questions about what mr johnson knew when he appointed chris pincher earlier this year. er who has fallen out with mrjohnson, he has been tweeting today claiming that mr johnson had repeatedly referred to chris pincher as pincher by name pincher by nature long before appointing him. downing street yesterday said borisjohnson appointing him. downing street yesterday said boris johnson wasn't aware of any specific allegations which would prevent him giving him that role back in february. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are the broadcaster and pyschotherapist lucy beresford and joe twyman, director of the polling organisation deltapoll. two more britons captured by russian forces in ukraine have been charged with being mercenaries, according to russian state media. dylan healy, a chef who was volunteering as an aid worker, had been captured at a checkpoint in april. 0n the same day, russia released a video of andrew hill in military uniform

and i think that said, chris, you do talk about conservative values. of course, johnson may have gone but that there is a feeling, but the party itself has been hijacked by right wing populists, such as the european research group or it was a set. johnson may go, but you've still got got both people in the party. yeah, i think there needs to be a bit of a clear out. i think there was some people who came with always johnson, who frankly would not have been serving in any other administration. they were the people who supported him and he gave the job. so i think that it goes a little bit deeper than the prime minister, but honestly, if i look across the party, we have a why number of empties and there is more that, you know, it's the policy than that advice, mostly brakes. it was massively polarizing, but there is a central view. the in that's happened is not going to be in any time soon. and there are debates around tax policy and things like that. those a healthy debate for political party have people's parties, a coalition of different interests. but i think with a st

seemingly precipitated these big desertion is the admission from number 10 that johnson did know of a disgraced m. p. chris pictures previous sexual assault allegations, despite claiming he didn't minutes before his ministers walked. mister johnson went on tv to apologize. i think it was a mistake and i apologize for it. i think in hindsight, it was the wrong thing to do. i apologize. everybody has been badly affected by it . so i just want to make absolutely clear that there's no place in this government or anybody who is predatory or who abuses that position of power the press. the big question is of course what next? although there have been several further junior resignations. the rest of the cabinets sticking by their leader for now at least, given johnson survived to competence last month. disgruntled m. p. 's would have to change the rules to hold another one. but in a year, opposition leader kissed armor coding for elections. we need a fresh start for britain. we need a change of government. this government is collapsing, the tory party is corrupted. and changing one man at the top of the tory part

decided to give chris pincher thejob, johnson decided to give chrisson decided to give chris pincher thejob, he was not johnson decided to give chris pincher the job, he was not unaware of allegations and rumours about his conduct and yet he still went ahead and appointed him. number10 conduct and yet he still went ahead and appointed him. number 10 will say there was no formal complaint at the time, and the cabinet office propriety and ethics team did not step in and say stop. labour are saying this is a huge error of judgment by the prime minister. and that he should have wanted at that point to investigate further and be sure this was the man he wanted to appoint to a job that has a big welfare role. it is notjust about disciplining tory mps. it is an importantjob in the tory party and yet borisjohnson thought his friend chris pincher should get thatjob. the fact we are still talking about this six days after chris pincher stood down from his post shows i think perhaps number 10 are not handling this in a way that is closing the story down. thank y

the pace at which johnson supportive operated was astonishing the chris pincher affair. and what johnson knew about previous sexual misconduct congregations against the m. p. was a scandal too far? by thursday morning, the number of resignations had passed 50 and counting. as an old westman the saying that a week is a long time in politics. we're currently that unit of measurement seems quaintly inadequate. try an hour, maybe 5 minutes. and there are many conservatives for whom speed has become vitally important. they don't want forrest johnson hanging around for months until a replacement is found. they want him gone. now, george freeman, for example, who resigned as science minister? sadly, he carries with him a huge magnetic field force of instability and it's disruptive and divisive. and it's been a strength, as a campaigner, it's been a huge weakness as the prime minister in the government as the last few weeks a month showed. so who will be the next prime minister, m p 's would like to feel reduced to, to within a couple of weeks, some already throwing their hats in

chris pincher has resigned and boris johnson wants to move on.wn mps are not allowing him to do so. two former ministers have written to the chief whip today saying the serious reputational damage being done to the party over this and more generally, they are calling for a new code of conduct to be imposed on conservative mps. although the prime minister would like to move on, questions are being raised about how he puts his own party in order. thank you. iain watson. the latest figures for covid—i9 in the uk show another big rise in infections in the last week — they�*re up by almost a third. our health editor hugh pym joins me now — hugh, a big jump in the numbers? that is right. this survey by the ons involves regular testing of households and is seen as the most authoritative guide. the headline is 2.3 million people in the uk had the virus last week, up 32% week on week. pretty significant but still only about half what it was in late march. scotland had the highest rate in the uk. hospital numbers, in england, this is the latest data, nearl

but that's what has been talked about in some of the papers tonight is that boris johnson himself had a nickname for chrisves rise to the suggestion that it was a very widely known among certain individuals as to what kind of behaviour was being talked about. and again, it makes it very difficult for borisjohnson to step away, to step aside from this particular story. away, to step aside from this particularstory. if away, to step aside from this particular story. if we then start to become a link to it in terms of the fact that he knew what was going on. in the fact that he knew what was going on. ., , the fact that he knew what was going on. . , ,., , ., on. in the telegraph saying in that article on friday, _ on. in the telegraph saying in that article on friday, downing - on. in the telegraph saying in that article on friday, downing street | article on friday, downing street said that the prime minister was not aware of, quote, any specific allegations relating to chris pincher before the appointment was made to the role of deputy chief whip. made to the role of deputy chief whi -. , ., made to the r
