�* position is. �*position is. this �* position is. this evening, position is. this evening, we her position is. this evening, we will get a vote quite shortly on labour's motion on fracking. at least three conservative mps have said they will not be voting for that and the conservative whips said it was a motion of confidence so therefore you are expecting those mps are likely to be suspended from the parliamentary party. that creates more instability. we are in a different place this evening than we were this morning.— a different place this evening than we were this morning. helen, thank ou ve we were this morning. helen, thank you very much- _ the atmosphere has been pretty fee brown tonight. joining us now for some more reaction is the advocacy director of thejoint some more reaction is the advocacy

crossing the channel from claiming asylum this government has shown it is dedicated to destruction when it comes to refugee and migrant lives. very interesting indeed. interesting to get your perspective on suella braverman's resignation. well, we are still much if it is a resignation or a sacking. different commentators are giving us different verdicts on that but she has gone as home secretary. that is the dramatic news from westminster, to be replaced by grant shapps. 0ur political editor has a summary of what has been going on here at westminster over the last three very eventful hours. how long can the prime minister last? never mind the prime minister last? never mind the prime minister, it is the home secretary who has gone foot of this was her yesterday. today, she is out. i would because this morning she sent an official document from her personal e—mail account. a breach of the rules. in a zinger of

a resignation letter to the prime minister, suella braverman wrote, pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can't see that we have made them, and hoping that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. i have made a mistake, i accept responsibility, i resign. she continues, i have concerns... last month, suella braverman was promoted to one of the great offices of state. she cheered on a prime minister in trouble at the party conference. today she becomes the shortest serving home secretary

minister battling to cling on herself. let's just take you back a bit and that through those exchanges of letters between suella braverman and the prime minister. let'sjust show you suella braverman's resignation letter first. and this was the bombshell we got a little bit earlier on this afternoon where she said she was resigning because of a technical infringement of the rules. but then she also launched, at the same time, a stinging attack on the liz truss government and said it is obvious we are going through a tumultuous time. i've got concerns about the direction of this government. not only have a broken key pledges that were promised to

our voters but i've had serious concerns about this government's commitment to honouring manifesto commitments. and then, in response to that, quite a long letter, there was quite a brief letter from liz truss and we can show it there to you as well. and she effectively just said, thank you for your letter and thank you for your service. highlighted some of the things that suella braverman had done in her very brief time as home secretary. in the 43 days. that was pretty much it. best wishes goodbye. so a very curt, short response from theirs truss. as commentators have been saying, yet another hand grenade thrown in the prime minister's direction and the new home secretary is grant shapps. now, he is a very interesting appointment because he was a big supporter of rishi su nike so it looks like liz truss is now bringing in people from that wing of the party, if you like. and he's been talking just a few minutes ago, outside the home office. he is the new home secretary. he has just arrived. new home secretary. he has 'ust arrived. , ., arrived. good evening, everyone. it has been a — arrived. good evening, everyone. it has been a turbulent _ arrived. good evening, everyone. it

settling the issues relating to that mini budget. iwant settling the issues relating to that mini budget. i want to be here at the home office doing what i think is one of the most important roles in government are making sure that people feel secure. she in government are making sure that people feel secure.— people feel secure. she says it is im ortant people feel secure. she says it is important to _ people feel secure. she says it is important to own _ people feel secure. she says it is important to own up to _ people feel secure. she says it is important to own up to mistakes| people feel secure. she says it is - important to own up to mistakes and said the prime minister has not owned up to mistakes. you might have not had a chance to catch up with having that the previous home secretary was saying. what i do know is that this is a very importantjob to do. people expect their government to ensure there is security for them. the home office is the heart of that in so many different ways. it is a great office of state and i'm obviously know to do that and i'm going to get on with that right now. there we are. that was grant shapps arriving at the home office and starting work there this evening. not a job... a few demonstrators here outside westminster calling for a general election. grant shapps not

