borisjohnson en boris johnson en boris johnson, borisjohnson en borisjohnson, not a lwa ys borisjohnsonnson, not always an accurate forecast. he is his hair, he is his... but most of all, he is his words. this is a divided country, there are many people who regard him as charismatic, hilarious, and essential antidote to the pomposity of modern politics and a great tonic in dark times. i want you to consider this kipper. there are others who regard him as a disgrace, a user of racist slurs, the watermelon smiles, letterboxes, beginning his — and a nonserious man in difficult times. well, we have all got him now. we have to think beyond the clowning and dig a little deeper than the media clips. much of the public regards him with distaste or disapproval. but almost nobody who knows him well thinks that he is stupid. i have got to go and give a speech in a minute, i'm looking forward... at his more outrageous, the language was often designed to divert attention, to distract, and done with a cheerful, knowing complicity of many journalists. we haven't had a story all week, you've got to hel

but sources close to borisjohnson say some new oi’ close to borisjohnson say some new or recycled brooms will be a big job for the former international development secretary, who resigned over a high level, but completely unauthorised meetings with israeli politicians. the employment minister is also on the way up and they will be returned to government for the former sports minister, tracey crouch. listen carefully, does this sound like a job application? i think it is important that we have a government that reflects modern britain, but at the same time, the modern conservative party. so a party of all the talent, but importantly, a party that will now unite and come together and get behind our new leader. some big staffing decisions have to be settled later today. good morning. it is hot today. is jeremy hunt in the running for a topjob? he was defeated as party leader but doesn't want to be demoted, so he may run away from parliament entirely full stop behind the scenes, a key figure in the vote leave campaign, dominic cummings, has been given an influential role, suggesting that bre

now we find out who the real borisjohnson is, who borisjohnson the prime minister is because there isg street. and we are going to find out very soon street. and we are going to find out very soon whether he is the great unifier, whether he can bring his fractured party together and crucial to that, will be how far he brings different wings of the party into the cabinet or whether he surrounds himself with true brexit believers. and secondly, we are going to find out what sort of the brexiteer boris johnson is, is see the brexiteer of the leadership campaign, the do or die brexiteer, the man ready to eye ball die brexiteer, the man ready to eyeball the eu over no deal, to declare theresa may ‘s deal dead or as some remainers hope, will he begin to trim away from that, will there be a more nuanced approach, or maybe he will seek to gravitate to a deal noti million miles from that of theresa may? we don't know but we are going to find out because for so much of his political career, boris johnson has been able to hide, if you like, behind the good humour, the bluster, the buffoonery. no

the only thing that provides borisjohnson with a boris glimmer of hope is borisjohnson.nk, almost five force of personality, he can just bend brexit through, and he has to hope that because otherwise it is very ha rd to hope that because otherwise it is very hard to see how you construct a different deal in that timeframe. briefly, the eu would have to be convinced any deal is worth pushing through, that boris johnson convinced any deal is worth pushing through, that borisjohnson can get it through parliament. absolutely, and the timeframe to get a bill on legislation through parliament, even if there was the will, looks, well, getting towards politically impossible. the clock is ticking. much more from norman coming up. we‘re live in westminster throughout the day with the latest developments, as boris johnson becomes our new prime minister. now let‘s cross to college green for the victoria derbyshire programme with joanna gosling. hello. it‘s wednesday. it's 9.30. i‘m joanna gosling. boris johnson is off to buckingham palace this afternoon to be confirmed as the countr

borisjohnson's big cell is belief. enthusiasm for the pursuit of ambition. his promise to make the most on brexit, cleaning up the mess that he helped create. as he was cheered by tory mps in the commons this afternoon, they all know that not just turn off this afternoon, they all know that notjust turn off rays and a lot of controversy and power will not be enough on their own. —— notjust turn of phrase. well, let's get more from laura now. he has done the easy part by the sounds of it. we should reflect on what an astonishing turnaround this is. borisjohnson what an astonishing turnaround this is. boris johnson has what an astonishing turnaround this is. borisjohnson has had a roller—coaster political career. this time last year the conventional wisdom in westminster, which has proved wrong on so many occasions was that he was down and out, his chances of making his way to number ten were gone. and now, this time tomorrow he will be getting in the removal van, you will have stood outside downing street and addressed

