i'm sure we will be hearing from alan duncan in more detail later on.frankly, idon't party should fall in line behind him. frankly, i don't think there is much chance of that happening. we are starting to see signals that if borisjohnson does win will face a tough task to keep his own party line. backbenchers have made life very difficult for theresa may, those who are staunchly opposed to eight no—deal brexit under any circumstances, are set, i think, to make life difficult for boris johnson. sir alan duncan will be one of those, he did not mention boris johnson back nine in his resignation letter. he has made it clear that he has no fan of brexit at all, calling ita has no fan of brexit at all, calling it a dark cloud. also describing himself as being deeply upset about some of the fruitful discussions he had about the possible release of nazanin cigarette with being brought to an abrupt halt. he has been critical of borisjohnson, describing himself as a looper skipper. and throwing sir kim darroch under the bus after leaked e—mails came to light. the

of alan duncan, that is ahead of boris johnson even form of alan duncan, that is ahead of borisjohnsonve premiership. i think it is ha rd to divisive premiership. i think it is hard to see borisjohnson being someone who has a mass support any parliamentary party. there are mps who are critical of borisjohnson, who are critical of borisjohnson, who want to give him a chance to let him begin and see what he wants to do. but i think if you look at his brexit strategy, it was a strategy that make it as a strategy that means it will have a lot of opponents in the tory party because he is pushing first for a renegotiated deal but if that fails, it is no deal and i think what eve ryo ne it is no deal and i think what everyone is going to be looking for is, what exactly is he seeking to change only brexit deal? is it a new deal entirely? lots of yard brexiteers and the research group are hoping. if it is a small change, that increases the chance of a no deal which would be particularly divisive to a lot of the current cabinet ministers. thank you for being with us. we are expecting several res

that is what alan duncan was referring to and some others have. is he the right man to negotiate?ting thing. borisjohnson is a politician. when he was the mayor of london, he was described as the heineken candidate. the candidate who could reach the parts of britain for a conservative that others could not reach. to a large extent, because he has got involved in brexit, he has become a bit of a marmite candidate, to use another brand. you either really like boris 01’ brand. you either really like boris or you don't. he is going to face that challenge in the country and is also clearly, absolutely, facing that challenge in the house of commons. the new leader of the liberal democrat party, jo swinson, as the youngest leader they have ever had, 39, she says she is a prime minister in waiting, a rallying cry for all those who want to stay in europe. our first party leader in britain to be born in the 19805. leader in britain to be born in the 1980s. we are moving to yet another generation and listening to her yesterday, a very strong message, a very tub thumping speech. absolutely pl

sir alan duncan?a foreign office minister in protest at the prospect of a borisjohnson government, very much like philip hammond yesterday who signalled he will quit ahead of mrjohnson taking up will quit ahead of mrjohnson taking up his post because both men cannot stomach the prospect of no deal which they believe borisjohnson is now leading the country towards. so we are beginning to see forming the basis if you like of a tory opposition to borisjohnson on the backbenches. we saw a little bit last week when we had a0 tory mps voting against or abstaining to try and thwart any moves to suspend parliament. now alan duncan has decided no point hanging around. in some ways not surprising, he's a lwa ys some ways not surprising, he's always been one of the most ferocious critics of borisjohnson, describing himself once as boris johnson is pooper scooper, by that he meant he had to clear up all the mess borisjohnson he meant he had to clear up all the mess boris johnson made he meant he had to clear up a

alan duncan has gone, norman, what else is going on?— boris johnson, quit, saying i cannot put up with alan —— borisjohnson, i do not want to leave the eu without a deal, i'm out of here. what else is happening? for pm we will get the result of the ballot to choose a new liberal democrat leader, it could bejoe swinson, it could be ed davey, signs are it'll be a close race. 5pm we will get the close of pallets for the tory leadership. the four weak leadership contest will come to a close, we won't actually get the result until tomorrow morning. 12 noon tomorrow mrs may ‘s farewell, herfinal minister noon tomorrow mrs may ‘s farewell, her final minister questions in the house of commons, then she will go to buckingham palace and tender her resignation. later tomorrow afternoon i'm guessing around 5pm outside downing street we will get the new prime minister setting out his vision for the future, most likely of course, that it's going to be borisjohnson. likely of course, that it's going to be boris johnson. i likely of course, that it's g

