understand the need for a deal thatis will understand the need for a deal that is important to the european union as the united kingdom. so what sort of concessions are you expecting? i think first of all that there is no need for the backstop arrangements, because they were designed by the eu to ensure the united kingdom as a whole, although they were focused on the irish border, they were designed to do one thing, and that is to keep the united kingdom and the customs union and the single market, by creating a

problem, and illusion... the aim is to avoid the return to a hard irish border and possible bloodshed. first of all, there will be no return to bloodshed. people say that if you had a hard border with checkpoints and all the rest of it you could then become the source of new violence and bloodshed. you are putting a question to me about a situation which is never going to arise. even the irish government this week has indicated that in the event of no deal, they will be having no checkpoints along the border. nothing for terrorists to attack, so this was an illusory problem all along anyway. if it comes to checking trade across the border we have the mechanism to do that already. we collect tax across the border, we check for regulatory compliance across the border at present. we have searches by the

police and by the customs officials where there is intelligence led information which would indicate there is a goods being transported across the border, so all the things which are needed to be done if the united kingdom becomes a third country, the means to do that are already in place and could already be implemented. thank you for your time. thanks for being with us at westminster. european leaders have been swift to congratulate borisjohnson — among them the european commission's recently elected president ursula von der leyen. first of all, congratulations to borisjohnson to be nominated as prime minister, and i am looking forward to have a good working relation with him. there are many different, difficult issues to tackle together. we have challenging times ahead of his and i think it is very important to build up a strong and a good working relation because

we have the duty to deliver something which is good for people in europe and in the united kingdom so in europe and in the united kingdom so i'm looking forward to working with him. thank you. well, joining me now isjonathan stock, former special adviser to theresa may. you were there when power changed over the last time round between david cameron and theresa may. just talk it through the theatre of what is going to happen tomorrow? the sort of transition of power, whether between two prime ministers of the same party are different parties, very much set on its way in some respects. we will see passing remarks from the current prime minister following her last appearance at pmqs before she heads off to the queen, and thereafter she makes her own arrangements, and borisjohnson will makes her own arrangements, and boris johnson will travel to makes her own arrangements, and borisjohnson will travel to see the queen and returned to downing street to make his own remarks, starting his premiership with an occupation of the famous front door. what are

the logistics in terms of moving stuff out, moving stuff and?“ the logistics in terms of moving stuff out, moving stuff and? if you area stuff out, moving stuff and? if you are a fly on the wall you would see are a fly on the wall you would see a huge amount of activity. particularly given we have had 24 hours notice, it is perhaps not as swift as a change of government after a general election but in that time there are offices to be cleaned and reallocated. i am sure a number of special advisers and political staff will be moving out. may have already packed their boxes. but in practice it as a whole new team and the new prime minister wanting to come in and make its mark, and the whole team that will be requiring office space and mobile phones, requiring computer access and e—mails in order to get cracking straightaway. that must be quite hard, to go in and get started straightaway. as a transition of people going in and out to get an idea of how it will be? there are no formal transitions as with the united states and in practice there will be discrete conversations going

on between the civil service and potentially mrjohnson and some of his senior advisers in terms of how they expect it to look. who has got decision—making rights on his behalf in terms of hiring and firing, but in practice, it is a bit of emotional upset. i was going to ask, how emotional is it for those leaving? i am lucky enough not to have left downing street in these circumstances but having spoken to former colleagues, of course, a very emotional time. the heightened emotional time. the heightened emotion of working in government a nyway emotion of working in government anyway you hit a wall of enforced decompression which i can't imagine is necessarily too much fun. but i expect a lot of them will be very proud of the work they have achieved evenif proud of the work they have achieved even if the circumstances have made that particularly challenging. of course, a number of them might be looking for rose to continue in government, whether in downing street or roles elsewhere. but a number will have called time and will be pleased of however long they

have spent working with theresa may and will leave with her. and those coming in, i suppose and will leave with her. and those coming in, isuppose it and will leave with her. and those coming in, i suppose it is quite an exuberant time because finally you are working in the heart of power, in ten downing st? of course, it is certainly very exciting. i remember my experiences from theresa may's arrival, and it is filled with energy and the same permanent staff who stay well have clapped out the prime minister theresa may tomorrow, and shortly after boris johnson's arrival, they will clap him in, and us part of that team who may been involved in securing the premier‘s row will obviously receive that welcome warmly. it is tribute to the professionalism of that staff who have to churn through their own emotions and attachments to the previous administration and be ready to serve this new one with the same energy they faced the last. we will see what happens tomorrow but thank you for that insight into the workings.

