there was pulling over the weekend that gave leader make a massive lead in wakefield, and the main reason voters it was borisjohnson and the fact that he was out of touch with the people, so i think this trip trip of stories has harmed the prime minister's reputation. just trip of stories has harmed the prime minister's reputation.— minister's reputation. just looking at the telegraph _ minister's reputation. just looking at the telegraph as _ minister's reputation. just looking at the telegraph as well, - minister's reputation. just looking at the telegraph as well, and - minister's reputation. just looking at the telegraph as well, and as l minister's reputation. just looking i at the telegraph as well, and as you expect, these papersjust coming into us now, lots of late, clearly, because of this late vote in parliament. there headline, hollow victory tears tories apart. and we have seen it time and time again, haven't we, that there's a problem that when the tory party turns on itself, not a lot gets done. as voters, people feel quite turned off by this, because it does not deliver what they voted this party to do. for sure, and that's what the prime minister_ for sure, and that's what the prime minister would love to focus on and i am sure _ minister would love to focus on and i am sure that is what he would love to be _ i am sure that is what he would love to be on_ i am sure that is what he would love to be on the — i am sure that is what he would love to be on the front page of the telegraph, his former newspaper, but instead, _ telegraph, his former newspaper, but

today, he said i will win again, don't let the media dictate this, very keen to lead the party into the next election. do you think that is something within his control, given the result tonight? his. something within his control, given the result tonight?— the result tonight? no, i don't get is it within his control. _ the result tonight? no, i don't get is it within his control. i _ the result tonight? no, i don't get is it within his control. i dig - the result tonight? no, i don't get is it within his control. i dig it - is it within his control. i dig it depends on things like the by elections, it depends on parliamentary investigations into him, it depends on whether or not his opponents can get their act together, quite frankly, because one of the issues did a's that was just how, on the one hand, it is remarkable that 140 odd mps voted against him even though they were disorganised. 0n the other hand, some of the supporters of boris johnson said, you have no credible alternative system for the prime minister. he still enjoys some agencies, he is after all the prime minister, but there are some factors out of his control on whether he stays in down a street for long. natasha, let's turn to the guardian,

there headline —— yonge street. pm clinging to power after vote humiliation. and that is really at odds —— downing street. as we have already discussed tonight, that was not the verdict any of them had when theresa may won a greater proportion of that vote of confidence back in 2018, and once again, the same picture we have seen, a rather haunted borisjohnson there. is there anyway anyone outside of westminster will see this as an extremely good positive inclusive, decisive result? bath extremely good positive inclusive, decisive result?— decisive result? both you and i know the answer to _ decisive result? both you and i know the answer to that _ decisive result? both you and i know the answer to that one, _ decisive result? both you and i know the answer to that one, don't - decisive result? both you and i know the answer to that one, don't we? i the answer to that one, don't we? probably— the answer to that one, don't we? probably quite unlikely, but, yes, i think— probably quite unlikely, but, yes, i think we _ probably quite unlikely, but, yes, i think we can never write boris johnson off. he has surprised us in the media — johnson off. he has surprised us in the media and his own mps and the party— the media and his own mps and the party in _ the media and his own mps and the party in the — the media and his own mps and the party in the country again and again — party in the country again and again i— party in the country again and again. i think we should never write him off _ again. i think we should never write him off. there are people out there who say. _ him off. there are people out there who say, actually, you know what? he

guardian, a lame—duck leader and a tory party that has lost the plot. what does borisjohnson have to do to win support? what does boris johnson have to do to win smart?— to win support? there are two issues, to win support? there are two issues. the — to win support? there are two issues, the personal- to win support? there are two issues, the personal and - to win support? there are two issues, the personal and the l issues, the personal and the structural. the personal is he needs to win back the trust of his backbenchers, notjust over partygate but over his style of government, his team, his willingness to listen to mps and work with them, but the structural issue behind that makes it harder, that the conservatives are divided on a number of things, like levels of taxation, how much the state should be focusing on a net zero, spending, the climate crisis. there are genuine, substantial divisions both among parliament and among the conservative collector among those questions, so above and beyond the personality issues the finest are conference, there genuine structural issues that are punting centre—right parties across western europe, and it is hard to see where the solution lies —— there are genuine. i

