the minister and leader of the ruling conservative party decided to hold early elections now as if it were a gift he is giving it to the labor party sooner rather than later. what happened to this defeat that is likely to happen? nish sonek decided to hold early elections in the name of god. greetings to you and the viewers. maybe we should go back a bit when we want to follow up on this discussion. at the beginning, when the conservative party took power in 2000 , many crises are now caused by some of them and others. he is involved with it because of what is happening in the world. the first problem he deals with is the debt crisis, which happens in the framework of economic issues and as a result there are situations in scotland where they raise the issue of termism, even a referendum is held, but what happens in the end is that none of these issues prevent the conservative party from continuing its power. . one of the things that happens in the following years is that the conservative party decides to cover some of those domestic and economic debates by raising the issue of brexit

the minister and leader of the ruling conservative party decided to hold early elections, and now it seems as if he is giving a gift to the labor party earlier , what will happen to this defeat that is likely to happen? sunak decided to hold early elections in the name of god. hello, to you and the viewers, maybe we should go back a bit when we want to follow this discussion from the very beginning when the conservative party took power in 2010, the crises now, some of them are caused by him, and some of them are due to the events that are happening in the world. it happens that they raise the issue of idioms, even if it is held in the form of a referendum, but what happens in the end is that the conservative party can continue its power. one of the things that happens in the following years is that the conservative party decides that by raising the debate brexit and leaving the european union actually cover some of those domestic and economic debates , and in the continuation of that debate, it can actually lead the society in a direction that distracts them from the economic issues

stood on a conservative manifesto, the conservative party didn't. ot to find a way to recapture those 5 million people who voted for reform and bring them back into the conservative family. it's not a given. reform may keep them reform may keep them and build on them. if we don't do that as a political party and the right remains divided, you will effectively have a labour government forever, or a left wing government forever . i don't wing government forever. i don't think that's what britain wants. so it does seem to me, whoever the next leader of the party is, they need to find a way to heal they need to find a way to heal the conservative family, bring reform voters, maybe even the reform party to, together with the conservative party and recapture that that spirit, that buccaneering spirit of entrepreneurial ism, a belief in britain, patriotism that i think is missing from our current government. >> but i transfer what you just said. >> they're quite arrogant, this nofion >> they're quite arrogant, this notion that it's kind of it's the tories or

mean, the focus has been there for a while, but not just talking about who could be the next conservative partyhey are talking about what will actually be there of the party to rebuild and reshape. who will be actually left? if the polls are correct, if some of the polls are correct, looking at a situation where a lot of the party infrastructure won't be there. you won't have eventually a party chairman, you won't have these really senior figures, the chairman of the 1922 committee, the governing body of the conservative party in the parliament, who is stepping down at the election. there are a lot of places that will have to be filled, a lot of decision-making that just hato proceed, frankly. and that is behind the scenes. what is cus in mind is to look ahead to friday. lewis: indeed. anna, mark, thank you both very much. we will be back with you in just a moment. going to talk other parties in the election. around the world and across the u.k., this is bbc news. lewis: this is bbc news. a second reform u.k. candidate has defected to the conservatives, saying the vast majority of other candida

what is your vision for the conservative party.7 >> well, jacob, my vision for the conservative partyt i think we all share, which is to be conservative again. and frankly, we failed . let's be frankly, we failed. let's be honest with ourselves. the last few years. we failed to deliver. we failed to achieve the aims that you and i championed as much as we could in parliament and in government at different points. and we failed to do things like bring migrant numbers down, bring taxes down and deliver that conservative agenda that we know makes this country prosper. and my vision is that we should actually deliver. i've got a track record of doing that as you know, delivering on operations in afghanistan and iraq as a soldier, delivering in parliament, changing the policy. as you know, on china, on russia and on iran, which, as you also know, got me sanctioned for the privilege. and then most recently as a minister, changing in your piece in the telegraph, you emphasise trust. >> yeah. and that we broke trust with the british people because we didn't do what we said we would do. but yo

