12:34 pm
they say three of those people who died were children, they said they were unable to give us details of the edges of the children. it is a very difficult time for the family members of those who died, but also for the local area. it was a house fire in hounslow. many of the reporters asked the police afterwards if they are any closer to establishing a cause of the fire. they say that they are keeping an open mind on that at the moment. a little update doubt that we got on that house fire in hounslow in west london. we will bring you more on that as and when we get it. let's go back to our main story, and live in downing street for what has been a very busy morning here. it began with the sacking of the home secretary, suella braverman. now we have a new home secretary, james
12:35 pm
cleverly, who has left the foreign office. the foreign office, the new entrance is david cameron. of course, the former british prime minister. a bit of a surprise to see him back. he has taken a relatively back seat when it has come to politics since he has left downing street. now he is back in the front line. he has one of the great offices of state as foreign secretary. i'mjoined offices of state as foreign secretary. i'm joined now by giles canning him, who used to be an adviser to david cameron and help run his former election campaign. he know mr cameron very well. what do you think its calculations where when it came to accepting thatjob and returning to front line

12:37 pm
something he was pushing for? i don't know about timelines, but i think a lot of people recognise within tory circles that he still had a lot to give public life when he left office and i suspect this is him wanting him still to contribute. we need a statesman on the world stage, someone who has had a lot of experience of world affairs at an incredible rocky, difficult time. i think he will have a lot to offer. no doubt i expect you will see him on the airwaves quite a lot in the run—up to the election which could be six months to a year away. there are some who _ be six months to a year away. there are some who take _ be six months to a year away. there are some who take the _ be six months to a year away. there are some who take the country - be six months to a year away. there are some who take the country view that it are some who take the country view thatitis are some who take the country view that it is an old face and it doesn't really represent an evolving and changing party to simply bring back a former prime minister, not
12:38 pm
least the prime minister had to quit because the campaign he supported to remain didn't actually succeed. the government — remain didn't actually succeed. tie: government needs someone remain didn't actually succeed. ti2 government needs someone who has almost unprecedented levels of experience. they need that wise counsel. of course, it is politics so you will not please all of the people all of the time and some people all of the time and some people will not be happy with this appointment, but i will reinforce that he is a team player, he has led a party, he has been an election winner and i think he brings a lot more to the table. rishi sunak will admit that calculation. he does lead admit that calculation. he does lead a party which is a series of delicate coalitions and they will have to think about how this plays out in westminster with the party. he is obviously made the calculation that the pros outweigh the cons. that is something i agree with. he will not be one of these former prime ministers sniping from the
12:39 pm
sidelines, since he left office he has kept his counsel. he has only intervened on certain issues and not intervened on certain issues and not in a way to undermine the government. he will put his differences aside and be a team player. differences aside and be a team -la er. ~ . ., differences aside and be a team .la err ., ., “ differences aside and be a team -la er. ~ . ,, player. what do you think he can brin: to player. what do you think he can bring to the _ player. what do you think he can bring to the foreign _ player. what do you think he can bring to the foreign office? - player. what do you think he can bring to the foreign office? of. bring to the foreign office? of course, he is used to travelling internationally, he has led delegations around the world, he knows foreign leaders, but what's do you think he can add to the mix? ihe you think he can add to the mix? he has you think he can add to the mix? h2 has immense experience on the world stage, will know some of these leaders, was well respected on the stage. he knows the different dynamics at play. we are going through an unprecedented period. geopolitics is very rocky. he will be a studying voice. britain needs
12:40 pm
to assure that it is asserting itself on the world stage and assuring that while we are going through this each period of disruption that we remain one of the big players around the table. i think he has that person and will be that person, have that dialogue with people who can open doors, but also bring with it a huge amount of experience. bring with it a huge amount of exoerience-— bring with it a huge amount of experience. bring with it a huge amount of exerience. ~ . ., ,, . experience. what do you think about the other moves? _ experience. what do you think about the other moves? you _ experience. what do you think about the other moves? you have - experience. what do you think about the other moves? you have served l experience. what do you think about| the other moves? you have served in the other moves? you have served in the conservative party in a number of rules. what about the move of james cleverly from the foreign office to the home office? suella braverman's _ office to the home office? suella braverman's position _ office to the home office? suella braverman's position was - office to the home office? suella l braverman's position was becoming unsustainable, the attack on the police made her position somewhat untenable and also, crucially, she was undermining the prime minister, becoming a polarising figure, at a time when we are only 12 months from
12:41 pm