borisjohnson but this is not make me sceptical about borisjohnson.have a problem with him being fun. i do not care whether he is a statesman... he was not prime minister when he was doing this...” do not care, it does not bother me at all. if you can bring joy and fun to the prime ministership it is good. they should be talking about the fact that when he loses track of details it can cost people very dearly, his clumsy was because he had not read briefings properly, landed radcliffe, for example... that is rubbish. she is injail because... exactly... let's not blame boris... but he sabotaged it with his clumsy, clumsy language. the resignations have confirmed that. we should not be doing that. they are bad guys, the iranians. we have sustained many minutes without talking about brexit at the time has come. imf wants over no—deal brexit. i think no—deal brexit will be a difficult and bumpy thing if it is to happen stop i think it is like playing a game of russian roulette. four times out of six we may be ok, it is the unexpected event cannot plan for

borisjohnson, 92,153 and therefore, i give notice that borisjohnson is elected as the leader of the conservative unionist party. deliver brexit, unite the country and defeat jeremy corbyn, and that is what we are going to do. mrjohnson met activists at conservative party hq this afternoon — before going on to address influential backbenchers, promising to deliver brexit by october 31st. the president of the eu commission and the eu's chief negotiator both say they look forward to working with him. and president trump has congratulated mrjohnson — saying, "he will be great". one other news story — a heatwave is spreading across the uk, with temperatures expected to climb to well over 30 degrees celsius this week. it's five o'clock — our top story: borisjohnson has promised to energise the country, after winning victory in the tory leadership contest. he secured two—thirds of members‘ votes, comfortably defeating the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt. mrjohnson will officially become prime minister tomorrow after a meeting with the queen at buckingham palace. in his victory speech, mrjohnson promised t

|j relaxed about borisjohnson, though he wouldn't have her vote.ink he has a good hard. but i actually do want a general election and to bring jeremy corbyn, we need somebody who is more humane, in my opinion. buxton has its own boris johnson lookalike, but his daddy is not a fan of the real one. when i asked what he thought of the new prime minister, he said he had to choose his words carefully. prime minister, he said he had to choose his words carefullylj prime minister, he said he had to choose his words carefully. i would probably use the

borisjohnson and the start of a very different era. of a very different era. borisjohnson and the brexiteers in charge, perhaps not so much taking back control as coming into a fragile situation. believe in boris, believing brexit. forany into a fragile situation. believe in boris, believing brexit. for any new administration there is glory on day one but there were howls of protest from whitehall throughout the speech. this is a time of strife. mr johnson is in charge because of the failures of his party and his predecessor. for her, pine today for one last bout in the commons. fa rewells and one last bout in the commons. farewells and tributes aplenty for theresa may, but it is politics. always barbs, also. can i pay tribute to her sense of public duty, i hope that she has a marginally more relaxing time on the back benches and perhaps, like the chancellor, even helping me to oppose the reckless plans of her successoi’. oppose the reckless plans of her successor. she couldn't resist it either. could i change my exchange with him by s

as borisjohnson got a deal through? as borisjohnson got a better chance?election if we got to that stage. i've been on a commission looking at the irish border issue, not to have the backstop as it is currently constituted. but we don't know how boris will take his ideas forward. so, you think that his sort of government is going to be quite an inclusive government? because a lot of his rhetoric, frankly, during the campaign hasn't been very inclusive? i think it has at times. i went to one of the hustings and actually he did makea one of the hustings and actually he did make a play of wanting to unify the party. he made it clear in a letter we sent him he said his two domestic policy priorities are social care and school funding and i agree with those. will he have time to that? i hope so. one of the m ista kes to that? i hope so. one of the mistakes of the last three years is we don't appear to have had time and for many people, people in my constituency, brexit is an uppermost in their mind. they do care about social care and their child's funding and n