over the direction of the conservative party. indeed, there will be, this is also, we should say, a historic humiliation for the conservatives and their leader findings where she's so that he is now on his way to see king charles to resign. let's see if we can have a listen to what he said before. he set off the good morning. i will surely be saying his majesty the king to also my resignation as prime minister to the country. i would like to say 1st and foremost, i am sorry. i have given this jolts my own. but you have sent a clear signal to the government of the united kingdom must change, and yours is the only judgment that matches. i have heard your anger, your disappointment, and i take responsibility for this loss to all the conservative candidates and campaign is who worked tirelessly. but without success. i'm sorry that we could not deliver all your assets because of as it pains me to think how many good colleagues, the contributions so much to their communities and our country will now no longer sit in the house of commons. i thank them for that holiday. and that's of this. f

i mean, aaron, what is the point of having two conservative parties ? conservative parties? nt, isn't it? you've kind of got the conservative answer that question. >> the point of having having two conservative parties is keep the labour party in office. >> sorry, peter. we're going to go to theo chikomba. who is outside the cemetery in enfield where this manhunt continues, theo, bring us the latest . theo, bring us the latest. >> well, in the last few moments, hertfordshire police have confirmed that a man who was wanted in connection with the triple murders has been found here at this cemetery. you may just be able to see behind me. there's a police officer here. and in the last hour or so, we saw an ambulance leave . a so, we saw an ambulance leave. a number of police officers, armed officers as well. and this is following the extensive search. they've been carrying out since yesterday. after the incident occurred in bushey, which is around half an hour drive from here in enfield. and they have been working tirelessly and this evening have confirmed that he has been found.

conservative party from today. well, es, thank conservative party from today., thank you very much _ conservative party from today. -ii yes, thank you very much indeed. there is a very significant challenge, this has been a landslide election. in the first task for the conservative party, i would say, is to recognise that fact and acknowledge it and, in some sense, own it because this is a moment for profound reflection on why voters have voted as they have done and what that means and how the conservative party can, as it were, remould itself to party politics. i think the central factor right now is just trying to find a way with so few mps comparatively to be the opposition that the conservatives want to be. i opposition that the conservatives want to be— want to be. i am not sure about that. i want to be. i am not sure about that- ithink— want to be. i am not sure about that. i think there _ want to be. i am not sure about that. i think there are _ want to be. i am not sure about that. i think there are plenty . want to be. i am not sure about that. i think

we spoke to him earlier about what he does next and the future of the conservative party . the conservative party. and we'll also be joined by england legend and a hero of mine, peter shilton, to talk about wednesday's euro semi—final with netherlands. get in touch with your thoughts on tonight's topics by visiting gbnews.com/yoursay. but first, here's the news with polly middlehurst . middlehurst. >> martin, thank you and good evening to you. well, the top story from the gb newsroom tonight is that downing street has admitted this summer will be challenging for the new labour government as the first boatful of migrants since the general election crossed the english channel. this morning, a group of around 64 illegal migrants was intercepted by a border force vessel and taken to a migrant processing centre in dover harbour, and this afternoon another boat also attempted the same crossing from france. it brings the total number of migrants crossing so far this year to more than 13, and a half thousand. that's up 12% on the same time last year. and it comes after sir keir starmer announced th

let's look at what is next for the conservative party. r keir starmer and caroline slocock, former private secretary to conservative prime ministers margaret thatcher and john major and the director of the think tank civil exchange. sam, you worked with a keir starmer in his early years. he has travelled a very, very long way in a relatively short space of time, and when you started working with him probably in the early days of the pandemic, did you ever think he could win with such a massive majority in one go?— could win with such a massive majority in one go? well, i went to work for keir _ majority in one go? well, i went to work for keir starmer _ majority in one go? well, i went to work for keir starmer three - majority in one go? well, i went to work for keir starmer three or - majority in one go? well, i went to work for keir starmer three or four| work for keir starmer three or four days after he got elected leader of the labour party and at the time, my motivation was i thought we had had a longer period of really poor governmen

