the queen and formally resign. we'll bring you that live on the programme. we'll look at what's in liz truss's very full in—tray when she walks through that famous black door, including how to tackle soaring energy costs. good soaring energy costs. morning from greater manchester. good morning from greater manchester. this is a former mining town that turned tory and i have spoken to voters here about what they want in their next prime minister. also this morning, one of two suspects in sunday's mass stabbings in the canadian province of saskatchewan has been found dead, but the other remains at large. in sport this morning, as rafa nadalfalls at flushing meadows, how the men's draw is left wide open at the us open. plus after a night of more spectacular storms, sunshine and showers today. i will tell you where

and when to expect them. it's tuesday, the 6th of september. welcome to downing street, a date that will go in the history books because in a few hours number 10 will welcome its newest resident and we know who it will be, liz truss, elected leader of the conservative party yesterday and has had the night to get her head around things and make appointments and plans. this morning, borisjohnson leaves here. bringing his three—year premiership to an end and then liz truss will arrive and take over. this morning we look at the many challenges she faces in those early moments. at first, here is this from a lyrical correspondence iain watson. in one day, we'll hear from two prime ministers. in this street, a transfer

of power will take place without a general election. early this morning, borisjohnson will give his final speech as prime minister. then late this afternoon, liz truss, his successor, chosen by conservative members, will set out her stall. but what will happen in between? the queen is still in residence at balmoral, so borisjohnson will fly to scotland to resign, and liz truss will make the same journey to be asked by the queen to form a government. then she'll get the keys to downing street and get to work. i campaigned as a conservative and i will govern as a conservative. cheering and applause. she'll announce a new cabinet — the very top jobs in government — this evening. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, is likely to move next door to her at number 11 downing street, as chancellor. former leadership candidate suella braverman seems set to become home secretary. and education secretary james cleverly is expected to take over from ms truss at the foreign office. liz truss will face daunting challenges on multiple fronts.

a substantial nhs backlog even before we reach winter. a war in europe, with the need for continued support for ukraine. and at the very summit of her overflowing in—tray, the cost—of—living crisis and burgeoning energy bills. there can be nojustification for not freezing energy prices. there's a political consensus that that needs to happen. she needs to answer the question, how's she going to pay for that? labour have been clear there needs to be a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. so she needs to show that she actually understands and can meet the challenges that are there after 12 years of failure of this tory government. liz truss has proved she can run a successful campaign. but running a government — especially in times like these — well, that will be a more testing challenge. iain watson, bbc news, westminster.

the new prime minister takes over this afternoon. standing here this morning you feel the sense of impending change with media from all over the world. five times more than were here yesterday. photographers have their positions to get the shots of the prime minister leaving and this afternoon a new prime minister arriving. this is what you needs to know this morning. at 7:30, borisjohnson will deliver his final speech as prime minister outside the doors of number 10. he'll then quit downing street and head to meet the queen at balmoral, where he'll formally resign. liz truss will then make her way to balmoral, where the queen will ask her to form a government and she officially

become prime minister. she'll then return to downing street. she will get the security briefings. then she will come here, we expect her to make the famous speech this afternoon outside the famous door, weather permitting. and then she will start to appoint her cabinet. we know some of them pretty much already, but she will finalise those before preparing for prime minister's questions in the commons tomorrow. some first day at work. as borisjohnson tomorrow. some first day at work. as boris johnson leaves tomorrow. some first day at work. as borisjohnson leaves this morning he will travel to see the queen later. you can feel the energy outside, goodness knows what it is like inside the energy is what it is all about, the energy bills she will have to address. it is

about, the energy bills she will have to address.— about, the energy bills she will have to address. it is top of the intrada . have to address. it is top of the intraday. what _ have to address. it is top of the intraday. what she _ have to address. it is top of the intraday. what she will - have to address. it is top of the intraday. what she will do - have to address. it is top of the | intraday. what she will do about bills that families will struggle to pay and businesses will struggle with, as well. i think what we are going to be talking about at the end of the week is a price freeze, a mechanism that would mean the cap on bills remains the same the next few months. there were talks last night between senior people in the liz truss team, people around the cabinet table tomorrow morning, and the energy companies. they thrashed out final details. we do not know exactly what it will look like but the expectation is it will be loans paid back by the companies and probably by us in bills over the next years. i do not think it will be universally popular. labour, the lib dems, snp think we need to tax companies more on record profits to pay for this sort of thing. some tories uncomfortable with the idea of that level, potentially £100

billion, of state intervention. but i think that is where we will end up by the end of the week. the choreography _ by the end of the week. the choreography of _ by the end of the week. the choreography of the moment. these are the pictures shown when liz truss will leave office as well is on the day she arrives. what will she want to say today to set the tone at this crucial moment? 50 tone at this crucial moment? sr interesting, this is her moment to deliver her vision to the country. to say this is what i want to do with this amazingly powerful address. this is what i want to make happen before the next general election. i think she will talk about things like the nhs and issues such as tax, growing the economy but there is one thing she has to hit there is one thing she has to hit the ground running on which is energy bills, cost of living, the biggest issue facing the country right now, and something that will define her premiership. i think she

knows she has to talk about that today. also the question of the conservative party's future. the last few weeks we have covered some of the bitter rows. when boris johnson leaves this morning he is likely to talk about the party uniting and needing to get behind the new prime minister, but that will be a challenge for herb. the make—up of cabinet will be important. i chatted to tory mps yesterday and a lot of those sceptical of ms truss said one thing she can do to reach out to them is appoint people from different wings of the party. from the plans i have seen for cabinet so far, i think thatis seen for cabinet so far, i think that is unlikely. i think we are looking at a loyalist cabinet with key allies in top jobs. but all these battles she will have in the next few weeks, nhs, political battles with her party and with the opposition. the biggest one is the

cost of living crisis and energy bills. if cost of living crisis and energy bills. , .., ,., , bills. if she can turn the polls around and — bills. if she can turn the polls around and give _ bills. if she can turn the polls around and give the - bills. if she can turn the polls - around and give the conservatives a boost she can buy time as far as challenges are concerned but if it does not go right quickly she could be in trouble? i does not go right quickly she could be in trouble?— be in trouble? i think her party will rive be in trouble? i think her party will give her — be in trouble? i think her party will give her the _ be in trouble? i think her party will give her the benefit - be in trouble? i think her party will give her the benefit of - be in trouble? i think her party will give her the benefit of the | will give her the benefit of the doubt for awhile but she has the party conference. she has to show what she wants to do certainly buy them. we got a hint from her yesterday in the brief speech, that we will not see a general election for a couple of years. she said that we will win in 2024, which was her message which suggests no early general election. but prime ministers are defined by what they do in the early period. if it does not go well it can be really hard to recover. she will probably get a bounce over the next days, more air time, a chance to sell herself to

the country. but she also comes in with a daunting in trade, huge economic crisis, potentially recession being confirmed, inflation getting higher and higher, the cost of living crisis. she is delighted to be prime minister. this is her big moment today, but the backdrop to it is as daunting as any prime minister has had in the past decades. . ~ minister has had in the past decades. ., ,, , ., ., , decades. thank you. you will be kee - in: decades. thank you. you will be keeping us _ decades. thank you. you will be keeping us company _ decades. thank you. you will be keeping us company through - decades. thank you. you will be | keeping us company through the programme because a lot will happen right here a couple of feet from where i am standing and boris johnson will leave here in about an hour and will take his final statement at around 7:30am. it will be interesting to see how he handles that moment and how he sets the tone of how we remember him in future and

then he goes to bar moral, offering his resignation formally to the queen. 0ur royal correspondent is there. the new prime minister being appointed would normally be at buckingham palace and not at balmoral. ~ , , ., balmoral. absolutely. good morning from balmoral— balmoral. absolutely. good morning from balmoral in _ balmoral. absolutely. good morning from balmoral in the _ balmoral. absolutely. good morning from balmoral in the scottish - from balmoral in the scottish highlands. the good news, it is not raining. the forecast has improved over night. 0ver there you see gates to balmoral, to the castle where the outgoing and incoming prime ministers will arrive later. it is almost 140 years since a british prime minister lars had to make a journey to the highlands to be appointed, 1885, the prime minister was lord salisbury and it was queen victoria. today it should be quicker than the days it took travelling then. borisjohnson will arrive

around 11:30am having been driven from aberdeen. he will tender his resignation to the queen in the of balmoral castle and shortly after midday, having been driven again the 45 miles from aberdeen, the incoming prime minister liz truss will arrive and she will meet the queen in the drawing room and be invited to form a government and, from that moment, she will be prime minister. it is known as the kissing of hands. there is no kissing, just a handshake. and then she returns to london as prime minister to begin work.— minister to begin work. thank you very much- _ minister to begin work. thank you very much- we — minister to begin work. thank you very much. we will _ minister to begin work. thank you very much. we will keep - minister to begin work. thank you very much. we will keep an - minister to begin work. thank you very much. we will keep an eye i minister to begin work. thank you | very much. we will keep an eye on things that balmoral. hopefully the rain will stay away. and i guess borisjohnson will need to know what he needs to wear to come out to speak to the world media and liz truss definitely needs to know because there are heavy storms

forecast later in the day. we can look through the papers. the front page of the daily mail, supportive of liz truss throughout her campaign and a nice smiling picture of her. it says no prime minister since margaret thatcher has had a tough in tray stop —— tougher in trade. the times headline is straight to business and focusing on energy bills. despite having said no more hand—outs in the early part of the leadership campaign, the understanding now is there will be a help for bill payers over the next weeks but we will get news of that on thursday. referring to that, the sun newspaper talking about about to

freeze energy bills. the guardian is more sceptical. asking if she can avert the looming crisis. questioning notjust the energy crisis, inflation, nhs, ukraine, climate change. it goes into detail about other issues the prime minister will have to deal with. and a visually striking front page... it has a rather strange picture with david cameron on the left. turning doctor who style into theresa may, into borisjohnson, who becomes liz truss. four consecutive conservative prime ministers, they have been here at downing street in the last six years. we will hear from a lot of guests throughout the programme in the conservative party and from their opponents, people who live and breathe politics and also people

around the country who are not bothered about the choreography of this. they want to know how it will affect their lives around the uk. let's cross now to college green and check in withjohn maguire. good morning. good morning. you have camera gantries, we have a tented village here. many representatives from the world media to cd an ointment of a new prime minister later. somebody who has known liz truss... we were figuring it out, 25-30 truss... we were figuring it out, 25—30 years since they were students at oxford university, is mark littlewood. director general of the institute of economic affairs. did you imagine, did she tell you she wanted to be world queen? i guess she was on — wanted to be world queen? i guess she was on the _ wanted to be world queen? i guess she was on the list _ wanted to be world queen? i guess she was on the list of— wanted to be world queen? i guess she was on the list of people - wanted to be world queen? i guess she was on the list of people you i she was on the list of people you thought might make it. people studying politics at oxford, a number of them go on to be prime

minister. if you tell me the odds when i first met her that she would be a minister i would say 1000—1. if you told me she would be prime minister with the backing ofjacob rees—mogg, i would say it was longer odds. she was quite a character at university. and she would have been on various lists as someone expected to make it to parliament. whether anyone thought she would get this high is a different question. qualities needed to climb to the top of the greasy pole. there is talk about how much she has changed. as a youngster she went on cnd marches and made an antimonarchist speech. as she changed? impersonality term is not at all. one feature that is unusual, which does not help you can't climb to the top of the poll is she is unbelievably outspoken,

you might say fantastically indiscreet. it is difficult to spend more than five minutes with her without knowing where she stands on an issue or about a particular person. most politicians who climb the greasy pole play their cards close to their chest. she has always been outspoken. a lot of people talk about her politicaljourney. she comes from a left—wing background with her parents. although she switched from liberal democrat to conservative and was on the remain side over brexit and now seems to be an enthusiastic brexiteer, she has changed policy positions. you are right i am sure she will not talk republicanism with the queen. but there has been a consistent underlying philosophy. a supporter of individual liberty, open and free markets, sceptical about vested interests and about what government can achieve. 0ften interests and about what government can achieve. often times thinking that does more harm than good. and

that does more harm than good. and that has been consistent since i knew her as a teenager. she has changed policy positions by applying that to different circumstances. if we get this intervention in the energy market, which most people are —— many people are clamouring for, does it mean she has changed her spots on the first day on the job? i have seen reports about the energy policy. she campaigned on let's go against treasury orthodoxy, gordon brown style economics. fixing the price of energy is not the long—term solution to the energy market. we need to get the government out of the way back to liberal open markets. we do not know how long the price fix would go on for. the energy market is broken in the uk with so much government intervention, notjust because of the problem in ukraine. i appreciate she has immediate pressure on her to

do something but i hope if there is price—fixing we quickly moved to the open free—market cheaper —— open free—market she supports. what open free-market cheaper -- open free-market she supports. what was her mood last _ free-market she supports. what was her mood last night, _ free-market she supports. what was her mood last night, you _ free-market she supports. what was her mood last night, you were - free-market she supports. what was her mood last night, you were at - free-market she supports. what was her mood last night, you were at her party? i her mood last night, you were at her .a ? ., her mood last night, you were at her -a ? ., ., her mood last night, you were at her .a ? ., ., ~' ., her mood last night, you were at her -a ? ., ., ~ ., , her mood last night, you were at her .a ? ., ., ~' ., , , party? i do not know where she gets the ener: party? i do not know where she gets the energy from- — party? i do not know where she gets the energy from. she _ party? i do not know where she gets the energy from. she still— party? i do not know where she gets the energy from. she still looks - the energy from. she still looks fresh when she should have had a summer holiday. her metabolic rate is high but she will have to work 20 hours days for a long while. mark littlewood, _ hours days for a long while. mark littlewood, thank _ hours days for a long while. mark littlewood, thank you. _ hours days for a long while. mark littlewood, thank you. an - hours days for a long while. mark littlewood, thank you. an insight into liz truss as the young woman, the young woman who later today will become prime minister. we are obsessed with the weather today because we expect some rain later. hopefully not in our time. i think you can tell us what is in store. i can. dry in london at the moment but may be heavy perhaps not as spectacular as those

that hit london and other parts last night. those storms have eased. the rain has moved on. across north—east england and central scotland. a gap between the showers in balmoral but we will see rain as we go through the middle part of the morning. showers and heavy downpours pushing away with a small chance of thunder. showers on the western coast of wales and south—west england which will develop more widely in the afternoon. still pretty warm but this afternoon temperatures down. in the afternoon, we will see showers develop more widely. this batch could work its way to london through the afternoon and evening. showers elsewhere are scattered. a greater chance of seeing rain at times through today compared to yesterday. bar dry in the middle part of the afternoon but showers moving their way northwards tonight which could merge into heavy and thundery rain

overnight. losing showers elsewhere. continuing to southern and western parts of england and wales and may be coastal northern ireland. another pretty warm night. the rest of the week, turning cooler with rain at times and low pressure dominating. one of two men accused of killing ten people in a series of mass stabbings in western canada has been found dead. damien sanderson's body was found in the james smith cree nation, while his brother myles sanderson remains at large. the attacks, which left another 18 people injured, are some of the worst acts of violence in canada's recent history. 0ur correspondent nomia iqbal reports. this is one of the worst acts of violence in canada's recent history. here in the capital of regina, it is late, it's fairly calm, people are out and about. but there is a huge manhunt under way and you are notified of that through your mobile phone. there are these piercing alerts that you get, warning people

to make their safety a priority. the police are looking for a man called myles sanderson. they have accused him and his brother, damien sanderson, of stabbing ten people death and injuring 18 others. but the body of damien sanderson has been found injames smith cree nation. it is an indigenous community where most of the victims were found. it is about a three—hour drive from where i am. these sorts of mass killings are pretty rare in canada, and the prime minister, justin trudeau, has given a press conference. he has described what has happened as heartbreaking and said the government is ready to help in any way it can. detectives investigating the fatal shooting of nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel, in liverpool, have been given a further 36 hours to question three suspects. a 34—year—old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in the early hours of sunday.