borisjohnson, 92,153. and jeremy hunt, 116,656. borisjohnson, 92,153. and thereby give notice that borisjohnson is a lack did as the leader of the conservative and unionist party. deliver brexit, unite the country, and defeat jeremy corbyn. deliver brexit, unite the country, and defeatjeremy corbyn. and that is what we are going to do. this afternoon mrjohnson met activists at conservative party hq. tomorrow, he'll be heading to number 10 downing street. the president of the eu commission and the eu's chief negotiator both say they look forward to working with mrjohnson. president trump was one of the first to congratulate him — saying "he will be great". and in other news, a heatwave is spreading across the uk, with temperatures expected to climb to well over 30 degrees celsius this week. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers conservative writer tim montgomerie and the chief executive of think tank demos polly mackenzie. good evening. by this time tomorrow borisjohnson will be our new prime minister, realising a

borisjohnson has boris johnson has taken borisjohnson has taken office as the prime minister of the uktober deadline. borisjohnson said he would forge a better deal with what he called our european friends. as the new prime minister, he has wasted no time in forming a new government that is strongly pro—brexit. sajid javid becomes the first asian chancellor of the exchequer, the former brexit secretary dominic raab is now the new foreign secretary, replacing jeremy hunt. priti patel returns to the government as home secretary, boris johnson's the government as home secretary, borisjohnson's former the government as home secretary, boris johnson's former conservative leadership rival, michael gove, becomes cabinet office minister, stephen barclay will continue negotiations with the eu, remaining in his role as brexit secretary, and in the last few minutes, we have heard that ben wallace, a close ally of borisjohnson, heard that ben wallace, a close ally of boris johnson, replaces heard that ben wallace, a close ally of borisjohnson, replaces penny mordaunt as defence secretary. lots of

how is borisjohnson going to do this?eal that he is willing to go forward with? well, the default position, of course, is in law that we are leaving the european union on the sist leaving the european union on the 31st of october. if some of the remainders managed to create some form of vote of no—confidence in the government or some other such thing to try to continue to impede and block brexit or manage a no—deal brexit i should say, then of course there is the distinct possibility of a general election. i and not a general election. land not frightened of a general election. i think there is a quiet majority in this country who respect the fact that we had taken the decision to leave the european union and l rather suspect and hope that they would back borisjohnson under such circumstances in a general election. we can longer allow or afford for a remain parliament to create gridlock and paralysis. to take on the british people, that is exactly what has been happening over the last three years. this parliament... they

and jeremy huntare 31st, is borisjohnson and jeremy hunt are saying, ie, the 31st, is borisjohnson andying, ie, the new conservative leader and prime minister, how do the lib dems define themselves in the post brexit britain, given that they've said they are the remain party? it's a big question for the party and they almost need to work at a new position, because right now the whole approach is the idea there is going to be an early election, i think, and it's based on that. many tory mps support borisjohnson and they think there will be an early election just because, they think there will be an early electionjust because, if they think there will be an early election just because, if you look at the numbers in parliament, and you could get there. i think the lib dems have a current pitch, you can see how they would do well. you look at the european and local elections and where the lib dems in the polls. if we leave the eu before an election, i think that's tricky for them, because do they become the party of rejoining the eu? they could do that, they are the most pro—eu party, but

it is what it is with borisjohnson being prime minister, iam happy borisjohnson being prime minister,er thejobs minister, because with us having a prime minister the jobs that need to be done need to be done, it is not all about brexit. i voted to eremain, we have a critical, critical critical crisis of young people, families that are suffering, low income families, children that are hungry, living in poverty, youth violent, when is this going to stop? the police need help, there has been a lot that has been said by the government, the government for decades, we need action, whoever is in power. boris johnson says there will be 20,000 more police officers. a lot is being said be what you is being implemented. theresa may last week said one billion will be odded to the police. that money has been said, nothing is in the bank. this is really important for and the point made earlier about what the cabinet looks like, we have someone as home secretary who has voted against banning pregnant women being put in detention. we have someone wanting stricter immigration law, with the chancellor

but borisjohnson is wedded as soon as he said do or die october 31.ll be political fatal for him if he seeks an extension. one strategist a few hours ago said it is all looking as if they will be a general election and all we hear here about cabinet appointments, this is all trying to soften up for a moment when he says i tried to do this, parliament stop me, europe's top me, maybe that is his best chance? —— europe has stopped me. with 100 chance? —— europe has stopped me. with100 days to go, boris can say he has tried his hardest to get this done. it may be a do or die deadline and if parliament delayed and forced his hand and legislated them to death than he has to turn to the people and say give me a new parliament that will help me get this done. at that point he will be the champion. he composes like this. and that means it will be people versus parliament and who knows, he will stand for the people and hope to wina will stand for the people and hope to win a handsome majority. that was christian fraser talking to a couple of guest there. now to