let's find out what the reaction has been in ireland and scotland. in a moment, we will talk to lorna gordon in glasgow. first to keith doyle in dublin. what has the reaction been there? good afternoon from a very sunny dublin. some of the congratulations from leo varadkar, who congratulated borisjohnson but from leo varadkar, who congratulated boris johnson but then from leo varadkar, who congratulated borisjohnson but then went on to say he looks forward to an early engagement on brexit, northern ireland and bilateral relations. ireland and bilateral relations. ireland has always been very clear that any negotiations were between the eu and britain, and certainly there was no individual negotiations going on between ireland and britain, but clearly there is some merit to leo varadkar seize to getting an early meeting and with borisjohnson, really getting an early meeting and with boris johnson, really to getting an early meeting and with borisjohnson, really to hammer home that message that the backstop on

the agreement, that is there to stay as far as ireland is concerned. the deputy prime minister has said, issued a statement to say, we will work constructively with boris johnson and his government to maintain and strengthen british— irish relations through the challenge of brexit, and it certainly is a challenge. he warned that the weekend, on bbc tv, about the dangers of an audio brexit and the dangers of an audio brexit and the dangers of any incoming prime minister trying to tear up the withdrawal agreement. he says as they try to do that we are in trouble. the trouble would be for the whole irish economy. the irish government has been very clear how disastrous it feels an audio brexit would be to the all ireland economy and that is one of the key negotiations or making sure the withdrawal agreement goes through it brexit goes through. the irish government would rather brexit didn't go through at all. another reaction from bertie ahern, the

former prime minister. he said on irish radio that he doesn't believe there is, in his words, a hope in hell of the new british prime minister getting brexit done by the deadline of october 31. he is not in government anymore so he deadline of october 31. he is not in government anymore so he doesn't have to be so but diplomatic language coming from behind me today, saying early engagement and constructive discussions. thank you very much. let's go to lorna gordon in glasgow. we have been hearing already from the first minister with reaction to borisjohnson being elected party leader and tomorrow prime minister. yes, nicola sturgeon, scotland's first minister, has been reacting to his winning the conservative party leadership contest. she congratulated him but warned him he should be in no doubt of the strength with which she and others would oppose no—deal brexit.

she also said he would be unable to resist the pressure for a new referendum on scottish independence. you remember the powers to grant that referendum lie with westminster. she needs them to grant those powers in order for a referendum to go ahead. the context of this is that a majority of people here in scotland voted to remain in the eu. and there is some polling to suggest that in the event of a no—deal brexit, support for independence would rise to around 60%. borisjohnson independence would rise to around 60%. boris johnson didn't independence would rise to around 60%. borisjohnson didn't mention scotland in his comments made on winning that contest this morning but he will be alert to the dangers. he has already said he will add the title minister for the union to the prime minister title. he title minister for the union to the prime ministertitle. he has title minister for the union to the prime minister title. he has said he will set up a union unit to stress test any policies through the devolved prism, and he will protect

the barnett formula, that funding structure for the devolved nations, as well. we also anticipate him making a major speech on the united kingdom here in scotland within the next week or so. but there will be challenges here in scotland for him, from the political arena and from the very muted response largely from the very muted response largely from the public, and over the next hour or so we the public, and over the next hour or so we expect a protest here in the centre of glasgow against boris johnson's premiership, and that is before it has even begun. our thanks to you. and that is it from me for the moment, life here in westminster. i will hand you back to rebecca who is in the studio with a look at some of the day's other news. forecasters expect temperatures to rise throughout the week — with a heatwave predicted to bring temperatures above 35 degrees celsius over the next few days. on thursday, it's even possible temperatures could beat the highest ever recorded in the uk — which was 38.5 celsius set in faversham in kent, in august 2003.