it comes as sir alan duncan quits as a foreign office minister in protest over a possible boris johnson victory. jo swinson is named as the first female leader of the liberal democrats, beating sir ed davey. you have put your trust in me, not only to lead our party but to lead and grow a bigger, open, liberal movement which our country so desperately needs. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, says the uk will form a european led maritime mission to counter iran's ‘piracy‘, after their seizure of a british registered tanker. get your suncream ready, this week is set to be the hottest weather of the summer so far. temperatures rising into the mid 30s in some parts of the country. and motsi mabuse has been confirmed as the newjudge dame darcy bussell on ‘strictly come dancing'. good evening and welcome to bbc news. he accused some of the uk's highest ranking public figures of child abuse, torture, even murder. but today carl beech was found guilty of making it all up. a convicted paedophile himself, beech had said he was sexually abused in the ‘70s and ‘80s and pointed the finger at, among

this is particularly sensitive, serious and what sir alan duncan said about the enquiry being launched, then, yes, the police could be involved. the most important focus is to establish who is responsible for this despicable leak. there is a lot of speculation about who might be behind all of this and we might find out who it is. even if there is a senior minister, because these lea ks, senior minister, because these leaks, the senior minister, because these lea ks, the documents senior minister, because these leaks, the documents they have go back two years so it is someone who had back two years so it is someone who ha d a ccess back two years so it is someone who had access to them right up until a couple of weeks ago, so in the house of commons it was interesting that it was not —— there was not unanimous support for sir kim darroch. people like bill cash, the eurosceptic tory mp, said he should not be in the post because he said he isa not be in the post because he said he is a europhile, against brexit, against donald trump and are not impartial. there was a lot of booing and sho

sur alan duncan, somebody in that country thinks at the time.mebody in that country thinks at the time. sur alan duncan, who was responding for the government today in the commons, was saying that there's obviously a lot more in them. there's things more complimentary about the white house et cetera, and the fact that donald trump has chosen to react in this way almost seems like he's missed an opportunity to get angry about it in fa ct. opportunity to get angry about it in fact. how often do these leak enquiries actually get anywhere, that would be the question i would ask, and the... not very often would be your suspicion. david made the point about the dilemma about who succeeds theresa may. clearly if the president does not deal with sir kim darroch, that's a problem, so what do you do? it renders our man in washington important effectively, but you don't want to be seen to be kowtowing to the bullying of donald trump in this context. it's not a case of dealing with a bully... exactly. he's quite open about the fact... i do not know the amba

sir alan duncan, showing that diplomacy isn't confined to the diplomatic service.use of lords — well, up to a point. the lord speaker guides and assists the lords rather than managing it. he has no power to call members to order or decide who speaks next in a self—regulating house. but we are now seeing and hearing more of lord fowler and his deputies as they explain what's going on. i asked norman fowler what's the problem he's trying to fix. oh, the problem is quite simple. what we are trying to do is to make the house of lords is accessible and as understandable as possible. and, as you know, it's notjust for those watching from the gallery, it's for those watching from outside. bbc parliament. i mean, you have something like approaching two million viewers a month. well, at times, one wonders whether they actually understand what is happening, not because of them but because of us, we don't actually explain it. we don't say this is going to be a private notice question on, shall we say, events in syria. it is simply not set out for them. so, that's the number o

this time, sir alan duncan has resigned as minister of state for europe and the americas ahead of borisjohnsonhas previously voiced his opposition tojohnson and his departure is the first of a string of mooted resignations, as ministers opt to step down instead of serving under mrjohnson. the guardian has this picture of a smiling jo swinson as she is elected as the new leader of the lib dems, the first female leader of that party and she's only 39! now onto the financial times. it leads onjeremy hunt's calls for european allies to lead a new maritime alliance to protect commercial ships sailing through the strait of hormuz. the foreign secretary's comments come after iran seized a british—flagged tanker in the gulf, amid growing tensions between the west and tehran.