——john and character of borisjohnson's top team. —— john pienaar. and character of borisjohnson's tophas the keys. number ten is home to boris johnson. now he is deciding who is invited and who to show the door, and he has been ruthless. brexiteers get the warmest welcome but there is no room for any but the most loyal. will you stay in cabinet? have you turned down defence? jeremy hunt, beaten rival, has gone. he wanted a big job but no chance. his supporters have been shooed from office, along with most of the old cabinet. penny mordaunt, a big surprise, gone from defence, along with fox at international trade, anotherjeremy hunt backer. no surprise that chancellor philip hammond resigned. he has pledged to fight any no—deal brexit. and no change for the loyal stephen barclay, who will stay on at the brexit department. michael gove, once turned on borisjohnson but thatis once turned on borisjohnson but that is forgiven. he stays in the cabinet without a department. boris johnson was expected to pick a team he could trust but this looks brutal. it's a cabinet built to deliver brexit,

in a borisjohnson government.uld envisage leaving with no deal. i don't think it's possible, his heart would not be in it, which is why with foreign secretary he might carry on but anything else, i think he probably will feel well out of it for a little while. we are seeing a car arriving at number ten to ta ke seeing a car arriving at number ten to take theresa may to the house of commons for her final prime ministers questions. what are your thoughts, all of you ? ministers questions. what are your thoughts, all of you? do you feel sympathy for theresa may? no. i think we've had three wasted years. she made some serious errors calling a general election, her majority, failing to prepare for no deal, one bargaining chip to get a better deal from the eu, sol bargaining chip to get a better deal from the eu, so i think we need to look to the future now.” from the eu, so i think we need to look to the future now. i don't feel an inch of sympathy for theresa may. she basically lied to the tory mps when she was electe

they will see what borisjohnson does her position and.n does and her position and. they will see what borisjohnson does and if he boxes himself and similarly. and the clock is really ticking down because the next brexit deadline is the 31st of 0ctober. next brexit deadline is the 31st of october. yes, time is very tight, less tha n october. yes, time is very tight, less than 100 days now and almost impossible to see have a whole new negotiation can happen by the same time, you have borisjohnson having said that he is prepared to go for no deal and leave with no arrangements in place, that is a real worry here. they really do not wa nt real worry here. they really do not want that to happen but interestingly in the uk, we heard during the referendum and since then, taught that european, german car manufacturers would pressure the eu to step back from no deal and grant concessions to the uk, whether they been saying today, and let me tell you. the land of the association says threats to leave the eu with no deal will come back like a boomer

borisjohnson has boris johnson has taken borisjohnson has taken over at downing street as the new priment will work flat out to get the country the leadership he says it deserves. we are going to fulfil the repeated promises of parliament to the people. and come out of deq on october 31, i know it's our backs. i have every confidence that in 99 days' time, we will have cracked it. change in the cabinet with more than half the minister is either being sacked or resigning. the foreign secretary and leadership arrival jeremy hunt is the biggest casualty. the farmerfrom sajid jeremy hunt is the biggest casualty. the farmer from sajid javid is a new chancellor while priti patel becomes home secretary and the former brexit secretary is a new foreign secretary. boris but boris johnson's first day in office is marked by protests with one group of activists disrupting his journey to buckingham palace to be appointed pm by the queen. much more on the comings and goings later. but here's your sports news from the sports centre with lizzie. hello, thank you very much a quick round up starting the c

government but inside the borisjohnson borisjohnson government but inside the boris johnson team, borisjohnsonde the borisjohnson team, taking place over the weekend, those remain ministers, which of those you want to keep the tent? carrying a red box, sitting in a ministerial car and therefore bound by collective responsibility and unable to vote againstan no responsibility and unable to vote against an no deal policy. that will bea against an no deal policy. that will be a question that the new conservative chief with will be grappling with an boris is going to be grappling with as he puts his new government together from tomorrow afternoon. that is one of the issues that was a huge talking point during this race to become leader of the conservative party. borisjohnson's character. has he got the character and integrity to leaders prime minister, because of his comments, his antics. some of the buffoonery we've seen over the years. that is what alan duncan was referring to and some others have. is he the right man to negotiate? this is the fascinating thing. borisjohnson is a politician. whe

