same time he will be trying to the same time he will be trying to shore up some support among pretty glum —looking tory mps this afternoon. and at the same time there are powerful backbenchers discussing changing the rules to allow another confidence that the prime minister potentially within days. the pm spokesman said that borisjohnson would fight days. the pm spokesman said that boris johnson would fight that vote but i have to say that chatting to tory mps around here including some allies of the prime minister not many would say confidently that he will definitely win it.— will definitely win it. nick, thank ou. time for a look at the weather, here's tomasz schafernaker. it is quite on the weather front at the moment. skies like this for many of us but the outlook is looking very different. it is going to turn warm and settled in the next few days across many parts of the uk but

not today, today quite fresh across the north with a breeze coming from the north with a breeze coming from the atlantic and a bit of rain. that is riding around this area of high pressure which is to the south of us so this is where this settled sunny weather is at the moment. with the jet stream to the north of us next week there is a large area of settled weather may be building across the uk and that is going to allow temperatures to rise. so the forecast for this afternoon, cool and breezy and cloudy across the northern half of uk, around 18 in belfast, very warm in the south of the country at mid 20s. then through the country at mid 20s. then through the course of tonight a band of cloud and rain moving from north to south. still quite warm in the morning around 16 in london, a bit fresher in belfast and glasgow at around 12, 1a degrees. tomorrow we start off cloudy first thing but by the afternoon sunshine breaks through and it should be a beautiful

day along the north sea coast, the south coast as well and another 11 in the south and south—east in the low to mid 20s. not a bad day in glasgow and edinburgh and newcastle nudging up to 20 or so. for friday a similar picture with just the chance of some rain in western parts of scotland but on the whole a bright sunny day. the sunniest of the weather always towards the east and south and already quite hot in london in the high 20s. and that is a hint of things to come heading into the weekend and beyond. the week and very warm and sunny weather with high—pressure. that is building in to the top of the uk and to the north—west always a bit more cloud but the vast majority of the country on saturday enjoying that warm and sunny day and as i said ten quite hot across the south of the country. those temperatures will only rise

and as we head into next week we could be entering quite a prolonged speu could be entering quite a prolonged spell of heat, heat wave which could end up being quite oppressive for some of us. a reminder of our top story... the prime minister remains defiant saying that he is getting on with his job despite a steady stream of ministerial resignations. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

you are still watching bbc news where the focus is here at westminster. in the last hour at the former health secretary sajid javid has made a blistering attack on the prime minister. speaking in the commons — he called for borisjohnson to stand down and urged his former cabinet colleagues to resign. his words come after several more ministers and ministerial aides resigned from their posts this morning. let's listen back to part of that speech now. and that the public expect us all of us to maintain honesty and integrity in whatever we do. this is not an abstract matter. we've seen any great democracy is what happens when divisions are entrenched and not bridged. we cannot allow that to happen here. we must bring the country together as one nation. effective governance inevitably

requires loyalty and collective responsibility and i am instinctively a team player and i have completely focused on governing effectively over the last year. but treading the tight loop between loyalty and integrity has become impossible in recent months. —— treading the tight rope. i will never risk losing my integrity. i also believe a team is as good as its team captain and that the captain is as good as his or her team. loyalty must go both ways. the events of recent months have made it increasingly difficult to be in that team. it is not fair on a ministerial colleagues to go out every morning defending lines that do not stand up and hold up. it is not fair on my parliamentary colleagues, who bear the brunt of constituents�* dismay in their inboxes and on the doorsteps and it

is not fair on conservative members and voters, who rightly expect better standards from the they supported, when the first studies of parties in downing street emerged late last year, i was personally assured at their most senior level by my right honourable friend�*s then team and that, i quote, there have been no parties in downing street are no rules were broken. so i gave the benefit of doubt. and i went on those media rounds to say that i had those media rounds to say that i had those assurances from the senior, most senior level of the prime minister�*s team. then we had more stories. the sue gray report. a new downing street team. i continued to give the benefit of the doubt. and now this week again we have reason to question the truth and integrity of what we have all been told. at

some point, we have to concludes that enough is enough. i believe that enough is enough. i believe that point is now. i will the prime minister�*s public acknowledgement last night matters could have been handled better and who he appointed and what wasn�*t said about what he knew when. i appreciated his kind and humble words and his humble spirit when i went to see him yesterday and also the kind letter he sent to me. but i fear the reset button can only work so many times. there is only so many times you can turn that machine on and off before you realise something is fundamentally wrong. last month, i gave the benefit of doubt one last time. but i have not concluded the problem starts at the top. that is not going to change. i have concluded that the problem starts at

