1:16 pm
1689. that means that the courts can't make parliament behave . so can't make parliament behave. so you've really got to think of parliament like a sort of a house where the parents have gone away and they've decided to behave so they can't be told to what do. so they've decided how they will behave and they're now behaving in this in this reckless that is completely reckless way that is completely outside the rule of law. stephen, i think a lot of outside the rule of law. - stephen, i think a lot of people wewre—wrrn- would have sympathy with that wew— would have sympathy with that wew-wrrn— view and agree with you wholeheartedly . woodward, wholeheartedly. shaun woodward, former mp, what is your former labour mp, what is your reaction to what stephen said there? because there are people who do think there is an establishment stitch up at play here. they may also think at the same time that boris johnson should hang up his political gloves . no should hang up his political gloves. no i think you're in danger of or talking to yourselves out there in the country. boris johnson yourselves out there in the country. borisjohnson is country. boris johnson is nrererw— country. boris johnson is nrererw. rr— country. borisjohnson is history. it was— country. borisjohnson is history. it was a- c3 boris johnson is history. it was a majority of conservative— history. it was a majority of conservative mps that actually eenrrerree— conservative mps that actually controlled the _ conservative mps that actually controlled the house of commons. t hey— controlled the house of commons. rnew eewre— controlled the house of commons. they eewre newe— controlled the house of commons. they could have stopped this going— they could have stopped this going-privileges- going to the privileges committee _ going to the privileges committee - going to the privileges committee 37” . ; committee the privileges committee the privileges committee is seven members.

1:18 pm
party, how on earth do two more people on top of boris johnson help the conservative party win the next general election? all i can say is that this is now a spectator sport. people might be in the labour party to some extent , really just need to sit extent, really just need to sit back and just watch the fireworks go off because what stephen says is very interesting, but it's detached from the real world. boris johnson is not popular in the country. if he was popular, we know boris , he'd stand. and know boris, he'd stand. and because he believes he could win. the reason boris isn't standing in his seat in a by—election for air or unfair caused by the privileges committee is he knows he can't win. i committee is he knows he can't win . i mean, stephen coming back win. i mean, stephen coming back to win. i mean, stephen coming back re wner— win. i mean, stephen coming back re wner seen— win. i mean, stephen coming back to what sean said— “ i mean, stephen coming back to what sean said there, he's nenr— to what sean said there, he's nenr .— to what sean said there, he's nenr . rr— to what sean said there, he's right. if boris— to what sean said there, he's right . if boris johnson. no, to what sean said there, he's right . if borisjohnson. no, no right. if boris johnson. no, no .rner— right. if boris johnson. no, no .rner re— right. if boris johnson. no, no .rner re rner— right. if boris johnson. no, no , that is that is— right. if boris johnson. no, no , that is that is his personal eernren— , that is that is his personal eernren re— , that is that is his personal eernren re ne— , that is that is his personal opinion is no .— , that is that is his personal opinion is no . but his opinion is no. but his eeewrenrw— opinion is no. but his popularity ratings aren't exeerw— popularity ratings aren't exeerw ery— popularity ratings aren't exactly sky high at the moment, exactly sky hiin at the moment, are exactly sky high at the moment, rnewe— exactly sky high at the moment,

1:20 pm
suspension for what is on any objective analysis , a lesser objective analysis, a lesser offence and it would always matter. i mean, whether you care about this stuff is your personal political opinion . so personal political opinion. so when i say matter, i'm not trying to say you have to parade in the streets and actually care, but i'm not ever going to stop pointing out a show trial if it was to this gentleman and he was still an mp, he can rest assured i would be telling the world it was a show trial of him. it would be true or not. well , sean. him. it would be true or not. well, sean. no, no . emily, it's well, sean. no, no. emily, it's really important point here because , you know, you can because, you know, you can lambast harriet harman as much as you want , lambast harriet harman as much as you want, but there are four conservatives of the seven members on this committee. and when i was last at school, four is a majority. right if the four members of the conservative party share stephen's view , then party share stephen's view, then it doesn't matter what harriet harman thinks. but they don't. and what i think we're going to see here is i'm afraid it's the
1:21 pm
end. and i think for me, what's sad and i was you know, i'm old enough to have been around when margaret thatcher went and i was then a bbc journalist. but i have to say to you that what's interesting here is boris has brought this about for himself . brought this about for himself. but crucially, mrs. thatcher arguably brought about her own downfall, too. but the way she went was with with extraordinary dignity. and i think what is really most striking about what's happening right now is this is sort of like wagner's twilight of the gods. i mean, the pillars of the temple are being torn down by boris and those around him, like nadine dorries . and instead of this man dorries. and instead of this man going, he's been prime minister, he deserves some respect , right? he deserves some respect, right? but at the moment, people like me might be prepared to give him respect . he's so busy me might be prepared to give him respect. he's so busy tearing it all down. so we're now commenting on that and i think forever in my mind will be that last debate after mrs. thatcher went in the house of commons,