joining us now is our reporter caroline davies, from regent's park. caroline, we know it is hot. what should we all be doing? it certainly is pretty hot and people here are right and enjoying the sunshine at the moment. you can see people having picnics, possibly after having picnics, possibly after having finished work and coming to enjoy the sunshine. around the corner from enjoy the sunshine. around the cornerfrom me enjoy the sunshine. around the corner from me as enjoy the sunshine. around the cornerfrom me as london enjoy the sunshine. around the corner from me as london zoo and they have been keeping the lions kill by giving them blood ice lolly so kill by giving them blood ice lolly so it is notjust humans who are feeling the heat. we know it can be difficult in these temperatures and can be disruption caused. we heard that in oxford onejudge can be disruption caused. we heard that in oxford one judge sent the jury that in oxford one judge sent the jury home because they were far too hot to be able to deliberate and they were looking for a cooler room tomorrow. we also heard that in newbury the council are handing out cold drinks to rough sleepers who

will struggle in this time of year as well. we have also heard that on three trends are stuck on the east coast main line. that is apparently not to do with the heat but incredibly uncomfortable if you're stuck on those trains on the sort of temperature. however, some people have been out and able to enjoy this beautiful weather. as duncan kennedy has been finding out. as schools break up, the fun breaks out. this is britain's oldest sea water pool, where you sea water, you go for it. what sort of temperatures can you take? as hot as you like. she is hot stuff! it's factor 50 all the way, with the temperature nudging the high 20s. is it hot enough for you? it is lovely. this is almost as nice as being in spain at the moment. do you have to take care in this kind of weather? i do because i have a lot of freckles and fair skin, so i have

to make sure i have the factor 30 or something like that, but otherwise, i am just happy to be here. so, what is going on? as the jet stream eases north of the united kingdom, european and african weather is surging in behind, creating these temperatures by thursday. we are tapping into what has been happening across parts of western europe with high pressure in charge, things very dry with the sunshine overhead. that has been warming things up and it is now bringing in a bit of african warmth and it begins to trundle away from here from now on. in london, pavement thermals reveal the shimmering effects of the heat. it is fine for some who can cool off but for elderly people this can be an oppressive time. age uk recommends that if you have an older family member or neighbour, you check in with them to make sure they are keeping hydrated, but they are coping, wearing light clothing and keeping

the blinds shut during the day, to keep their home cool. in clacton on the east coast, the only wind was offshore. the heat here sapping people, pets and plants. in this weather, we absolutely soak the ground three times a week and if we didn't do that, within a week on this weather they would alljust die and that would be the end of them. you have got to keep on at it all the time. across the country and you find cardiff baking along with many others. a time for relaxation, but also responsibility. public health england are warning about pollution levels along with saharan dust, that may bring some troublesome particles. after britain's last mini heatwave in may, this really is summer's second act. public health england have also put out a heat health alert level three, at level four is national emergency but level three, the advices to

hydrate, wear loose fitting clothing and try to find some shade. caroline, thank you very much for that. now it's time for a look at the weather. it is certainly a hot day out there for many of us. we are seeing the highest temperatures across england and wales. widely 30 degrees plus, with the peak of the heat likely to be around the london area, at around 35 degrees. very hot, but also very humid, and that's going to lead to some thunderstorms developing overnight. initially, some thundery downpours moving across the channel islands into the west country and wales. not far from the south—east of england and all that heat. up to the midlands, northern england, towards northern ireland and scotland. very few places staying dry. the rain could be torrential, accompanied by some hail and very gusty winds. it's also going to be very humid. an uncomfortable night towards the south east in particular, where it may well stay dry. but a lot of places are going to get some very wet weather overnight.

a noisy night as well. it becomes drier during the morning. sunshine developing far and wide. a slight change in the wind direction means that for many western areas, it won't be quite as hot as today, and even towards eastern england, where we will see the highest temperatures, there is going to be a peak of 33 or 34.

is all the sport for now, more at 5:30pm. splendid, that's great, thanks. straight back to westminster now to ben brown. thank you. everyone digesting the news boris johnson thank you. everyone digesting the news borisjohnson will be taking over as prime minister from theresa may tomorrow. he won on 66%. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in the houses of parliament. borisjohnson boris johnson making borisjohnson making that boris johnson making that speech earlier, after the speech he went to conservative headquarters and was there a few hours and just addressed conservative backbenchers here in the house of commons. if you little snippets from that, from mps in the room. one, not a supporter, saying it was classically boris, the circus has come to town. another mp in the room, the cloud has been lifted. let's talk to the former

