under borisjohnson, he was having his cake and eating it. eat cake. we conservatives are still hopelessly out of touch with the everyday lives of the british people. they are still letting you down and taking you for granted, and it is still our job to hold these conservatives to account and get them out of office at the next general election. at that election, known to voters will be asking a simple question —— millions of voters. how do we get rid of our awful conservative mp? and we have shown time and again thatis and we have shown time and again that is something you liberal democrats are pretty good at. take our three historic by—election wins. overturning a conservative majority of 16,000. overturning a conservative majority ofi6,000. overturning overturning a conservative majority of 16,000. overturning a majority of 22,000. and this summer, overturning a conservative majority of 211,000. fantastic! and we didn't just and we didn'tjust beat the conservatives, we showed boris the door. in may, we also secured a fantastic set of local

borisjohnson, while pm, declared it was his intention to build eight new reactors in the next eight yearstion would represent a major change in uk energy policy, that some will lament, and some will celebrate. simon jack, bbc news. let's talk to henri murison, chief executive of the northern powerhouse partnership — he was also formerly a labour councillor in newcastle. good to have you witnessed today. how much do you think this might if this rail line doesn't go ahead or is scaled back? so this rail line doesn't go ahead or is scaled back?— this rail line doesn't go ahead or is scaled back? so the savings in this current _ is scaled back? so the savings in this current financial _ is scaled back? so the savings in this current financial period, - is scaled back? so the savings in this current financial period, will| this current financial period, will be negligible. most of it was due to be negligible. most of it was due to be built in the late 20 20s and early 30s, making cuts to a noun doesn't save any money at all for the chancellor's current spending challenge. i think what grant sh

borisjohnson made three visits to kyiv, and that was the case with him too, we didn�*t know this wasns absolutely committed to its support to ukraine. rishi sunak has had a pretty important week domestically, with his chancellorjeremy hunt delivering the autumn statement, and jeremy hunt made it clear the reason why we�*re going to go through a difficult period as a country is, in his view, largely because of the global headwinds caused by the war in ukraine. interesting to note that rishi sunak, when he tweeted out the video of him arriving and meeting volodymyr zelensky, said that britain would be with ukraine until the end. so, a clear commitment there, regardless of the impact it might have on people�*s energy bills here in britain, that the prime minister remains absolutely still alongside president zelensky, still alongside president zelensky. but alongside this visit today, there is some funding that�*s been announced too, so a bolstering of the ukrainian air defence systems against what the prime minister described as the barbaric aerial assault that we have seen over the pas

i was critical of austerity at the time, as indeed was borisjohnson, shall we say. has been in economic terms similar, but the politics very different. the last couple of years, the treasury has basically said growth is very weak, public finances therefore are not in good shape. to get the finances back into shape, you need higher taxes, which is what rishi sunak was advocating. now, the imf, earlier this year, rightly, in my view, criticised the uk as being the only g7 country planning to raise taxes going into a global recession. as keynes correctly pointed out almost 90 years ago, you need to use fiscal policy to stabilise an economy when it's facing economic weakness. but you are correct. the problem with debt makes the outlook very sensitive to that growth and interest rate picture. so what one really needs to do is try and turn the whole picture around and ask, what is it that's required? and you could apply this to france and germany and italy as well as britain. what's required to change what has been the picture since 2008? since 2008, britain has been a lo

we know, of course, that too did resign under borisjohnson. being _ statements coming next week. mr. i understand that, but being a prime minister, you have got to multitask. he said he wanted to have a government of integrity and appointing an ethics adviser would be the first point to do. he has to go further. they have been a whole series of recommendations to a whole series of recommendations to a whole series of recommendations to a whole series of prime ministers about how complaints against ministers are dealt with. they have in the main been ignored. rishi sunak could not only appoint an ethics adviser, but implement fully the recommendations from the committee, including his veto on whether an investigation takes place. this is the problem. whenever a complaint is made, ultimately politics trumped the facts of the case. whether that is the appointment of the ministers, the appointment of the ministers, the questionable appointment of a minister with the promise to saying it is politically suitable, and whether they are sacked or inves

former prime minister borisjohnson pledged £700 million for the project in september with a call to go is also expected to try to raise more money through capital gains tax — that's a tax on the profit made when you sell something that has increased in value. it's trying to make savings of at least £50 billion to fill the current hole in the treasury's finances. here's our business editor, simonjack. major energy infrastructure and transport projects, including a new nuclear plant in suffolk, and a new rail line in the north of england, are under review and could be delayed, watered down or even scrapped, as the government tries to cut spending, the bbc understands. the new business secretary, grant shapps, gave the clearest indication yet that recent commitments by former prime minister liz truss to a brand new line, eventually connecting northern towns and cities from hull to liverpool through bradford, were very likely to be scaled back. the line itself can deliver a 33 minute journey from manchester to leeds, quadruple nearly the capacity of that line, and do so without having to w

