gb news political editor christopher hope has caught up with former culture secretary nadine dorries.dhat are three individuals who all behaved with integrity during the last government. they didn't try to undermine any prime minister they served under. they always acted with professionalism and i think any one of those three candidates has already proved themselves to be the kind of person who would put the party first before self—interest. and so you know, i'd be happy with any one of those. >> you update your book, the plot coming out called called downfall in november. >> what's it about? >> what's it about? >> so it's a follow on from the plot. so much continued to happen and i was given so much information. you know, i did not want to write this book, but i was in a position where i had so much information, i just had to do it. and some of it, i think people perhaps should know before they decide on who the leader is. but i didn't think that was fair to the party. so the book comes out on the 21st of november. >> who's the person least tainted by all the plotting? >> no, no, loo

our political editor , christopher political editor, christopher hope. uld you sum up where we are this year on october 7th, 2024? >> morning. well, that's the big question. morning. isabel, too. i mean, in terms of politics for the uk, for westminster, it looks it looks a difficult day for keir starmer. they've got this new person in morgan mcsweeney replacing sue gray. of course she left at the weekend. i mean she's somebody who few viewers or listeners need to have heard of, but it almost summarises the chaos this government has been through, i think since it came into power back in july . there's almost no back in july. there's almost no no news planned. we're told, until october 30th. so morgan mcsweeney wants to hit the ground running. this new chief of staff and get a grip on this government and give it some discipline. i mean, why the wider issues? it'll be a big day, i think, on foreign affairs and house of commons with that transfer of sovereignty of the chagos islands last week announced. and that will be the tories are pushing for debate, as c

let's get the thoughts, shall we, of our political editor, christopher hope, in all of this, and alsoyou know, we've got rid of sue gray, we've got morgan mcsweeney at the helm, and now there are questions about whether or not he's got a woman problem. and it's not the first time that's been levelled at him . been levelled at him. >> that's right. all morning and morning, isabel here from downing street. yeah. yesterday we asked the pm's spokesman that exact question. does the pm have a woman problem? by which we mean, of course , lots of lads mean, of course, lots of lads around him and not enough high level senior female colleagues. after sue gray was forced out over the weekend, the spokesman said i wouldn't accept the characteristic at all. you can see from the appointments the pm has made to strengthen his team so they don't accept it, but are still being made about this team around the prime minister. now the cabinet is gathering now. steve read , the environment steve read, the environment secretary has just arrived. shabana mahmood , the justice shabana mahmood, the justice se

water between him and his leadership rival, robert jenrick, who told gb news political editor christopher hopeuch lower than 100,000. >> bring back this. this net, net 100,000 a year. migrant arrivals , arrivals, >> yes, but go significantly further. what i'm saying is parliament should set that number. i think it should be in the tens of thousands or lower. >> right. okay. so tonight i am asking should we introduce a legal migration cap of 100,000, or is that still too high? going head to head on this now are the reform uk mp rupert lowe and the political adviser pablo ohana . political adviser pablo ohana. shapps. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. now rupert is 100,000 net too high? >> well, patrick, every target that we've been told is going to be met by all the various parties since tony blair opened the floodgates in 1997. >> they've never adhered to them. the point is not the target. they should be now very limited, targeted immigration. they don't mention the word targeted. we want people who are going to contribute to our economy. we've got far too many low skill peop

political editor christopher hope. christopher, we've just.hrown to the wolves in order to just have somebody take the flack for the expenses, sort of scandal, you might call it . it. >> hi, andrew. hi, beth. well, you might think that. i mean, i think that this issue here with sue gray, many viewers and listeners won't know who she is, and nor should she, but she's a symptom. i think, of a failure by the prime minister, sir keir starmer, to get a grip on this new administration. it marks 100 days next month . there was a bit days next month. there was a bit of a pace behind the government, wasn't there in those sitting days in parliament back in july. but they lost the grip on the whole parliament, on the whole news operation through august. and ever fair. and they've failed to re—establish that after the battle of the rows about the claims. he's the money he's been given the spectacles, the suits and the and the free use of flats. and it's a real, a real issue for this government. i think the issue of lack of a news, there's no plan news bet