what do you then make of people like philip hammond and alan duncan, senior ministers saying that theyrk ina ministers saying that they will not work in a cabinet under boris johnson? do you think that was an overreaction or do you think they have done the right thing? boris johnson has made a specific point which is to say that unless you are prepared to countenance no deal you cannot serve in my cabinet. what will be very interesting is if he gets towards october 31 and realises he will not get it through and calls an election... he might make it a coup where you he says you can only stand as a member of the conservative party for election if you are prepared to say no deal, if you are prepared to say no deal, if you are prepared to say no deal, if you are prepared to push through no deal. then there would be a swathes of people who would have to stand on that ticket who do not necessarily believe it is the right thing to do. it is one thing to say you will not sit in the cabinet and to take the time out on the back bench and wait until the position changes which, it will do in due c

there will be others like alan duncan and various other people who will follow as well but they are notbinet ministers. what i find fascinating is that there is no question that the countries in the mood that if we are going to brexit, could you please get on with it. but you don't do it all cost and so right, that is the date, we are out of you. there has to be some deliberation, one can only hope that we haven't had this. this hiatus for the last three weeks people have been sitting there whistling and thinking, christmas night, let's get on with the 23rd ofjuly, i hope they have some planning in place because we certainly don't know about it. european union appears to be not very interested in what anybody has to say, away the withdrawal agreement. one can hope that there is a new personnel there that there is a new personnel there that will bring in the best in people, whether going to see the home secretary, stephen barclay, will he still be the abraxas secretary, or will he still be the abraxas secretary, oi’ someone will he still be the abraxas secretary, or someone else will he

alan duncan was saying to your channel just earlier him.ange the outcome of the race? i really doubt it. so alan duncan talked on the bbc news channel short while ago. let's hear what he said. i'm upset and angry. i think we have lost a supreme diplomat who was serving the interests of this country extremely well. he has behaved with enormous dignity in the face of a very unfair and unacceptable onslaught and i think he decided himself for the good of the country. it's a great pity that he did. i would like to pay enormous tribute to the quality and dignity and the integrity of a truly excellent public servant. what you make of the suggestion he was watching the leadership contest last night and the failure of boris johnson to give him support and that was the crunch moment when he made his decision? whether that's what triggered it i don't know but i do know is that boris johnson, triggered it i don't know but i do know is that borisjohnson, a former foreign secretary at and he hopes to be the future prime minister, has basically thrown ou

the quote alan duncan who has been quite outspoken about what he sees a porousjohnson's role in kim darroch'sre are many people who dislike porousjohnson but there are many people who dislike porous johnson but even for those guys, they look at him and they say lam not guys, they look at him and they say i am not quite at that level. but it isa very i am not quite at that level. but it is a very explosive quote but more importantly, what this is done, it does not matter if they have already voted, it is boris if he becomes prime minister in today's time. they'll say, we need to unify around oui’ they'll say, we need to unify around our next prime his disposition, his judgement under fire, his ability to actually do the job prime minister, andi actually do the job prime minister, and i think i cannot imagine a worse way for these last ten days of the contest to have gone for boris johnson. you make an interesting observation, but the idea that those who voted will have done so already. this is the generation that does everything the night before. they will of voted on saturday, not quite sure

sensitivity and balance that sir alan duncan was calling for?lan duncan was calling for? i think the prime minister elect will decide who he wants in his top team, is not for me to advise him on that. you must have a thought on what would be the best way forward in terms of the make up of the cabinet, the sort of town that would set? as boris johnson tries to unite parliament, unite the country. i think of unity and at the party and the county will be very important, but the way you do that is to first deliver on brexit but the 31st of october. i expect he will have people on his tea m expect he will have people on his team who are committed to making sure that we leave the eu by the 3ist sure that we leave the eu by the 31st of october. as i said, we are all speculating, we'lljust have to wait. i think everything will become clear in the next 24 hours. what do you make of the apparent appointment of dominic cummings, former director of dominic cummings, former director of vote leave, as a senior adviser to mrjohnson. that will be a pretty devic