those four will then have the opportunity to make speeches to the conservative party membership at their's in early october. after that, conservative mps will then whittle it down again to two, and then conservative party members will have the final say. so it's a long process but conservative mps have clearly decided that they'd rather take their time in the hope of getting it right. the government is to hold its first formal talks withjunior doctors in england later — in a bid to resolve the long—running dispute over pay. it follows a meeting between the health secretary, wes streeting, and the british medical association last week. mr streeting said both sides have shown a "willingness to negotiate", but that ending the dispute would "not be easy". earlier our health correspondent nick triggle gave us the latest. negotiators from the government and the british medical association will be sitting down very soon to start these fresh pay talks. these are first that have taken place since the end of last year. wes streeting willjoin them this afternoon, i understand, and they will meet ag

and i wanted to talk about the conservative party in crisis. yes.om suella braverman in my sunday telegraph... yes. ..who has managed to nutcracker rishi sunak by blaming him before the election. she's now blaming him after the election and clearly launching or relaunching her leadership bid. so where do you two experts think this leaves the leadership? and before you answer, can i tell you the bit of gossip i loved in the papers today? what was that? in the sunday times, rishi sunak will stay till the end ofjuly and james cleverly will be a caretaker leader whilst the contest goes on, with a meeting on monday to discuss the rules and duration of the contest. that was new gossip, i thought. well, laura and i were both standing in downing street when rishi sunak made his last speech as prime minister, and he said he would remain as conservative party leader until the process for selecting his successor is in place. i think at first blush that sounded to some people like he was saying he would stay until his successor was in place, but it was not that

>> first thing is the conservative party need to be conservative. again.d have got us more vote share and more seats. i mean, so you need to be unambiguously pro—brexit. you need to apologise for the fact that taxes and spending are the highest that we've ever seen in our lifetime. you need to be anti—regulation not just in rhetoric, but in action. unfortunately, after 14 years of conservative government we find ourselves in a country that is less conservative than when the conservatives first came to power in 2010. that's a very tncky power in 2010. that's a very tricky proposition. but there was no apology for it. so the conservatives now need to get back to being a low tax, low regulation party with secure borders and mean it. okay. >> but voters clearly want money to be spent, don't they? they want more money for potholes. they want more money for the health service. they want more money for the armed forces. how do you square that circle of providing the public services? voters are clamouring for whilst cutting the taxes? that gets the economic growth

and i think we need to see the conservative party returning to conservative values , returning to conservatives, principles and ideas. the party has shifted more to the centre ground under rishi sunak. that's how alienated i think a lot of conservative voters. many went to reform, many stayed at home. this is certainly a party in a real sense of crisis. but i think it can rebuild itself. it can go through a period of regeneration. it needs the right leadership if it moves. i think, to the left, as some are advocating. i think that would be disastrous for the party if it moves rightwards and rediscovers its thatcherite, churchillian, you know, roots. i do think that it can be a very successful party. again, if you look at the labour vote, just 35. that's not exactly a massive endorsement. and i do think the conservatives can, can come back five years from now. but but they cannot continue the kind of sunak style wet , you know, sunak style wet, you know, politics that we've seen in some ways listening to what keir starmer has said today, i want to be a government for all the people, not just th

i think the bi est conservative party now? i think the biggest challenge _ conservative party now?challenge is going - conservative party now? i think the biggest challenge is going to - conservative party now? i think the biggest challenge is going to be - biggest challenge is going to be rebuilding and bringing together the different factions, but making sure that we look towards the future as a party, ratherthan that we look towards the future as a party, rather than looking at recriminations for how this happened. recriminations for how this happened-— recriminations for how this happened. recriminations for how this ha ened. �* ., i. ~ ., recriminations for how this ha ened. �* ., ~ ., happened. and do you think that has been the case _ happened. and do you think that has been the case so _ happened. and do you think that has been the case so far— happened. and do you think that has been the case so far customers - happened. and do you think that has been the case so far customers have| been the case so far customers have we heard recriminations, or do you think from speaking

