i shall stay where i am inside the conservative party, fighting for the sort of conservative party thatle within this country without reflecting on what their needs and concerns are. that isa their needs and concerns are. that is a sort of conservative party i would wish to see and there are many conservatives within the house of commons who feel exactly as i do. it is not the whole of the conservative party who is absolutely obsessed with the question of brexit. it is a portion of the conservative party. former british prime minister sir john major. and you can see the rest of that interview in the bbc‘s hardtalk programme over the weekend. john mccririck, who for many years was the face of british horseracing has died at the age of 79. mccririck‘s eccentric presenting style made him a household name. sarah campbell looks back on his life. the each way sharks and thieves, one, two, three... with his deerstalker hat, wild gesticulations and memorable turn of phrase, for decadesjohn mccririck was the face of racing. you listen to me and got up! he was such a massive figure. he was a marm

he really does need to prioritise bringing the different factions of the conservative party together.s, he isjust going to need to present unity rather than division. paul is convinced he can. i think the party will get behind him, they will have to get behind him because we have had a vote, and election of the members and the members on the ground have decided he is the man. both trevor and peter want the party to get behind the new leader in the hope of resolving brexit. there is a lot of people that voted for brexit and they expected to see something happen, which hasn't happened yet and i don't know whether boris is going to find that easy or difficult, but i suspect it is going to be a very difficult challenge for him. i hope people will support him and try and bring about the change that we need. at the moment i'm a slightly doubting thomas but let's hope it goes well for the sake of this damned country. and it is the whole country that will eventually pass judgment. in loughborough this lunchtime the park—goers and picnickers were digesting the news about their new prime minist

former british foreign minister and one of the leading bright city years was elected to head the conservative party tomorrow he is expected to become the new prime minister and johnson seized his party's leadership in a landslide victory but consider this those conservative party members who hoisted him to power they represent 110th of one percent of the british population and the numbers in parliament they're also small he takes power with a majority of just 2 seats well this is anything but a mandate and that is what johnson inherits from theresa may who spent 3 years as prime minister trying to take britain out of the european union her motto busy was brakes it means brakes it but we now know brakes it meant exit for it's a reason may what will it mean for boris johnson a no deal crash out of the e.u. well no one really knows tonight what we do know is that even in the face of these tremendous challenges johnson knows how to turn a dud into a dude. deliver bricks it unite the country and defeat jeremy corbett and that is it. i know someone who has already pointed out that deliver you night and d

the former foreign secretary and london man is still the conservatives favorite candidate and it's the 160000 party members who decide who wins we are going to get young people voting conservative again although. jeremy hunt knows he's trailing mr johnson in the party polls but the current foreign secretary has done what he can to stay in the race he's even promised to embrace a no deal breaks it. if my judgment is that there is no deal to be done i will immediately cease all discussions with the european union and focus the whole country's mission or no deal preparations he might be presenting himself as the serious candidates but throughout this contest mr johnson has looked like the man who would be given the keys to number 10. ok let's go straight to london now and interviews for a lot of pots joining us there are a lot of good morning boris johnson the overwhelming favorite of course to win the tory leadership and succeed theresa may when will we know for sure and can you give us a timeline on the procedure. good morning brian well the votes have been counted overnight voting closed yesterday

readd ress the conservative party does rea d dress i the conservative party does readdress i think,bsolutely terrifying what is happening in london, and i commend yourcampaign. happening in london, and i commend your campaign. now, when boris johnson was mayor he claims that he made a big difference toe the spike in knife crime that happened while he was mayor. believe there has been some contention to the extent which he was able to help but unquestionably it was the case during his period as mayor, knife crime in london did come down. i think he is taking the seam team with him, the same intent into government and i think that you know, one of the reasons it is so important to get brexit out of the way is there are pressing social problems like this which need to be addressed and it is right that the conservative party, which has been in government as you say for nine yea rs, in government as you say for nine years, should be held to account over this. i am surprised there hasn't been more of an outrage about the knife crime situation. hasn't been more of an outrage about the knif

he gave a thumbs up to the waiting cameras before going inside to meet members of the conservative partyout an hour — before pressing on to the houses of parliament and the party's 1922 committee, where we're told he was greeted with sustained applause and desk thumping. our chief political correspondent vicki young is across the road in the houses of parliament. he got a pretty good reception at the 1922 committee? he did as you would expect but he is still a divisive figure. if you take two exa m ples of divisive figure. if you take two examples of people, once said it was classically boris, the circus has come to town. another said the cloud has been lifted. there is no doubt his style, exuberance and talked of optimism makes mps feel better after the last three years but that is in the last three years but that is in the short—term. in the longer term and not that long way, there will have to be some difficult decisions, especially about brexit and how borisjohnson especially about brexit and how boris johnson can unite especially about brexit and how borisjohnson can unite the count