in his resignation letter alan duncan said it was "tragic" theresa may's government had been dominatedrexit". theresa may is expected to resign on wednesday, and a new government will be formed, but matt dathan at the sun points out: the new government that takes over from theresa may has another problem — like it needed more — a tiny majority in parliament after the conservative mp for dover, charlie elphicke, was charged with three counts of sexual assault on two women. he will now sit as an independent mp after being suspended from the conservative party. there is also a by—election coming up for the seat of this man, chris davies, who is having to campaign to stay mp for brecon and radnorshire after being convicted of making false expenses claims. former chancellor george osborne predicts: we'll have to see if he turns out to be right about that. nick eardley is in westminster. my my goodness, what a mess. when it comes to tomorrow, there will be a big upset if borisjohnson wasn't named as the victor. absolutely. all the conversations around here today are about what boris johnson'

lots of pro-eu ministers we are expecting to walk out, that's what the story is getting at, and alan duncanquit the government today pre—emptively, so i think it touches on this flood of resignations we expect. the conservative party is divided on brexit and has been for some time. by brexit and has been for some time. by having borisjohnson as prime minister, it almost flips, so it becomes about what was the awkward squad of brexiteers who didn't want to vote for anything theresa may did suddenly become, in theory, the new prime minister's loyal supporters, and you have because like philip hammond, current chancellor, and andrew marshall said he would quit on wednesday before borisjohnson ta kes on wednesday before borisjohnson takes power, moving to become the new awkward squad. they have been nicknamed the david cork awkward squad, because he is expected to be one of those to resign. one thing talked about today was the idea that in the commons there would be a vote this week to show whether or not borisjohnson could this week to show whether or not boris johnson could command this week

sir alan duncan with his own no—holds—barred assessment there.tine surgery have risen up to 50% in england because senior doctors say they cannot afford to work extra shifts. consultants have begun refusing to work beyond their planned hours after receiving unexpected tax bills, following new pension rules in 2016. the change has meant consultants who earn more than £110,000 a year face new limits on how much they can contribute to their pension. a conservative asked an urgent question. can we imagine the conversation between couples along the lines of, "so you're leaving me the children again this "weekend to go voluntarily to work to make our family worse off?" it's not going to happen, is it? the same applies to gps, many of whom are now doing less sessions each week than they want to, and patients desperately need, in order not to be made worse off by reaching their annual pension allowance. is there a fundamental distinction between how do we deal with those issues in the nhs, which the health secretary is very much leading on, and the broad

sir alan duncan didn't directly refer to borisjohnson but did welcome the response from labour mps.ency with all those across the whole country here who have supported officials when they are under attack is something for which i, personally, am very grateful. and when i spoke to sir kim yesterday, so is he. and he asked me to pass on to the entire house his gratitude. while the failure of the former foreign secretary to leap to the defence of sir kim shows a lack of leadership that is lamentable, is not the priority now to restore the shattered confidence of our diplomatic corps? and is not the best way to do that to identify the miserable perpetrator of this act and then to see them charged with a criminal offense? my honourable friend is absolutely right about the leaking. i really hope that we find who did this and that their name and the consequences of what they did really become very, very clear indeed. there are many guilty parties in this affair who should be hanging their heads in shame. firstly, whoever was responsible for leaking the memos, then donald trump and his ridi

ahead of the announcement, the foreign office minister, sir alan duncan, resigned from the governmentwestminster, here is our political editor laura kuenssberg. i've just voted for boris johnson to be the next prime minister. the envelopes should all have arrived... well, this is it. i'm about to post my vote for borisjohnson. ..crosses in the box put by tory members... i felt that it would only be right to vote forjeremy hunt. ..that will decide who the prime minister is, for all of us. eitherjeremy hunt, who has struggled to keep pace, or borisjohnson, the frontrunner, will become the next tory leader. but, even before he has won, some ministers have quit because they wouldn't serve him. reporter: why have you decided to resign? you'll see my resignation letter in a minute. even one of them who worked alongside him at the foreign office. i have very grave concerns that he, you know, flies by the seat of his pants, and it's all a bit sort of haphazard and ramshackle. but there's no personal animosity of any sort. ijust think he's going to go smack into a crisis of government. sir ala

