in the past, you had characters like alistair campbell getting into the headlines but i think we candviser has become the story. that was always a mantra of some holders of that office. 0nce that was always a mantra of some holders of that office. once that became the case the position was untenable? but that has not been the case here. dominic cummings does not do things in a way that others have done. he does not abide by the normal protocols if you like that there are. he does not really... he is quite disdainful of westminster and the weight works as well. he does not follow those kind of things. in the past has comments outside his house, the way he has behaved, making no secret of the fa ct behaved, making no secret of the fact that he does not befriend cabinet—makers, he has not tried to make friends with mps. none of that. this is going to be a very strange event when he has this press conference but it's a real acknowledgement that it did not work yesterday. the prime minister unexpectedly taking that press conference opening to draw a line under orbit saying he had inspecte

this was in response to alistair carmichael, the liberal democrat mp, he was questioning whether it was2nd ofjune after the recess. do you think it is the most effective way to hold the government to account by being here physically? no, i don't think it is the most effective way. it is the case that things are a bit different now, but they are different for everybody in every workplace. in every workplace we are having to make pace changes. two things i'm hugely concerned about is the mps are shielding, who are ina about is the mps are shielding, who are in a medical category he means that they cannot or should not be... but it was said that there should be special arrangements and they are looking for rearrangements and reassu ra nces of looking for rearrangements and reassurances of that. he also contradicted himself on that when he spoke to gavin robinson about it. i am concerned that there is nothing in place for those mps. but is concerned think. the other issue is that for order for me to get the balance, i will have to travel about 450 miles. it is about a 12 hour car journey, t

alistair grant from the herald? thank you.s mcneill says the border with england should be policed if lockdown measures are lifted down south. he said for the good of both populations, the scottish border should be close to day—trippers. is there something you would agree with and is any policing presence at the border something scotland has considered if divergence occurs? i have not seen those comments, i've been, as you can imagine, a bit busy today. the chief constable was stood here on friday and explained the situation around the border. he used the example of different drink—drive limits that already exist north and south of the border. the police are perfectly used to policing in an appropriate way along the border. i would stress that i think although we have to wait and see, i would think in the detail of the positions between scotland and the rest of the uk as of tonight, the differences will be minor. obviously, we will see how things develop but all of us have to be guided by the evidence and we have to look at th

no no no whatever he told me he did nothing wrong i mean what if asli pardon me for interrupting alistair what if he does that quiz politician apology and basically says sorry if you think i did something wrong but he doesn't express sorry or contrition for actually having done something wrong doesn't that just give it more legs not fewer legs. well honestly the best thing about isn't this to me is not about how long this runs a story it's about the rights and wrongs of a government rightly in my view belatedly but rightly asking the country to go in to look and then the prime minister the person to whom it was so important to the prime minister the state his entire political life on his back at the moment he breaks those rules i'm going to be honest i don't care what the circumstances are i know people who've had really difficult challenging circumstances who stayed home who made sure that they got through it with whatever they had and this idea that he could only go to only the 60 miles across the country pretty other people risk and in so doing undermine fundamentally the basic message

operate you want to have go to running more more capacity more tubes more trains if we possibly can alistair campbell was former british prime minister tony blair's director of communications he says on top of his other errors in judgment farce johnson has set a dangerous precedent by supporting his advisor. you have the other day when this story 1st appeared about cummings and what he did or didn't mirror in the guardian broke the story within hours you had johnson city in number 10 at a time of national crisis and what was you doing all day funny or begging cabinet ministers to put out tweets and the like a bunch of nodding dogs they did they cut the cut and paste the tweets and it went out and said oh this is a father actually in the interest of his son and that's in part i think what is fueling this raging anger and you know the only reason i think what this lockdown might still hold me i think it's pretty close to cracking the reason it might still hold is because actually the public us the way more decent in these people so they understand there is actually a risk of going out and doin

