this is just a failure of boris johnson. >> boris johnson was never in his him. if you compare him to tony blair or margaret thatcher, johnson had no coherent agenda, no serious thinkers around him, no intellectual framework for what is allies call the project. that project was essentially boris johnson the man and a few policies attached to him. that really explains how quickly it all came rushing down and why. there was no coherent long-term plan in place even during the last hours of the crisis. he was marching around trying to find tax cuts and policies he could offer people. that is how it all came down. i think now, the conservative party are going to have to ask themselves a very serious question which is what kind of party did they want to be in the midst of the most -- that question is already a difficult one. >> is this a failure of boris johnson and was there even a boris johnsonism? >> there was never a coherence to his ideology. i think he is a standard conservative. i think he wanted to keep public spending under control. the pandemic and what the c

boris johnson isn't going anywhere. more than 50 lawmakers now in his government have stepped down including several just in the last few hours. discontent over his leadership intensified of course last week with this latest scandal engulfing the government despite the mounting pressure the prime minister says that he will stay in power. this is the last we heard from him. >> frankly, mr. speaker, the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances when you've been handed a colossal mandate is to keep going and that is what i'm going to do. >> so close ally was also part of the cabinet grouping. how can boris johnson respond to him? he fired him. sources say michael gove has urged to accept that his time was up. and we've also learned that cabinet members went to downing street to ask johnson to resign. and that is what zawahi was talking about. and this is after difficult questions not just in the prime minister question session but also a parliamentary committee. >> this is all about you in the end. the reason thes

>> reporter: certainly in the interest of boris johnson. whoever you speak to in the party, his fiercest critic who says boris johnson has a self-interest which borders on sociopathy or those who acknowledge his entire political career has been about his personality, he loves to be the center of attention and coveted the role of prime minister, he will not want to vacate that role any earlier than he has to. but as nic was saying and i would corroborate what nic is seeing at downing street, i heard that statement will be coming in the next half hour and it is stunningly brazen to see the prime minister making appointments like his new education secretary, within the hour that he's going to make a resignation statement. it does add fuel to the concerns that many members of parliament have that he will continue with agenda, wanting to consolidate whatever legacy he desires to have, and i'm sure that the prime minister in a speech that we're about to hear will also be leaning in to the war in ukraine, because what we have witnessed over the la

we lost the welsh sector for briefing the press about boris johnson he should resign boris johnson has lost a number of support within his party. we saw the prime minister questioned yesterday where several members of the back bench mps saying it was time to resign more importantly, brian, the man who is the treasury secretary. he was put in the role two days before and then said today actually he believed that the prime minister boris johnson should resign. they were to announce a new economic policy next week. this made boris johnson's position untenable it seems for the second time in the last three years, i'm standing here where this will be polled out as we saw with theresa may. boris johnson is about to resign in the next few minutes and hours. >> i know the reports are still just that. reports, steve assuming they are report, you have sky and the ft and many sources saying it. assuming they are correct and boris johnson today, anytime now, in the next hour, as you said, he will announce he's stepping down. is it because of the covid lockdown scandals or energy stocks or inflatio

it's time to show boris the door.hs about chris pincher emerged, it was time for some cabinet ministers to strike. rishi sunak is no longer chancellor, suggesting borisjohnson isn't competent or serious. while sajid javid resigns from health, questioning the prime minister's integrity. i got my resignation letter ready, i signed it, but i wasn't going to tell anyone other than the prime minister first. i went to see him, and he was in parliament, in his office there. and i explained to him that i will be resigning now, i've resigned and obviously he didn't want me to, but he understood. instantly i thought, this is serious. i think if you lose your, your health secretary and your chancellor, that for me, that was definitely the moment where it was, it was game over. it had taken less than ten minutes for borisjohnson to lose two of his most senior colleagues. i thought it was odd of them to have resigned in an orchestrated way that they did. i also think when people start talking about their own integrity, you want to

boris johnson said that sadness leaves tata in the best job in the world. i praise it is obvious that the desire of the conservative party is that it there was a new leader and, accordingly, a new prime minister, and i agreed that the process of choosing a new leader should start right now, the dates will be determined next week. i am happy today to announce a new cabinet of ministers that will work until a new leader is chosen. that is, boris johnson says that he agreed, in fact, experts are sure that he simply had no other choice, because to this resignation led to the enormous pressure that boris jones had on his party members have been fired from 59 officials in the last few days from the cabinet of ministers. this anti-record was not like it in the entire history of britain, right after johnson resigned. although i said yesterday that i would not go anywhere and would work as long as necessary, of course, there are many reasons for this political crisis, and it did not happen overnight. primarily. this is a lie of boris johnson, he deceived his fellow

boris made a joke, which is a characteristic boris joke. those of us... years, this was an absolutely characteristic boris joke, when he said, "he's pincher by name" — because that is his name — "and pincher by nature." he was asked in three separate interviews that i saw whether it was true that he'd said that, and he evaded those questions all those times, and that is not acceptable. that... it was his character and integrity that were in question, not his governing policies, and he obviously thought that was deeply unjust. he obviously thought he got the policy right on covid, on the vaccination programme, on the war, so why wasn't that enough? and he did not see that it was simply unacceptable to have a man who could tell lies of that kind or evade the truth in that way as prime minister. and yet, marc roche, there still seemed to be a significant number — though clearly now a minority in the parliamentary conservative party — who still wanted him to stay as prime minister, still in a sense thought the voters had priced in that element of his characte

boris johnson claims he didn't know about the misconduct. it emerged johnson had been briefed in person about it. the situation is approaching a tipping point where surely boris johnson's position becomes untenable. this prime minister is possessed of almost visceral stubbornness, seemingly impervious to the chrism of even close colleagues, and will not leave willingly. the question was posed directly during johnson's appearance before the liaison committee. >> on a human level, you must know it is in the country's interest for you to leave. >> i look at the pressures people are under and the need for government to focus on their priorities. i look at the biggest war in europe for 80 years. i can't for the life of me see how it is responsible to walk away from that. reporter: ousting a prime minister is no trivial matter but with many suit -- many choosing to resign rather than serve with this prime minister, the situation starts to look on survivable. the situation becomes, how to remove him from office? maryam: he joins us live now from ou

now you see this with boris johnson and the u.k. it feels like the dynamic of governments across the western world, there's just a big question mark around them. >> yeah, we are in a moment, as joe biden has wanted to say during the course of his presidency where democracy is not exactly on trial but people need to know that democracy works for them and is strong and healthy. that's certainly a question that's relevant in the united states at the moment. i just spent a month traveling around the u.s. talking to people on both sides of the political debate, and everybody i spoke to questioned whether we are in a perilous moment for democracy. when you see great britain like this in a moment of political turmoil, it underlies some of that sense that there is a fragility in the system. i guess the difference in the u.k. compared to the u.s. is that the u.k. is moving on and moving on fast. yes, it may be a question of a few months and that could produce instability in the system and, yes, boris johnson will try and stay. there's been s