borisjohnson, the negotiations start to take place.e place. borisjohnson, the former uk prime minister, is also there, but a lot of controversy and discussion around the attendance of the current prime minister rishi sunak who initially said he would not attend but now is attending the climate conference in egypt. the key of course to try and tackle the climate crisis that is facing the world. a lot of discussion over loss and damage, how to release those finances. i think thatis to release those finances. i think that is rwanda's leader there to the bottom, representatives of south africa, zimbabwe also there and a number of other key players in those discussions. we have been speaking to a number of voices here on bbc news. sir david king, who served as the government's permanent special representative for climate change bewteen 2013 and 2017, spoke to me earlier about why he believes the developed world isn't doing nearly enough. at the moment we are way behind where we ought to be, not one country is doing nearly enough. the climat

we know borisjohnson have ignored advice.d eugene levy left to the peerage, and he has another lift up his sleeve for his resignation honours, and the idea that liz truss should have a resignation list, if she had any sense of decency or intricate free or self—awareness, of course she wouldn't do it, because she wasn't in the job long wouldn't do it, because she wasn't in thejob long enough. but i think keir starmer is right, they really does need to be something to restore trust in politics, as nigel said and i think when people see these cronies and donorsjust i think when people see these cronies and donors just ending up i think when people see these cronies and donorsjust ending up in the house of lords because that is what they have done, it doesn't actually help the legislative process, which is what the house of lords is for. 784 people, it is actually bonkers. and i am sure, nigel probably knows better than mean, how many of them actually turn up. but you don't need that many people, and you do need people who are go

i think they thought that borisjohnson and liz with.t goes through we are talking trade war with the european union. i think rishi sunak will avoid that. i think there will be a sense both in dublin that rishi sunak might be someone they can deal with and at the moment is approaching when they can get something across the line on the protocol. if that happens, of course, the executive stands a good chance of being reconstituted, back in business. there are three interrelated problems, the bill, the protocol bill and the protocol itself and the devolution institution of northern ireland as well. the future of all of them is interconnected.— well. the future of all of them is interconnected. :, ,, , :, , : interconnected. thank you very much for that. the social media company twitter has told its 7,500 staff — via email — that majorjob cuts are coming, following the firm's takeover by the billionaire elon musk. staff have been told they will know by 4pm today whether they still have a job. some staff have already posted on twitter that th

maybe because of the threat from borisjohnson to, through nadine dorries, to undermine the bbc, get rid the bbc to heel. i mean, i think it's part of that syndrome that the bbc can become overcautious. i happen to think the things that emily, and i said it publicly and i've said it to her, said about the covid expedition of cummings to have his eyes tested, that it was clearly false. i thought that was not the right thing for her to say, that's all. but i think on the broader picture, the idea of the bbc�*s impartiality is important to defend. and the bbc has to understand that all prime ministers attack the bbc, all prime ministers try and undermine the bbc. all prime ministers think they hold the whip hand through the licence fee, so the bbc has to appeal, in a way, over the head of the politicians, to the public, to its audience, and say, "we're not frightened of government." it's easy to attack them for being frightened of government. impartiality? it's very, very... it's in the eye of the beholder, in a way, but it is very, very important to defend it. i think on the whole the bbc

there's been particular criticism of borisjohnson in that he appointed a newspaper editor, but also therity of that appointment. also mrjohnson has been accused of making offers to mps in order to curry favour with them that they can go to the house of lords, but then urging them not to resign from theirjob as an mp in order to not trigger a by—election. so, there have been a few controversies, and that seems to be what has prompted keir starmer to say that these changes are needed. a ukrainian female soldier who was fighting in the azovstal steel plant in mariupol before the city was taken by russian forces, has told the bbc she saw people being electrocuted while she was a prisoner of war in russia. the bbc�*s olga malchevska has this report. this is illina before the russian invasion, the 24—year—old sergeant in the border guard. after russia attacked maripol in february, shejoined other ukrainian personnel in the steelworks. in this video taken in april, they are sheltering in a bunker in the steelworks. there were huge russian bombardments. three weeks later, russia captured the to