two other men, aged 29 and 41, are also being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. 0livia was shot in her home 15 days ago, as her mother tried to stop a gunman entering the family home. the duchess of sussex has given herfirst speech in the uk since she stepped down as a working royal. speaking in manchester at a global summit for young people, meghan told the audience about her own struggle for self—belief — as our correspondent judith moritz reports. # we're gonna celebrate, oh, yeah... as crowds go, this one was well warmed up before the headline act arrived. please welcome meghan and harry. if the duke and duchess of sussex were hoping for a positive reception, they got it. cheering and applause. young delegates from more than 200 countries watched meghan make herfirst speech in the uk since the couple moved to california. well, good evening, everyone. it is...very nice

to be back in the uk. she talked about how parenthood has changed her. i was now married and i was now a mom. seeing the global community through the eyes of my child, and i would ask, "what is this world he would come to adopt? "and what can we do — what can i do — to make it better?" i'm thrilled that my husband is able to join me here this time... applause. ..to be able to see and witness first hand my respect for this incredible organisation, and all that it provides and accomplishes. 0ne young world! this event has been carefully chosen by the duchess of sussex — she has a long connection with the organisation behind it — but it also means that she's speaking to an international — rather than solely a british — audience. security around the event was arranged privately — prince harry's currently embroiled in a legal dispute with the home 0ffice about his downgrading

of his police protection. the couple did get up close and personal with a few of those on stage, including halima aden, a somali american model who was born in a refugee camp. i look up to her as a young black woman myself. i feel like she's paving the way for a lot of women. you got a selfie. and i got my selfie, i'm a happy trooper! she approached me, so i was like, "i got to shoot my shot, it's now or never!" like, how often do you get to meet prince harry and meghan markle? so i was having a little fan—girl moment. got my selfie in and i'm so happy! the sussexes will hope for a similarly warm reception for the rest of their trip. for now, though, the selfie tells the story — smiles all round. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. we are back in downing street in a couple of minutes. time to get the news where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. an increasing number of e—bikes

being dumped on streets and by entrances to public places are said to be putting blind people off from coming into central london. the national federation for the blind say stranded bikes mean many visually imparied people were unable to travel confidently. this is what one visually impaired person had to say about it. a lot of the visually impaired and blind people, because of the bikes being left all over the pavement, they're having to find a different route to get to places — it'll take them a lot longer. pavements need to be safe because we need to get out and about and keep our independence. westminster city council says it's started to confiscate illegally parked bikes. and hire company lime says its committed to removing says it's committed to removing wrongly parked e—bikes. buses could be banned from tower bridge — as too many heavy vehicles are using it, and numbers have increased since restrictions were put on nearby london bridge. the city of london corporation fears that the weight of traffic on tower bridge will cause it structual damage. we have contacted transport

for london for a response. children at some primary schools in london are to be given support to try to prevent them from being excluded in the future. education experts believe they may have a chance to step in and guide pupils away from getting into trouble at an early stage — thereby preventing exclusions in later years. the key moment is very often the transition between primary school year six and into secondary school, and that's where we are putting a lot more support around young people because that's when they kind of sometimes get lost. a look at the tube board now. now the weather with elizabeth. hello, there, good morning. well, today's weather is looking fairly similar to how it was yesterday across the capital — so bright spells, also some showers — but today it will be cooler and it will be a bit breezier, as well. now, low pressure is currently

sitting out towards the west of us, and it's that that's just swirling around, giving us some more showery outbreaks of rain as we head through the next few days or so — so it will never be completely dry — but there'll also be some brighter spells around, as well. our low pressure just gradually shifts its way eastwards as we head throughout the working week, but only very slowly. it should, however, be a more settled weekend in store. now, this morning, well, it's a mostly dry start to the day, some brighter spells. there will be some areas of cloud around again today and a fresh southerly breeze. so the wind is picking up from where we were yesterday and the temperatures are generally lower, too — they'll peak at around 20 or 21 degrees celsius for most of us. there will be some more showers — mostly through the second half of the day. again, some of those showers likely to be heavy. they will generally fade away overnight tonight, a mostly dry night to follow with some clear spells and, again, it's a mild start to the day tomorrow. on wednesday, again, some sunny spells, temperatures peaking in the low 20s in celsius. so watch out for some showers again at times — that's also true for thursday.

that's it. but much more on today's transfer of power between the outgoing prime minister and the new one on bbc breakfast. hello, you're watching breakfast. welcome back to downing street. borisjohnson has spent his last night here, he is waking up this morning having his last practice as prime minister before he officially hand over power to liz truss later today. we have just hand over power to liz truss later today. we havejust seen hand over power to liz truss later today. we have just seen the first bits of technical kit being wheeled out because in about one hour, live on the programme, borisjohnson will emerge from number 10, on the programme, borisjohnson will emerge from number10, behind on the programme, borisjohnson will emerge from number 10, behind that door, and they will set up a lectin. i think they have marked it with some tape, where it will go. that

little bit there in the middle of the time i the take that marks where the time i the take that marks where the take that marks whether leftto will deliver his final speech as prime minister. how would he say goodbye? will there be digs or jokes? what will his tone be? later on, how does liz truss get her premiership? it has all of westminster talking but what most people around the uk want to know, what everybody wants to know, is what everybody wants to know, is what is liz truss going to do to tackle the cost—of—living crisis? what will she do about the fuel bills? are still waiting to find out what her policy will be. lots of speculation but nina is in leigh. the red wool seat for almost 100 years. borisjohnson won it for the conservatives in 2019 but can liz truss when it's back in terms of the election but before that in terms of new and policy? what are people saying about what they want from their new prime minister? that is a key question. this is a

lancashire's mining museum. have a look behind me at this massive totem of history. the trellis and winding gear used to go two thirds of a mile down into the ground, deep down, about the height of five blackpool towers on top of each other. men, women, and some small children also taking down there and they would hop onto diesel trains like this and be taken to the coalface. this part of the north west used to be surrounded by collier release. it could not have been more at labour. that is why in a 2019 when it fell to the conservatives, another brick in the redwall, it was nothing short of a political earthquake. since then, we have left the eu, there has been a global pandemic, and now we are into the depths of an energy crisis. i have been speaking to voters here in leigh about what they want from liz truss white i did notice that liz truss is

thatis were not sure what was going on and that is notjust in leigh, but many pies in the uk i have been to. it is not necessarily about liz truss or borisjohnson, it is just they not necessarily about liz truss or boris johnson, it is just they feel there has been such a change in politics they feel disconnected so perhaps one of the biggest challenges for liz truss anti—government is to restore a bit more engagement. == anti-government is to restore a bit more engagement.— more engagement. -- and her government- _ if you need a government, i reckon there are about 855 here because the media from around the world are here. thank you for now. we will speak to you later. how are the other political parties going to deal with a change of prime minister, change of conservative leader? let's ask one. i'm joined now by leader of the liberal democrats sir ed davey. good morning. good morning. he wanted izeoris _ good morning. good morning. he wanted boris johnson _ good morning. good morning. he wanted boris johnson gun, - good morning. good morning. he wanted boris johnson gun, he - good morning. good morning. he wanted boris johnson gun, he is. wanted borisjohnson gun, he is about to leave. are you prepared to give liz truss the benefit of the doubt to start with? i give liz truss the benefit of the doubt to start with?— give liz truss the benefit of the doubt to start with? i listened to her over -- _ doubt to start with? i listened to her over -- you _ doubt to start with? i listened to her over -- you wanted - doubt to start with? i listened to her over -- you wanted boris - doubt to start with? i listened to - her over -- you wanted boris johnson her over —— you wanted borisjohnson gun. i was shocked there was no plan

from her. no plan for the nhs, skyrocketing energy bills or food bills. i was really worried, the millions of patients and families who are really worried about the nhs waiting lists, how they will pay their energy bills. and there has been no plan. it's either she doesn't seem to get it why she doesn't seem to get it why she doesn't care and that is not acceptable.— doesn't care and that is not acce.tab[e_ . ., , ., , ., ., acceptable. what she was waiting to win and let acceptable. what she was waiting to win and get the _ acceptable. what she was waiting to win and get the job _ acceptable. what she was waiting to win and get the job and _ acceptable. what she was waiting to win and get the job and move - acceptable. what she was waiting to win and get the job and move in, - win and get thejob and move in, look through the books and finalise things. we understand she will release a plan, and it looks like a big plan, on thursday with a freeze on energy bills. the kind of thing you were talking about. the liberal democrats were _ you were talking about. the liberal democrats were the _ you were talking about. the liberal democrats were the first _ you were talking about. the liberal democrats were the first party - you were talking about. the liberal democrats were the first party to i democrats were the first party to call for a price freeze, that the cap stays where it is and energy bills do not go up this autumn. we are proud of that and said we should pay for it with a windfall tax on the oil and gas companies but what we are hearing from downing street, what you are referring to, is not a freeze. it is at loan will stop what

they are saying is that families and pensioners should pay this back for years to come. that's just not right, we should be asking the oil and gas companies were making tens of billions of pounds in profit... they never expected because putin invaded ukraine. we should be asking them to pay some of that back so that we can afford to freeze people's bills without actually having the loan system that it is rumoured liz truss once. i5 it is rumoured liz truss once. is that what you are expecting her to introduce when she makes this announcement on thursday, that it is this freeze on energy bills, maybe until the end of this parliament, for the next couple of years, which is then spread over the future, that people pay back over the next ten, 15 years, is that your understanding?- 15 years, is that your understanding? 15 years, is that your understandinl? . , ., �* ,, ., understanding? we “ust don't know. this is my whole — understanding? we just don't know. this is my whole point. _ understanding? we just don't know. this is my whole point. she - understanding? we just don't know. this is my whole point. she has - understanding? we just don't know. this is my whole point. she has had | this is my whole point. she has had weeks to tell us during the leadership election and she didn't speu leadership election and she didn't spell it out. in fact, she said she wasn't going to do anything. that is

unacceptable. there are notjust millions of families who are worried about how they will pay those bills, there are businesses who want to invest but the uncertainty and the fear of higher energy bills has meant those businesses are in trouble. the conservatives and liz truss have left people in this limbo, this uncertainty, and it looks like, if this plan of a loan, it transpires, that they haven't even developed an acceptable plan for the future. so the liberal democrats are really worried. we put forward our constructive alternative, which would be a genuine freeze on bills, paid for by a one—off tax on the oil and gas companies who are making these super profits. that seems a fair approach. it can work. ijust profits. that seems a fair approach. it can work. i just wish the conservatives would listen to this type of approach, which i think would help those millions of families and pensioners who are so worried. brute families and pensioners who are so worried. ~ ., families and pensioners who are so worried. . ., , , ., ., worried. we have spoken before about what some people _ worried. we have spoken before about what some people see _ worried. we have spoken before about what some people see as _ worried. we have spoken before about what some people see as the - worried. we have spoken before about what some people see as the pitfalls i what some people see as the pitfalls of a windfall tax. i don't want to get into that this morning but there

is a question for you that if there is a question for you that if there is a question for you that if there is a new prime minister, change of regime, with a big polity that people think will help them, there is a risk for you as opposition parties hear about knowing how to respond. how do you deal with a new prime minister? are you a bit rattled, worried about liz truss? not at all. to be honest, it is the conservative party that is the problem here. when we beat the conservative party in the three by—elections in the last year, in true blue buckinghamshire, in north shropshire where we took a seat they had held for 200 years, or east devon earlier this summer, overturning the large majority ever overturned, we talked to a lifelong conservative voters and it wasn't about borisjohnson, it was about the conservative party. they feel the conservative party. they feel the party has taken them for granted, doesn't have an answer to the problems in the nhs, the problems with higher inflation, and they were rejecting the conservative party. so, you know, of course we

want there to be real help for people, which is why the liberal democrats have set out however it carefully constructed plan which is costed to freeze people's bills and pay for it with a windfall tax. it is a clear, fair plan. but we are not hearing that from the conservatives, and it reflects what people told us in those by—elections when we beat the conservatives. they feel the conservatives don't get it or don't care, and our country deserves better than that. sir ed davey from _ deserves better than that. sir ed davey from the _ deserves better than that. sir ed davey from the liberal _ deserves better than that. sir ed l davey from the liberal democrats, thank you very much indeed for joining us this morning. joining me now are two people who are closely watching all the developments in westminster today — the spectator�*s katy balls, and sonia sodha from the observer. good morning to both of you. for people sitting at home watching this on tv, what do you feel? give us a sense of the feeling in downing street. i sense of the feeling in downing street. .. . sense of the feeling in downing street. ~' , ,., sense of the feeling in downing street. ~' , , street. i think there is some big luestion street. i think there is some big question marks _ street. i think there is some big question marks hanging - street. i think there is some big question marks hanging over. street. i think there is some big question marks hanging over liz truss, she is inheriting a really difficult in tray. there are some

big questions about exactly what she is going to do to ease the cost—of—living crisis, and so i think in the coming days people will be really expecting her to set out exactly what it is that she is going to do. is she talking about raising prices forfour to six to do. is she talking about raising prices for four to six months, or is it for longer? freezing wholesale prices or freezing bills that people pay? so i think there is going to be a lot of detail that comes out over the next few days and that will be what people are really focused on. katy, often the new prime minister has a honeymoon period. it is hard to think of that went on honeymoon in relation to what liz truss bases. if you look at where the conservatives are in the polls, labour — conservatives are in the polls, labour are _ conservatives are in the polls, labour are consistently ahead, you look at _ labour are consistently ahead, you look at the — labour are consistently ahead, you look at the in tray and i think the fact that. — look at the in tray and i think the fact that, also, in terms of her own party. _ fact that, also, in terms of her own party. by— fact that, also, in terms of her own party, by historical standards she has fewer— party, by historical standards she has fewer mps backing theresa may and boris _ has fewer mps backing theresa may and borisjohnson did in the parliamentary round the contest. the

do that, their line up until now is, where is the government? we have a plan and the government doesn't. they will have to adjust their messaging around that and the same for the lib dems. the lib dems also had a plan. 0nce liz truss has come out with hers they will have to adapt their messaging. potentially stealinl adapt their messaging. potentially stealing their _ adapt their messaging. potentially stealing their thunder _ adapt their messaging. potentially stealing their thunder but - adapt their messaging. potentially stealing their thunder but we i stealing their thunder but we shouldn't speak about thunder because there is talk of an almighty store near this afternoon, which is political metaphors �*r'us. boris johnson will give his final address what tone can we expect from him, how will you want to be remembered? he is trying to carve out his legacy whilst _ he is trying to carve out his legacy whilst leaving the door is slightly open. _ whilst leaving the door is slightly open. not — whilst leaving the door is slightly open, not ruling out a comeback. we know— open, not ruling out a comeback. we know he _ open, not ruling out a comeback. we know he prefers liz truss as a successor _ know he prefers liz truss as a successor over rishi sunak, he was not settled — successor over rishi sunak, he was not settled. nor were his supporters, nadine dorries, jacob rees—mogg. he will want to give liz truss—

making a comeback are zero, essentially, but i think one thing that will make liz truss' life difficult over the coming months is that idea that he might make a comeback isn't quite going to go away and you have a lot of mps on the back benches at the moment you are worried about losing their seats at the next election because the economic outlook is so grim and unhappy backbench mps, some of whom didn't back liz truss and may have a soft spot for boris johnson, that will not make for a calm atmosphere in the conservative party.