the election. departure was inevitable. do you think she will be a problem on the backbenches? i think so. i have no doubt she will make noises from the backbenches and she will seek to probably undermine the government, but i don't think long—term she will necessarily be much of a problem, at all. {lilia long-term she will necessarily be much of a problem, at all. ok, giles cannina , much of a problem, at all. ok, giles canning. former— much of a problem, at all. ok, giles canning, former special _ much of a problem, at all. ok, giles canning, former special adviser - much of a problem, at all. ok, giles canning, former special adviser to l canning, former special adviser to david cameron, thank you very much for sharing your insights on this very busy morning here in westminster. of course there has been lots of activity in downing street. just about 30 seconds ago we saw stephen barclay, the health secretary, walk through the big black door. as someone who might know what that is about as chief political correspondent, henry. mr barclay going through that door, anything to
12:42 pm

12:43 pm
secretary, that will be the biggest item in their entry. there is a general election coming up, and that is hanging over all these appointments, and you can expect nhs waiting list to be a big part of the election campaign. it'll be fascinating to see who rishi sunak will put there. that could be a big part of the election campaign, defending the government's record and asking the public to trust them with the nhs moving forward. there are no women _ with the nhs moving forward. there are no women now _ with the nhs moving forward. there are no women now in _ with the nhs moving forward. there are no women now in the _ with the nhs moving forward. there are no women now in the four- with the nhs moving forward. there are no women now in the four main offices of state.— offices of state. that has been the case for a while. _ offices of state. that has been the case for a while. a _ offices of state. that has been the case for a while. a lot _ offices of state. that has been the case for a while. a lot of— offices of state. that has been the case for a while. a lot of people i case for a while. a lot of people talking about rishi sunak possibly sacking suella braverman, that did come up before he did sack her. obviously, that will be a thing that people will talk about. i wonder if
12:44 pm
we will see rishi sunak try to promote more women to senior ranks of the government. i guess the two most senior woman in government now are the science secretary and the energy secretary. perhaps we will see a woman in the health department.— see a woman in the health department. see a woman in the health deartment. ~ ., , , . department. we saw to rhys carre earlier. department. we saw to rhys carre earlier- yes. _ department. we saw to rhys carre earlier. yes, that _ department. we saw to rhys carre earlier. yes, that was _ department. we saw to rhys carre earlier. yes, that was odd, - department. we saw to rhys carre earlier. yes, that was odd, to - department. we saw to rhys carre earlier. yes, that was odd, to sayl earlier. yes, that was odd, to say the least- — earlier. yes, that was odd, to say the least. was _ earlier. yes, that was odd, to say the least. was that _ earlier. yes, that was odd, to say the least. was that just _ earlier. yes, that was odd, to say the least. was that just a - the least. was that 'ust a random. . . ? i the least. was that 'ust a random...? ifi the least. was that 'ust a random...? i don't h the least. was thatjust a random. . . ? i don't think| the least. was that just a | random. . . ? i don't think it the least. was that just a - random...? i don't think it is ransom _ random...? i don't think it is ransom anybody _ random...? i don't think it is ransom anybody turning - random...? i don't think it is ransom anybody turning up | ransom anybody turning up on reshuffle day. there has been a lot of chatter for a long time that therese coffey, the environment secretary, might be sacked. usually if you're going to get sacked, you don't go in there you leave by the back or get sacked over in parliament. the prime minister has an office in parliament that i think they seem tojust an office in parliament that i think they seem to just only use for sacking, i've never heard it used in any other way! i do expect therese

12:47 pm
was coming through security as that was coming through security as that was happening and somebody said to me, you havejust missed was happening and somebody said to me, you have just missed something really big! i had no idea what they were talking about. as far as politics can surprise us, that did come out of nowhere. you politics can surprise us, that did come out of nowhere.— politics can surprise us, that did come out of nowhere. you have to go back to 1970 — come out of nowhere. you have to go back to 1970 since _ come out of nowhere. you have to go back to 1970 since a _ come out of nowhere. you have to go back to 1970 since a former— come out of nowhere. you have to go back to 1970 since a former prime - back to 1970 since a former prime minister decided he would come back on serve in a capacity and another prime minister's cabinet. this is not on anyone's radar. when david cameron got out of the car i was bamboozled! it was unthinkable. now it is thinkable and he is foreign secretary. you could make arguments on why it makes sense for rishi sunak, but there are challenges in that appointment, as well. i think on a day on which the prime minister has sacked as home secretary, for that to not even be the most
12:48 pm
significant thing that has happened gives you a flavour of how amazing it is that he has brought david cameron back to front line politics. most people in pubs tonight will be talking about the return of david cameron. . , cameron. right, he was the prime ministerfor— cameron. right, he was the prime minister for six _ cameron. right, he was the prime minister for six years. _ cameron. right, he was the prime minister for six years. you - cameron. right, he was the prime minister for six years. you saw - minister for six years. you saw yesterday at the cenotaph the extraordinary line—up of former prime ministers. there are more live and prime ministers than there has been at any point in british history, partially because prime ministers are getting younger, but it also gives you a sense that it really is quite unusual this stretch of former prime ministers we have had and the reminder of the changes that have taken place in the conservative party since 2010. taste conservative party since 2010. we were 'ust conservative party since 2010. we were just talking about therese coffey. chris mason has been reporting that she has been sacked. so our theory about going through that door means you get something
