10:30 pm
yeah, i think anybody would welcome it. i think notjust domestically — we all want to know what we're paying out every single month — but as a business, we need that also. we are a business that uses a lot of electricity, unfortunately. liz truss started her tory leadership campaign here in peterborough, winning by appealing to tory party members, but now she has to reach out to every voter — in this marginal and in others — hit by price rises to persuade them she should stay as prime minister. the scale of her task — at the fishy business, they are not even sure they will have a business soon. at the moment, our gas bill is just over £500 a month. it's going to be over £6,000 a month which isjust... that means we are going to have to close the door. we simply cannot afford to pay that. she has got a lot of work ahead of her and we really need her to prove to me what she's doing to do to help me keep the doors open on my business and help my customers and the local community. she needs to prove herself to get my vote in the next election.
10:31 pm
even her supporters worry they still don't know her plans to tackle rising prices. i voted for her so i'm definitely glad that she won. ijust hope that many of the tax cuts come as soon as possible. liz truss, when she was foreign secretary, she did a brilliantjob and i have a lot of respect for her for that. however, i do have a lot of issues with some of her economic policies. the worry is real — from staying in business to keeping warm. the fourth prime minister in six years facing voter demands for immediate and bold action. lucy manning, bbc news, peterborough. let's get a final word from our political editor chris mason who's in downing street. chris, what does tomorrow bring? first thing tomorrow, as they are having our breakfast, the prime minister, borisjohnson, still the minister, boris johnson, still the prime minister, borisjohnson, still the prime minister tonight and still the prime minister tonight and still the prime minister tonight and still the
10:32 pm
prime minister tomorrow morning, it will come out and give his valedictory address. expect him to call on the can services to unite behind liz truss. then we have a constitutional ritual garnished with a bit of geography, with the— to aberdeenshire for the outgoing prime minister to resign and the incoming prime minister to say that she can form a government. liz truss will then return to downing street and around about teatime, she will give her speech from the same spot, framing the premiership that will follow. and then she will appoint her cabinet. news tonight as to the machinations going on behind—the—scenes as far as that is concerned, injust behind—the—scenes as far as that is concerned, in just the last couple of minutes, nadeem darius, the culture secretary, confirming she will resign in the morning. she was asked to stay on as culture secretary and she said no, after a difficult weighing up of the decision and she will return to writing books. we heard earlier in the evening, priti patel, the current home secretary will also
10:33 pm
resign as borisjohnson himself resigns. it will then be up to liz truss to formulate the government. and the news i brought you there, coupled with who the new northern ireland secretary will be because of the say they do not want the job and others are clamouring for it and do not want it give you some semblance that assembling the government is held, as well as running one. more ieces of held, as well as running one. more pieces of the _ held, as well as running one. more pieces of the jigsaw _ held, as well as running one. more pieces of the jigsaw no _ held, as well as running one. more pieces of the jigsaw no doubt tomorrow. time for a look at the weather. what is it going to be like tomorrow, notjust in aberdeenshire, but in downing street? if you had difficulty sleeping last night, we had over 36 lightning strikes. this has been developing across the south—west, thunderstorms moving through cornwall and across wales and they are heading towards the midlands. we will also see
10:34 pm
another cluster of thunderstorms in the south—east that could keep you awake over the next few hours. so those thunderstorms, they will move steadily northwards overnight and pushing their way into the midlands, across the north of england and into southern scotland. the thunder may ease but the showers will linger in scotland. quieter behind, patchy mist and fog forming, may be. an incredibly mild night for the time of year, double digits to greet us tomorrow morning but there will be some showers in scotland. quite elsewhere, sunshine first thing, get out and about if you can because as we go through the day, the showers developing in the south—west and some of them in organised bands, so they could be heavy if you get some, widespread with hail and thunder mixed in. not all of us will see those showers. if you do catch them, they will be intense but the best of they will be intense but the best of the sunshine and the best of the warmth again across east anglia, 2a celsius. the low pressure is set to
10:35 pm
stay throughout the week. it is going to drift its way further eastwards as we go into to end say. that means the showers will be fairly widespread but really quite random. sunshine and showers on wednesday. don't go too far without an umbrella because it is going to be very difficult to predict exactly where we are going to see them. a little bit fresher on wednesday. i can offer you some good news if you are after dry weather. yes, we start with rain and that will linger into eastern areas but by friday, signs of something a bit dry and quieter for the weekend. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at ten on monday, september the 5th. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with victoria derbyshire, which is just getting under way on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. but from the ten team — it's goodnight.
10:36 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me, journalist and broadcasterjenny kleeman and natasha clark, chief political correspondent of the sun. we will say hello to both in just a moment. first, though, let's take a look at the front pages. you are allowed one guess what is on the front page of all of them. "liz: i will deliver" is the headline in the metro, which says the new pm will soon set out plans for the economy, energy bills and the nhs. the i believes the first part of the plan for energy bills will be to freeze them untiljanuary — at a cost of £40 billion. the ft says the total package to be announced on energy could end up costing £100 billion over two years. the telegraph also believes energy bills will be frozen and says
10:37 pm
the announcement could come as early as thursday. the daily mirror sees little prospect of change, saying "same old tories" remain in charge. the daily express is much more supportive, urging people to have faith in the new pm and that she'll deliver "radical" measures to help with the cost of living. the guardian looks ahead to the appointment of the new cabinet, saying they're likely to be exclusively mps who have been loyal to liz truss, while the daily star celebrates the final day of borisjohnson�*s premiership, calling it "the end of an error". as you can imagine, quite a significant day today, and all the papers interesting, quite a widespread of takes across the front pages, energy bills obviously dominating. we will start with a general note from the metro — liz, i will deliver, the headline there.

10:41 pm
the 60% liz mark. she got around 57%, which is a little bit closer than everybody was predicting it was going to be. the polls had her at about 60—66% of the vote, more of a two to one figure, and it is going to make it a lot harderfor her to unite her party masses because tory members, because she was also not backed by the most at the beginning, that was rishi sunak. she has now taken the herd with her, as it became clear she would win the contest, but it is going be pretty tricky. she has got a realfight on your hands to bring the conservative party back together. she your hands to bring the conservative party back together.— party back together. she has, and a front -ae~ party back together. she has, and a front page of _ party back together. she has, and a front page of the — party back together. she has, and a front page of the guardian - party back together. she has, and a front page of the guardian asks - party back together. she has, and a front page of the guardian asks an i front page of the guardian asks an even bigger question than that — truss wins, it says in the headline there, but can she avert the looming crisis? jenny, can she avert the looming crisis? it

10:44 pm
been hammered out. —— we were speaking to. the package we think is going to last at least until january, and then they will review it. the ft thinks energy bills will stay high for quite a long time, so it is quite clear from the editorial in the financial times, kwasi kwarteng, who we expect to become chancellor tomorrow, this is not a short—term problem. the government knows energy bills will stay high for at least a year. lots of people in the industry think the problems are going to become a structural, so it would not surprise me if team truss are turning to the long—term, but equally it is hard to protect these things. when rishi sunak was chancellor, he would not make productions until he would see what happened to the price of gas and oil and other energy in the past few months, and the price cap was set before —— sette, and before then, he would not predict what would happen. i