of thunderstorms around mid morning onwards. that could prove quite interesting in itself and some breezy conditions to go with it. return to london, the risk of further storms. thunderstorms across the uk today, not quite the intensity we saw last night, but compared with yesterday, when many places spent the dry, a greater chance of having at least one part of the day wet. here is at last night's thunderstorms. across england in particular. the lightning flashes have faded as we have gone into the morning. the area of rain has fragmented somewhat and is pushing its way towards scotland but, as i said, that will gradually work its way to balmoral through the morning. a mild morning, temperatures in the mid teens again but notice how those showers across southern areas and starts to blossom more to life. the rain of us scotland becomes heavier and persistent with rumbles of dundee. breezy to the north of it, breezy to

the south and west, a scattering of showers, best chance of staying dry for longest if not all day, northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england this afternoon. breezy to the north—west, the north—east and south—west. temperatures down a bit on it yesterday, but pleasant enough when those sunny moments between the downpours. the finish the day with nasty storms to east anglia and south—east, they were clear and then eyes to scotland with the risk of lighting and thunder. a few showers dotted around for the south tonight, more particularly to southern and western coasts and temperatures again sitting in the mid teens for many. another pretty mild and muggy night into wednesday. this is the trifle wednesday, low pressure satch to the south—west for the past few days. slowly started to make a move eastwards. what that means, showers are possible just about anywhere. we need to the southend west first thing is north of scotland where we will see more persistent rain. sunny

conditions developing for a time during the morning then a rash of showers which could come and go all day, one or two spots stain largely dry. pleasant enough in the sunshine but as the low pressure pushes eastwards, gradually through thursday to friday, still some showers around, it will start to feel that bit cooler. back showers around, it will start to feel that bit cooler. back to showers around, it will start to feel that bit cooler. back to you. thank you. we have the sports news. i'm really interested to know what you think might be going on with rafa nadal —— rafa. it is you think might be going on with rafa nadal -- rafa. it is strange. there is stuff _ rafa nadal -- rafa. it is strange. there is stuff going _ rafa nadal -- rafa. it is strange. there is stuff going on _ rafa nadal -- rafa. it is strange. there is stuff going on away i rafa nadal -- rafa. it is strange. there is stuff going on away from tennis. ile there is stuff going on away from tennis. . there is stuff going on away from tennis. , ., ., , _ there is stuff going on away from tennis-_ he - there is stuff going on away from | tennis._ he didn't tennis. he is not happy. he didn't seem in a — tennis. he is not happy. he didn't seem in a great _ tennis. he is not happy. he didn't seem in a great place. _ tennis. he is not happy. he didn't seem in a great place. perhaps i seem in a great place. perhaps something going on with his family were behind—the—scenes. i don't want to overstate it but he seems flat. we now know they will there's going to be a new first—time champion in the men's singles following rafa's exit, who said his mind was on other

matters after this defeat. it's the first time he's been beaten at a grand slam this year — the american frances tiafoe knocking out the four—time champion in four sets, ending any hopes of a record extending 23rd grand slam. afterwards, he was a bit cryptic on his state of mind and said he didn't know when he would be back on court. congrats to him, wish him all the very best. i need to go back, i need to fix things — life — and then... i don't know when i'm going to come back. i'm going to try to be...ready mentally. when i feel that i will be ready to compete again, i will be there. he says he needs to head off to fix things. the super—chilled can norrie says he needs to rev himself up a bit more out on court after a flat fourth round exit. the last brit standing in the singles said he was too relaxed heading into his match with russia's andrey rublev, but after smashing his racket in the third set felt he then actually played his best tennis.

and will look to bring a bit more energy to his game. it feels like its opening up for nick kyrgios. it is all heading up for him. he brings his energy to court. energy is one word- _ brings his energy to court. energy is one word. takes _ brings his energy to court. energy is one word. takes over _ brings his energy to court. energy is one word. takes over from i brings his energy to court. energy| is one word. takes over from time brings his energy to court. energy i is one word. takes over from time to time. is one word. takes over from time to time- need — is one word. takes over from time to time- need to _ is one word. takes over from time to time. need to bottle _ is one word. takes over from time to time. need to bottle some _ is one word. takes over from time to time. need to bottle some of - is one word. takes over from time to time. need to bottle some of that. i there's going to be a new champion in the women's singles. top seed iga swiatek avoided an upset, recovering to beat jule niemeier and reach herfirst quarterfinal in new york. coco gauff is also through. now, what a year it's already been for welsh football — the men's side heading to their first world cup in 64 years, now the women's team have a chance tonight to move into the play—offs of world cup qualifying, too. a match against slovenia — the biggest in their history. wales have never qualified for a major tournament and will see a record attendance at the cardiff city stadium — nearly 12,000 fans, more than double their previous record. and all they need is a draw — just a point to the next stage,

after beating greece last friday. the belief that i have, the staff have, in the team is something that we've had from day one. so game ten doesn't excite me any more than any of the others did, because we do very much focus on what we need to do to perform, and that's really important to us. so i'm happy to... you know, i'm happy that if the fans think that, then they can get excited around that. but i'm very much focused on what i want this team to do, and it's to do the best they can so that we can qualify for tournaments consistently, because that's what we need to do. what a night ahead! scotland are already sure of their play—off place, but play faroe islands, northern ireland go to latvia, while england are back on home soil for the first time since beating germany to win the european championships. what an occasion it'll be in front of a sell—out crowd of 30,000 at stoke city's stadium with world cup qualification already secure. they face luxembourg, who, worth pointing out, england beat 10—0 last time out. so you can imagine, in front of that

crowd, what an occasion after the highs of the summer. fiur highs of the summer. our expectations _ highs of the summer. our expectations are - highs of the summer. our expectations are now i highs of the summer. 0ur expectations are now really high. highs of the summer. our- expectations are now really high. a expectations are now really high. little but they were very relaxed and chilled when they got the job done to qualify to go to the world cup and you think now, with the pressure off and what an occasion tonight. pressure off and what an occasion tonilht. ., .. pressure off and what an occasion tonilht. ., ,, i. , pressure off and what an occasion tonilht. ., ,, ,, , . tonight. thank you very much indeed. we are back — tonight. thank you very much indeed. we are back in _ tonight. thank you very much indeed. we are back in downing _ tonight. thank you very much indeed. we are back in downing street - tonight. thank you very much indeed. we are back in downing street in i tonight. thank you very much indeed. we are back in downing street in a i we are back in downing street in a couple of minutes. we will see boris johnson leave number 10 around 7:30am. we will take that moment alive. you can go to downing street now, i think they are bringing the podium out. that is where he will stand, say a few words, make a statement. 7:30am. you can watch it on the programme and then he will leave and go to balmoral time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. an increasing number of e—bikes being dumped on streets

and by entrances to public places are said to be putting blind people off from coming into central london. the national federation for the blind say stranded bikes mean many visually imparied people were unable to travel confidently. this is what one visually impaired person had to say about it. a lot of visually impaired and blind people, because of the bikes being left all over the pavement, they're having to find a different route to get to places — it'll take them a lot longer. pavements need to be safe because we need to get out and about and keep our independence. westminster city council says it's started to confiscate illegally parked bikes. and hire company lime says its committed to removing wrongly parked e—bikes. buses could be banned from tower bridge as too many heavy vehicles are using it. and numbers have increased since restrictions were put on nearby london bridge. the city of london corporation fears that the weight of traffic on tower bridge will cause it structual damage.

on tower bridge will cause it structural damage. we have contacted transport for london for a response. children at some primary schools in london are to be given support to try to prevent them from being excluded in the future. education experts believe they may have a chance to step—in and guide pupils away from getting into trouble at an early stage — thereby preventing exclusions in later years. the key moment is very often the transition between primary school year six and into secondary school, and that's where we are putting a lot more support around young people because that's when they kind of sometimes get lost. a look at the tube board now. victoria line has a signal failure at king's cross. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. well, today's weather is looking fairly similar to how it was yesterday across the capital — so bright spells, also some showers — but today it will be cooler and it

will be a bit breezier, as well. now, low pressure is currently sitting out towards the west of us, and it's that that's just swirling around, giving us some more showery outbreaks of rain as we head through the next few days or so — so it will never be completely dry — but there'll also be some brighter spells around, as well. our low pressure just gradually shifts its way eastwards as we head throughout the working week, but only very slowly. it should, however, be a more settled weekend in store. now, this morning, well, it's a mostly dry start to the day, some brighter spells. there will be some areas of cloud around again today and a fresh southerly breeze. so the wind is picking up from where we were yesterday and the temperatures are generally lower, too — they'll peak at around 20 or 21 degrees celsius for most of us. there will be some more showers — mostly through the second half of the day. again, some of those showers likely to be heavy. they will generally fade away overnight tonight, a mostly dry night to follow with some clear spells and, again, it's a mild start to the day tomorrow. on wednesday, again, some sunny spells, temperatures peaking in the low 20s in celsius. so watch out for some

showers again at times — that's also true for thursday. that's it. you can keep across all the latest on your local bbc radio station throughout the morning. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay here in downing street on the day a new prime minister is appointed. and sally nugent is in the studio in salford. 0ur headlines today. liz truss will be handed the keys to number 10 this afternoon after beating conservative leadership rival rishi sunak to the top job. but first, borisjohnson will give a final speech just behind me before flying to balmoral to meet the queen and formally resign. we'll bring you that live on the programme in the next half—hour.

we'll look at what's in liz truss's very full in—tray when she walks through that famous black door. including how to tackle soaring energy costs. also this morning — one of two suspects in sunday's mass stabbings in western canada has been found dead, but the other remains at large. in sport... as rafa nadal falls at flushing meadows, how the men's draw�*s left wide open at the us open. after another night of spectacular storms, sunshine and thunder showers across the uk and i will have the details on when you can expect them. it's tuesday, the 6th of september. our main story. we are in downing street because in

the next few hours everything changes. number10 the next few hours everything changes. number 10 gets a new resident, liz truss was elected leader of the party yesterday. before she takes over, borisjohnson has to leave downing street and in the next minutes, we expect him to walk out of the door for the final time before going to balmoral. the podium has been set up and we have had the testing, testing, the microphone is working. the weather his holding off. there had been worries about storms which would be some end to the borisjohnson years but 0k some end to the borisjohnson years but ok for now. he will speak shortly and we will hear his words and reflect on his premiership and look ahead to the massive challenges for the new prime minister. a summary now from iain watson. in one day, we'll hear from two prime ministers. in this street, a transfer of power will take place without a general election. early this morning, borisjohnson will give his final speech as prime minister.

then, late this afternoon, liz truss, his successor, chosen by conservative members, will set out her stall. but what will happen in between? the queen is still in residence at balmoral, so borisjohnson will fly to scotland to resign, and liz truss will make the same journey to be asked by the queen to form a government. then she'll get the keys to downing street and get to work. i campaigned as a conservative and i will govern as a conservative. cheering and applause. and, my friends, we need to show that we will deliver over the next two years. i will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. i will deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's

energy bills, but also dealing with the long—term issues we have on energy supply. she'll announce her new cabinet — the very top jobs in government — this evening. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, is likely to move next door to her at number 11 downing street, as chancellor. former leadership candidate suella braverman seems set to become home secretary. and education secretary james cleverly is expected to take over from liz truss at the foreign office. liz truss will face daunting challenges on multiple fronts. a substantial nhs backlog even before we reach winter. a war in europe, with the need for continued support for ukraine. and at the very summit of her overflowing in—tray, the cost—of—living crisis and burgeoning energy bills. there can be nojustification for not freezing energy prices. there's a political consensus that that needs to happen. she needs to answer the question, how's she going to pay for that? labour have been clear there needs to be a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. so she needs to show that she actually understands and can meet the challenges that

are there after 12 years of failure of this tory government. liz truss has proved she can run a successful campaign. but running a government — especially in times like these — well, that will be a more testing challenge. iain watson, bbc news, westminster. and going into downing street this morning, the culture secretary nadeem darius and borisjohnson's sister rachel in the navy dress going in. family and close political colleagues and friends going into downing street. they will emerge shortly. we have seen other members of the cabinet lining up down the road and they will be ushered into position for boris johnson road and they will be ushered into position for borisjohnson to deliver his final speech. i can run you through the next hours. we think the speech will be at 7:30am so in the speech will be at 7:30am so in the next 20 minutes. but there is an anticipation that suggests it might be earlier. the podium has come out

sooner than we thought. that will be in the next few minutes. boris johnson will leave downing street and rather go to buckingham palace which normally happens, he will see the queen at balmoral where she is spending the summer. that is where borisjohnson will spending the summer. that is where boris johnson will formally spending the summer. that is where borisjohnson will formally resign. boris johnson will formally resign. liz borisjohnson will formally resign. liz truss then goes in separately to bow moral. she meets the queen, who asks her to form a government. that is the moment when liz truss officially becomes prime minister. that did not happen yesterday officially. that happens at lunchtime today. liz truss then returns to downing street, walks up the street to deliver her first speech this afternoon, weather permitting, because there is thunder and lightning, and it is then expected she will appoint her cabinet, straight to work, thinking of the energy bill policy announced on thursday. and prime minister's