12:49 pm
good does not hold true, because she has been sacked. i thought it was unusual that she walked up the street given the rumours about her being sacked. there has been fairly wide dissatisfaction among conservative mps with a party's ability to look like they're getting ability to look like they're getting a hold on the concerns about sewage into rivers in particular. that has become a significant issue in so many conservative seats. a lot of members of the public are very about that. some supporters of rishi sunak think therese coffey hasn't struck the right tone on that, she doesn't seem too concerned about it or got a grip on it. it is a reminder that rishi sunak�*s approach to conservative party politics is changing. when he became prime minister he was eager to soothe divisions in the conservative party and show that he was thrown his arms around the supporters of liz truss. you don't find a bigger supporter of liz truss than therese coffey. no
12:50 pm
rishi sunak obviously thinks that is less important and essential the backbenches. we will seejohn major walking appear next! to stay with us, henry. i cannot speak to polly toynbee, who is a columnist with the guardian newspaper. good to talk to you, polly. it has been quite a morning. what will you be writing in your column? i what will you be writing in your column? . . what will you be writing in your column? . , . ., column? i have been writing away to say reshuffle — column? i have been writing away to say reshuffle is _ column? i have been writing away to say reshuffle is make _ column? i have been writing away to say reshuffle is make very _ column? i have been writing away to say reshuffle is make very much - column? i have been writing away to j say reshuffle is make very much less difference than people like you and i think. the political obsessives we long for reshuffles. most people barely notice them. true, they will notice suella braverman going, they will notice david cameron arriving, but on the whole it makes very little difference. we look at the
12:51 pm
theology of a political party and what does it mean that these people are in at those people are rights. what we see as a party ennis date of desperation, that is trying to hold onto those red bull seats, the ones that were linked to the tories over brexit and boris and have now fled. instead, focus all their attention on the moderates in their traditional seats, like hampshire, surrey, commuter seats, the home county seats, that they are in danger of losing because already they are on the move. i don't know whether a move to a slightly more moderate less divisive position will happen. i think it is too late. polly, as you say, a lot of these reshuffles are more a political obsession, but up and down the country there will be people over the dinner table saying, oh my goodness, david cameron is back. the --eole goodness, david cameron is back. ti2 people don't much like. there is a
12:52 pm
polo to date that says that only 25% think of him favourably, nearly twice as many think of him unfavourably. it is not waving a magic wand. people remember that he and george osborne were the architects of historically austerity. that is really being felt now. every single public surface is in desperate straits and they know thatis in desperate straits and they know that is where it began. so i'm not sure that he will be a great vote winner. ~ . ., , ., ,, ., . winner. what do you think overall? do ou winner. what do you think overall? do you think _ winner. what do you think overall? do you think this _ winner. what do you think overall? do you think this reshuffle - winner. what do you think overall? do you think this reshuffle will - do you think this reshuffle will help the tory party unite ahead of a general election?— help the tory party unite ahead of a general election? there is already a lot of noise — general election? there is already a lot of noise from _ general election? there is already a lot of noise from the _ general election? there is already a lot of noise from the likes _ general election? there is already a lot of noise from the likes of- general election? there is already a lot of noise from the likes of jacob i lot of noise from the likes of jacob rees—mogg —— jacob lot of noise from the likes of jacob rees—mogg ——jacob rees—mogg and lot of noise from the likes of jacob rees—mogg —— jacob rees—mogg and the people of the backbenches who regarded suella braverman as one of theirs, so i think they will be noisy. there are so many of these
12:53 pm
little groups and little caucuses on the backbenches of the tory party with all different sorts of names and initials all fighting each other. the chance of unity i think is fairly slender. i don't think there will be quiet. i think each of them will go on saying exactly what they think. they seem to have given up they think. they seem to have given up on party unity. it was essential for rishi sunak to establish some authority. he couldn't really have a load suella braverman to get away with such disobedience time and time again, so i think he had to do it. very briefly, this day began with the sacking of suella braverman, as you say. it is unlikely that this is the last we will save her. i you say. it is unlikely that this is the last we will save her.- the last we will save her. i think she will want _ the last we will save her. i think she will want to _ the last we will save her. i think she will want to be _ the last we will save her. i think she will want to be seen - the last we will save her. i think she will want to be seen a - the last we will save her. i think she will want to be seen a lot. i the last we will save her. i think i she will want to be seen a lot. she is the standard bearer of the most right wing successor after the tories are suspected to lose the
12:54 pm