conservative party leader, iain duncan smith. that sums it up, really, still a divisive figure? not really, still a divisive figure? not really, i was in the room and lots and lots of people who didn't vote for him were banging their desks in appreciation of the fact he has now had a very overwhelming result. i mean, the general mood is really upbeat. there may be the odd person who is still a little bitter about the election, but i think they are very tiny in number and they will be vanishingly small very soon. i think the party came together and said, right, we have done this, made a decision and i thought boris was very good. he lifted the mood, he is very good. he lifted the mood, he is very good. he lifted the mood, he is very good at it. makes them all feel pa rt of very good at it. makes them all feel part of a team makes them laugh, which is really important sometimes. people talk about that a lot on how important it is, that sense of optimism, especially at the moment for the conservative party but it is not enough. you need the detail and many people says he doesn't have the detail when it comes to brexit? that

is not altogether correct, ran his campaign on the campaign was clear about what he is going to do. we will be ready to leave come what may by october 31 stop that is the base of the whole plan. the second thing is we will engage with the european union and we will seek an agreement with them. it won't be the withdrawal agreement is there. with them. it won't be the withdrawal agreement is therem any form, even with changes?“ withdrawal agreement is therem any form, even with changes? it is dead and they know that. we need to seek an agreement that allows us both to part company but to do so on a basis that allows our trade to flow and asked to make sure there are no artificial obstacles. that is what the engagement is all about. a free trade arrangement, but there is ple nty of free trade arrangement, but there is plenty of scope to that. in the meantime, he has lots of policies. wants to improve and increase the police. wants to make sure we are the party of law and order again and also that we help with education, get more teachers and refund the education system and lots more, lots of details. the problem is brexit will dominate and the numbers in the

house of commons don't change. the conservatives don't really have a majority so getting through anything thatis majority so getting through anything that is remotely controversial will be very difficult? yes, but let's get back to the reset and understand what happens now over the next 100 days. the law of the land is that we leave by 315t of october, that is the law. unless that is changed by legislation, it remains the more and the default from that position is that if nothing changes, we leave by the 315t. so right now, you know, you would have to change that. i don't believe there is a majority in parliament to stop us leaving by the 315t. you saw the fact they lost that vote quite recently when they said we must not leave without a deal. lots of labour mps in leave areas said no. we want to deal but we won't stop leaving on the 315t up i think the mood has changed. what about those who say they would stop

or no deal scenario, like philip hammond? to be fair, they voted against their government, not his government, the government of theresa may only four or five days ago because of normal you resign when you do that, they seem to have delayed it a bit. there will be trouble on the backbenches? there may be. he deals with it by lee duff thatcher taught us that and winston churchill, all great leaders show when you lead a political party and show it what the real choices are, and the real choice facing us is if we don't leave by the 315t, the new party on the block, the brexit party, will eat us alive. why? because the public is very angry at having voted, having been given the power, we haven't delivered. lots of labour mps also know this to be the case. so yes, there may be concerns and angerand allthe case. so yes, there may be concerns and anger and all the rest of it, but when it comes to the final analysis, do we want to risk a collapse and trust of the political

syste m collapse and trust of the political system with not just the conservatives but the labour party really reaping the nightmare of that? or really reaping the nightmare of that? 0rdo we really reaping the nightmare of that? or do we leave and make sure our relationship with europe is a good one thereafter? i think that is the real game and that is what we have to aim for. do you think boris johnson is daunted by the task he faces ? johnson is daunted by the task he fa ces ? after johnson is daunted by the task he faces? after all these years of wanting to be the prime minister he will take thatjob tomorrow, how do you think you will approach it? of course he will be somewhat daunted by it, it's the biggestjob in britain and the biggestjob by it, it's the biggestjob in britain and the biggest job at the biggest crisis time that i can remember. so that is daunting. the funny thing about boris johnson, which i think people will come to realise, in a funny way, he grows with the challenge. i have noticed this over the campaign. he has faired of the enthusiasm of people. i saw faired of the enthusiasm of people. isaw him faired of the enthusiasm of people. i saw him today and i was watching him and! i saw him today and i was watching him and i thought to myself, do you know, compared to where he was three weeks ago, this is really now at la st weeks ago, this is really now at last a prime minister that is ready to take over. he has grown through this contest enormously. i think the