questions tomorrow lunchtime. all of that in the next hours. the noise volumes are rising here as the photographers elbow one another to get the perfect position. nick eardley is with me here. shall we talk about borisjohnson first. how does he use his final act as prime minister, how does he pitch this? it as prime minister, how does he pitch this? , ~, as prime minister, how does he pitch this? , ..y ,., this? it is basically his farewell s-eech this? it is basically his farewell speech and _ this? it is basically his farewell speech and i— this? it is basically his farewell speech and i reckon _ this? it is basically his farewell speech and i reckon in - this? it is basically his farewell speech and i reckon in half i this? it is basically his farewell speech and i reckon in half an l this? it is basically his farewell i speech and i reckon in half an hour we will hear borisjohnson talk about what he thinks his achievements are, he will probably talk about brexit, ukraine, the vaccine against covid, and probably urge his party to unite. a fractured party over the past weeks and years, as well. i think we will get a message like that from him. he will be surrounded by his cabinet and i think we will see close family and

friends. interesting to see nadine dorries going through the door, that will be the last time. she is leaving cabinet, she will resign when borisjohnson goes. potentially to head to the house of lords. that has not been confirmed but there is speculation. we will see changes in cabinet. priti patel, the home secretary will go as well. kwasi kwarteng will move in. a day of political theatre. this afternoon we have the political vision from liz truss where she sets out what she wants to do with power.— wants to do with power. downing street is full _ wants to do with power. downing street is full of _ wants to do with power. downing street is full of energy _ wants to do with power. downing street is full of energy and i street is full of energy and anticipation this morning but energy is the word. energy costs, that is her first priority.— is the word. energy costs, that is her first priority. straightaway. as we have said _ her first priority. straightaway. as we have said since _ her first priority. straightaway. as we have said since yesterday i we have said since yesterday morning, it is the issue that will define liz truss' early period in

power. she will give a speech later this week when she will talk about what she wants to do. chatting to her team this morning, they say the final details of what that will be have not been signed off. i would expect it to involve a price freeze of some sort, probably funded by loans to energy companies that will be paid off over a long period of time, may be up to 20 years. that will not be welcomed by everybody. some tories do not like it and think universal support is a bad idea. some in the labour party, snp, liberal democrats, say you should tax the oil and gas companies to make sure the money is coming from the people profiting from high energy prices. 0ver the people profiting from high energy prices. over the past weeks, liz truss has pitched herself as a low tax, small state tory. i think what we will see this week is commitments to lower taxes, also

some big interventions and big spending, as well. we some big interventions and big spending, as well.— some big interventions and big spending, as well. we are going to let spending, as well. we are going to get tangled — spending, as well. we are going to get tangled up _ spending, as well. we are going to get tangled up because _ spending, as well. we are going to get tangled up because there i spending, as well. we are going to get tangled up because there is i spending, as well. we are going to get tangled up because there is a i get tangled up because there is a man with an important cable that will allow us to hear borisjohnson. we are covered in bits of cable. we will get through this. and in the next minutes we will hear from boris johnson but other important news around so we will go back to sally in the studio. a man thought to be in his 20s has died after being shot by police, following a pursuit yesterday evening. the metropolitan police say he was travelling in a vehicle which was stopped in the streatham hill area of south london. he was airlifted to hopsital where he later died. the independent office for police conduct have launched an independent investigation. one of two men accused of killing 10 people in a series of mass stabbings in western canada has been found dead. damien sanderson's body was found in the james

are on downing street where there is are on downing street where there is a major transition of power about to happen. historic moments coming up in the next hour and we can go straight back tojon. we understand boris and carriejohnson are back in downing street. i think they have been staying at chequers, the country residence, having taken out their belongings, but they are back saying goodbye to staff, and friends and family are gathering inside and we expect him to leave in the next minutes. i havejust seen we expect him to leave in the next minutes. i have just seen somebody come out with the pieces of paper. and they put them on the podium so we think the speech is ready for him so it could happen at any moment. when we get the new prime minister and liz truss arrives this afternoon, how do the opposition deal with her new policies and how did they handle this new era in

british politics? we can speak to angela rayner. good morning. good morning. can we start on energy bills. this is the only thing people care about right now. people waiting to find out what liz truss will do and it sounds like she might freeze bills the next couple of years, maybe go further than you have called for. i maybe go further than you have called for. ., . . maybe go further than you have called for-— called for. i assume you would welcome _ called for. i assume you would welcome mat? _ called for. i assume you would welcome mat? people - called for. i assume you would welcome mat? people are i called for. i assume you would i welcome mat? people are absolutely petrified about the energy bills coming their way. and businesses are. we need an answer to this and it is urgent liz truss deals with this immediately. we said there should be an energy freeze and that we should pay for it with a windfall tax on gas and oil companies that have made huge profits. liz truss has not said that and the concern is how we pay for it when national debt is going up. the people who are working hard seem to be paying the

most in this country and that does not seem to be any different under liz truss he has been part of the borisjohnson cabinet. but liz truss he has been part of the boris johnson cabinet.— boris johnson cabinet. but if she announces _ boris johnson cabinet. but if she announces she _ boris johnson cabinet. but if she announces she is _ boris johnson cabinet. but if she announces she is freezing i boris johnson cabinet. but if she announces she is freezing bills, i announces she is freezing bills, which so many people, millions across the country are waiting to hear, if she does that it could be a political gamechanger. how do you deal with that as labour?— political gamechanger. how do you deal with that as labour? labour has led the way on _ deal with that as labour? labour has led the way on this, _ deal with that as labour? labour has led the way on this, when rishi i led the way on this, when rishi sunak was in the treasury we called for a windfall tax and support and they did that eventually and labour has called for this for months and now the government hopefully will do something about it. but businesses and households have been panicking about what will happen and this government has been behind the curve and still do not seem to have the answers about how they will tackle inequality which has grown in the uk under the conservatives, and have a

more medium—term plan on how we will deal with energy. we cannotjust keep capping and windfall tax in, we have to deal with renewables and insulated homes so people are more self reliant on making sure energy costs come down and this government have not had a plan for that. we cannot blunder from one crisis to the next, we need long—term solutions and labour have plans. i have not seen that from the government including this new prime minister. , , government including this new prime minister. , ._ , government including this new prime minister. , , , ., , , minister. thursday is when we assume we will aet minister. thursday is when we assume we will get the — minister. thursday is when we assume we will get the firm _ minister. thursday is when we assume we will get the firm plans _ minister. thursday is when we assume we will get the firm plans from - minister. thursday is when we assume we will get the firm plans from liz - we will get the firm plans from liz truss. as i speak to you, downing street is buzzing. borisjohnson�*s best mates and colleagues and family are coming out of number 10 and gathering to make his last few comments, farewell speech. his family, backbench mps, have come to see him off and waved him goodbye

and no doubt there will be more this afternoon here when liz truss takes over. as a prominent, the most prominent female labour politician, do you look at the conservative party and say this is their third female leader. third female prime minister. labour have never had a permanent female leader. do you think about this and think where are labour going wrong? we think about this and think where are labour going wrong?— labour going wrong? we have seen boris johnson _ labour going wrong? we have seen boris johnson going _ labour going wrong? we have seen boris johnson going on _ labour going wrong? we have seen boris johnson going on holiday - labour going wrong? we have seen boris johnson going on holiday and | borisjohnson going on holiday and enjoying himself when the rest of the country have been petrified. i have businesses locally who are saying they will not be able to survive and we have households struggling. most people are looking at that and thinking so what, what are you doing to help people in this country? they are struggling. it is great his mates are there to see him off, but the rest of the country is

not buzzing, they are looking and seeing it is taking longer to get things done. public services are collapsing, nhs struggling, trying to get a passport or driving licence. all of the government departments are struggling. the government have done nothing to support them over the past couple of years. they have been distracted by scandal. therefore it is great we have a woman prime minister but what we want to see is action to support people of this country.— people of this country. angela ra ner, people of this country. angela rayner, thank _ people of this country. angela rayner, thank you _ people of this country. angela rayner, thank you for - people of this country. angela rayner, thank you forjoiningl people of this country. angela i rayner, thank you forjoining us. the energy levels here in downing street are rising by the moment as we wait for borisjohnson to appear from the front door and to give his speech. we can see his friends and family are gathering. some of them coming out of number 11 and waiting on the steps there. further down the road, you can see some of his

conservative backbenchers. and racheljohnson. the prime minister's sister. with nadine dorries in the trainers, the culture secretary, taking their places in that group. for those close to borisjohnson, family and friends, it is a sad day. we know how loyal and what a close friend nadine dorries is. they will be sorry to see him go. they regret what has happened but the conservative party resetting under liz truss. we know there was a majority of mps who wanted to get rid of him. how will he use this moment? how will he use his final speech in the next moments at that podium? how does he make use of this to try to determine how we all remember him and his three years inside that famous house. and what clues might he give about how he faces the future, about his own

plans, how he will behave as a former prime minister? we have talked this morning how troublesome former prime ministers can beat the new incumbent. will he be the joking borisjohnson new incumbent. will he be the joking boris johnson that we new incumbent. will he be the joking borisjohnson that we sometimes see? will he play it straight and will this be a more formal farewell. will he play it straight and will this be a more formalfarewell. we will find out in the next minutes. i have never seen so many mps with cameras at the ready, getting a selfie, the picture the last moment they were there with borisjohnson. chief political correspondent is with us. some of them look quite emotional, hugging and kissing and looking very sorry. fix, emotional, hugging and kissing and looking very sorry. pa, lat emotional, hugging and kissing and looking very sorry-— looking very sorry. a lot of the politicians _ looking very sorry. a lot of the politicians you _ looking very sorry. a lot of the politicians you can _ looking very sorry. a lot of the politicians you can see - looking very sorry. a lot of the politicians you can see on - looking very sorry. a lot of the l politicians you can see on screen right now have been prominent supporters of borisjohnson. their political careers have been linked to the rise of borisjohnson. nadine dorries, who wanted him to be prime

minister. her cabinet career is over, she will resign as sooner he does. fora over, she will resign as sooner he does. for a lot of these politicians, this is an emotional moment. they are angry their party brought the prime minister down. fundamentally, borisjohnson is now out of power and he will be out of office in a few minutes. i think what we will hear from him is yes, a bit of a valedictory, talking about what he did in power and his achievements. and also an appeal for unity in the party. we know the country faces economic turbulence. we know that over the next weeks and months the cost of living will be the dominating issue. i think you will hearfrom borisjohnson the dominating issue. i think you will hear from borisjohnson a the dominating issue. i think you will hearfrom borisjohnson a bit of a pledge, a plea, will hearfrom borisjohnson a bit ofa pledge, a plea, i will hearfrom borisjohnson a bit of a pledge, a plea, ishould will hearfrom borisjohnson a bit of a pledge, a plea, i should say, to reunite in his party and get behind his successor liz truss and allow her to get on with the

business of governing. for the last few months on breakfast, the last few months on breakfast, the last few years, we have covered almost every week the turbulence in the conservative party. i do not think thatis conservative party. i do not think that is over by any stretch. i think we will hear borisjohnson plea to mps to allow the new prime minister to get on with the job and deal with the economic crisis. it is to get on with the job and deal with the economic crisis.— the economic crisis. it is almost as interesting. _ the economic crisis. it is almost as interesting, looking _ the economic crisis. it is almost as interesting, looking at _ the economic crisis. it is almost as interesting, looking at pictures - the economic crisis. it is almost as interesting, looking at pictures ofl interesting, looking at pictures of who is here, who is not here. is michael gove coming up to say farewell? i michael gove coming up to say farewell? ~' ., , farewell? i think we will not see michael gove. _ farewell? i think we will not see michael gove. that _ farewell? i think we will not see michael gove. that would - farewell? i think we will not see michael gove. that would be . farewell? i think we will not see | michael gove. that would be my farewell? i think we will not see - michael gove. that would be my best. i am not sure he will be invited. the relationship has not recovered since he was sacked in one of boris johnson's last moves before announcing his plan to resign. several cabinet ministers are there. i can see jacob rees—mogg. the

scottish secretary, alisterjack. the leader of the commons. defence secretary ben wallace. a lot of people who have had... you can see the northern ireland secretary on his phone who has not been imposed long. do not think he will be imposed by the end of the week. making the most of this moment. getting his video while he can. you have a lot of the cabinet, people who are sad to see borisjohnson go. interesting talking to tory mps over the past weeks over the summer, there was a sense of buyer's remorse. some regretful mrjohnson had been brought down. some hoping maybe that we have not seen the last of him. i think his message is going to be about what he has done in power and what he considers his achievements to be, but also what needs to happen now. and the country facing inflation going up, high

energy bills, the prospect of a energy bius, the prospect of a pretty serious energy bills, the prospect of a pretty serious recession. it is a serious moment for the country and i think the prime minister will probably want to reflect that as he leaves number 10 the last time. watching the pictures, and wondering where the prime minister elected liz truss is. i suppose we would not expect her to be here. she does not want to be the focus of attention. i wonder what she will think watching this. she will have not much time to enjoy her arrival. she will be into the office and dealing with the groaning in trade. i the office and dealing with the groaning in trade.— groaning in trade. i remember standin: groaning in trade. i remember standing here _ groaning in trade. i remember standing here three _ groaning in trade. i remember standing here three years - groaning in trade. i remember standing here three years ago | groaning in trade. i remember- standing here three years ago when borisjohnson became prime minister and saying what a daunting in trade, trying to get a brexit deal and force it through parliament. he had a few weeks and proved a few months to do that. liz truss has a couple of days before she needs to sell her

vision to the country of how she is going to help with the cost of living. we will start to see some of that this afternoon. she will want to give a big pitch for power. in terms of specifics, we will probably see those on thursday. that is not long to finish off a plan that is going to have to help millions of people and thousands of businesses through what will be a turbulent winter. i think it will be a big plan involving a lot of money and some sort of energy price freeze with the current cap kept in place in some form. that will have to happen immediately. she has to hit the ground running. this afternoon, that vision she sets out as new prime minister, it is a big moment and she will not have long to get going. we and she will not have long to get anoin. ~ ., and she will not have long to get ..oin, . ., ., and she will not have long to get anoin. . ., ., ., , going. we heard from the voters in leiah in going. we heard from the voters in leigh in greater _ going. we heard from the voters in leigh in greater manchester, - going. we heard from the voters in leigh in greater manchester, a - going. we heard from the voters in | leigh in greater manchester, a tory seat at the last election but saying

