how secure is borisjohnson?ll never forgive him, some will neverforgive him, people who made sacrifices and followed the rules only to discover that he and his wife and many office staff did not do that and it will be regarded as hypocrisy of worst kind. but it is his mp that matter at the moment and they are on site and why? partly timing, the ukrainian war, many think this is not the moment to get rid of a leader and it's not clear they have an alternative leader, especially with the chancellor misusing a sunak having his own problems. that there is still danger ahead. the may elections, tory mps will spend the next few weeks going around talking to voters day in, day out and they may not like the feedback they are getting sober danger could still be there. maw; danger could still be there. many thanks. that's it from us. it's time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me tonight, deputy political editor

many conservative mps think that borisjohnson�*s handling of that borisjohnson�*s handling of that has good. that trip to kyiv was seen as a diplomatic coup for him, to be walking around the streets with president zelensky. it's possible, many tory mps may think because of the global situation and not wanting to hand any sort of proper —— propaganda code to do may put in that it will be the was time to get borisjohnson out of a job. not to say that... it mayjust be the thing that he says he is best placed to get the country through and therefore best place to stay in office. , , ., , therefore best place to stay in office. , ., , ., ., office. just on this, another calculation _ office. just on this, another calculation might _ office. just on this, another calculation might be - office. just on this, another calculation might be for- office. just on this, another calculation might be for the conservatives, the old joke of, be careful what you wish for. it's fine to get rid of the prime minister but you have to have a reasonable confidence that somebody there who is going to come up to

and borisjohnson wanted to be talking about something else.want to see is the conclusion of the investigation and i think the house of commons can decide what to do. matter and i think people will be able to make a judgement but until then i have to see a lot of this is not very useful. there's not a lot more i say and what i want to do is focus on the things i think are massive long—term benefit to this country and the world. he will now be the first the first part ministered to be investigated for potentially misleading the houses of parliament. that could lead to your resignation. let's wait and see the outcome the investigation. i am trying to i don't think it's that much to ask. i've been saying consistently for a long time we need to hear what sue grey has to say and if the opposition really want to focus on this issue that's fine. that's their prerogative. borisjohnson talking to our colleague on this trip to india. i thought keep your thoughts to yourself. when it comes to that sort of thing. you had been closer and out and about. it's

in this country, borisjohnson way might be a cul—de—sac. growing contrast between mrjohnson�*s global reputation and his domestic one. despite championing the cause of ukraine in europe, there's been no finger waggling in his meeting with narendra modi for the indian prime minister's support for russia. modi, johnson, putin — populist leaders in the ascendant. by the end of this weekend, we'll know whether or not that holds true for france, too. steve, let us begin with borisjohnson at home, however much he would rather we weren't concentrating on that. what has changed this week and how potentially troublesome is that for mrjohnson? the mood of conservative mps, they are the ones with agency, everyone else can express opinions about him, they are the ones with the power to remove him and something moved on thursday, when the whips couldn't discipline them all to vote against what labour was trying to do, which is to start an investigation, fairly soon, by one of the parliamentary select committees, and the reason that is significant is we

how is borisjohnson regarded in the gulf, mina?had a lot of praise from volodymyr zelensky on support the uk has given to ukraine. he�*s quite popular in ukraine, forsure. the way they look at him in the gulf is trying to understand if he will last as a politician. the uk�*s position as a country is still hugely important and influential in the gulf, so borisjohnson really benefits from that rather than borisjohnson himself delivering it. on the contrary, if you had a stronger prime minister, the ties would be quite strong, because of the absence of the us at the moment when it comes to the gulf. so in some ways, he could do better, but given all his domestic woes, it�*s a wait—and—see situation. when he went to india, he tried to stage all these moments, but it really did not go very far, and again the indians are looking to the uk because of traditional ties with india rather than borisjohnson himself really furthering much of these relationships. what�*s important is, again, for the local elections, the way people see this is th

it borisjohnson will try to do on tuesdayis it borisjohnson will try to do on tuesday is deflect fromire was announced he was on the phone to present biden talking about much more important things as you would like us to see it, about support for ukraine. as martin says, these vines are dribbling out. this party is the least of his worries and so those in downing street will be very concerned about what happens next. he is highly likely, i suspect, to get more fines. if the tories are hammered in the local elections in may there�*s going to be a very deep—seated sense of unease among conservative mps because don�*t forget they are there essentially to serve their constituents and to protect their seats and if they think that boris johnson protect their seats and if they think that borisjohnson is becoming an electoral liability i think they were dropping like a hot head of the general election. lie its were dropping like a hot head of the general election.— general election. us is available? that is the _ general election. us is available? that is the other _ general election. us is a

by the time borisjohnson visited this temple number ten had backed down and ditched its plan.isjudged the mood of your own party. i don't think it's sensible to have endless investigation and analysis now before the met have concluded their report. look, my view is, if the opposition really want to focus on this, that's all they want to talk about, that's fine, but what i want to talk about is the stuff we're doing to take forward the uk. talking about the most serious issues, whether a prime minister has lied to the house of commons, and you seem to be making up your approach to this question on an ad hoc, hour—by—hour basis, and that's proven by the chaos around this vote. don't voters expect a bit more? i'm sorry, what voters, i think, will want to see is the conclusion of the investigation, and then i think the house of commons can decide what to do. steve baker, fellow brexiteer like you, senior tory, has said this afternoon you should resign. you're losing credibility in your parliamentary party. my point is... we had two hours on this i think on tuesday, quite a lot on

borisjohnson said that this was an opportunity to ensure that ukraine was never invaded again.tus, i think, said war is the father of all things. i mean, that was an exaggeration, war isn't the father of everything, but what this war is certainly producing is a clarity about the vision of a future for ukraine where, together with friends and partners, we, the uk and others, supply the equipment, the technology, the know—how, the intelligence, so that ukraine will never be invaded again. so that ukraine is so fortified and so protected that ukraine can never be bullied again, never be blackmailed again, never be threatened in the same way again. in the meantime, there is a huge amount to do to make sure that ukraine is successful, that ukraine wins and that putin must fail. president zelensky thanked the uk government for its support and called on other nations to follow suit. we are especially grateful for this to happen. this is a true reflection of the decisive and significant support to ukraine from the united kingdom. we are always grateful for that, we shall always remembe