public will see someone with enthusiasm, who believes in britain and wants to do this, is committed to doing it but will also take into consideration the fact the uk needs to have a really good plan and that is where he is going. are you expecting a job? is where he is going. are you expecting ajob? i've is where he is going. are you expecting a job? i've asked for nothing, i want nothing. when you serve nothing, i want nothing. when you serve if he asks? if he asks, of course. but i'm not worried one way or another. we will see if your phone rings in the next 24 hours! on silent, he said. iain duncan smith with his insight into the boris johnson campaign. thank you. jeremy corbyn has given his reaction to the news today — let's take a listen to what he's had to say... he has been elected by less than 100,000 people and elected on a programme that appears to be tax write—offs for the very richest and no deal exit from the european union. i think it needs to think a bit more carefully about where we are going. are you worried about

facing him at a general election? not in the slightest, i'm ready for a general election at any time. the issues have to be, what direction is this country going on? is it going to be more austerity, which he supported? more inequality, which he supported? more inequality, which he supported? or will it be the labour proposals of investment in the future and giving our young people some security and hope? boris is quite clear that he will attempt to push the uk out at the european union with no deal or prepare to leave with no deal, what is your response? leaving with no deal would be very, very damaging. to medical supplies in the nhs, to our agricultural system, to our manufacturing industry, and to our economy as a whole. and it will lead him down the direction of some special trade deal with donald trump, negotiated from a very weak position in which the primary demand of trump and his colleagues will be access to the nhs. i think that is a disastrous prospect that he is

offering us. would you continue to push for a second referendum or another confirm a tree vote if boris johnson continues on his path? to ta ke johnson continues on his path? to take uk out of the eu with no deal? in the labour party we have said we think the public should have an opportunity to vote between no deal or the tory deal if there is to be a tory deal with the european union and the possibility of remaining in the eu. it is not a rerun of 2016, it's a decision to be made on the future direction of this country. so there would be three options, the tory deal, no deal, remain?“ there would be three options, the tory deal, no deal, remain? if there is no deal, no deal versus remain. if there is a tory deal, tory deal versus remain. and labour would go for remain? under those circumstances, yes. table a motion of no confidence against boris? when appropriate to do so. tomorrow, there will be prime ministers question time with theresa may for

the last time. i understand boris johnson will be making a statement to the house on thursday and setting out his general approach and we will be setting out our approach of the decent investment in society that delivers for every part of britain and all communities. what do you mean by appropriate time, when will that be, before recess or after? we will decide when that will be. it will decide when that will be. it will be an interesting surprise for all of you. but you are guaranteeing you will definitely be tabling? we will do on a motion of no confidence ata time will do on a motion of no confidence at a time of our choosing. jeremy corbyn with his reaction to boris johnson winning the tory party leadership. chris morrisjoins us. a lot of fiery rhetoric in the campaign from boris johnson, lot of fiery rhetoric in the campaignfrom borisjohnson, do lot of fiery rhetoric in the campaign from borisjohnson, do or die, leaving on the 31st, what is the reality? the problem is time is short so his first priority is to

leave with the deal, which the eu says it refuses to renegotiate. but evenif says it refuses to renegotiate. but even if he somehow got something, he has 100 days, including a large chunk of time when parliament is in recess to firstly renegotiate something which the other side says isn't re—negotiable, then ratify and legislate for it. most observers think that is nigh on impossible. the alternative, the do or die scenario is to leave with no deal. and all the signs are that there is a majority in the house of commons against leaving with no deal. so it does appear that both of those options will run fairly quickly into trouble. so then you get to the other possibilities, do you call an early election? something he said he doesn't want to do or would they have to be another technical extension to the brexit process, something which would be embarrassing for mrjohnson, seeing as his promise to leave on october 31 was so clear. so the rhetoric, i think, fired up the tory party base

but the reality of governing will be very, very different. chris morris, thank you very much indeed. that is about it from me for now from westminster. now the latest business news with jamie. i'm jamie robertson. in the business news: british airways, we have heard in the last few minutes british airways has failed in a bid for a temporary high court injunction to halt industrial action by its pilots, in a dispute over pay. pilots yesterday voted 93% in favour of taking industrial action and turnout was 90%. strikes could begin within two weeks, in the middle of the busy holiday season. huawei has cut more than 600 jobs in the us at its research unit futurewei. the telecoms giant said the job cuts were due to "the curtailment of business operations caused by the us". this is after washington put the chinese firm on a trade blacklist, which restricts its ability to trade with us firms.