quickly. what we hear over the next minutes will not really matter in how borisjohnson is remembered. his own vision of what he delivered in power over the last three years. but ultimately, what matters today is what we hear this afternoon from the new prime minister and what we hear from her over the next day is about how she will tackle the cost of living crisis.— how she will tackle the cost of livin: crisis. ., , ., living crisis. two minutes, we are told. living crisis. two minutes, we are told- that — living crisis. two minutes, we are told- that is _ living crisis. two minutes, we are told. that is grant _ living crisis. two minutes, we are told. that is grant shapps, - told. that is grant shapps, transport secretary. scottish secretary _ transport secretary. scottish secretary alistairjack. - transport secretary. scottish secretary alistairjack. jacob | secretary alistairjack. jacob rees—mogg. secretary alistairjack. jacob rees-mogg-_ secretary alistairjack. jacob rees-mon.�* , rees-mogg. and his son, jacob rees-mogg _ rees-mogg. and his son, jacob rees-mogg has _ rees-mogg. and his son, jacob rees-mogg has brought - rees-mogg. and his son, jacob rees-mogg has brought his - rees-mogg. and his son, jacob| rees-mogg has brought his child rees—mogg has brought his child here. and we understand jacob rees—mogg will be back in a liz truss cabinet. the rees-mogg will be back in a liz truss cabinet.— rees-mogg will be back in a liz truss cabinet. the latest i heard there is a _ truss cabinet. the latest i heard there is a chance _ truss cabinet. the latest i heard there is a chance he _ truss cabinet. the latest i heard there is a chance he will - truss cabinet. the latest i heard there is a chance he will be - there is a chance he will be business secretary. he has been involved in meetings with energy companies the past days, talking about the big plan liz truss has to freeze prices, talking about how

prime minister borisjohnson is about to walk out of the front door and come up to the podium and give that valedictory address. that speech where he sums up what he says he has achieved. and gives us a sense of how he hopes to be remembered. it is interesting looking at different parts of the party here, divided on brexit, on what to do about the economy and the cost of living. how liz truss holds this party together going forward. whatever she does, and if this energy plan is as big as is noted, there are a lot of people probably in this street now who don't like it. if in this street now who don't like it. , h, . in this street now who don't like it. , . , it. if it is universal, which is what we _ it. if it is universal, which is what we are _ it. if it is universal, which is what we are expecting... i it. if it is universal, which is - what we are expecting... everybody nets hel ? what we are expecting... everybody gets help? here _ what we are expecting... everybody gets help? here is _ what we are expecting... everybody gets help? here is the _ what we are expecting. .. everybody gets help? here is the door- what we are expecting... everybodyl gets help? here is the door opening. cheering

this conservative government. cheering people who organised those prompt early supplies of weapons to heroic ukrainian forces, an action that may very well have helped change the course of the biggest european work for 18 years. and because of the speed and urgency of what you did, everybody involved in this government, to get this economy moving again from july last year, in spite of all the opposition, all the naysayers, we have and will continue to have that economic strength to give people the cash they need to get through this energy crisis that has been caused by putin's vicious war. cheering and i note that liz truss in this compassionate conservative government will do everything we can to get people through this crisis, and this country will endure it and

we will win. and if putin thinks that he can succeed by blackmailing or bullying the british people, then he is totally deluded. and the reason we will have those funds now and in the future is because we conservatives understand the vital symmetry between government action and free market capitalist private sector enterprise. we are delivering on those huge manifesto commitments, making streets safer, neighbourhood crime down 38% in the last three years. 13,790 more police on the streets. building more hospitals and, yes, we will have 50,000 more nurses by the end of the decade and 40 nurses by the end of the decade and a0 more hospitals by the end... 50,000 by the end of this parliament, i should say! a0 more hospitals by the end of the decade. putting more into teachers pay. giving everyone over 18 a lifetime skill guarantee so they can keep upskilling throughout their life.

three new high—speed rail lines, including northern powerhouse rail. colossal road programmes from the pennines to cornwall. the roll—out of gigabit broadband up over the last three years, i am proud to say, since you were kind enough to elect me from 7% of our country's premises having gigabit broadband to 70% today. we are of course providing the short and long—term solutions for our energy needs and notjust using more of our own domestic hydrocarbons but going up, by 2030, 258 gigawatts of wind power, but is half this country's energy, electricity needs from offshore wind alone. a new nuclear reactor every year. and looking at what is happening in this country, the changes that are taking place, that is why private sector investment is flooding in. work private sector, more venture capital investment than china itself, more billion pound tech companies sprouting here in the

uk, but no in france, germany and israel combined. and, as a result, unemployment as i leave office, unemployment as i leave office, unemployment down to lows not seen since i was about ten years old and bouncing around on a space hopper, my friends. cheering applause 0n the subject of bouncing around in future careers... let me say that i am nowt like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function, and i will now be gently re—entering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the pacific. laughter and like cincinnatus, i am returning to my plough and i will be offering this government nothing but the most fervent support. this is... i will tell you why. this is a tough time for the economy. this is a tough time forfamilies up for the economy. this is a tough time for families up and down the

country. we can and we will get through it, we will come out stronger the other side. but i say to my fellow conservatives, it's time for politics to be over, folks. it's time for us all to get behind liz truss and her team as a programme, and deliverfor the programme, and deliver for the people programme, and deliverfor the people of this country because that is what the people of this country want, that's what they need, and that's what they deserved. i'm proud to have discharged the promises i made to my party when you were kind enough to choose me. winning the biggest majority since 1987. the biggest majority since 1987. the biggest share of the vote since 1979. delivering brexit, delivering our manifesto commitments including, by the way, including social care, reforming social care, helping people up and down the country, ensuring britain is once again standing tall in the world. speaking with clarity and authority from

ukraine to the aukus pact with australia. we are one whole and entire united kingdom, whose diplomat security services and armed forces are so globally admired. and, by the way, as i leave i believe our union is so strong that those who want to break it up, they will keep trying but they will never, ever succeed. thank you to everybody behind me in this building. thank you to all of you in government. and thank you, everybody who has helped look after me and my family over the last three years, including dilyn, thejob. and i say to my party if dilyn and larry can put behind them the occasional difficulties, then so can the conservative party. above all, thanks to you, the british people. to the voters for giving me the chance to serve all of you who

worked so tirelessly together to beat covid, to put us where we are today. together, we have laid foundations that will stand the test of time, whether by taking back control of our laws, or putting in vital new infrastructure. great solid masonry on which we will continue to build together stop paving... paving the path of prosperity now and for future generations. and i will be supporting liz truss and the new government every step of the way. thank you all very much. thank you and goodbye. thank you. cheering borisjohnson boris johnson takes his borisjohnson takes his wife's hand, says goodbye to friends, conservative colleagues... and

family. won last handshake forjacob rees—mogg and his son before prime minister borisjohnson leaves downing street for the last time. and it did sound, from what he said, that he doesn't see this as the last time. he was pledging loyalty to liz truss's government, talking about the conservative party putting differences behind it, moving on, sticking together. there was no hint or suggestion about trying to interject from the backbenches. he said he would back carefully. one last round of applause from the crowd here. as he disappears from downing street into the autumn sun on whitehall. and it was

interesting. as someone who has taught throughout his premiership, perhaps throughout his political career, about positivity and boosterism and sunshine. just at the moment as he came out and stood at that podium, the sun filled downing street. it is almost like he knew what time but that was going to happen. so the cavalcade leaves here. prime minister borisjohnson will no longer be prime minister in a few hours,. that was classic boris johnson, wasn't it?— johnson, wasn't it? yeah, i mean, look, he clearly _ johnson, wasn't it? yeah, i mean, look, he clearly wanted _ johnson, wasn't it? yeah, i mean, look, he clearly wanted to - johnson, wasn't it? yeah, i mean, look, he clearly wanted to try - johnson, wasn't it? yeah, i mean, look, he clearly wanted to try and | look, he clearly wanted to try and defend his record and say maybe i haven't had as long as i wanted in power but here are the things i have done that i'm proud of. all that mention of brexit, of the covid vaccine, of ukraine. gigabit broadband was something he wanted to talk a lot about. but i think there are three really important things to

take away from that speech. firstly, borisjohnson made it pretty clear that he is still a bit bitter about the way he was disposed of and about his party changing the rules halfway through. it his party changing the rules halfway throuuh. ., ., , ., through. it turned out to be a relay race? exactly. _ through. it turned out to be a relay race? exactly, passing _ through. it turned out to be a relay race? exactly, passing on - through. it turned out to be a relay race? exactly, passing on the - through. it turned out to be a relay race? exactly, passing on the back| race? exactly, passing on the back on. the briefest _ race? exactly, passing on the back on. the briefest of— race? exactly, passing on the back on. the briefest of dimensions - race? exactly, passing on the back on. the briefest of dimensions buti on. the briefest of dimensions but clearly not totally happy about what happened. he gave a pretty clear indication that, for now anyway, he has no intention of a political comeback in this place. he talked about being the booster rocket that had to field its function, now returning to his plough. i mean look, let's be honest, have we really seen the last of boris johnson? i say maybe not but he is trying to play down the idea that he has unfinished business here. and finally, third, that idea his party now needs to reunite. we know the conservative party has been fractured for some time. i suspect

the idea of it reuniting is probably going to be a pretty tough task over the next few months but there is a comparison between two of those animals we love to see pictures of. dilyn his dog and larry the downing street cat. dilyn leaves and larry days. if they can get on the conservative party can. they hope will be he has left on a high. let's get behind the prime minister and let her deal with the cost—of—living crisis. ”i let her deal with the cost-of-living crisis. “ ., ~' let her deal with the cost-of-living crisis. “ ., ~ ., ~ crisis. "i would like -- i am like one of those — crisis. "i would like -- i am like one of those booster _ crisis. "i would like -- i am like one of those booster rockets i crisis. "i would like -- i am like l one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its purpose, i will splash down in an obscure part of the pacific." almost like he will disappearfrom the pacific." almost like he will disappear from view. you are sceptical, we are sceptical. i mean, if there is anything _ sceptical, we are sceptical. i mean, if there is anything you _ sceptical, we are sceptical. i mean, if there is anything you can - sceptical, we are sceptical. i mean, if there is anything you can say - if there is anything you can say about borisjohnson, he often has something to say. he enjoys the limelight, he clearly has a bit of bounce still about him politically. i don't think we will see anything of him imminently. he is trying to tell us all that he is not wanting

us all to continue to talk about political comeback from him but, look, would you bet your mortgage on never hearing from borisjohnson in a prominent role again with or i wouldn't stop white rumour has it he is looking for a column in the newspaper again and that would be a way of him communicating what he thought, even if he isn't doing tv interviews and sitting down chatting every five minutes on air, he could still have an awful lot of influence within the conservative party. there is still a big — within the conservative party. there is still a big part _ within the conservative party. there is still a big part of _ within the conservative party. there is still a big part of the _ is still a big part of the conservative party which likes boris johnson, a lot of ministers who are really sad at the way things have panned out and the fact he has now left downing street, probably for good. ido i do think the conservative party does want to move on, see what liz truss has when she comes here this afternoon. look at her vision, give her the benefit of the doubt. boris johnson has clearly been damaged

considerably by what happens over the last few months. there is a reason he is leaving downing street and that is that incredible day or two when we stood here and there was just a raft of resignations from government which made it impossible for him to govern. we have seen him say here by the things i'm proud of. i wouldn't be surprised if he goes quiet for a few weeks, perhaps. abs, surprised if he goes quiet for a few weeks. perhaps-— surprised if he goes quiet for a few weeks, perhaps._ a l surprised if he goes quiet for a few l weeks, perhaps._ a few weeks, perhaps. a few hours? a few weeks, perhaps. a few hours? a few weeks. perhaps _ weeks, perhaps. a few hours? a few weeks. perhaps a — weeks, perhaps. a few hours? a few weeks, perhaps a few _ weeks, perhaps. a few hours? a few weeks, perhaps a few months. - weeks, perhaps. a few hours? a few weeks, perhaps a few months. but l weeks, perhaps a few months. but have we seen the last of boris johnson giving his views on different issues of state? don't think south. we different issues of state? don't think south.— different issues of state? don't think south. ~ ., ,, i, i, , think south. we will talk again very soon also it — think south. we will talk again very soon also it is— think south. we will talk again very soon also it is interesting _ think south. we will talk again very soon also it is interesting to - think south. we will talk again very soon also it is interesting to say i soon also it is interesting to say that the conservative party wanting to move on... they have literally moved on. anybody has left within a couple of minutes! borisjohnson and carrie were whisked up into whitehall, they are now flying up to balmoral where they will say goodbye to the queen. that is where liz truss will be formally asked by the queen to form a government before flying back here later this afternoon. let's get some more political reaction.