alan duncan resigning as foreign office minister and others are saying they are poised to do the sameip hammond, david gauke, rory stewart. so the new prime minister faces just as many problems, perhaps even more problems, getting a deal through parliament, as theresa may did. the first thing i'm expecting is to hear whether or not boris plans to go to european capitals to brussels, and start renegotiating as fast as possible. he has played a campaign which suggests he is going to have a very tough line with europe and we are hearing in today's newspapers as much about him wanting to actually start discussions or actually being very, very standoffish. hopefully we will find out which starts he is going to take —— stance. the essential problem remains. the problem you are pointing to, that a lot of people in that welding, including members of his own party, and former colleagues around the cabinet table, i determined to stop a no—deal brexit. they may make his life incredibly difficult. —— are determined. there may well be a lot of well—known faces on the tory backbench to make it thei

alan duncan. but it does matter because his authority is question even before he takes over. reasons, he would only have been elected by a relatively small section of the population, the party membership so he has not had the endorsement of the country as a whole and it is clear that he does not have the whole of his party behind him. whereas most new leaders have a relatively reasonable period of time when the parties unite behind them, says all the right things, agrees to work together and have a bit of a political honeymoon but boris johnson will not have that. people will refuse to work with the right from day one and he will have to prove himself and prove that somehow oi’ prove himself and prove that somehow or another he can get what he wants through parliament which clearly does not have anything approaching a majority for a new deal brexit which he wants to pursue. it be a very bumpy few weeks months.“ he wants to pursue. it be a very bumpy few weeks months. if he doesn't win, what margin of victory would be acceptable for him was make anything below 60% will be seen

she has resigned after alan duncan resigned, mark james resigned she has resigned after alan duncan resigned david gauke. congratulations to boris johnson on being david gauke. congratulations to borisjohnson on being elected leader and prime minister and an honour to serve in the cabinet. look forward to returning to backbenches tomorrow. this indicates the scale of the challenge for borisjohnson however optimistic he is. of course, remember people walking out the cabinet to serve on the back bank benches because they will not abide, it isa benches because they will not abide, it is a bad look for any leader and a catastrophic for one with a majority of two. everyone of these people, they are suddenly hugely powerful. their votes go the wrong way, his government falls and he knows that. i think he will tack. it is interesting to hear people saying the rhetoric will change on brexit. that is right. the borisjohnson prime minister we see will be more measured. he talked in a one-nation tory style of his speech. we will show you a bit of that in a moment. let's go back to what he talked about

as you know, we had a resignation yesterday, alan duncan, even alan wanting an emergency debate in parliamentmembers voting leader of the tory party and alan is a conservative association member, his members would have voted as well. they are equal. and to try and trip him up before he gets across the door is bizarre. you are a former deputy speaker, when john bercow looks at this proposal and there are those telling him that would place the queen in a rather difficult position. i think it was out of scope of everything yesterday. i thought the speaker used hisjudgement yesterday. i thought the speaker used his judgement wisely insane, no, this is not going to happen. he doesn‘t need to explain why, he just looks at it and all sorts of considerations would have gone through his mind but i think he made the right decision. let's talk about this morning, at what point will jeremy hunt in borisjohnson be told the result, before we know, presumably? as i understand it, cheryl has the form, the envelope from the electoral reform society, she will not open it straight away, she will not open it str

sense soul searching here in britain we've heard from no less than a minister at the foreign office alan duncan a serving minister. accusing boris johnson the former foreign secretary of throwing him directly under the bus why did he say that because there's a lot of speculation that kim derek was reacting specifically specifically to the televised debate between boris johnson and the current foreign secretary jeremy hunt on television on tuesday night they are both competing to lead the conservative party and to become the next prime minister and the labor party similarly has said that if in fact compare it was reacting to the words of boris johnson who was seen not to back up keep derek then it would show that he was if he were in power would be america's patsy clearly there was a difference in tone between the 2 conservative rivals let's have a listen. it is vital that our civil service is not politicized by by ministers leaking what they say when he says whoever's job whoever whoever leaked that deserves to be created. who chooses our ambassadors is a matter for the united kingdom governmen