1:22 pm
when dennis skinner stood up to attack her and she responded to dennis skinner by saying, i'm enjoying this , i'm enjoying enjoying this, i'm enjoying this. and she had the support of the whole house. and what is extraordinary in this moment, in this twilight of the gods, wagnerian, shakespeare , syrian wagnerian, shakespeare, syrian moment is that boris instead of going like a dignified prime minister is simply saying, i'm going to sink the boat. minister is simply saying, i'm going to sink the boat . and that going to sink the boat. and that is what is so extraordinary . and is what is so extraordinary. and i think what history will actually recall here won't be the interstices of harriet harman and the privileges committee . it will be how committee. it will be how somebody who has been prime minister of our country , he's minister of our country, he's been our prime minister i'm a labour politician, but he's been our prime minister. what is going to i think, be very sad here is how he leaves . well, and here is how he leaves. well, and that i think is really for the long term , we shall see. we long term, we shall see. we history will judge him on. i'm very interested that fantastic

the news organisations had in him and the royal family and by exhibiting the differences , he exhibiting the differences, he said. there's over 140 articles being investigated . they're being investigated. they're focusing on 33. but when you look at the kind of intimate detail that was being covered in this story, it does prove what he's saying, that as a human being to have outside forces, this interested in personal aspects of your life is not right . and any human being can right. and any human being can agree with that . but that agree with that. but that ieesn-r— agree with that. but that doesn't that _ rigiiri but that doesn't that doesn't. but dodi to doesn't that doesn't. but dodi is sorry— doesn't that doesn't. but dodi is sorry rs— doesn't that doesn't. but dodi to sorry to interrupt, but that ieesn-r— to sorry to interrupt, but that doesn't really— to sorry to interrupt, but that doesn't really matter, does it? wnerner— doesn't really matter, does it? wnerner rne— doesn't really matter, does it? whether the whether the press weein- a para- whether the whether the press were in a para acidic were acting in a para acidic iasnien— were acting in a para acidic iasnisn as— were acting in a para acidic iasnisn as yea— were acting in a para acidic fashion as you said, it's about wnerner— fashion as you said, it's about wnerner ne— fashion as you said, it's about whether he can— fashion as you said, it's about whether he can prove on the iaianse— whether he can prove on the iaianse si— whether he can prove on the balance of probabilities that the balance of probabilities that rne paper— balance of probabilities that rne paper was— balance of probabilities that the paper was engaging in iiieeai— the paper was engaging in iiieeai in— the paper was engaging in illegal in illegal phone hacking or illegal in illegal phone hacking er erner— illegal in illegal phone hacking or other illegal— illegal in illegal phone hacking or other illegal information garnering— or other illegal information garnering . — or other illegal information gathering . gathering. that's the that's the part where he's not given enough , but there's just enough to keep looking into it because the evidence was given by jane, who was a former royal editor for

winning an election against the odds with a massive majority of the biggest since 1987. david, just on that people who are speaking out in support of boris does seem to be well, the number does seem to be well, the number does seem to be well, the number does seem to be shrinking. it does seem to be shrinking. it does seem to be shrinking. it does seem as though people were saying— does seem as though people were saying anar— does seem as though people were saying that there— does seem as though people were saying that there may be six, seven resignate _ saying that there may be six, seven resignate russians inneiiareiy— seven resignate russians immediately after boris rennsen-s— immediately after boris rennsen-s .— immediately after boris johnson's . that doesn't seem to johnson's. that doesn't seem to nave— johnson's. that doesn't seem to nave re— johnson's. that doesn't seem to have come to fruition. we've eniy— have come to fruition. we've eniy nai— have come to fruition. we've only had nadine— have come to fruition. we've only had nadine dorries and wigei— only had nadine dorries and wigei asians.— only had nadine dorries and nigel adams. do you think boris rennsen— nigel adams. do you think boris rennsen nas— nigel adams. do you think boris johnson has the _ nigel adams. do you think boris johnson has the support of the pains— johnson has the support of the papiis re— johnson has the support of the papiis re pe— johnson has the support of the public to be able— johnson has the support of the public to be able to come back, to public to be able to come back, re pe— public to be able to come back, re pe apie— public to be able to come back, re pe apie re— public to be able to come back, to be able to garner the support he to be able to garner the support no ense— to be able to garner the support no nai— to be able to garner the support he once had ? _ to be able to garner the support he once had ? uh,— to be able to garner the support he once had ? uh, i- to be able to garner the support he once had ? c." r:rir i he once had? uh, i do actually. and i think there will be further resignations. maybe not at the moment, but i think in the pipeline soon. um, and you know, i mean what people discuss aboutis know, i mean what people discuss about is getting rid of such a popular prime minister, you know, such a successful prime minister with no mandate. we, we've got a prime minister who was rejected two months before being forced out by mps on the