let's cross now to college green and check in withjohn maguire. good morning, who have you got? just thinking about boris johnson saying thinking about borisjohnson saying this is a relay race and the battle has to go all the way back up to balmoral —— and baton. justine greening is here with me. a few years ago. we have alljust what boris johnson's years ago. we have alljust what borisjohnson's departure speech. what stood out, what do you make of it, what will you remember? ianthem what stood out, what do you make of it, what will you remember? when we look back on — it, what will you remember? when we look back on boris' _ it, what will you remember? when we look back on boris' time _ it, what will you remember? when we look back on boris' time in _ it, what will you remember? when we look back on boris' time in downing i look back on boris' time in downing street, _ look back on boris' time in downing street, i_ look back on boris' time in downing street, i think people will have very— street, i think people will have very different views. they will be some _ very different views. they will be some people who remember him as this conservative _ some people who remember him as this conservative prime minister that got a landslide, got brexit done and all the things— a landslide, got brexit done and all the things he was talking about. others _ the things he was talking about. others will remember him for very, very different reasons. how divisive often _ very different reasons. how divisive often his— very different reasons. how divisive often his premiership has been. the lies often his premiership has been. the ties and _ often his premiership has been. the ties and all— often his premiership has been. the lies and all of that. all of that activity— lies and all of that. all of that activity that was ultimately to

the weather be like in the next couple of hours?— the weather be like in the next coule of hours? :, ,, i. ,, :, , couple of hours? thank you. showers on the way there _ couple of hours? thank you. showers on the way there and _ couple of hours? thank you. showers on the way there and to _ couple of hours? thank you. showers on the way there and to balmoral - on the way there and to balmoral over the next few hours. same story for many. a dry start at the moment, mist and fog around and whilst sunshine will develop the showers will start to get going. a turbulence night, lots of storms across the south of the uk which have since eased but you notice this band of rain, which has fragmented a bit, edging northwards. this area he it the south—east of scotland will head towards balmoral from it the south—east of scotland will head towards balmoralfrom mid morning. could be some rumbles of thunder redeveloping on that. many dry but showers already to the south and west of england and wales. they will develop more widely, heaviest the further south you are and parts of northern england, northern ireland will stay largely dry. showers few and far between but compared with yesterday a lot more showers around in the afternoon. quite blustery to the north—east of scotland and towards the south—west of england and western parts of

wales. with that wind it be cooler thanit wales. with that wind it be cooler than it was. temperatures down a few degrees but when the sun is out, high teens, low 20s. the only conditions in eastern rhianna southby is, that will clear can watch it where the more likely across parts of scotland later on and we can see flashes of lightning, rumbles of thunder, the odd shower further south and warm at night, around 13 to 15 as we start tomorrow. low pressure still in charge for wednesday, getting closer and that means showers become more and that means showers become more and more abundant. my persistent rain in northern scotland to begin tomorrow, using it when work was, pushing to shetland later in the day. sunny spells developed across the rest of the country showers get going, and heavy infantry, windiest conditions to which the south—west and temperatures dropping a little bit more. thank you very much. i suspect liz truss is watching to see what the weather will be like when she gets

her speech yet having been appointed by the queen later this afternoon. downing street has emptied out all the politicians and all the members of boris johnson's friendship circle and of borisjohnson's friendship circle and family, they of boris johnson's friendship circle and family, they have of borisjohnson's friendship circle and family, they have gone of boris johnson's friendship circle and family, they have gone away to have breakfast, probably reflect on his years after his farewell. after he gave that streak everybody hit the phones and i certainly did because he talked about being like cincinnatus. i had to look up, who was cincinnatus? i'm not sure what your classical history is like. should have known he would throw in a reference like that. cincinnatus famously in ancient times left politics and returned to his plough and that is what borisjohnson was referring to. very clever people around here, including professor john tom, the politics professor, says that 19 years after he returned to his plough, cincinnatus then went back into politics. whether that was borisjohnson making some kind of a veiled reference to his long—term plans and maybe not going quietly and may be coming back at some

point, who knows? this is a few minutes ago, live on bbc breakfast, a prime minister borisjohnson, and he remained prime minister until he for many has that title taken away from him by the queen in a couple of hours at balmoral. he is getting into his range rover with his wife carrie and heading off into sunny whitehall. they are flying to scotland. liz truss will then follow him into balmoral to meet the queen and then she flies back as prime minister and we will here notjust a cabinet but we will also, we think, in the next couple of days, hear his plans. this was the end of his speech a few minutes ago, he went straight from the podium to take his wife's hand to say goodbye and thank you to nadine dorries, very loyal culture secretary. his sister rachel johnson is there. we saw shapps in the background stopjacob rees—mogg on the right hand side in a moment.

there is ground shapps. quite the full house. not all of them here but, as you would expect, boris johnson has been a very divisive member of the conservative party. people in the cabinet walked out of his cabinet only a couple of months ago and didn't want him to stay in thejob. would have been awkward for them to turn up and say goodbye this morning so they were not here. we are getting lots of gusts from all political sides to reflect. we can go back now to college green. who else have you grabbed? goad go back now to college green. who else have you grabbed? good morning. i think everybody _ else have you grabbed? good morning. i think everybody here _ else have you grabbed? good morning. i think everybody here thought - else have you grabbed? good morning. i think everybody here thought he - i think everybody here thought he said he was going to be moving to cincinnati, lots of confusion. that reference to ancient history. doctor hannah white is with me from the institute for government, the very experienced former civil servant. you will be fascinated, as we all are, by what is happening, what has been happening. normally, of course, a transition at downing street goes after general election from one party to the other, but we have

become used to this the last few years, the same party getting rid of their leader, electing a new one and then becoming prime minister. what is happening behind the scenes? ibts is happening behind the scenes? as you say, this conservative party has not you say, this conservative party has got rather _ you say, this conservative party has got rather used to changing prime minister— got rather used to changing prime minister at midterm. we have had four prime — minister at midterm. we have had four prime ministers in the last six years— four prime ministers in the last six years and — four prime ministers in the last six years and behind the scenes the civil servants will be preparing for the new _ civil servants will be preparing for the new incoming government. they will be, _ the new incoming government. they witl be, over— the new incoming government. they will be, over the summer, have the new incoming government. they will be, overthe summer, have been preparing. _ will be, overthe summer, have been preparing, talking to the two different camps, the rishi sunak calm _ different camps, the rishi sunak calm and — different camps, the rishi sunak calm and truss calm, in preparation for their— calm and truss calm, in preparation for their possible policy platforms, trying _ for their possible policy platforms, trying to _ for their possible policy platforms, trying to provide them with the information they need. it is not until— information they need. it is not until you — information they need. it is not until you step through the door of downing — until you step through the door of downing street and become prime minister— downing street and become prime minister that you are really equipped with the full power of the government machine enabling you to step up— government machine enabling you to step up and become prime minister. a couple step up and become prime minister. couple of phases we heard, hitting the ground running and are very perhaps historically full in tripe. the huge challenges. i they

unachievable? the full in tray stocks are no prime minister necessarily has it easy. yes, they do seem to be a considerable number of challenges and do seem to be a considerable number of challenge— of challenges and they have been exacerbated _ of challenges and they have been exacerbated by _ of challenges and they have been exacerbated by the _ of challenges and they have been exacerbated by the fact _ of challenges and they have been exacerbated by the fact we - of challenges and they have been exacerbated by the fact we have l of challenges and they have been i exacerbated by the fact we have had this long _ exacerbated by the fact we have had this long leadership campaign which has been _ this long leadership campaign which has been over the summer recess. there _ has been over the summer recess. there has— has been over the summer recess. there has been a sense i think in the country— there has been a sense i think in the country that there hasn't been a government. that is not true, boris johnson _ government. that is not true, boris johnson has — government. that is not true, boris johnson has been our prime minister, the civil— johnson has been our prime minister, the civil service has been working away, _ the civil service has been working away, but — the civil service has been working away, but that decision—making power which _ away, but that decision—making power which seems so crucial at this time with the _ which seems so crucial at this time with the rising cost of living has not been — with the rising cost of living has not been there and everything has been _ not been there and everything has been waiting for this day when liz truss— been waiting for this day when liz truss steps into number 10. is that what really — truss steps into number 10. is that what really happens? _ truss steps into number 10. is that what really happens? there - truss steps into number 10. is that what really happens? there has - truss steps into number 10. is that l what really happens? there has been work going on and you can't say "crisis, what crisis?" we know there is one, a very real one that affects real life. the work has been taking place but there has been sense that nothing has been happening. how should we look at that quiz either

way it have been going on and they will have been primarily planning for two different possible futures but preparing options, trying to get all the material in place so that when it liz truss, a new chancellor and her cabinet that she sets up, are in place they have all the information that she may need. they will have been talking to her, talking behind the scenes. we have had the cabinet secretary simon case has been down for the last couple of weeks, talking to her as well as talking to the rishi sunak campaign but a clear indication they have been trying to prepare to see what she wants to do and trying to help her through what she wants her how she was to do it. do her through what she wants her how she was to do it.— she was to do it. do you expect the government — she was to do it. do you expect the government to _ she was to do it. do you expect the government to be _ she was to do it. do you expect the government to be different, - she was to do it. do you expect the government to be different, the i government to be different, the policies are broadly the same, she has said she will govern as a conservative, sticking to a lot of the manifesto pledges made in 2019. but will it be any different? we the manifesto pledges made in 2019. but will it be any different?— but will it be any different? we are waitint to but will it be any different? we are waiting to see _ but will it be any different? we are waiting to see what _ but will it be any different? we are waiting to see what style _ but will it be any different? we are waiting to see what style of - waiting to see what style of government it is. she is still governing to the same manifesto, the manifesto the conservatives were elected on. you will want to put her

own priorities and that and she will need to do that quickly because she has to deliver. she made it very clear yesterday that she intends to have the next election in 202a. she was trying to put directly on this she might go for an early election. of she might go for an early election. of course, she still might! that she has to prioritise. what we are waiting to see is the tone of her government. she was very clear yesterday, talked about her friend borisjohnson, she wants in some ways to provide a sense of continuity for the party that she is not just continuity for the party that she is notjust going to take everything they liked about borisjohnson but i think she will be well advised to make sure she really sets up number 10 help her deliver and we have had some reporting in the press that she is planning to strip back the operations in number 10. she needs to be careful doing that. yes, potentially it can get smaller but there are key functions that you need around you as prime minister in ten if you are going to deliver and she has made a big play about how she has made a big play about how she is a person who delivers, she needs the tools in government to enable her to do that.— enable her to do that. thank you very much _ enable her to do that. thank you very much indeed _ enable her to do that. thank you very much indeed for— enable her to do that. thank you

very much indeed for your - enable her to do that. thank you i very much indeed for your expertise this morning. that word "deliver", we had it a lot yesterday, i didn't count how many in liz truss' valedictory speech yesterday after being made leader of the conservative party. we are hours away from her being made prime minister, and huge challenges ahead, that in tray historically full. you get an idea of how many people are just at number 10 went borisjohnson left earlier this morning. back to the studio. left earlier this morning. back to the studio-— left earlier this morning. back to the studio. :, ~' , :, , : the studio. thank you very much. incredible — the studio. thank you very much. incredible number _ the studio. thank you very much. incredible number of _ the studio. thank you very much. incredible number of people - the studio. thank you very much. incredible number of people in i incredible number of people in downing street this morning to witness the departure borisjohnson. we brought you that live on the programme. this is the moment he finished his speech, walked over to his staff, and i shall see, many hugs, congratulations, thanks. some of the staff clearly quite emotional at times, this is him saying goodbye to the people he has been working with in his speech. when he addressed the nation at

7:30am, bank on, right on time, he pledged his support for liz truss and described himself as like a booster rocket that has now fulfilled its function he promised to splash down someone doing a felt the pacific ocean. hints of what might come next but no clear definitive suggestion. of what he is definitely going to do next. he did pledge his support to the new prime minister, liz truss. this is him getting in the car, driving up to be taken to balmoral this morning to speak to the queen, where he will formally resign. those of the images we brought you a short time ago. borisjohnson leaving downing street as prime ministerfor borisjohnson leaving downing street as prime minister for the very last time. stay with us, headlines coming up.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay here in downing street on the day a new prime minister is appointed. and sally nugent in the studio in salford. our headlines. liz truss will be handed the keys to number 10 this afternoon, after beating conservative leadership rival rishi sunak to the top job. in the past half—hour, borisjohnson said farewell in downing street before heading to balmoral to see the queen to formally resign. to balmoral to see the queen above all,. thanks to you, the british people, to the voters for giving me the chance to serve. all of you who worked so tirelessly together to

beat covid, to put us where we are today. here at bal moral, in four hours, the queen will receive liz truss and ask her to form a government and take office as prime minister. we'll look at what's in liz truss' very full in—tray when she walks through that famous black door, including how to tackle soaring energy costs. and i am in the constituency of leigh in greater manchester. this is one of the former mining communities that turned tory in the last election. what do people here want from the new prime minister? also this morning — one of two suspects in sunday's mass stabbings in western canada has been found dead, but the other remains at large. in sport this morning. as rafa nadal falls at flushing meadows, how the men's draw�*s left wide open at the us open.

plus the weather remains settled after a night of storms. today a sunshine and thundery showers. the forecast here on breakfast. it's tuesday, 6th of september. our main story. in the last half an hour, borisjohnson has delivered his final speech as prime minister. he left downing street at around half past seven with his wife and is going to bal moral to see the queen, where he will formally resign and wear his three year premiership officially comes to an end. we will reflect on that and we will look at what liz truss has ahead of her as prime minister when she gets here this afternoon but let's listen to what boris johnson this afternoon but let's listen to what borisjohnson had to say. the people who got brexit done, the people who delivered the fastest

vaccine roll—out in europe and, never forget, 70% of the entire population got a dose within six months, faster than any comparable country. that is government for you. that is this conservative government. cheering. people who organised those prompt, early supplies to the heroic ukrainian armed rorces, forces, an action that may very well have helped change the course of the biggest european warfor 80 years. and because of the speed and urgency of what you did, everybody involved in this government, to get this economy moving again from july last year, in spite of all the opposition, all the naysayers, we have and will continue to have that economic strength to give people the cash they need to get through this energy crisis that has been caused by putin's vicious war.

and i know that liz truss and this compassionate, conservative government will do everything we can to get people through this crisis, and this country will endure it and we will win. and if putin thinks that he can succeed by blackmailing or bullying the british people, then he is utterly deluded. above all, thank you to use the british people, to the voters for giving me the chance to serve all of you, to work tirelessly together to beat covid to put us where we are today. together we have laid foundations that will stand the test of time whether taking back control of time whether taking back control of our laws are putting in vital new infrastructure, great, solid masonry on which we will continue to build together. paving the path of prosperity now and for future

generations. and i will be supporting liz truss and the new government every step of the way. thank you all very much. thank you and goodbye, thank you. and with that the borisjohnson era in downing street at least was over and he heads to scotland to meet the queen and at lunchtime, he will have formally resigned and that will be it for him, we assume. although questions about whether he might try to make a comeback. we can speak to nick eardley, chief parliamentary correspondent. what do you make of that performance because it was a performance by borisjohnson, classic borisjohnson. he performance by boris johnson, classic boris johnson.- classic boris johnson. he was energetic. — classic boris johnson. he was energetic, booster— classic boris johnson. he was energetic, booster -ish, - classic boris johnson. he was energetic, booster -ish, the l classic boris johnson. he was - energetic, booster -ish, the phrase energetic, booster —ish, the phrase synonymous with borisjohnson. he likes to talk about the positives. i have watches speeches and there is always a valedictory sense of here is what i am proud of in office and

of course we got that. firstly, borisjohnson said his party has to unite. we have covered tory civil war is the last six, seven years, and he is trying to say to his party however annoyed some of you might be about the way i was brought down you need to get behind liz truss. he linked it to the cost of living crisis. she needs to be given a chance to get on with trying to deliver on that. linked to that, he has played down the idea he could make a political comeback. i do not think speculation about him will go away. i do not think we have heard the last of him. he was clear that in the immediate future he sees his role as supportive of the prime minister. he said a booster rocket that has fulfilled its function. i think he is trying to persuade us