and earlier this year, then prime minister borisjohnson trumpeted an agreement for qatar to invest up in sectors from cyber security to life sciences. this tiny country has both the cash and energy we want. like it or not, our relationship with qatar seems set to become even closer. thanks forjoining us. as we mentioned earlier, there was a stunning win for saudi arabia against argentina, one of the favourites for the cup, but the saudis surprised everyone with the resilience they showed, as our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. they've turned the world cup upside down. a day of saudi celebration after one of the biggest shocks the tournament has ever seen. the rank outsiders were up against one of the favourites — argentina and the mighty lionel messi. and when he converted an early penalty, it seemed business as usual. commentator: of course it's him in the headlines already. _ but come the second half, come a quite extraordinary turnaround. al shehri. .. ..has equalised for saudi arabia! how their supporters enjoyed that. but even better was to follow. a moment of pure magic

williamson is, of course, former defence secretary, former education secretary, was sacked by borisjohnsonnak became prime minister. he is now a minister in the cabinet office. the sunday times has obtained texts he sent to a woman, wendy morton, who was then the chief whip, in charge of party management when liz truss was prime minister shortly after the queen died. in it, gavin williamson appears to be upset he is not getting any of the government's allocation to funeral tickets to go to the funeral, he accuses wendy morton of rigging that allocation. in a series of texts that the sunday times got hold of, he warns wendy morton not to push him about, he says there is a price for everything, there are a few we cannot quote because of the language in it. and wendy morton complained to the party about these texts. what is making this situation even more uncomfortable for the prime minister, rishi sunak, is we now know he was told gavin williamson was the subject of a complaint before he put him into government, so he made that decision afterwards. 0n the same day he stood on the steps of do

finally, briefly, he said| it was great we had boris johnson it was great we had borisjohnson there asquite a lot of criticism about that and people saying that he should be going to cop for the reason that tackling climate change can equally be tied into the sort of economic challenges, tackling the energy crisis at home and pushing for renewable energy sources is an important part of that and he has accepted that and said that in his words today but what is interesting is you might think that the statements from —— about boris johnson were through slightly gritted teeth, because what you have here is rishi sunakflying to egypt and being question mostly not about climate change but about immigration, suella braverman, about gavin williamson, so pursued by domestic questions about the handling of his cabinet, while boris johnson has been able to take the stage and discuss climate matters, as a former prime minister, he would have to answer those difficult questions. as that conference gets under way, climate change activists here brought england's busiest motorway to a standstill this

there has been particular criticism of borisjohnson there are a lot of questions still to be asked, becausebout, which chamber is the most important. there are questions to be asked, and i don't think we can underestimate how radical a constitutional change this would be. but we also have to remember that this is not the first time that this kind of thing has been suggested. and this might be another issue where if labour did come to power at the next election, it might go the same way. a shooting at a gay nightclub in the us state of colorado has killed five people and injured at least 18. a statement by the q club in colorado springs said it was devastated by what it calls a hate attack. at a news conference, the police chief of the colorado springs police department, gave more details about the incident. initial evidence and interviews indicate that the suspect entered club q and began shooting people inside. at least two heroic people inside. at least two heroic people inside the club fought with the suspect and were able to stop the suspect and were able to stop the suspect from contin

let's speak to stanleyjohnson, father of the former prime minister borisjohnson, and who himself wasten an article saying matt hancock could win the competition, is the rehabilitation working then? i think he is on a kind ofjourney of redemption, although precisely what he is being redeemed from needs to be established, but he is on that journey. i think people watching that film, watching it day after day, i have seen him now on three occasions, he burrowed in and came out of the tunnel, he did this thing called tentacles of fear and got 12 stars then he went to... i think there is a case here that he is working something out. i think people that are watching in the jungle and possibly those who are watching outside are beginning to understand that. i personally didn't go on to make a political point, i am an environmental campaigner but i do believe in working through the political process because i was delighted when he went into the jungle because i was horrified when the government to put forward this plan to scrap heaven knows how many regulations which means you probably won't

there's been particular criticism of borisjohnson in that he appointed evgeny lebedev, a newspaper editorin order to curry favour with them that they can go to the house of lords, but then urging them not to resign from theirjob as an mp in order to not trigger a by—election. so, there have been a few controversies, and that seems to be what has prompted keir starmer to say that these changes are needed. so, how exactly would it work under labour's proposed changes? i think there's a lot of questions still to be asked, because we are being told, labour is saying, that they would have an elected that they would have an elected chamber, but we don't know what form of elections they would use, and clearly, this chamber is secondary to the house of commons, where we already elect mps, and they would then be questions about, well, which chamber is the most important. so, there's questions to be asked, and i don't think we can underestimate how radical a constitutional change this would be. but we also have to remember that this is not the first time that this kind of thing has been suggested.