and today, borisjohnson has fulfilled his childhood dream to become prime minister., over the last few months, become increasingly reflective of the scale of the challenge that he is about to take on and i am absolutely convinced that he is emotionally and intellectually ready for this. he knows the scale of it, and he's up to it. borisjohnson‘s path to the top is a well trodden one — the 20th prime minister to be schooled at eton. the house will proceed to a division. he went on to study classics at oxford university. a career injournalism followed with a stint in brussels for the telegraph, where he relished mocking the european commission. i didn't want to be totally stitched up here. his profile was boosted by tv appearances. borisjohnson had set his sights on a political career, and where better than the safe conservative seat of henley upon thames? but even back then, as borisjohnson tried to become the conservatives' candidate, the local party was divided over his talents. some were attracted to this slightly eccentric, larger than life personality, but others

borisjohnson ta kes a conservative party. borisjohnson takes a different view.undament of the different view, given that theresa may's deal did not work in her years in office, he has the ability to do so. trying to co m press he has the ability to do so. trying to compress and wait for answers in a might be of seemed to done —— trying to compromise. how likely is it given the way some people see the make above his cabinets? some groups in society are never going to like borisjohnson as prime minister. ultimately what boris johnson borisjohnson as prime minister. ultimately what borisjohnson is trying to do is get that leave vote back, and you can see with his appointments — not just back, and you can see with his appointments — notjust in the cabinet but in number ten. vote leave coming back together. they are not worrying about what each mp in parliament once, getting the country back, and hope the bounce in the polls, looking like they are popular and reaching out to at the people wa nt and reaching out to at the people want will then get people inside the ho

all morning we will be talking about borisjohnson. he is about to ta ke about borisjohnson.successful will he be at breaking through the brexit impasse that theresa may found impossible? we have loads of gas this morning. we have loads of gas this morning. we would love to get your opinions. getting contact with us about that. we arejoined now getting contact with us about that. we are joined now by bronwen, who's the director of the institute for government. as louise mensch and, getting what he wants to do through parliament will be a huge challenge to anyone, particularly the new prime minister. that is understating it. it may be impossible. we will have to see. he has a tiny majority which may be only two, one defection could wipe that out. what he will try to do is avoid bringing any legislation to parliament, because that gives his opponents, people like dominic grieve on the conservative side, or keir starmer from grieve on the conservative side, or keir starmerfrom labour grieve on the conservative side, or keir starmer from labour the chance to bring amendments that

anyone who thinks borisjohnson has a plan in his back pocket.mn surely can believe it any longer? there are also many people who want to brexit who have never believed that no deal is an issue, that britain will be fine without a deal. i am sorry, they are wrong and not being told the truth if they believe that. these are politicians telling voters this, as they have done since the referendum. politicians have a responsibility to be honest with the voters and by the borisjohnsonjeremy be honest with the voters and by the boris johnson jeremy hunt had. be honest with the voters and by the borisjohnsonjeremy hunt had. no deal will hurt a lot. they use the phrase coronation of borisjohnson as tory leader. do you suspect he will have a landslide in that vote, or will there be more votes than we expect forjeremy or will there be more votes than we expect for jeremy hunt?|j or will there be more votes than we expect forjeremy hunt? i would be astonished ifjeremyjo boris johnson did not win overwhelmingly, tory membership is dominantly old, wealthy, un

so in the first 100 days, borisjohnson's domestic brexit.s, boris johnson's domestic agenda brexit. so in the first 100 days, borisjohnson's domestic agenda that set out with all these new cabinet minister has been received positively because it is talking about what we are going to do as a country, in addition to brexit. whether it be more police officers, funding in schools, or what he is saying on brexit in an attempt to resolve thing in to his predecessor. i think it is all positive in in the right direction. do you agree, do you see it as a first good week?|j think you see it as a first good week?” think all the policies borisjohnson is coming up with at the moment is clear that stretching from the overwhelming issue of brexit. he is giving the impression of government jobs, economic revival but the one thing high on peoples mind is that single issue of brexit. that is what his administration will be judged on. i think that is a fascination on watching the borisjohnson administration but i cannot pretend it isa administration but i cann