that boris johnson think he is trying to persuade us that borisjohnson mark think he is trying to persuade us that boris johnson mark two think he is trying to persuade us that borisjohnson mark two is probably not going to happen but with borisjohnson, i suspect he might be tempted to make his views known a bit in the future. you wonder what _ known a bit in the future. you wonder what conversation he is having with his wife as they head to the airport to fly to bal moral. how he genuinely is looking back. there was no emotion, no crack of the voice, nothing visible. it was boris johnson energy. interesting to compare it with theresa may, david cameron, gordon brown. that compare it with theresa may, david cameron, gordon brown.— compare it with theresa may, david cameron, gordon brown. that is what boris cameron, gordon brown. that is what lztoris johnson — cameron, gordon brown. that is what boris johnson is _ cameron, gordon brown. that is what boris johnson is like. _ cameron, gordon brown. that is what boris johnson is like. if _ cameron, gordon brown. that is what boris johnson is like. if you _ cameron, gordon brown. that is what boris johnson is like. if you speak - borisjohnson is like. if you speak to him privately, see him in public, he is an energetic figure. he is a show man and that is why we got to know who he was before he was prime minister. he is full of energy. he comes out at half past seven in the morning and is full of energy and saying what he thinks he has achieved in power. in some ways that

was also his downfall. his ability to say what is popular. sometimes do not give the full account of what had gone on when it came to downing street party and other things such as the chris pincher scandal. those were the things that ultimately brought him down. but his character has not changed. you got that sense in this speech, just at the start, when he talked about his party changing the rules halfway through, he has not totally got over how he was brought down. this afternoon, the weather _ was brought down. this afternoon, the weather will _ was brought down. this afternoon, the weather will be _ was brought down. this afternoon, the weather will be different, - was brought down. this afternoon, the weather will be different, we i the weather will be different, we expect thunderstorms and lightning, and the tone will no doubt be different when liz truss comes to do the same thing at the podium and starts the beginning of her premiership. starts the beginning of her premiership-— starts the beginning of her --remiershi. :, ., , :, , starts the beginning of her --remiershi. :, :, , :, , , premiership. normally on these days there is a quick _ premiership. normally on these days there is a quick changeover. - premiership. normally on these days there is a quick changeover. the - there is a quick changeover. the staff members you saw standing in downing street a few minutes ago, they go in and are ushered out the

back and others come in straightaway. today is less brutal because you have a few hours because borisjohnson and liz because you have a few hours because boris johnson and liz truss because you have a few hours because borisjohnson and liz truss go to see the queen at balmoral. the next few hours, we will watch if any other cabinet ministers say they are going with two prominent people going with two prominent people going already. nadine dorries who we saw earlier. she is out as culture secretary, deciding she does not want to stay in government. priti patel, the home secretary, said she is going to the backbenches. over the next hours, we are going to talk a lot about who might be in power with liz truss over the next months. kwasi kwarteng i am certain will be chancellor. i expect to see james cleverly at the foreign office, suella braverman at the home office. people getting final photos. the final opportunity.—

period. she has a chance at apm or thereabouts to set out to the country what she thinks she can deliver to help everybody with the crisis. :, ~' , :, deliver to help everybody with the crisis. :, ,, , :, a deliver to help everybody with the crisis. :, ~ , :, a ., , deliver to help everybody with the crisis. :, ,, , :, ., , ., , crisis. thank you. nick eardley was talkint crisis. thank you. nick eardley was talking about _ crisis. thank you. nick eardley was talking about boris _ crisis. thank you. nick eardley was talking about boris johnson, - crisis. thank you. nick eardley was talking about boris johnson, liz i talking about borisjohnson, liz truss, the handover, what happens. this is what you need to know about the hours ahead. borisjohnson is on his way to balmoral, to formally hand his resignation to the queen. later on, liz truss also heads up to balmoral, where the queen will ask her to form a government and she officially becomes prime minister. she'll then return to downing street. she will get security briefings we expect. and then she will turn up at the door and gives her introductory

speech this afternoon. followed of course by the hard work beginning. she goes inside and confirms the final cabinet positions and prepares for prime minister's questions. she will face keir starmer in the commons tomorrow. booster rockets on her day, to use the borisjohnson phrase. nicholas witchell is in bal moral. you have done these handovers before but never at balmoral. good morning. that is right. good morning from bal moral in the scottish highlands. these are the gates to the castle just behind me where the prime minister is outgoing and incoming will be arriving. normally, this procedure takes place at buckingham palace where the queen has appointed all the previous prime ministers of her long reign. because

of her mobility issues it was decided the queen should remain here and they would come to her. we expect to see boris johnson and they would come to her. we expect to see borisjohnson arriving shortly before 11:30am. he will fly to aberdeen and come by road the a5 miles to bal moral and will see the queen in the drawing room at the castle and tender his resignation. after midday, we expect liz truss will arrive, after midday, we expect liz truss willarrive, have after midday, we expect liz truss will arrive, have an audience with the queen and the queen will invite her to form a government. this is an expression of the constitutional settlement whereby the monarch exercising the royal prerogative invites the leader of the largest party in the commons to form a government and become prime minister. it is known as the kissing of hands, but there is no kissing, just a handshake. tic

whether she will have to move inside because there are thundery downpours forecast for central london later this afternoon. and we can hear from matt. good morning. good morning. we have rain heading towards balmoral but thunderstorms are possible in london this afternoon and into the evening. maybe not as spectacular as those we saw last night across parts of england, wales and northern france. 30,000 lightning flashes. the rain will push towards balmoral, this area which is working northwards over the next few hours and it will be heavy. there could be fun to hear as we go through the morning early afternoon. away from that, showers in the south and west. they will spread more widely as we go through

the afternoon. sunshine between. lifting temperatures into the low to mid 20s. still a warm day. as we head to evening, showers around. a batch heading to london later so there could be showers here through there could be showers here through the afternoon and some of them heavy and thundery. sunshine between the showers, more of which in southern scotland, northern ireland and northern england this afternoon. further north, the rain should clear balmoral but more wet weather tonight. this rain sets in across scotland tonight. we could see lightning. not as turbulent and night across the rest of the country. some showers. a mild start to tomorrow. over the next days, temperatures drop a little bit and the continuing story of sunshine and showers but through this afternoon the potential for thunder not too far from the potential for thunder not too farfrom downing street. far from downing street. they farfrom downing street. they are making contingency plans here. it might move inside later.

some people making the most of the dry weather this morning and having those last pictures taken. members of boris johnson's those last pictures taken. members of borisjohnson's staff coming out to get pictures to remember their lives here. for some of them, that is it. he is gone and some of them will go and a new era begins in british politics. borisjohnson currently heading to raf northolt in london where there is a plain waiting to take him to scotland. —— aeroplane. perfect timing. that is the prime minister and his wife about to board the aeroplane. that will take them up to aberdeenshire. for that formal handing over of power. it is very different this time. normally, the prime minister would just have to go to see the queen at the drawing room in

buckingham palace. this time, after health worries about her majesty, it has been decided she will stay at bal moral, and the outgoing and incoming prime minister will both go to her. liz truss is not on the same aeroplane as borisjohnson. we understand she will make her way to scotland separately. that would be quite a journey if they were together. i guess for security reasons you could not have effectively two prime ministers travelling together. borisjohnson we know is on that aeroplane with his wife. they are heading up to scotland. no sign of the children this morning. they were born during borisjohnson's premiership. a lot has happened in his life personally and politically in the last three years. they came out when he

announced he was standing down, but they did not emerge this morning. it is early morning. he wants to be out in downing street with mum and dad at this time? a lot more guests to come. john is at college green and i think he has another politician. you are right. we arejoined by ian blackford, leader of the scottish national party at westminster. you had a chance to listen to the prime minister's departure speech. tbs, minister's departure speech. greatest hits list, if you like. i think it is everything we heard in prime minister's questions. i wish him the best. i am glad he has gone. i think he has besmirched the office he has held. i think today it is a question about how we deal with the cost of living crisis and capping energy costs, which is the challenge the prime minister faces and

energy costs, which is the challenge the prime ministerfaces and i want to engage positively with her to protect consumers and businesses. a big job to do this week. might protect consumers and businesses. a big job to do this week.— big 'ob to do this week. might it be a big job to do this week. might it be a moment when _ big job to do this week. might it be a moment when parties _ big job to do this week. might it be a moment when parties come - big job to do this week. might it be - a moment when parties come together and form some sort of agreement? this is the biggest economic crisis we have faced since the 70s and as the government in scotland we must act in a reasoned manner and i say to the prime minister today, let's cap the energy cost increases for consumers and businesses because we face businesses going to the wall if we do not do that. the debate is how we do not do that. the debate is how we pay for this. we have said it should be a windfall tax on oil and gas producers and those who have made high profits during the pandemic and energy crisis and secondly, we need to ensure we fund through debt. it cannot deferred costs for consumers. what is happening in the gas markets today

is a consequence of what is happening in ukraine and we stand with ukraine. but bill payers cannot pay the price. government has to pick up the tab. and the idea at a time like this you would contemplate tax cuts is for the birds. let's ensure we act responsibly to protect people and in the middle of a crisis when we have a balance of payments crisis, the idea those who are wealthy get a tax cut, it is the wrong time to do it. margaret thatcher would not have done that in 1979. ., thatcher would not have done that in 1979. :, . , thatcher would not have done that in 1979. :, : , .,, , 1979. tax cuts was the first thing liz truss mentioned _ 1979. tax cuts was the first thing liz truss mentioned yesterday. l 1979. tax cuts was the first thing l liz truss mentioned yesterday. do you have more confidence in her that she can somehow get to grips with the energy crisis? hate she can somehow get to grips with the energy crisis?— the energy crisis? we need to reassure people _ the energy crisis? we need to reassure people they - the energy crisis? we need to reassure people they will - the energy crisis? we need to reassure people they will be l the energy crisis? we need to i reassure people they will be able the energy crisis? we need to - reassure people they will be able to turn on the heating and put food on the table which means let's stop the energy price increase and if we do that we will cap the rise in inflation. capping energy prices will mean inflation will be a% less

than otherwise. it is important with spiralling costs. we have to intervene and stop that. otherwise we will face bigger problems. there has to be a harsh reality that comes out of this and tax cuts, not today, prime minister.— prime minister. let's protect bill -a ers. prime minister. let's protect bill payers tan _ prime minister. let's protect bill payers. ian blackford, _ prime minister. let's protect bill payers. ian blackford, thank- prime minister. let's protect bill| payers. ian blackford, thank you. that sense of urgency i am sure will not be lost on the next prime minister. once the kissing of hands has taken place and liz truss takes her return to downing street and takes over a very full in back to you. absolutely. borisjohnson has that flight ahead of him. photographers are taking down their step ladders they rely on and repositioning them for the liz truss moment later in

the day but on the tarmac at raf northolt is the aeroplane. i understand it is a falcon. nick eardley is notjust chief political correspondent but a plane spotter. he tells me it is a falcon. boris johnson on board with his wife flying up to aberdeenshire to meet the queen at balmoral as the choreography of the handover day continues. i spoke to people after the programme yesterday who thought it was all over yesterday once we knew liz truss had won. she is not formally prime minister until boris johnson has tended —— tendered his resignation to her majesty. the aeroplane about to take off. i reckon it is an hour and a quarter up reckon it is an hour and a quarter up to aberdeenshire. and then he has thejourney to balmoral

up to aberdeenshire. and then he has the journey to balmoral to up to aberdeenshire. and then he has thejourney to balmoral to meet up to aberdeenshire. and then he has the journey to balmoral to meet the queen. and then he is a free man. what does he do then? speculation here he will not be able to resist interjecting in some way and might plan a politicalfuture. people looking at his speech in the last hour and looking for clues in classical literature that may be he will think about coming back one day. he says he is loyal to liz truss and her government and says the conservative party has to stick together, come together and deal with these enormous challenges the uk is facing, not least to the increasing energy bills and we expect liz truss to give urgent attention to that. her team briefing she will announce in the first few hours of her premiership her plans and, on thursday, and unveiling of precise plans about how everybody watching this morning could be affected by a potentialfreeze in energy bills. how will it be paid

for? will it be by consumers, a windfall tax, and also discussion about what might happen with inflation, how businesses and the knock—on for inflation. some massive issues for liz truss as well as climate, education, housing and the national health service. it comes down basically to the state of the economy and the state of the government's books and household accounts in the weeks and months ahead through the winter. the aeroplane on the runway, we have heard the engines as borisjohnson leaves london having already left downing street. i wonder how he is really reflecting on his political career. we have heard how he wants to be remembered. he gave along list about how he delivered brexit. his critics will say not

necessarily, especially for people and businesses in northern ireland. that has not been sorted out yet. he talked about the vaccine roll—out and how he handled covid, although some of his critics will ask about whether the lockdowns were the right way to do it. has the lockdown approach left the uk with a huge financial hangover that will take decades potentially for governments and uk people to come to terms with. but our camera is now focusing on raf northolt and his departure. carriejohnson is inside. i did not see stanleyjohnson this morning. he was an mep, conservative, and very pro—european in his time. he has spoken quite frankly at times about his son and was critical recently in the media about borisjohnson's policy and the brexit result as he

saw it as sewage ending up in the sea and the rivers and saying that is something his son should have dealt with differently. we saw his sister. who knows? it might be their last time visiting number 10, as well. the aeroplane, a falcon, apparently, waiting to take off. to head up to balmoral. our royal correspondent was reporting and explaining how differently today is going to be, that the timings have to take into account the fact the queen is currently resident in scotland, which puts extra complications on things, but nobody is arguing with that. the queen's comfort is a priority to all involved. they will work around her, obviously. so rather than buckingham palace, they head up to scotland. and that is the wrong way. what does

the future holds, the personal runway for boris johnson? i the future holds, the personal runway for borisjohnson? i wonder what he is focusing on. i was intrigued by the reference to splashing down in the pacific. i wonder if it is a reference to holiday pictures in fiji or somewhere. at first, he has to go to scotland, where the weather is rather different this morning. but we think he will escape the thunder and lightning on his way up that had been predicted by matt in the weather forecast. been predicted by matt in the weatherforecast. is it my imagination, or is the aeroplane moving? no, it is my imagination or wishful thinking, moving? no, it is my imagination or wishfulthinking, i moving? no, it is my imagination or wishful thinking, i think. moving? no, it is my imagination or wishful thinking, ithink. the choreography of this really interesting. and borisjohnson, his departure saw a lot of his most loyal political colleagues and

friends here in downing street. how liz truss deals with her arrival will be interesting. who will she choose to invite to be seen in public with her? and the personal side of things, how will she deal with this? we saw her husband sitting next to her yesterday when she was selected, as she found out she was selected, as she found out she had been elected by the party. but no sense about whether she will be open about the rest of her family life. hertwo be open about the rest of her family life. her two daughter is, whether they will play a part in public life and whether they will appear today. there we go. borisjohnson leaves london after saying farewell to downing street. his aeroplane taking off from raf northolt. as he heads to balmoral in scotland. where he officially hands in his resignation

to the queen and she appoints his successor. he left downing street in glorious sunshine and flies into the air, more cloudy and miserable. delighted to say that chris mason wilby with us talk through all of this. what you make of what we heard how the tone changes? the personal, political, constitutional meeting each other in downing street in the last hour. the same thing will happen this afternoon when liz truss arrives and inevitably focus on boris johnson's works. arrives and inevitably focus on borisjohnson's works. how often has weaker fit offered a sentences like that of the last 20 years question of his man of words and thoughts carefully about the ways he chose. first, he didn't use this sentence that he might have well often. "why did you get rid of me?" that was the

tone of the speech. secondly, those couple of references. leaning heavily on his classical interest and other little more space —related we have not had the last from him, and who knows, maybe he will come back. the borisjohnson soap opera which followed him to downing street, followed him in his time behind that back doing a black door, will continue to follow afterwards. you can be absolutely certain that even a syllable voted out loud committed to paper will leave every camera lens and every reporter with their notebook to tilt in his direction. i suspect in the early weeks and months, maybe he will say little, maybe he will be pretty loyal to liz truss that she will be very nervous. all prime ministers are nervous about a back seat driver and what a back—seat driver he could prove to be, where he to choose to be. ~ :, prove to be, where he to choose to be. . ., :, prove to be, where he to choose to be. ~ ., :,, ., ,, prove to be, where he to choose to be. ~ ., :, , ., ,, ., ,, be. we have to break there. thank ou. we be. we have to break there. thank you- we need _

buses could be banned from tower bridge, as too many heavy vehicles are using it, and numbers have increased since restrictions were put on nearby london bridge. the city of london corporation fears that the weight of traffic on tower bridge will cause it structural damage. we have contacted transport for london for a response. children at some primary schools in london are to be given support to try to prevent them from being excluded in the future. education experts believe they may have a chance to step in and guide pupils away from getting into trouble at an early stage — thereby preventing exclusions in later years. the key moment is very often the transition between primary school year six and into secondary school, and that's where we are putting a lot more support around young people because that's when they kind of sometimes get lost. a look at the tube board now. the victoria line has minor delays because of a signal failure at king's cross.

