becomes the person who heads the party in power, but since it is a conservative party for the last 12 years, they voted accordingly to elect the leader and the new prime minister in this party, but it did not happen in one day. it was a whole process. at the beginning, there were eight candidates. the parliament until there were two finalists left, then their candidacies were put to a vote by the rank-and-file members of the party, and the elections were held last friday, but the results were announced only today, lystras's opponent in the last stage was in the river sudak is the former minister of finance, and it is actually interesting that even though listras was officially announced today as the winner in the elections for the head of the conservative party a, accordingly, she did not formally become the prime minister, but boris johnson remains the prime minister, because this her appointment must first be signed by the queen, it must take place on september 6, i.e. tomorrow. well, actually in britain, the queen appoints the prime minister, because this is her majesty's governmen

i see a very big political divide because you've got the conservative party now saying the future of ere the rich get richer and we offer nothing meaningful to working people. you've got the labour party saying we do need to grow our economy, that's been the single biggest failure of the last 12 years of this tory government, but we need to recognise who grows this economy. developing green energy is key to labour's long—term strategy, but what about the government's plan for tax cuts now? sir keir said scrapping the 45p top rate of income tax was wrong. it is hugely risky, it's hugely divisive and i would reverse it. and would you support the government cutting the basic rate of income tax from from 20p down to 19p? yes, i've long made the argument that we should reduce the tax burden on working people. but not everyone here agrees with all of that and, this morning, labour's mayor for greater manchester, andy burnham, said the basic rate of income tax should be kept where it is. tax is now a major battleground in politics, and this morning the conservative chancellor suggested he wa

correspondent: if she governs as she prised it will mean the conservative party is very much to the rightnter, but it will be the party of small state and low taxes. but a lot of people have do is point out perhaps a bit like the primaries in the united states where it is one thing to win the presidential nominion of your party, you have to go to the right if you're republican and to the left when you are a democrat. when it comes to governing perhaps she will not govern so much from the right. i am not so sure about that. she has made a lot of promises to the conrvative party particularly on taking a tough line on the european union when it comes to brexit. it will be difficult for her to attack back to the sender, but maybe she will. anchor: thank you so much for breaking that down. the fbi recovered more than 11,000 government documents and photographs it during the search of donald trump's home in florida last month according to court documents de public today. the details come after president biden warned that donald trump and some of his supporters threatened democracy. speaking 2 m

folly: what about her ability to reunite the conservative party? rod: well, this will be the question. her cabinet, i would suggest, is not being designed to reach out to her critics. she has been promoting people who are supporters, primarily from the right wing of the party. her job will be to secure a broad coalition within the parliamentary party. she landed a punch or two on cure storm or -- on kier starme r. the question will be, will she be able to keep that going in the face of a seriously perilous electoral situation? folly: lydia, this seems to be high on the agenda for her, at least her foreign policy will be focused on boosting the british economy. do you expect any changes diverging from boris johnson's government on china for example? what changes do you expect to see, or do you expect continuity? trading partners. lydia: i have not seen an enormous amount of rumored intel on that front. i think the jury is out to see what she does. but to go back to the previous point, will she be able to unite the conservative party, from an economi

and conservative party members don't necessarily reflect the wider electorate. fact, a 20 18 study found that 97% of party members, conservative party members, were white, vast majority male, the vast majority over the age of 55, this represents in total less than half of 1% of the overall uk electorate. it is important to point out that the other major parties don't really fare all that differently. they're also majority white, also more than 95% white and pretty wealthy as well. now, if you believe the polls, liz truss is very likely to become the prime minister tomorrow. the political talk shows in this country are already talking about her as if she was the favorite. she was asked about that this morning on the bbc and she downplayed the fact that she is expected to become prime minister, but says that nevertheless, she is ready. as for boris johnson, well, the two are going to be flying to scotland, very likely, boris johnson and liz truss will be flying to scotland on tuesday for the queen to officially ask liz truss to form the government, assuming she wi

in total, about 200,000 members of the conservative party took part in the postal elections. result of the election became known only today. from now on, the government will be headed by ried strauss. in total, eight candidates applied for the highest office. and the two leaders of the race, the former chancellor of the treasury rishi sunok and the head of the ministry of foreign affairs lystras, reached the last decisive round according to according to the polls, it was the track forest that was the main contender for victory, the three main reasons for supporting the track were cited by the respondents as not the prism of sonaka, trust in the tracks and her loyalty to boris johnson, soon queen elizabeth will officially appoint the track forest to positions, and soon the new head of government will begin the formation of the cabinet of ministers and more before her victory in the elections, listraz promised to continue the policy of active support of ukraine and our army, which was started when prime minister beard johnson. became one of the most reliable and important allie