expecting, certainly, when he woke up expecting, certainly, when he woke up this morning, to be home secretary or to be arriving at the home office as home secretary this evening. he was, as you may remember, transport secretary and sacked from that role when liz truss came into downing street and was replaced and now suddenly he has been promoted to one of the great offices of state, home secretary. more extraordinary developments and on top of that, he was a supporter of rishi sue night during the tory leadership campaign and it looks like liz truss is trying to bring some of her components into the cabinet. as this story was breaking a spoke to a former civil servant under the head of that confirmation of grant shapps is the new home secretary i asked for her analysis of what on earth is going on here at westminster. itjust underlines how

unstable this government is that, you know, this time last week, kwasi kwarteng was chancellor, suella braverman the chance that now we have jeremy braverman the chance that now we havejeremy hunt installed as chancellor and we are about to get another home secretary. 0nly chancellor and we are about to get another home secretary. only the third secretary this year but none of this really is conducive to very good government because anything thatis good government because anything that is making progress, chopping and changing ministers, at this rate, is really quite destabilising and also raises more? see about how long the prime minister can really hang on. i was going to ask you that. what does this latest departure from the government, and we don't yet know everything about the circumstances of suella braverman's departure. what does that do for the prime minister's chances? because, as you say, it's just reeks of instability, doesn't it? you make your right. until we know quite why suella braverman went

off by liz truss indeed asked her to leave, then we can't, whether it about policy differences. we do know there were differences emerging between the line suella braverman was taking at the home office on the singing up immigration on the line that liz truss wanted to take so whether it is policy differences are completely different, we don't really know. the other questionnaires who do she appoint? there are stories going around that she appears to be about to appoint grant shapps. if she does that it is a second big shift in the composition of that cabinet because, just asjeremy hunt composition of that cabinet because, just as jeremy hunt was composition of that cabinet because, just asjeremy hunt was a rishi sunak tobacco and run himself for the leadership, grant shapps was another person who backed rishi night and that seemed to be why he did not appear in her initial line—up. received cabinet being reconstructed at pace and there are questions about the people who backed liz truss, people are kwasi kwarteng and suella braverman, what do they now make of her reconstructed line—up with some of the people who backed, in the

highest positions of state, some of the people who backed rishi sunak for the day. whether it is a unifying move, will have to give it a day a week to see if things do not move too quickly for that. just underlining, our political editor said a few moments ago this was not over a policy difference, this resignation, if that is what it was, by the home secretary, but an honest mistake. and we that honest mistake might have been but we do know that suella braverman was a critic of liz truss's u—turn on the top rate of tax and not the prime estate fallen victim to a queue was what she had said at the time. so there were differences, certainly, but this appears to have been, according to our political editor, all because of some kind of mistake and as we were

reflecting earlier, suella braverman did have leadership ambitions of her own, didn't she? she did have leadership ambitions of her own, didn't she?— did have leadership ambitions of her own, didn't she? she did. she ran in the leadership _ own, didn't she? she did. she ran in the leadership election _ own, didn't she? she did. she ran in the leadership election and - own, didn't she? she did. she ran in the leadership election and she - own, didn't she? she did. she ran in the leadership election and she did i the leadership election and she did quite well. she was first out of the blocks, declaring her to candidacy before boris johnson blocks, declaring her to candidacy before borisjohnson had stepped down and commanded some report from the certain factions. it is important for the stability of the government the number ten clear up exactly why suella braverman has been asked to leave government. if it is security related, they may not want to chapter and verse but i do think they need to say this is not about policy, it is not about personalities. it is not about suella braverman resigning to go out and launch an attack from the sidelines, at liz truss, it is because she did something and unlike borisjohnson's government, we feel that ministers have to be held to the highest standards of behaviour

so i think it is really important to get a bit more clarity. i so i think it is really important to get a bit more clarity.— get a bit more clarity. i can 'ust tell ou, get a bit more clarity. i can 'ust tell you, chris i get a bit more clarity. i can 'ust tell you, chris mason �* get a bit more clarity. i can just tell you, chris mason saying . get a bit more clarity. i can just i tell you, chris mason saying there was a breach of the ministerial code. just tell us what the ministerial code is, actually and why that would be a reason for a departure from government. so, the ministerial code is issued by prime ministers and it basically sets out how ministers are to conduct themselves in public office. and you will remember, notoriously, with the former home secretary she was investigated to see whether she had breached the ministerial code over her argument with her former secretary that she had been bullying officials. the investigation by the