supermarket sales have fallen for the first time in three years, but it was largely due to a record splurge by shoppers last year on traditional summer favourites, like ice cream and alcohol — especially during the men's football world cup. sales over the last three months fell by 0.5% compared to the same period last year. if you want an investor's reaction to the election of borisjohnson to the post of prime minister, then the feeling is mixed. the pound fell as soon as the announcement happened, fell and bit more climbed and fell back. but none of these movement's are huge. it has been going all over the place. the stock market climbed after mrjohnson was made leader of the conservative party and then lost some momentum. but much of that movement is driven by the big exporters, unilever, bp, shell who profit from a falling currency because they make their profits in foreign exchange. i am joined by theo leggett,

our business reporter. from the point of view of businesses, what kind of reaction have really been getting? as you might expect, or the business lobbies have been putting out their state m e nts lobbies have been putting out their statements in response to the election of mrjohnson as leader of the conservative party for sublets ta ke the conservative party for sublets take the cbi to begin with. on the face of it, very friendly, very positive, many congratulations to borisjohnson but positive, many congratulations to boris johnson but there positive, many congratulations to borisjohnson but there is a pointed message as well. on brexit, the new prime minister says must not underestimate the benefits of a good deal with the european union. it will unlock new investment and confidence in factories and boardrooms across the country, business will back you across europe to help you get there. a similar message from the institute of directors. again, congratulations to mrjohnson but it says very clearly, in no—deal brexit would only add to the uncertainty that the country is facing an detract from the challenges of infrastructure

upgrades, high costs and things like that that businesses are facing. but avoiding a disorderly exit will enable the country to focus on them. and the british chambers of commerce says the message to borisjohnson from business communities across the uk couldn't be simpler— the time the campaigning is over and we need you to get down to business. tell us what your government will do to avoid a messy, disorderly brexit on october 31. on the face of it, very friendly and positive, in the same style that mrjohnson's speech was earlier but with a pointed message as well. what they clearly don't wa nt as well. what they clearly don't want is a disorderly brexit of any sort. anything in particular they are demanding? general goodwill but anything specific? some of them are very quickly getting down to basics. if you look at what the federation for small business has to say, for example, it says that mrjohnson must modernise business rates by extending the two—year 33% rates discount enjoyed by small retailers.

assist small businesses struggling with employment costs. you have all that kind of thing. a similar message from the british retail consortium, business rates have to bea consortium, business rates have to be a big focus. whilst everyone has been talking about the big picture brexit, they want mrjohnson to get down to the nitty—gritty. brexit, they want mrjohnson to get down to the nitty-gritty. thank you very much indeed. let's look more at the markets. let's turn to emma—lou montgomery, an associate director at fidelity international. let's talk about the pound. this is the thing that really reacts to the politics of the data of the what can we tell from today's behaviour of the pound ? we tell from today's behaviour of the pound? what is clear yet again is the pound does not like the idea ofa is the pound does not like the idea of a hard brexit or a no—deal brexit. what has happened is, it's not quite gone down to its 2019 loaves so far today but hovering very close. the worry is, of course, if there isn't a deal, it is not good for the pound. that is... can't

see any reason why until we have a definite long brexit, until 31st of october has been and gone, that we will see any real clarity as to which direction the pound will be going on. the ftse, the stock market is driven by the pound? i get the impression when the pound goes up, the ftse goes up? exactly. for them, the ftse goes up? exactly. for them, the pound going down is a good thing. i think overall, the market hasn't really massively reacted today. it is seemingly quite tentative. i think more likely than not, investors will be tending to look away from the uk. so, you can't expect investors to think they're buying opportunities but any contrary investor will tell you, where others are worried, there is often opportunity most of this could turn out to be a time when there is plenty of bargains to be had in the uk markets. people who are brave enough. supposing i'm a reasonably brave investor, where would i be putting my money in at the moment,

would say? potentially the uk stock market, there are bargains to be had their first if you look at the ftse 100, some of the companies there that are not making their money overseas, and not so worried about the pound rising at all, they prefer the pound rising at all, they prefer the falling pound, medicine companies. a company that may be at the moment, or a sector, that investors are the moment, or a sector, that investors a re not the moment, or a sector, that investors are not looking at because it is seen as being too uk, two dominated by brexit worries and everything is going on over here at the moment. ok, thank you very much indeed. we can have a quick glance at the markets. the ftse ap 53 points. not a huge amount. the pound against the dollar, 1.24. the pound has had a bad day to start with but recovered a little bit. it has been very undecided. quite near the lows of the last six months. the same for the last six months. the same for the euro. not getting an enormous amount of money if you are going abroad. some places, you will find
