and messages about matters of national security? and messages about matters of nationalsecurity? by and messages about matters of national security? by revealing that this has happened, it raises far more questions than it answers and as at the absolutely say, it goes back to the heart of it, that it was kept secret ship —— kept secret because of the conservative leadership, i would because of the conservative leadership, iwould have because of the conservative leadership, i would have thought security was more important. 50 leadership, i would have thought security was more important. so the ruestion is security was more important. so the question is why _ security was more important. so the question is why it _ security was more important. so the question is why it now _ security was more important. so the question is why it now and _ security was more important. so the question is why it now and who - question is why it now and who leaked it? front page of the daily star, i have struggled reading that headline with a straight face. my colleagues at the daily star love that _ colleagues at the daily star love that i_ colleagues at the daily star love that. i didn't think they would be running — that. i didn't think they would be running out of pans because they seem _ running out of pans because they seem to — running out of pans because they seem to have exhausted them but, no, they dont— seem to have exhausted them but, no, they don't disappoint tomorrow morning. — they don't disappoint tomorrow morning, and so they are suggesting that this _ morning, and so they are suggesting that this hack is just the tip of the iceberg.

retains this presidential role, so he is now free to speak out, and he has spoken out against rishi sunak and criticised the prime minister's decision for not going to the cop27 summit. she is not alone. edmund band, the shadow climate jan environment secretary has said the same, —— ed miliband has said the same. many other people have said the same, borisjohnson is planning to rock up in egypt. it is really, really quite extraordinary for alok sharma, who is a man that you hear very few words from, who is now actually saying it undermines britain, and i think there are grave questions about this government's commitment to environmental measures that need to be taken as a matter of urgency. that need to be taken as a matter of uruen . ., , . , that need to be taken as a matter of uruen . ., ., ., .,

environmentally aware. and frankly you can be tickling around with a budget but if you don't sort out climate change and make a commitment to it, a budget in the economy is going to be going south very quickly anyway. the going to be going south very quickly an a . ., ., anyway. the front page of the observer. _ anyway. the front page of the observer, nigel, _ anyway. the front page of the observer, nigel, qatar- anyway. the front page of the i observer, nigel, qatar lavishes anyway. the front page of the - observer, nigel, qatar lavishes -- observer, nigel, qatar lavishes —— lavishes gifts on mps in three world cup pr drive. this lavishes gifts on mps in three world cup pr drive-— cup pr drive. this is a charm offensive _ cup pr drive. this is a charm offensive by _ cup pr drive. this is a charm offensive by qatar, - cup pr drive. this is a charm offensive by qatar, and - cup pr drive. this is a charm offensive by qatar, and in i cup pr drive. this is a charm i offensive by qatar, and in total, they— offensive by qatar, and in total, they gave — offensive by qatar, and in total, they gave £250,000 worth of benefit in kind _ they gave £250,000 worth of benefit in kind to _ they gave £250,000 worth of benefit in kind to mps. these were things like stays— in kind to mps. these were things like stays in luxury hotels, business _ like stays in luxury hotels, business class flights, tickets to horse _ business class flights, tickets to horse racing. obviously for the whole — horse racing. obviously for the whole idea was to try and sell the country— whole idea was to try and sell the country to— whole idea was to try and sell the country to our parliamentarians. i'm not sure _

from a state that has got such an appalling human rights record, i mean, at some point, could parliamentarians learn to say no? we'll see what happens. sun expresses our finally —— our final paper. expresses our finally -- our final -a er. , expresses our finally -- our final .a er, , ., , expresses our finally -- our final n-aer. , ., , , ., . ., expresses our finally -- our final n-aer. , ., , ,., . ., , paper. this vanity pro'ect of boris johnson which h paper. this vanity pro'ect of boris johnson which was _ paper. this vanity pro'ect of boris johnson which was a _ paper. this vanity project of boris johnson which was a £250 - paper. this vanity project of boris johnson which was a £250 millionj johnson which was a £250 million yacht _ johnson which was a £250 million yacht to— johnson which was a £250 million yacht to replace britannia was never going _ yacht to replace britannia was never going to _ yacht to replace britannia was never going to get off the ground anyway but i suppose with yachts you will never _ but i suppose with yachts you will never get — but i suppose with yachts you will never get into the water now. i think— never get into the water now. i think the — never get into the water now. i think the deathknell was sealed for it at the _ think the deathknell was sealed for it at the tory party conference when jacob _ it at the tory party conference when jacob rees—mogg was briefly business secretary— jacob rees—mogg was briefly business secretary and he was saying at a time _ secretary and he was saying at a time of— secretary and he was saying at a time of cost of living crisis, we shouldn't— time of cost of living crisis, we shouldn't be spending money like this. shouldn't be spending money like this the — shouldn't be spending money like this. the navy didn't want it either. _ this. the navy didn't want it either, and so the moment that boris johnson _ either, and so the moment that boris johnson was — either, and so the moment that boris johnson was no longer prime minister. _ johnson was no longer prime minister, this was certainly dead in the water —