he is borisjohnson. boris is a dog's name or something. he is borisjohnson. or something. he is boris johnson. well, there is a tennis player famously called boris. my point is this is to make us boris. my point is this is to make us feel comfortable and familiar with this guy and i think that is wrong. yes. they're also saying that the suggestion is that they should go down to checkers and have another chat about these things. they should be carrying on, it is obvious they will be doing that. we have a new prime minister on tuesday. on tuesday the announcement of, presumably, johnson, and then theresa may goes to the queen and then borisjohnson theresa may goes to the queen and then boris johnson moves theresa may goes to the queen and then borisjohnson moves in with his new bed. well, thank you so much. nicely teed up. do i get a house by a gold star? -- house point or a gold star? boris johnson a gold star? -- house point or a gold star? borisjohnson puts on a hefty bill for furniture at number ten. what a horrible headline. you think why is it here? i sup

maybe that is what borisjohnson wa nts. maybe that is what borisjohnson wants.t when it comes to brexit, he is going to adopt a very aggressive, it may be unconventional, approach. maybe that is what is needed. maybe if you go ona is what is needed. maybe if you go on a same set of timelines that theresa may went on, you won't get anywhere. if you have dominic cummings, you have potential to do something a little differently that might affect brexit. we are just watching these images from the last few minutes off theresa may's prime ministerial card making her way to westminster for what will be her final prime minister's questions, it will be her 95th before that hand over of power and those before us. at buckingham palace and here in downing street. we will be with you throughout the day. but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. thanks forjoining us. continue here with our coverage of a momentous day, by anyone's standards, in downing street and around westminster as theresa may left number ten to head to the palace of westminster for her final prime mini

borisjohnson has with a deal but if not on wto terms.t also in the collective responsibility in government and cabinet and pursuing that mission and i think keeping your promises as a politician is of the utmost importance as a matter of principle, but also given the banality of the brexit process. we are getting news that one government minister may have already resigned in the prospect of a borisjohnson prime ministership. let'sjoin norman smith our assistant political editor. sir alan duncan? he has gone, quit hisjob as editor. sir alan duncan? he has gone, quit his job as a editor. sir alan duncan? he has gone, quit hisjob as 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 to

on the one hand, borisjohnson is prime minister.ight, prime minister. on the one hand, borisjohnson is right, the eu does have more flexibility over the brexit deal than it has wanted really to let on until now. but on the other hand, he is probably wrong if he thinks that the threat of a no—deal brexit, however credible, and however much we know that eu leaders would prefer to avoid it, will force a major rethink in brussels. eu leaders‘ flexibility is actually much more constrained than that. they not going to want to make decisions or compromises that ultimately will hurt them. so some changes to that irish backstop guarantee, possible, if dublin says yes, but getting rid of the backstop altogether, which would mean exposing eu leaders‘ lucrative single market to the possibility of smuggled, non— regulation goods, it would mean them turning their back on member state ireland, i do not see them going in that direction at all stop and grab katya adlerfor us. borisjohnson has served as london mayor, foreign secretary and played a si

borisjohnson, i think, borisjohnson, ithink, has been borisjohnson, i think, has been a very clear thaton monday, that the deal as it stands right now instead. and there's no point in trying to fiddle or twiddle it. the reality is that there are huge elements in it that are inoperable in the uk. so be prepared to leave without hideo and, by the way, that is not —— without a deal. and that is not including the other ones that have been done on freight on capital, and other ones that are going on at the moment. i think it is wholly feasible first engage the eu at that period and ireland, particularly, asking how we can make this work when the uk leaves, either honest and still... the result of that is coming on tuesday, but westminster, i think it is better to say, is preparing for borisjohnson to be prime minister coming wednesday. a whole host of issues, the headaches will be plentiful and the drama... we are in for one hell of a ride. we certainly are. and one of the issues that the new prime minister will be dealing with is of the seizure of that stena impero, the british fight oil sh