the top and i believe that is not going to change. that means it is for those of us in a position who have responsibility to make that change. in have responsibility to make that chance. , ., have responsibility to make that chance. ., , , change. in the past a few seconds news of another _ change. in the past a few seconds news of another resignation, - change. in the past a few seconds news of another resignation, the l change. in the past a few seconds i news of another resignation, the mp for north devon resigning for her role in the government, following on from lots of resignations this morning and expressions of no confidence in the prime minister from backbenchers and those big resignation last night, sajid javid and rishi sunak. so far today we�*ve seen six mps quit as junior ministers. we are tallying up the difference between those resigning from

parliamentary positions and knows backbenchers no longer having confidence. another eight have resigned over the past 2a hours as ministerial aides or parliamentary private secretaries. and we just heard the man who quit as health secretary yesterday sajid javid made a scathing resignation speech within the last hour any comments and said something was fundamentally wrong at number 10. the problem starts at the top, he said and that is not going top, he said and that is not going to change. there is the growing evidence of wider discontent among tory backbenchers over boris johnson�*s leadership with several previously loyal mps publicly submitting letters of no confidence, including the chair of the education committee robert halfon. it could get even worse for the prime minister this afternoon when he is set to be questioned by senior mps at the liaison committee.

let�*s talk to our political correspondent nick eardley. despite all of that the prime minister remains defiant. he does. the message _ minister remains defiant. he does. the message from _ minister remains defiant. he does. the message from the _ minister remains defiant. he does. the message from the prime - minister remains defiant. he does. i the message from the prime minister was bullish at points but sitting in that chamber, there were not many tory mps who appeared bullish. it really felt like the prime minister had lost the room and there is an increasing feeling within the conservative party that the prime minister�*s days are numbered, potentially he could go quite soon as the feeling amongst some in his party. the message you are still getting from number 10 in the last hour or so is he has the personal mandate and he wants to try and soldier on but we have this constant stream of resignations. since we have been speaking other two have gone. clear coutinho and david johnson, both private secretaries to

ministers, have announced they are going as well. that steady drip of people walking out on boris johnson�*s government saying we do not think this is tenable any more, that suggest to me it�*ll be almost impossible for the prime minister to turn this around now. i want to bring in a conservative mp, someone resigned from a junior role about one month ago, paul holmes. how long does the prime minister have left? i think it could be days. the prime minister— think it could be days. the prime minister is — think it could be days. the prime minister is determined to carry on and the _ minister is determined to carry on and the party needs to make a decision — and the party needs to make a decision i_ and the party needs to make a decision. i think the 1922 committee need to— decision. i think the 1922 committee need to say— decision. i think the 1922 committee need to say to the prime minister that he _ need to say to the prime minister that he has— need to say to the prime minister that he has to go or else change the rutes— that he has to go or else change the rules to _ that he has to go or else change the rules to have another confidence vote which — rules to have another confidence vote which i predict the prime minister— vote which i predict the prime minister would lose. you vote which i predict the prime minister would lose. you think so graham brady — minister would lose. you think so graham brady should _ minister would lose. you think so graham brady should speak- minister would lose. you think so graham brady should speak to i minister would lose. you think so | graham brady should speak to the prime minister and say the game is over? i prime minister and say the game is over? ~ , ,,, ., ,, ., over? ithink it is. speaking to colleagues. — over? ithink it is. speaking to colleagues, they _ over? ithink it is. speaking to colleagues, they tell - over? ithink it is. speaking to colleagues, they tell me - over? ithink it is. speaking to colleagues, they tell me we i over? i think it is. speaking to i colleagues, they tell me we need over? i think it is. speaking to - colleagues, they tell me we need a change _ colleagues, they tell me we need a change in _ colleagues, they tell me we need a change in the country needs a change — change in the country needs a change. graham brady is elected by

a view shared by many. that boris johnson may not be prime minister by this time next week. some think it could be even quicker, potentially the prime minister could be forced out of office by the end of this week, within hours. we should point out borisjohnson said he is going to fight on and he seems to be bullish and when i spoke to at number 10 within the past hour they emphasised what they see as a personal mandate from the election but as we�*ve heard all morning, the tory party seems to have turned in that suggest boris johnson tory party seems to have turned in that suggest borisjohnson is probably on his way out. that suggest boris johnson is probably on his way out. those mps who no longer— probably on his way out. those mps who no longer have _ probably on his way out. those mps who no longer have confidence - probably on his way out. those mps who no longer have confidence in i probably on his way out. those mpsl who no longer have confidence in the leadership of borisjohnson, one would imagine they would want a quick process and to start out the summer recess with a new feel certain that before the party conference in the autumn. and a fresh slate, a fresh start as far as