it will be incumbent upon her, i think, to try early on to bring the different wings of the conservative party back together there is nothing quite like the threat of a snap election, i think, to stiffen issues to put a pencil into the spine of many of the conservative mps. ultimately, joumanna, the sanction at the end of the day is they have to fight again for their jobs i don't think too many of them want to do that. hopefully there will be an element of goodwill that emerges in the early days of new new premiership. it is incumbent, i say, on liz truss, if she is duly voted in by the conservative membership it is upon her, i think, to try to build bridges i think many of those conservative mps will also have to reach out as well because at the end of the day none of them wants to lose their job. that potentially is in prospect if they make life too difficult for her. >> nothing like the threat of losing your job to keep you in had line, geoff. thank you. we'll be back with geoff at 12:30 for the special uk announcement to come this afternoon. >>> let's get back out to steve. from one politi

thank you for putting your faith in me to lead our great conservative party, the greatest political party will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. i will deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long—term issues we have on energy supply. and she concluded with the mantra her campaign began with. we will deliver, we will deliver, we will deliver. and we... and we will deliver a great victory for the conservative party in 202a. thank you. elation, smiles, and success, the crowning moment of her political career, liz truss will be prime minister tomorrow, and then confronted with an in—tray from hell. the question for her party, and for the country, will she be up to it? i think she'll be an absolutely fantastic prime minister, so, yeah, i'm really, really pleased. bluntly, it's a tough time to become prime minister. we have some huge challenges — we have, still, the covid backlog situation to deal with, the economic shocks that we're going through now, in part because of our stance we've taken on ukraine, and many other c

so undecided could also reach out to some of the conservative parties, but those parties were running their campaigns to replace and us. and so any talks there would be very difficult. so as you can see, it is difficult. it is going to be difficult and take time to form a stable government in sweden and government talks aside. how do you explain the surgeon support for the far right sweden democrats. the sweden democrats entered the parliament for the very 1st time in 2010. and since then, they have been growing and i think that now they were able to tap into the social moods in sweden width and some sweets saying that they are not ready anymore to bear the coast for the country. generous refugee policies they, they want the government to correct down on crime. and we have seen a spike white in ganged violence here recently. so this sweden, democrats with their hard line on immigration and why they were able to tap into their moods. and in addition, the problem is that some conservative parties started to show that they are willing to deal with the sweden democrats that were treated a

democracy with a capital d. 2 years later though, trusts had switched her allegiance to the conservative party. in 2010, she was elected to parliament. and now she is regarded as a leading figure in the parties, right? wink, it means that this is somebody who's really got a political message that they haven't just inherited. they're not just pirating because it's what their parents told them to think they thought about and come to conclusions themselves. i respect that she's and did herself to party members by being comparative and hawkish on international issues and unabashedly patriotic stationed on the ukrainian border. comparisons with former prime minister margaret thatcher had been marked on social media, but seemed deliberately cultivated entrust meteor appearances. questions persists about live stresses political judgments and her convictions ahead of the breaks that referendum she campaign for britain to remain in the european union. but when the u. k voted to leave, she suddenly became a staunch supporter of breck sit. and i've been other examples from this summer's leadership contes

the conservative parties have traditionally struggled to do well. talk about that comment from nigel adams. let's hear what the opposition has said. here is the leader of the opposition. >> we have heard far more from the latest prime minister about cuts to corporation tax over the summer then the cost-of-living crisis, the single most impoant thing that is bearing on households. this shows not only she is out of touch but she is not on the side of working people so she needs to do -- feel with the cost-of-living crisis and she needs to deal with collapse of law and order. russ: there is the leader of the opposition. let's have a look at some of the challenges facing liz truss and in particular, what will happen in the next few days as she tells us how she will take on the challenges. board johnson will make his final address as prime minister and then he will head to scotland where he will see the queen and tend to his resignation. liz truss will arrive to see the queen and will become the 15 prime minister to be invited to rm a government by queen

it's up to the conservative party. - in future? it's up to thei conservative party. the in future?e way the constitution works is we say the person who leaves a political party which secured a majority in parliament gets to choose their leader and they can do that in whatever way they choose but the conservative party may want to reflect on whether this has been good for their reputation and whether they would at least want to reduce the amount of time they have had hustings and allowed the membership of the party to take a view but perhaps they might also decide it would be a more democratic to go back to a situation where mps have at least one electoral mandate from the people, having been elected to parliament, and go back to a situation where they choose the next leader of the party.— leader of the party. thank you, doctor hannah _ leader of the party. thank you, doctor hannah white. - supporters of extinction rebellion have entered the house of commons debating chamber and superglued themselves around the speaker's chair, according to the group's twitter account. they posted t

what about her ability to reunite the conservative party? well, this would be the question. the cabinets. not always. yes, been designed to reach out to critics. she's very much being promoting people who kind of strong this quarter from primarily they have the right thing of the party. her job will be to kind of secure a broad coalition within the elementary policy. i think at 1st a parents in parliament did that to an extent. she landed a punch or 2 own kids. sama, the question will be once you get into the 1st couple of weeks, couple of months of payments. it. will she be able to keep that going in the face of a seriously perilous electoral situation? not always the special days in libya, as you talked about. and this really seems to be high on the agenda for her, at least reporting for foreign policy vision. it seems will be focused on boosting the british economy, right, as he said, so do you, do you then expect any changes diverging from boys johnson government at all on china? for example, we've got quasi quite staying as a new chancellor. what changes do you expect t