the president and new prime minister borisjohnson spoke on the phone yesterday.imed trade with the us after brexit could be worth up to five times what it is now for the uk. boris and i just spoke. i congratulated him and he's all set to go. he's gonna be — i think he'll be — do a greatjob. we're working already on a trade agreement. and i think it will be a very substantial trade agreement. you know, we can do with the uk — we can do three to four times — we were actually impeded by their relationship with the european union. we were very much impeded on trade. again, this question how long such a trade deal would happen, how realistic is it and what other hurdles? big promises from donald trump last night in that interview. of course there was this phone call between boris johnson of course there was this phone call between borisjohnson and resident trump last night. the first official uncle between the two of them as world leaders. we have heard a lot from president trump about boris johnson. just after his election as party leader, calling him britton trump a

do you think borisjohnson...irst of all before i think whether he would be bothered about these claims, what the actual report that you've got in your paper about. isa that you've got in your paper about. is a report by my colleague francis perrin says in 2007, in an appendix to one of his books, he wrote an essay, saying islam has caused the muslim world to be literally centuries behind the west. saying that as a result muslim grievance was a factor in virtually every conflict he could think of. that has been criticised really strongly by the group tell mama, which monitors islamophobia. and the muslim council of britain as well, and also the former conservative head of the conservative muslim association. so it has caused a bit of a stir. part of this exercise the guardian is doing, going into depth about boris johnson's record, examining every period in his professional career. and this one in particular is looking at this time in his life as a journalist. because he looking at this time in his life as ajourna

world leaders have been congratulating borisjohnson.e first, declaring "he'll be great". we have a really good man is going to be the prime minister of the uk now, borisjohnson. applause. good man. he's tough and he's smart. they say britain trump, they call him britain trump. and people are saying that's a good thing. they like me over there. that's what they wanted. that's what they need. applause. that's what they need. he'll get it done. boris is good, he's going to do a good job. as we've heard, mrjohnson has made brexit a priority — promising "do or die" that britain will leave the european union by the 31st of october. the incoming new head of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, says mrjohnson is facing difficult times ahead. there are many different and difficult issues to tackle together. we have challenging times ahead of us. it is very important to build up a strong and good working relation because we have the duty to deliver something which is good for people in europe and the united kingdom, so i am looking forw

for years, it's been said that the only person who can beat borisjohnson is borisjohnson himself.find out what conservatives think ofjeremy hunt in the next film, and speaking to one of his supporters in a moment. but first, watching that with me is therese coffey mp — environment minister — and a borisjohnson supporter. thank you so much forjoining us. you were a remainer but why are you supporting boris now?|j you were a remainer but why are you supporting boris now? i respect the result of the referendum and we've spent the last three years trying to make sure we honour that result and so make sure we honour that result and so far we've not been able to get a solution through parliament. with the prime minister leaving i think we need a leader who will guarantee that we will make sure that we respect the result and leave the european union and i genuinely believe boris has the best way of getting the cut through to achieve that. he says he'll only have people in his cabinet who sign up to a no—deal brexit, would you sign up to a cabinet on that basis? i've always supported the

so he would be available at any point borisjohnson wa nts to available at any point borisjohnson wantss any ideas to getan wants to call to discuss any ideas to get an agreement. mrjuncker said those had to be in line with the current withdrawal agreement bill stuff the eu is very conscious and may not be willing to compromise. mr johnson may painting himself into a corner, repeating mistakes made by theresa may. the uk's choice, mr johnson's repeated today the backstop and the single market are the main issues. the agreement in place, the backstop, are there to solve those issues, hearing mr johnson say the agreement was only possible if the backstop is eliminated, well, michelle barnier, jean—claude juncker, the irish eliminated, well, michelle barnier, jean—claudejuncker, the irish prime minister also that was unacceptable because the issues have to be addressed now, they can't be kicked into the future. and the irish prime minister went further, into the future. and the irish prime ministerwent further, he into the future. and the irish prime minister went further, he said without

today, tory mps delighted that —— at borisjohnson the bulldozer. just hear their rules.ent view. he wants to drive us off the cliff edge and he does not even know the impact of the damage it will cause. will he bring back any brexit plan and put it to this house, then put it to the people? no to that, but the allies he needs on—board for now. to that, but the allies he needs on-board for now. we need to deliver brexit with a deal. but we must be prepared for no—deal if necessary. not her pub in any more, watching a different, more straightforward game today. former colleagues in tow. theresa may at the cricket, able to laugh now. the movers on their way into ta ke laugh now. the movers on their way into take her belongings out. her successor speed again at the back. downing street is firmly home for borisjohnson downing street is firmly home for boris johnson now. laura downing street is firmly home for borisjohnson now. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. one of mrjohnson's first acts was to guarentee acts was to guarantee the rights of eu citizens living in the uk