then independent ethics adviser, and i don't think liz truss has appointed an independent ethics adviser, said there was substance against priti patel but boris johnson famously decided not to ask her to resign even though it looked as though she had broken the ministerial code so this could be liz truss just, in the same way as she handled the issue at party conference, this could be liz truss trying to signal that she is running a very different sort of government to the borisjohnson one and it is one where breaches in ministerial code will not be tolerated in the way that they were by boris johnson and we remember that a lax approach to standards was at least one of the big contributing factors to boris johnson's downfall. i big contributing factors to boris johnson's downfall.— big contributing factors to boris johnson's downfall. i am hearing, i'm not 100% _ johnson's downfall. i am hearing, i'm not 100% sure _ johnson's downfall. i am hearing, i'm not 100% sure of _ johnson's downfall. i am hearing, i'm not 100% sure of this - johnson's downfall. i am hearing, i'm not 100% sure of this is - johnson's downfall. i am hearing, i'm not 100% sure of this is true, | i'm not 100% sure of this is true, suella braverman would be the shortest serving home secretary since the second world war atjust

over 40 days. 43 days. but again going back to a point about governmental instability, we are onto ourfourth governmental instability, we are onto our fourth chancellor in just a few months and now, of course, the home secretary is gone as well. yes. home secretary is gone as well. yes, i mean, a home secretary is gone as well. yes, i mean. a lot — home secretary is gone as well. yes, i mean, a lot depends _ home secretary is gone as well. yes, i mean, a lot depends on _ home secretary is gone as well. yes i mean, a lot depends on whether they can install someone who looks like a safe pair of hands and, you know, it may be that something quite serious has happened. the reissuing of the code by borisjohnson, the ministerial code, was amended in line with recommendations from the committee on standards in public life, saying not every offence required a ministerial resignation was at the lesser sanction like an apology. so we might assume this might be quite a serious breach of the ministerial code if liz truss thinks it is justified asking suella

braverman to leave the government but it is quite difficult to disentangle all of this at this stage but, in terms of the people trying to get on with government business, it is really quite difficult to almost have to be asking who is our minister today? that is not a recipe for great government so we have to hope that things settle down quite a bit but, you know, you could say suella braverman had not had that long post but i do think you're probably right because everybody has had to go back to the fact that kwasi kwarteng with his very short tenure was the second shortest serving chancellor the cars mcleod died of a heart attack. not in my experience has been home secretary with a shorter tenure than that. . . , secretary with a shorter tenure than that. ., ., , , ., secretary with a shorter tenure than that. . ., , , ., ., that. that was before we had it confirmed _ that. that was before we had it confirmed that _ that. that was before we had it confirmed that grant _ that. that was before we had it confirmed that grant shapps i that. that was before we had it confirmed that grant shapps is | that. that was before we had it - confirmed that grant shapps is the new home secretary, replacing suella braverman who has gone. 0n new home secretary, replacing suella braverman who has gone. on another day of intense political drama here

