stepping down, i cannot deliver the mandate on which i was elected by the conservative party. i therefore, spoken to his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. only 6 weeks ago trust was confirmed as prime minister by the late queen elizabeth the 2nd, but a disastrous budget from the no former chancellor, quasi quart ng spelled, the beginning of the end high tax rates are home secretary, she well braverman walked after a row over immigration, and then a vote to bon fracking. plato to mid chaotic scenes sealed, trust his faith. hill on ha. despite her own failure to vote, she won the ballots, but many tory and he's rebelled amid widespread anger that such a regime was ever approved by the party. i am, i'm livid. and you know,

i really shouldn't say this, but i hope all those people that put this trust in number 10. i hope it was worth it. if it was worth it for the ministerial red box, i hope it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table because from the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary. tore part, anger hasn't been confined to the conservatives. there are calls from opposition and voters alike for a general election. the tax got gone, so we called have a revolving door of tails. we can have another experiment at the top of the tory party. that is an alternative, and that's a stable labor government. and the public retitled to have their say, that's why it should be a general election. no, any general election does. this is a cycle of rubbish. and they replace rubbish from all rubbish, number of adult. she's with the certainly the policy decisions that she might, in that numbers rate was already allowed in this country as an unelected. despite

now we have a non elected government. that's not democracies, etc. as a trust says her successor is to be voted in by the party. by the end of next week . with boris johnson's former chancellor wishes to knock a critic of trust, his budget plans among the front runners to repeat all over. well, let's get more on this with d, w 's, emily gordon in the studio with me. so what are the next steps for the coming days? yes, sir, so far, no general election has been announced. instead, the conservatives will pick a new leader and the car candidates who want to succeed. las trunk have to ganeth port. they only got a few days to gone us ports and, and to be nominated. and they need a 100 votes from a members of parliament, from concert is members of parliament. and. and so you need to know in parliament at the moment we've got about 350 bit more conservative numbers of,

of government conserves members of parliament. sorry. and so a maxim that means that a maximum of 3 candidates can actually emerge from this 1st round nominations. if it's, if 3 actually emerge than the person with a few slight votes eliminated. when you have 2 candidates, then there, there will be another vote. and the person and then towards the toward the conservative members of parliament will give their preferred option. but this option of these 2 glass candidates will also then be taken to the members of the conservative party. he will then be able to vote on mine which power which, which, which pass and they prefer. and that's how the leader, the new prime minister eventually will be elected. and all of this, you know, so the nomination has to be done by monday. and the election will actually that happen by next friday. so by next friday we will know he will be the next prime minister of the u. k. so who would be the candidate that the policy could get

behind? well, that's going to be the very big question. the polls currently and look like she seen actually leads them and he so far as able to looks as if you can go to the most support. i'm pretty soon. i can self ran for child run for some comments over the summer. he was running against less trust. he has experience and government as the former chancellor. and he also saw the loss of the core of the course, these last 6 weeks, that what he said about this trust economic policies, they would be detrimental, actually came true. so he, you know, that also gives them support in terms of his capabilities and competence. and then of course, what we're seeing on him as well is there are women that an important could also be a front runner in his and in his, in a. so this election process many election process. am she is there she is the

leader of the house of commons. she's not very well known. she also doesn't have a lot of government experience. so it is said that, you know, because she is a little bit on tested. it might be a risk including her. i'm and, and we also have, obviously, boss johnson, there's a hash tag trending online at the moment saying bring back boris. and you said to be on his way back from his car been holiday. so that could also be an option to keep in mind. barstow. johnson is now also he's still being investigated by a parliamentary committee. whether he misled the house of comes over the summer so it's going to be an interesting race. and also the biggest question will be, you know, who can actually unite this party. that is so, so divided ok, that is a emily guardian. thank you so much. well, let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world. firefighters in washington state are trying to contain a wildfire that has forced thousands of people to flee than