it is hard to see where the solution lies -- there are genuine.- lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha. — lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha. that _ lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha, that his _ lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha, that his supporters - lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha, that his supporters are l natasha, that his supporters are quite clearly trying to draw a line under this, quite clearly trying to draw a line underthis, but quite clearly trying to draw a line under this, but the rebels, those who would like him to leave, see this as losing the battle, but the war continues. how can a party operate that is at war with itself was blue it is always difficult. the phrase goes, was blue it is always difficult. the phrase goes.— was blue it is always difficult. the phrase goes, divided parties never win elections. _ phrase goes, divided parties never win elections, and _ phrase goes, divided parties never win elections, and that _ phrase goes, divided parties never win elections, and that is - phrase goes, divided parties never win elections, and that is where i phrase goes, divided parties never| win elections, and that is where we are now _ win elections, and that is where we are now. looking forward to the next election _ are now. looking forward to the next election... yeah, they have got to pull together now. it is really tricky when you've got a lot of peopie — tricky when you've got a lot of peopie in— tricky when you've got a lot of people in the conservative party thatjust — people in the conservative party that just will not stop until they have _ that just will not stop until they have ousted boris. they've never particularly liked him, some of them — particularly liked him, some of them. they have said so themselves, we know— them. they have said so themselves, we know who they are. they are not going _ we know who they are. they are not going to _ we know who they are. they are not going to give up any time soon, essentially. they're determined to do whatever they can to get him out,

have heard today, the cost crisis, dealing with the war and ukraine —— the cabinet and borisjohnson will be trying to push ed with their agenda and their promises. some of those rebels would like to have a plan in place, should, as we have been talking about, he go at some point, be that a matter of months or indeed after the by elections or indeed after the by elections or indeed after the by elections or indeed after that investigation from the standards committee? i am indeed after that investigation from the standards committee? i am sure those conversations _ the standards committee? i am sure those conversations are _ the standards committee? i am sure those conversations are beginning i those conversations are beginning now, within the tory party, and i'm sure conversations are being held with cabinet members who are known to have leadership aspirations. as for the government itself, you are right. there is a cost—of—living speech that brings up the intriguing prospect of a joint speech between forrestjohnson and rishi sunak. there are measures on right to buy the government has mentioned announcing this week —— boris johnson. inference of a, it is a very, very busy week in policy terms. 0ne

very, very busy week in policy terms. one of the problems boris johnson faces now, because of the various scandals he is enmeshed in, is there is a tendency to do a weirdly shrug... it was striking the chancellor put out his packages help people with the cost of the crisis, the degree of cynicism you saw about it, but the government needs to try and get it back, win back the agenda with real policies, and this week will give us some indication as to whether or not they are able to do that. ., ., , ., . ., whether or not they are able to do that. ., ., , ., .., , ., whether or not they are able to do that. ., ., , ., , ., ., that. natasha, can they do that? that is the _ that. natasha, can they do that? that is the question, _ that. natasha, can they do that? that is the question, because - that. natasha, can they do that? that is the question, because a l that. natasha, can they do that? i that is the question, because a lot of voters might be turned off by all of voters might be turned off by all of this and say it is too complicated, it is to too much infighting, it is too much westminster. how do you win voters to care about your policies? to do you win voters to care about your olicies? ., ., , policies? to give them what they like,! they _ policies? to give them what they like,! they do — policies? to give them what they like,! they do have _ policies? to give them what they like,! they do have a _ policies? to give them what they like,! they do have a job - policies? to give them what they like,! they do have a job to - like,! they do have a job to persuade _ like,! they do have a job to persuade the public that they've

england fizzling out into the afternoon, though we'll keep lots of cloud here. for the rest of england and for wales, warmer sunny spells, a few showers pop up, mostly in the afternoon — very hit—and—miss. northern ireland staying mainly dry until the evening. cloudier skies towards southern scotland, rather than northern scotland, where, here, we'll see the most of the sunshine, the odd shower in the highlands. 16 degrees in newcastle. it's high teens and low 20s elsewhere. now, as we go on into the evening, you can see the rain moving into southwest england, wales, northern ireland, and then spreading north and east as we go into wednesday morning. some heavy bursts on that, not reaching northern scotland, but overnight temperatures, you see how mild it is for many as wednesday begins. this area of rain becoming slow—moving as it inches further north through scotland on wednesday. elsewhere, there will be some sunny spells around. there'll also be some showers, some heavy and thundery ones, in places, and it will be a windier day across southern areas. it'll be a cooler day at this stage in scotland, after several days of warmth. now, as we go into thursday, a few showers pop up here and there,

an approaching weather system from the west will cloud things over across western areas and produce some patchy rain or showers into the afternoon, and the wind will start to pick up here. that is connected to what's left of tropical storm alex. here it is incorporated within this area of low pressure. you can see the track of it, missing us to the north and northwest. closer to that, though, it will turn very windy for a time. may see some gusts of 40—50 mph across northwestern parts of scotland, for example. and it stays windy into the start of the weekend across many northern areas. this is where we'll see most of the showers, whereas the further south you are, fewer showers and, here, it'll stay mainly dry. bye— bye.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. borisjohnson survives as britain's prime minister — but he suffers a substantial rebellion among conservative mps in tonight's confidence vote. the vote in favour of confidence in borisjohnson as a leader is 200 and foot and against is 148. therefore, i can announce the polymeric party does have confidence... it means that over 40% of the parliamentary party — declared a lack of confidence in their leader. but mrjohnson is defiant. i think it's a convincing result, a decisive result and what it means is