at westminster where it has quietened down a little bit. some of those anti—government demonstrators have now left the scene but lets hear from our political correspondent who has been inside the houses of parliament getting reaction from conservative mps. i have a government minister with me. he was a supporter of suella braverman during her leadership bed and one of the first supporters. clear something up for us, first off. as she resigned of her own accord or has she been sacked or pushed? accord or has she been sacked or ushed? ,, . , accord or has she been sacked or ushed? ,, .,, . ., pushed? she has chosen to tender her resi . nation pushed? she has chosen to tender her resignation following _ pushed? she has chosen to tender her resignation following a _ pushed? she has chosen to tender her resignation following a mistake - pushed? she has chosen to tender her resignation following a mistake that i resignation following a mistake that she made. i? resignation following a mistake that she made. , ., , ., she made. iv spoken to us and then? i have, she made. iv spoken to us and then? i have. ves- — she made. iv spoken to us and then? i have, yes. does— she made. iv spoken to us and then? i have, yes. does she _ she made. iv spoken to us and then? i have, yes. does she feel— she made. iv spoken to us and then? i have, yes. does she feel she - she made. iv spoken to us and then? i have, yes. does she feel she has i i have, yes. does she feel she has been treated _ i have, yes. does she feel she has been treated fairly? _ i have, yes. does she feel she has been treated fairly? she _ i have, yes. does she feel she has been treated fairly? she is - i have, yes. does she feel she has been treated fairly? she is a i i have, yes. does she feel she has| been treated fairly? she is a friend ofthe been treated fairly? she is a friend of the prime _ been treated fairly? she is a friend of the prime minister _ been treated fairly? she is a friend of the prime minister and - been treated fairly? she is a friend of the prime minister and wants i been treated fairly? she is a friend | of the prime minister and wants the prime minister to succeed and am absolutely clear if she had not made the mistake she would be continuing as home secretary and doing a fantasticjob. i mean, obviously, as a supporter of suella braverman as well as liz truss i wanted all of them to be succeeding some very disappointed but she knows she has made a mistake and she resigned over

political correspondent reporting this to us sojeremy hunt meeting tory backbench mps lit up a government source saying jeremy hunt's principal message to tory mps was how the party needs to unite, how he needs to balance the pressures on spending and on tax as well and sources also saying it was a good reception with about five or six rounds of table banging which is the traditional sign there at the 1922 committee, of approval. the chancellor of the exchequer meeting tory mps understood we cap on today's drama he had missed minster. a letter of resignation from suella braverman and about how she had broken the rules by using a personal e—mail to send government information but a real sting was in the third paragraph where she said that she has concerns about the directions of this government. not only have a broken key pledges that were promised to our voters but i have serious concerns about this

government's commitment to honouring manifesto commitment. and she has been replaced by grant shapps who was a supporter of vichy sooner who was a supporter of vichy sooner who was of course the opponent of liz truss during the tory leadership campaign so it does look as though liz truss is trying to bring some of her political opponents into the very heart of government and to the highest echelons of the government. you have been watching special coverage from westminster. well, why don't we get a quick look at the weather forecast. it don't we get a quick look at the weatherforecast. it has been don't we get a quick look at the weather forecast. it has been quite windy and turbulent weather wise here at westminster. not to mention politically, but chris has got the latest forecast for us. for many people it has been a much cloudier today was in fairly gusty winds around as well. low pressure firmly in charge, throwing bands of cloud across the country. some of the seen

rain as well but it was not all doom and gloom. sunshine coming through. temperatures 20 degrees across the south it whilst it was mild and sunny across the south we had this really heavy area that worked into northern ireland. some localised flooding. that was clouds gathering in the first sign of that system working its way in. tonight we have heavy rain. the rain is going to be heaviest across the western side of the country. particularly for northern ireland and parts of south—western scotland. the rain probably not too heavy across eastern areas of england. temperatures overnight into double figures so it is another mild night. tomorrow we do have wet weather on the way. it is from the same area of

low pressure but this time the heaviest rain is going to come from this developing part of the weather system across portugal and spain with a rain expected to work across fronts in parts of the uk. some uncertainty with a heavy strain is going to be tomorrow. 0n the certainly across eastern areas of england however, this system could be more developed that happens, we see they notjust affecting eastern england but becoming widespread across the midlands, northern england and southern scotland as well. the rain, where it does arrive is likely to heavy perhaps the thunder mixed in. the wind a little bit later and picking up scotland. for friday, though pressure still with us. it cannot move anywhere because it is trap to the east. it will continue to throw up bands of rain from the south—west. some of the rain really quite heavy with thunder mixed in. the wind is picking up again for northern england. in man gusts. maybe 40s around coastal areas but inviting moments we could see some particularly high—temperature is for the time of year with 20 in norwich. that is 5 degrees above the seasonal average. this season, i would not