they would be concerned. that fresh slate, a fresh start as far as they would be concerned.- they would be concerned. that it absolutely _ they would be concerned. that it absolutely right. _ they would be concerned. that it absolutely right. there _ they would be concerned. that it absolutely right. there are - they would be concerned. that it absolutely right. there are many tory mps who think the party has been deeply damaged by the scandals of recent months, notjust the way the allegations about chris pincher were dealt with and notjust partygate and notjust were dealt with and notjust partygate and not just those by—election losses and notjust the resignation of it prime minister�*s ethics adviser and notjust questions over the funding of refurbishment of the downing street flat. basically this has led to a complete collapse in tory mps knowing what they are fighting for. they spent so much time firefighting accusations about the prime minister, they have not been able to get on the front foot and really offer a sales pitch to the country and many of think as things stand they�*re going to lose the next general election and basically giving labouran general election and basically giving labour an open goal. they want to change that over the next few weeks and months by getting someone else into position and someone else into position and

someone else into position and someone else to take that fight to the country. nobody has said today they�*re definitely going to stand but there are lots of names out there and we heard paul holmes top tom tugendhat, jeremy hunt, i would be very surprised if he does not stand. sajid javid, when he gave that statement to the commons, that sounded a leadership pitch as well as an excuse asian of the prime minister. i think over the next few hours you will hear more and more conversations like that, really interesting a man in government until a month ago, interesting a man in government untila month ago, paul interesting a man in government until a month ago, paul holmes, interesting a man in government untila month ago, paul holmes, is prepared to chat about names. it feels like the conservative party is starting to move on and potentially deciding it is game over for the prime minister. thank you very much, nick eardley in

central lobby. i�*m joined by peter bone, conservative mp for wellingborough. thank you for your time. yesterday you were still backing borisjohnson as prime minister. does that remain in your position this afternoon? absolutely. i have complete confidence in the prime minister and i hope he leads us into the next general election.— general election. clearly that is not a general election. clearly that is rrot a view _ general election. clearly that is not a view shared _ general election. clearly that is not a view shared by _ general election. clearly that is not a view shared by an - general election. clearly that is i not a view shared by an increasing number of your colleagues. that must concern you. i number of your colleagues. that must concern you-— concern you. i am not sure about an increasin: concern you. i am not sure about an increasing number. _ concern you. i am not sure about an increasing number. there _ concern you. i am not sure about an increasing number. there were - concern you. i am not sure about an increasing number. there were a i increasing number. there were a number of the did not want the prime minister to continue, we knew that at the vote of confidence. ii minister to continue, we knew that at the vote of confidence.- at the vote of confidence. if you look... around _ at the vote of confidence. if you look... around 30 _ at the vote of confidence. if you look... around 30 at _ at the vote of confidence. if you look... around 30 at the - at the vote of confidence. if you i look... around 30 at the moment. at the vote of confidence. if you - look... around 30 at the moment. if you look at the last two and a half years, boris has delivered brexit, people said he could not. we had the

first vaccination in the western world which is protected billions of people across the world. the lowest unemployment for 50 years. ending the illegal migration across from europe. he has led europe�*s response to that terrible war in ukraine. and today we have the biggest tax cut for decades. that�*s a pretty good record. anyone objective at looking at that would say he�*s done a very good job and if he can do that for the next two years will win the next general election.— general election. look at the criticisms — general election. look at the criticisms of _ general election. look at the criticisms of the _ general election. look at the criticisms of the prime - general election. look at the i criticisms of the prime minister, many of them focus around the issue of trust and not been able to trust it prime minister. will quins, one of the early recognition today, saying on monday he was defending the prime minister in interviews, giving the number 10 line on it chris pincher affair and he resigned

saying the run was effectively pulled from under his feet when he discovered what he had been told was the truth was no longer the truth. there is the issue of trust. some mps spoke about constituents are saying they don�*t have confidence and it prime minister. different factions within the party united in saying they don�*t have confidence. despite what you have just listed, there clearly is a significant problem with the personality of borisjohnson for problem with the personality of boris johnson for many problem with the personality of borisjohnson for many of problem with the personality of boris johnson for many of your borisjohnson for many of your colleagues. ii boris johnson for many of your colleagues-— colleagues. if you go into the country and _ colleagues. if you go into the country and get _ colleagues. if you go into the country and get outside - colleagues. if you go into the country and get outside of i colleagues. if you go into the | country and get outside of the westminster bubble and you talk to people on the doorstep as i do in wellingborough, people bring up all sorts of issues but they do not bring up that issue you just refer to. they talk about the cost of living, small boats and the war in ukraine but they do not talk about the prime minister. this weekend... that has rrot — the prime minister. this weekend... that has not been _ the prime minister. this weekend... that has not been borne _ the prime minister. this weekend... that has not been borne out, - the prime minister. this weekend... that has not been borne out, sorry i that has not been borne out, sorry to interrupt but that has not been