so i don't worry about the conservative party, i believe the conservative party will believe the conservativelk about the passionately held views on europe and the debates and arguments, the labour party has equally debate and argument about the european issue. as you leave number ten, are you worried about the country and the level of bitterness in our politics right now? well, i think on the brexit issue, the public haven't got that degree of polarisation that exists in parliament. i think what we have seen in parliament is not a reflection of the general public. i think more widely there is an issue for all of us in politics about the way debate on many issues is held, about the way particularly we'd seen some mps being subject to significant harassment, bullying, some really hateful things being said on social media in particular, some of which have led to criminal action, people being charged and prosecuted for what they are doing. we need our politics to be able to debate in a reasoned way. people have different views, let's add those views are reasonably, let's debate the mall at the p

the conservative party has final mr. johnson on that card in the long game of brexit. they think he is popular enough outside of their party to deliver them in certain circumstances a general election victory. it could be that, rather than a no deal brexit without a general election, that that is the scenario britain faces. lib-dems now play a role that could be an important one? if i was joe swensen, i would be taking my own election as leader of the party, celebrating the circumstances of the victory rather more than mr. johnson would be celebrating his. if things go as they are, you could certainly see the lib-dems to be well-placed to take votes from disillusioned conservatives, of whom there will be a lot. mr. johnson got 66% of the voters. that is an electorate in which he is the most popular in the country. if that fan club of mr. johnson is still divided, and that means mr. johnson's position is nowhere near as strong as his supporters are trying to make up. flirting with the liberal democrats but also labor is in such a mess, lots of people thinking that a vote

the vote will be governed by the conservative party's own internal rules, and its ability to police thems made clear on the ballot paper you are only allowed to vote once, and i expect conservative members to follow that. you rightly point out that if people have joined two associations they may get two ballot papers, i get two in elections because i'm on two different sets of electoral registers, it doesn't mean i vote twice — i don't. the conservative party couldn't confirm how many bsllot papers had been sent in error or how they would ensure that all the votes they received were valid. instead, they issued a statement saying, those who vote twice will be expelled from the party. the onus is now on members to vote once for one of the two candidates before the ballot closes on 22nd july. the former head of british intelligence has told the bbc that the uk is going through a "political nervous breakdown". sirjohn sawers has said he's deeply concerned about the calibre of politicians in the uk as the country prepares to leave the european union, criticising both the conservative party an

—— reign. at the moment understandably is on the conservative party -- reign.s, the lib dems and the brexit party. almost all the polls have been first and second, but again, it remains to be seen how for instance the brexit party will translate to westminster seats. even if it never... it almost never worked for ukip, did it? seats. even if it never... it almost neverworked for ukip, did it? nigel farage tried many times. and we have first past the post representation. a bit of light relief from politics, although i say light and it is not light at all. the front of the guardian, the massive burden of alcohol. i sort of think we knew that alcohol abuse was one of the kind of problems that was loading the health service with extra difficulties. what is interesting about this is the actual figures, they are citing that one in ten people in hospital beds in the uk are alcohol dependent and one in five are doing themselves harm by drinking. the interesting thing is to delve deeper in that and to work out what exactly that means. because we we re out what exactly t

the conservative party needs to be more honest and open when it comes to tackling islamophobia accordingcent months over its handling of anti—muslim behaviour in its ranks. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth has been speaking to current and former muslim party members about their experiences — and just a warning, her report contains offensive language. keeping pace with the changing face of britain has at times been a challenge for political parties, and 110w challenge for political parties, and now the conservatives have been accused of failing to tackle anti—muslim hatred in their ranks. the way you look at the family you come from, the ethnic background you come from, the ethnic background you come from, the ethnic background you come from, they tend to judge you on that. this woman is a tory member and former councillor and she says asa and former councillor and she says as a muslim woman she had to work harder to be accepted. as a muslim woman she had to work harder to be acceptedlj as a muslim woman she had to work harder to be accepted. i think it was a judgment that said i

have the ha rd the conservative party but have the hard in brexit or the uk.rty.“ they are infiltrators, one can only assume you believe whatever happens in the leadership election, the only genuine way to put this before the people is to go for a general election before brexit happens? no, i don't think a general election would be the right way it offers several reasons, and for practical reasons for the country. we had a general election we wouldn't get what i think we would need, a government with a clear majority that and determine its policy, argue it in parliament and be able to carried out. if we had a general election, we would get a very fragmented parliament indeed with some very curious people being elected and a government in an even wea ker elected and a government in an even weaker position than this government is at the present time because of its lack of majority. and that is not in anyone's interest and not in the interests of good government in the interests of good government in the united kingdom. the general election would be a really bad

he really does need to prioritise bringing all the different factions of the conservative party togetherer than division. paul is convinced he can. i think the party will get behind him. they have to get behind him, because we've had a vote, and election of the members, and the members on the ground have decided he's the man. in loughborough this lunchtime, the partygoers and picnickers were digesting news about their new prime minister. who, boris johnson? that's the one. he can't make much more mess than what we're already in. i must say, it really concerns me, because i don't feel confident that he understands the whole brexit process. delighted, basically. he seems to be the guy who's going to get us out of this brexit. but it will take more than that to bring his party and the country together. long day at work and don't feel like cooking? no problem. there are plenty of food delivery apps out there that make dinner possible with just a few taps on your phone. but what is it like for the delivery men on the other side of app? new york times reporter andy newman decided to find out b