let's turn to alistair. he represents tourism businesses right across the south—west region.you see the beginnings of a return to normality? well, the first thought would have been the same thought for thousands of businesses all across the south—west, that's may, june and possiblyjuly gone, which will be a hammer blow for those businesses, an absolute hammer blow and without more help many of them will not survive. as far as a road map, it doesn't have enough details to do any kind of real planning, so any business needs to know when it can start taking income. that is the top line on any spreadsheet that i have ever done and that number is now zero for another three months at least. that is going to be a really painful thing for most businesses to try to recover from. and you represent all kinds of tourism businesses here. what sort of questions do you think they will have? because that is a range of different places, from open air attractions to hotels like nick nikki. from open air attractions to hotels like nikki. we have been trying to lobby for what we call a non—secto

i will call alistair carmichael, who has asked to speak, for no more than two minutes.. mr speaker, this is also blind to the inadequacies. like many members, i find it stilted and artificial. but if this is a choice between that and the safety of members of this house. then there is no trace at all and should only be safe to do so. and so for all members. not just should only be safe to do so. and so for all members. notjust those who live within driving distance. as weeks made yesterday, the house of commons has supported local. if the leader is really satisfied that we can bring in to the 2nd ofjune while charging a duty of care towards them, are we then able to return to work? without risk to themselves or which they live with. it is widely reported that the motivation for this is to get the support behind the prime minister by wednesday afternoon. it is even reported to be with the leader yesterday, that there is to get more mps into they should be really support remembers. someone has a receipt told them how things are supposed to be done for some mr speaker, we h

mr blair hugely dependent on alistair campbell but at the end of the day he had today.as mps gather to debate a bill that would criminalise insulting china‘s national anthem. more than 200 people have been arrested by riot police as demonstrators gather in the central commercial district and in shopping areas. this was the scene in hong kong‘s commercial district a little earlier when police attempted to disperse demonstrators. pro—democracy activists have also voiced their opposition to separate legislation which would impose a sweeping national security law on the semi—autonomous territory. our correspondent martin yip in hong kong explained the background to the controversy surrounding the chinese national anthem. it‘s pretty much about people thinking that this whole piece of law would bar them from expressing their discontent with governors in some ways, such as making parodies of the national anthem orjust booing at the national anthem. because back in 2017 when beijing made the national anthem law, and put it into what we call annex iii of the basic law of hong k

alistair, mps, some coming out and criticising openly dominic cummings, some as we have just heard supporting‘s statement the day before, the contradictions with the statement yesterday, johnson said that both of them were coming down with coronavirus. cummings couldn admits that because he went home and then went back to downing street, thereby if he had got coronavirus, putting other people at risk of infection. what you are seeing today, with these sort of cabinet ministers coming out to retreat —— to read out these ridiculous scripts they‘ve been given, the story is unravelling. all of the people that have been falling into the radio stations i have been talking to saying, please document something else? i wish we were. a crisis like this needs to be prime minister and cabinet to be focusing on nothing else but getting the job done and every single one of them, literally the whole cabinet, the whole government, the whole government machine has been mobilised to try and save dominic. it is the most pathetic and craven act that i think we have ever had in our history. there are plenty peopl

the allegation is that it was at the ritz that alistair, one of sir david's sons, planted or was seena high handling this listening device and at a high court hearing on the 6th of may, explosive allegations of commercial espionage on a vast scale we re commercial espionage on a vast scale were made in documents lodged in the court by sir frederick and his daughter, amanda. they allege that this bug captured over 1000 conversations amounting to some 9a hours of recordings, and that a second bug was provided by quest global, a private investigation firm. its chairman is the former met commissioner, lord stevens. the allegations could not be more serious in terms of the espionage involved in this business and financial dispute, and the most serious allegation made by sir frederick in these documents is that the ritz hotel was sold for half of its true value. he said that conversations were captured between him and an organisation that had made a bid for a £1.3 billion for the ritz but in spite of that, his three nephews, who have a controlling interest in the family trust, sold the hote
