8:05 pm
mortgages and so high that people can't get them. and even those being withdrawn from mortgage companies, borrowing has gone up for the government except to excess. there's been a disaster. so they're me seeing you turn off to you turn off to you turn, culminating in an absolutely shocking day. yesterday the home secretary resigning over. she sat watching, not completely sure, and then this fiasco in the house of commons with this vote, an absolute chaos breaking out. so she brought it on herself. however, i didn't think anybody expected her to go so quickly and that it would be over fine to day and that will be it, she resign. now the times is reporting that boris johnston is said to make a comeback. and everybody's freaked vans. i mean, really? yeah, bars, johnson, the former prime minister, the prime minister who lives trust took over from you, had to quit because of scandals in downing street over parties during lockdown. yet,

8:07 pm
that number of m. p 's backing him. when so many said, it's time for you to go, boris. we don't know that. and he said he doesn't know that they need a unifying candidate. they need somebody who in by next friday will be the leader of their party and the next prime minister calls for a new fresh general elections getting louder and louder, turned the toys for their briefs. the tories do not want a general election. why? because they are polling so badly and it will absolutely annihilate their party. they are doing everything to say, we don't need bomb, we still go to majority in parliament. however, cause our growing and i'm certainly the labor party will do everything they can to push for general election. but at the moment it doesn't look like they will have to be one. obviously, this is bush's politics. anything can change, but that next leader that next prime minister, whoever he or she is, has got to somehow unify the party and try to persuade the british public that the