and yes, borisjohnson letterboxes tomorrow morning.ohnson has given an interview to the daily mail in which he vows to get tough, essentially re—establish the conservative reputation as a party of law and order. he says he will ensure that, as he says, thugs and sex offenders will be locked up for longer. he is not very happy that they get half of the sentence knocked off for good behaviour. he thinks of that as soft justice, and that you should stay in jailfor justice, and that you should stay in jail for longer. justice, and that you should stay in jailfor longer. he says justice, and that you should stay in jail for longer. he says that is what the public want. he has already announced he will boost stop—and—search powers, something he has long been very vocal on. he will increase the number of police officers by 20,000, reversing cuts implemented by the tory government. of which he was a part. of which he was a part, which he has may be neglected to mention that, strangely. but he has also... it is not all, as i say, red meat to th

basically, borisjohnson basically, boris johnson is basically, borisjohnson is saying to the eu let'snt to to the eu let's do a new deal. we want to solve this, take the backstop out and we can do business. he is also saying that if you do not do that, i will walk away. make no bones about it, the uk will leave at the end of october come what may. that is really concerning many people in scotland, not the least nicola sturgeon who lives in this building behind me. herargument after holding tasks with mrjohnson this afternoon was that she now thinks he is taking the uk almost inevitably on a course to no deal. why? because the eu will not negotiate and he set a hard deadline of october 31. you may say she is one of his political opponents and of course you will say that. that is afair point of course you will say that. that is a fair point to what is interesting as well as that there is concern in the scottish conservative party about mrjohnson's strategy. ruth davidson has made clear to mr johnson she will not support him if he goes down that route. that means she could become one of

and i have no faith in borisjohnson as a prime minister. do to make life better for people is good. whether he can deliver or not, we'll wait and see. drawing up a to—do list is the easy part. making it happen is a real challenge. vicki young, bbc news, manchester. our business correspondent katy austin is here. how new is all of this, the funding and this plan? well, the idea of boosting the north of england's economy through improving infrastructure is certainly not a new idea. in fact, it's one of the key spines, if you like, of the northern power powerhouse idea. today, boris johnson northern power powerhouse idea. today, borisjohnson is staking his claim to part of that project with his manchester to leeds fast rail service idea. but for a long time now business leaders across the north, council leaders, businesses themselves, have been calling for much more than that. they have been calling for tens of billions of pounds of investment in a really wide ranging kind of rail improvement projects, faster, better links between many cities

but would still vote for borisjohnson.e may be an element of, well, you are mr brexit so let's get this done. you started it, you deliver it. and in delivering it there is a risk according to the financial times. and borisjohnson according to the financial times. and boris johnson and all candidates have been asked several times, if you had to choose between delivering brexit, so—called, well, that is always a misnomer because all you are doing is starting ten years of negotiations. leave that one side to delivering brexit or keeping the union. if you had to keep, if you had to do only one of those two things what would you do? they are all forced into the position of saying obviously keeping the union. but the dup, the unionists in northern ireland who are absolutely foursquare behind the exit ahead of the first of march deadline, they began to get squeamish about the consequences for northern ireland through the backstop and all that. and their leader was saying unequivocally we are first and foremost for the union. so y

we thought the borisjohnson coming are in stalemates.thought the boris johnson coming along are in stalemates. we thought the borisjohnson coming along with him block some of this at the moment, it is not looking very likely. boris johnson is deliberately talking tough in order to make it clear that a deal is going to be really difficult and therefore, given apartment might try to block it as well and an election may be called but there's lots of speculation but also its of theories in terms of what might come down the telegraph has got this interesting piece by the political editor, borisjohnson has set in terms of the potential deal, but as they were getting so many conflicting signals your. deal, but as they were getting so many conflicting signals younm you're talking about talking tough, the language used in this telegraph article is that he talked about the chance for no deal is vanishingly small and said that the chance for i'io small and said that the chance for no deal is one in a million. he's continuing with this tough talk an