2:17 pm
nafion being forced out by mps on the nation . now it's under nation. now it's under democratic and it's a lack of democracy which is worrying people. and boris referred to the lack of democracy in this privileged committee. so i think he's been very hard done by and i think he will come back stronger. and actually, he's he's free and he's dangerous now, boris and i think he will be he'll be say some very interesting things. and i think sunakis interesting things. and i think sunak is on borrowed time as a result of this . that may well be result of this. that may well be be result of this. that may well be is was — result of this. that may well be is was .— result of this. that may well be is was . sir— result of this. that may well be be true . sirjohn,— that may well be be true . sirjohn, polling be true. sirjohn, polling expen— be true. sirjohn, polling expen .— be true. sirjohn, polling expen . ie— be true. sirjohn, polling expert , do you think there is expert, do you think there is a gap— expert, do you think there is a gap in_ expert, do you think there is a gap in rne— expert, do you think there is a gap in the market— expert, do you think there is a gap in the market for a new sentie— gap in the market for a new senrre rignr— gap in the market for a new centre right party? well, the ga— centre right party? well, the fast anar— centre right party? well, the fast in you — centre right party? well, the fact that you ask that question does— fact that you ask that question does reii— fact that you ask that question does reii yew— fact that you ask that question does tell you something about the does tell you something about are stare— does tell you something about are state or— does tell you something about the state of the— does tell you something about the state of the conservative party— the state of the conservative party ar— the state of the conservative rany ar rne— the state of the conservative party at the moment. /rirc. the state of the conservative party at the moment. v/rirc. party at the moment. you know, mr reinser— party at the moment. you know, mr johnson has certainly added fuel to the concerns that are already there. one car, mr sunak possibly win a general election to who is mr sunak determine to reduce the size of the state. although of course the growth in
2:18 pm
the size of the state, the growth in taxation, the growth in spending actually in public spending actually occurred johnson's occurred under mr johnson's watch. and thirdly , the concern watch. and thirdly, the concern that mr sunak is too willing to compromise with the european union over the future of brexit, and that although he voted leave , he's not necessarily a true believer. those arguments are certainly going on. but i think what one also has to realise is that if mr sunak is going to have a chance of winning the next general election, then actually what he is going to have to is going to have to do is he is going to have to do is he is going to have try to line in have to try to draw a line in voters minds between one boris johnson's administration and two liz truss, because at the end of the day, in the wake of partygate boris johnson's popularity , which is by the way, popularity, which is by the way, was always confined to those who voted leave. boris johnson was never a very popular prime minister he was very popular amongst those who voted leave. his success rested on his ability on persuading them to vote conservative. in 2019. but even amongst that group, his popularity fell away in the wake
2:19 pm
of partygate and of course, the liz truss fiscal event is something that plunged the conservatives into very deep electoral difficulty . mr sunak electoral difficulty. mr sunak has to persuade people he is a new administration and i think bods new administration and i think boris johnson being outside the house of commons, although it's going to cause difficulty in the short run, particularly with respect which respect by elections, which won't necessarily be easy to defend the longer run. defend in the longer run. perhaps it gives mr mr sunak a greater opportunity to distance himself from his two predecessors and david, just finally on that brexit question, what does this mean for brexiteers? is there a fear now anar— brexiteers? is there a fear now in win— brexiteers? is there a fear now that with boris— brexiteers? is there a fear now that with boris gone- fitiix c is there a fear now that with boris gone out of the peiirisai— that with boris gone out of the peiirisai game.— that with boris gone out of the political game, brexit could sen— political game, brexit could son or— political game, brexit could son or rais— political game, brexit could sort of fade away ambitions for making— sort of fade away ambitions for making rne— sort of fade away ambitions for making the most— sort of fade away ambitions for making the most of it, whatever anar— making the most of it, whatever rnar ieeis— making the most of it, whatever that looks like— making the most of it, whatever that looks like ,_ making the most of it, whatever that looks like , may fade away that looks like, may fade away ree — that looks like, may fade away ree wei— that looks like, may fade away ree weii. inn— that looks like, may fade away to? well, i'm very— that looks like, may fade away to? r: air: to? well, i'm very disappointed at what the government's been doing. i mean the retained eu law bill, which gets rid of a lot of excessive eu laws as that's been watered down almost to the point of not happening at
2:20 pm