now the weather with elizabeth. hello, there, good morning. well, today's weather is looking fairly similar to how it was yesterday across the capital — so bright spells, also some showers — but today it will be cooler and it will be a bit breezier, as well. now, low pressure is currently sitting out towards the west of us, and it's that that's just swirling around, giving us some more showery outbreaks of rain as we head through the next few days or so — so it will never be completely dry — but there'll also be some brighter spells around, as well. our low pressure just gradually shifts its way eastwards as we head throughout the working week, but only very slowly. it should, however, be a more settled weekend in store. now, this morning, well, it's a mostly dry start to the day, some brighter spells. there will be some areas of cloud around again today and a fresh southerly breeze. so the wind is picking up from where we were yesterday and the temperatures are generally lower, too — they'll peak at around 20 or 21 degrees celsius for most of us. there will be some more showers — mostly through the second half of the day. again, some of those showers likely to be heavy.

they will generally fade away overnight tonight, a mostly dry night to follow with some clear spells and, again, it's a mild start to the day tomorrow. on wednesday, again, some sunny spells, temperatures peaking in the low 20s in celsius. so watch out for some showers again at times — that's also true for thursday. that's it. i'll have our next update for you just after 9.00. bye for now. breakfast is on bbc one until quarter—past nine this morning. then it's time for morning live. michelle and gethin can tell us what they have in store. good morning. good morning. you have been watching — good morning. good morning. you have been watching jon _ good morning. good morning. you have been watching jon from _ good morning. good morning. you have been watching jon from ten _ good morning. good morning. you have been watching jon from ten all- been watching jon from ten all morning _ been watching jon from ten all morning a— been watching jon from ten all morning a huge _ been watching jon from ten all morning. a huge day, - been watching jon from ten all morning. a huge day, boris. been watching jon from ten all- morning. a huge day, borisjohnson waving _ morning. a huge day, borisjohnson

liz truss will take over. we are asking this morning, how will he be remembered, how will he want himself to be remembered? we got a taste of that with a final flourish in his speech here in the last hour. let me say that i am now like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function, and i will now be gently re—entering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the pacific. laughter. and, like cincinnatus, i am returning to my plough. and i will be offering this government nothing but the most fervent support. this is... i'll tell you why. this is a tough time for the economy. for families up and down the country. we can and we will get through it, and we will come out stronger the other side. but i say to my fellow conservatives, it's time for politics to be over, folks. it's time for us all to get behind liz truss and her team

and her programme, and deliver for the people of this country. some eyebrows raised here this morning by that. it's borisjohnson really be splashing down quietly tight? that reference to cincinnatus which we looked at, apparently he was an old roman politician who did return to his plough but then returned to politics a few years later and some questions about whether that might be a hidden message. i'm joined now by our political editor, chris mason. good morning. it was interesting about his departure but also really interesting what happens now, the change in tone, a new prime minister, boris has gone. but change in tone, a new prime minister, boris has gone. at least from here and _ minister, boris has gone. at least from here and who _ minister, boris has gone. at least from here and who knows - minister, boris has gone. at least from here and who knows what i minister, boris has gone. at least| from here and who knows what he minister, boris has gone. at least - from here and who knows what he will do next. the striking thing around that space exploration imagery is that space exploration imagery is that these are very televisual events, when rockets are launched

towards the stars and nothing is left to chance. boris johnson towards the stars and nothing is left to chance. borisjohnson has penned those words himself, didn't involve invoices advisors. the classicist reference, someone who has always loved and revered that kind of period as history —— of history. that reference to a former politician who did come back. we know that boris johnson will continue to make a splash. it will not be invisible and he will still be part of the political conversation, of that we can be certain. but for now, at least, he departs, understand them, to resign as prime minister. then a day of choreography garnished with geography because of the trip to balmoral. the most important ways politically that we will hear today are not the ones we have heard in the last hour but the ones that we will hear around teatime, for pm, subject to air traffic control and the weather, lovely blue sky here in central london. at 10:30pm last

night when i left there was a deluge and there may be one a little later today. liz truss will really hope, really hope she can give that opening speech of her premiership at that white mark, i think you can see the mark of tape on the tarmac, which is where the lectin will stand because that will frame her premiership. when theresa may was prime minister, just behind those doors, she had literally framed on the wall the words she uttered, to use the phrase so often used, on the steps of downing street. it is not quite on the steps, it is between us and the single step onto the pavement. that will be the crucial moment of the day as she frames what she wants to frame as prime minister and the team around the.— and the team around the. people watchint and the team around the. people watching his _ and the team around the. people watching his are _ and the team around the. people watching his are saying _ and the team around the. people watching his are saying i - and the team around the. people watching his are saying i don't i watching his are saying i don't really care who was in charge, i want to know what is happening with my bills this winter, when will they get that info don't put information? i get that, people like me and you

perhaps having a certain excitement about a place in history. to a certain extent. people will be thinking my family, my business cannot afford to pay. liz truss will be aware that people are aware of how she is perceived as premised will be to a great extent how she responds to this energy crisis. as things stand, pencilled in for thursday is the big announcement and it looks like it will be big. tens of billions, perhaps £100 billion. again, that is irrelevant. someone watching our conversation now say, yeah, but what about my bill? the truth is we don't know that yet but she will feel the political weight of a labour opposition that have said they would freeze bills this winter. the expectation is something similar is likely to happen. the exact mechanism of how that happens, we don't yet know, but we await the crucial answers to the only

questions that matter. you will be helped, for how long and by how much? :, ~' ,, helped, for how long and by how much? :, ,, i. , . , much? thank you very much. chris mason, much? thank you very much. chris mason. our — much? thank you very much. chris mason, our political _ much? thank you very much. chris mason, our political editor - much? thank you very much. chris mason, our political editorjoiningl mason, our political editorjoining us on downing street. that is what everyone wants to know. nina is with some voters in leigh. getting a sense of that. good morning. good morning. welcome to ashley greene. i want you to look at the image behind me, really arresting image. —— astley green. thousands of men went two thirds of a mile into the ground to the coalface to pick whole. as they did in many communities around here. that is why, in 2019, i rememberthe communities around here. that is why, in 2019, i remember the gasps that went around the room when this constituency, leigh of all places, turned tory. since then we have had brexit, a global pandemic, and here we are in the depths of an energy

crisis. what do people here in leigh want from the new prime minister? here we go. i give notice that liz truss is elected as the leader of the conservative and unionist party _ and so a new chapter begins. she was all about tax cuts, tax cuts, nothing that'd help people on carer's allowance. liz truss promised bold plans to help with rising costs, but what you need now depends who you are. she carried on working for a few months after she was diagnosed. this is tony — he gave up work suddenly when his wife sue developed pulmonary fibrosis. he went from being a high—rate taxpayer to living off a carer's allowance. their life savings are fading — fast. does it feel fair? it's the most unfair thing. it's heartbreaking, full stop, watching a loved one. as you'll know — if you've got anybody that you love, it's painful. er... and you're totally unsupported. and when you look to what comes next for you, and for sue, what does it look like, what needs to happen? well, i have an outcome for me

and sue, unfortunately, because this is a fatal disease. but i need, and i want — just like every other carer wants — they want to be recognised for what they do. kathleen runs a cooked—meat stall. what she worries about it how her 15 employees will cope this winter. do you think she gets it? i'm not sure whether she gets it, but i think if she actually comes and speaks to people and actually sees how people live... and a freeze to corporation tax? if businesses can't survive because nobody's buying their products, doesn't matter what corporation tax is! there are those whose loyalties lie elsewhere. iwould... i would support labour anyway. there are those who wish it had fallen a bit differently. i would have preferred rishi to get it, but, hey—ho. and then there are some with, frankly, more important things to worry about right now. liz truss? no. head of her? no! that's all right, you've got a lot on. josephine has cerebral palsy and is full—time

carer for her husband. she says financial support for the disabled has been disappearing for decades. how much money have you and gary got in your pocket as the cost of living goes up? none. we have to borrow from family, friends. and then, when we do get our money in, obviously then all the money that we get in has to go out to pay people back. you voted conservative in 2019. would you vote for liz truss next? yeah, yeah. why's that? well, because... i feel that she's. .. she's doing more than a lot of other people have done. josephine's isjust one voice in many millions. liz truss has won the keys to number ten. now the challenge begins to keep them.

well, they could not have been a wider range of views in leigh market yesterday for so we have come into the engine room to speak to people who run businesses in the area. good morning, julie. you set up vicarious business as labour of love back in 201a. when you compare the funding you had to what does it look like? it is definitely reduced. there are not as many funding opportunities to apply for and the social care money that we receive feels like it has been reduced in real terms due to inflation and everything going up. the pure cost of everything going up. when liz truss says she will deliver, deliver, deliver, what does that look like in social care and education?— that look like in social care and education? ~ :, , , education? well, hopefully there will be more _ education? well, hopefully there will be more money _ education? well, hopefully there will be more money pumped - education? well, hopefully there will be more money pumped into education? well, hopefully there l will be more money pumped into it and notjust taken will be more money pumped into it and not just taken from the will be more money pumped into it and notjust taken from the nhs part because, obviously, that is important, as well, and education hopefully with alternative

provision, we serve some students from schools very successfully, and so we would like to see more money in that area, as well. intern; so we would like to see more money in that area, as well.— in that area, as well. very quickly, do ou in that area, as well. very quickly, do you feel — in that area, as well. very quickly, do you feel vulnerable _ in that area, as well. very quickly, do you feel vulnerable people - in that area, as well. very quickly, do you feel vulnerable people are | do you feel vulnerable people are being failed at the moment because of funding? j being failed at the moment because of fundint ? :, ., , :, ., of funding? i do, really, to a certain extent. _ of funding? i do, really, to a certain extent. their - of funding? i do, really, to a| certain extent. their budgets of funding? i do, really, to a - certain extent. their budgets are being cut so they can't always attend day services that they would like to attend as often as they can, as they used to do. so, yes, all in all, yeah. as they used to do. so, yes, all in all. yeah-— all, yeah. they are vital services for lots of _ all, yeah. they are vital services for lots of people. _ all, yeah. they are vital services for lots of people. steve - all, yeah. they are vital services for lots of people. steve runs i all, yeah. they are vital services for lots of people. steve runs a l for lots of people. steve runs a software company but you also set up a shared space over covid. talk to me about that share space and your energy bills. taste me about that share space and your energy bills-— me about that share space and your enert bills. ~ , , a :, energy bills. we set up leigh works. there are quite _ energy bills. we set up leigh works. there are quite a _ energy bills. we set up leigh works. there are quite a few— energy bills. we set up leigh works. there are quite a few different - there are quite a few different businesses based there. we started during covid at the start, just a coincidence, obviously we didn't know it was coming and that was

literally day one. we managed to make it through that, did really well, got over that. make it through that, did really well, got overthat. but make it through that, did really well, got over that. but now we are facing a massive issue so we are looking at needing to renew our energy contract right now our bills last year were £a000 for the year. this year it is a £27,000. that is a seven times increase for us. that is just not sustainable as it is. we are trying to figure out, what do we do? how do we make it work? jt are trying to figure out, what do we do? how do we make it work? it would be such a shame _ do? how do we make it work? it would be such a shame to _ do? how do we make it work? it would be such a shame to survive _ do? how do we make it work? it would be such a shame to survive covid - do? how do we make it work? it would be such a shame to survive covid and l be such a shame to survive covid and not get through this. one way of potentially getting through this is a state backed loans to energy providers, energy companies, that would take the sting out of that spike, flatten the curve, if you like. would you be up for that, paying back more over a longer period than the immediate shock? to period than the immediate shock? tfr be honest, i don't know how effective that would be against the alternatives. i don't know what they are. people have mentioned it decoupling renewable energy and i know a lot of the other issues are bigger, longerterm

know a lot of the other issues are bigger, longer term issues like overseas diplomacy and things like that. if that is the only workable solution, we need something right now, that is definitely what we need. whether that then makes a to pay back, it will be better if there were a better solution that actually fixed the real issue. ibts were a better solution that actually fixed the real issue.— fixed the real issue. as you said to be it has to — fixed the real issue. as you said to be it has to happen _ fixed the real issue. as you said to be it has to happen now _ fixed the real issue. as you said to be it has to happen now so - be it has to happen now so potentially it is the only solution. what was really interesting speaking to people in leigh yesterday is how may people held their hands up and said, i don't really know what's going on. i have given up on the lot of them. perhaps the challenge for liz truss now is to restore trust and engagement. thank you very much. for the past two years, tv presenter gabby logan has been candidly about her life on her podcast the mid point. its purpose is to help others navigate the "halfway stage" of life — but for gabby�*s husband kenny, it's achieved far more than that. after listening to an episode he was pushed to take action that may have saved his life. gabby and kennyjoin me now.