all. the windsor agreement with northern ireland gives the eu a lot of power . northern ireland gives the eu a lot of power. i'm afraid this isn't a proper brexit government andifs isn't a proper brexit government and it's showing wrong. and the brexit. a lot of those brexit supporters have left and are not going to come back unless you get boris back. actually and they'll trust boris . and it's they'll trust boris. and it's very interesting what sir john says that, you know, he was never particularly popular. and i what partygate has done i think what partygate has done is actually those that is actually just those that always hated him have hate him even now. and. but you even more now. and. but you know, let's not let's not wipe out the fact that he is still very popular among some large numbers of the public and certainly the party. yeah he is. he is. certainly the party. yeah he is. heis.and certainly the party. yeah he is. he is. and there is a little bit of he is. and there is a little bit or nenr— he is. and there is a little bit of brexit derangement derangement syndrome sometimes that derangement syndrome sometimes rnar gees— derangement syndrome sometimes in gees inro— derangement syndrome sometimes that goes into boris— derangement syndrome sometimes that goes into boris derangement syndrome— that goes into boris derangement syndrome .— that goes into boris derangement syndrome . i— that goes into boris derangement syndrome . i think— that goes into boris derangement syndrome . i think that is fair syndrome. i think that is fair to syndrome. i think that is fair re say. — syndrome. i think that is fair re say. inani— syndrome. i think that is fair to say. thank you very much inieei— to say. thank you very much inieei ier— to say. thank you very much indeed for both— to say. thank you very much indeed for both of your time. rerner—rne- indeed for both of your time.- former_the european former member of the european iariianeni— parliament, david campbell bannerman and pollster and professor— bannerman and pollster and professor politics at the professor of politics at the iiniwersiry— professor of politics at the university strathclyde, sir university of strathclyde, sir renn —yea - university of strathclyde, siri ienn —yen wery john curtice, thank you very nwsn— john curtice, thank you very nwsnlyear— john curtice, thank you very much .your time- john curtice, thank you very much your time this sunday much for your time this sunday

2:52 pm
internal finance mess and the big questions of competency and propriety that have been raised and let's not forget humza yousaf was the sort of continuity candidate in the scottish national party internal election in their leadership election, he was seen to be the person who was closer to nicola sturgeon, closer to that regime that has now been rather well, that has now been rather well, that has now been rather well, that has had quite a lot of mud thrown at it, quite frankly . and thrown at it, quite frankly. and so there are questions in terms of whether the snp made the right choice in that leadership election, perhaps cleaner election, perhaps a cleaner break with the past would have been in been better for them in a political . what is clear political sense. what is clear is that there are big questions over how the snp has handled itself and no doubt political knock on effects from that. thank you very much indeed, knock on effects from that. - thank you very much indeed, tom harwood.— thank you very much indeed, tom narweei. oar— thank you very much indeed, tom harwood, our deputy political editor— harwood, our deputy political editor there, _ harwood, our deputy political editor there, bringing us the very— editor there, bringing us the wery iaresr— editor there, bringing us the very latest on— editor there, bringing us the very latest on what is an extra

2:57 pm
humza yousaf. the party itself is sort of falling apart without doubt even this. well, i mean certainly it's taken a lot of the efforts away from from the independence movement. i mean, i think as long as the— independence movement. i mean, i think as long as the snp— independence movement. i mean, i think as long as the snp can- think as long as the snp can noisi— think as long as the snp can not irseii— think as long as the snp can hold itself together, it will aiways— hold itself together, it will aiways pe — hold itself together, it will aiways is a— hold itself together, it will always be a party of independence . and the whole independence. and the whole point— independence. and the whole peinr rnere— independence. and the whole point there was— independence. and the whole point there was that because in sseriani— point there was that because in oseriani rney— point there was that because in scotland they voted to remain in the scotland they voted to remain in are iii.— scotland they voted to remain in are in. rnee— scotland they voted to remain in the eu, there is— scotland they voted to remain in the eu, there is a— scotland they voted to remain in the eu, there is a very good wny— the eu, there is a very good reason why they— the eu, there is a very good reason why they should now have anerner— reason why they should now have another independence referendum pease— another independence referendum because everything's changed sise— because everything's changed zon— because everything's changed since 2014 as— because everything's changed since 2014 as well. r:rir“ c since 2014 as well. i don't know about that, but i will remind viewers that we are we have break ing news today. nicola sturgeon has been arrested. this is in the investigation into the snp's finances. police scotland have said this. they have released this statement . this is released this statement. this is momentous. we've seen previously her husband taken in for questioning. we've seen various people will be accused of making well , essentially the party's