it's just that people don't feel the conservative party represents those views. and i think albie's point was very interesting about if we don't have a conservative leader before november, will nigel farage take over as the spokesman of the right? it's going to be very, very interesting. it is a long time to wait. so. >> so why are they why are they leaving the leadership contest until after tory conference? because surely you want to go into conference with a new leader, new energy and kind of, you know, get everyone buoyed up? why are they leaving it so late? >> well, i think because if you wanted a leader crowned before the conference, it would be a very quick contest and it would be taking place over the summer. and people feel, given the scale of the defeat, the party needs to have longer to take stock and give the new potential leader opportunity to talk. so we'll see. but i think what could be difficult is if the four people chosen by the conference mps then choose a different two to what the membership want. >> well, the members, according to the daily tel

the reason i came on your programme, laura, is because i care about the conservative party, i've beenarty since 1997 when i was 16 years of age and i have been with it through thick and thin. i want to ensure that it has the right diagnosis of what has gone wrong, and that diagnosis is not about personalities, it is about principles and ideas, not individuals. let's talk about in principle. with respect, i think it's clear to most of our view is that to most of our viewers that you and victoria atkins are both partly hit because you have partly here because you have ambitions and you want to at least be considered to be in the running for the party leadership. i think our viewers will know that very clearly, even though both of you are being coy this morning. do you believe in principle that you might have what it takes to be party leader? i am honestly not going to get into that because that is self—indulgent. i think the first step for the party is to have a proper, honest diagnosis about what has gone wrong. does that mean a long campaign, a long handover? i would support a longer

rishi sunak seen heading into conservative party headquarters - party?agues. the rain is coming down outside conservative campaign headquarters this morning, reminiscent of the day rishi sunak announced this general election in downing street. the result has been a disaster for him and now, a new battle begins. the heart of the conservative party. the binmen also came to visit but who will now clear up this political mess? no one has declared that contenders for the leadership might include characters like kenny badenoch, suella braverman or priti patel. perhaps james cleverley, tom to contact, jeremy hunt, seen departing number 11 downing street with his family. no longer to be the chancellor of the exchequer, he only clung on as an mp. fine chancellor of the exchequer, he only clung on as an mp.— clung on as an mp. one of the tensions will— clung on as an mp. one of the tensions will be _ clung on as an mp. one of the tensions will be compared - clung on as an mp. one of the tensions will be compared to i clung on as an mp. one of the l tensions will be

the labour party secured a landslide win after 14 years of conservative rule. armer's labour won 410 seats. that is well above the 326 needed in the parliament with labour on track for the largest majority of any party since the new labour secured victory in 1997 under tony blair. >> the mandate like this comes with great responsibility. our task is nothing less than renewing the ideas that hold this country together. national renewal. whoever you are, wherever you started in life, if you work hard, if you play by the rules, this country should give you a fair chance to get on. it should always respect your contribution and we have to restore that. >> the night delivered historic defeat for the right-wing conservative party now standing at 120. that leaves the party set to record the lowest seat total in its history. where do those seats go? to labour, but some picking up seats from the conservatives, in particular, reform with four seats. we have a new mp in nigel farage. the greens party having a fairly terrific night as well. a lot of suggestion which dominat

the conservative party is at its best when it combines with that respectable, traditional, centrist conservativetre right tendency with the people themselves in those kind of places that we've just lost. that's what the conservative party at its best can do. it won't do that if we just swing straight to aping reform, we have to bring those voters back to where we are, and that means ourselves moving in a direction towards them. >> jacob, final word to you. we've got about 30s what happens next for the conservative party? >> what happens next? well, first of all, we mustn't arrogantly assume that voters are piece on a chessboard that we can move according to positions that we make, that we have to win them over by argument. so it's making the policies and it's restructuring the conservative party to make it a good campaigning team. and i'll be talking more about what went wrong after 8:00. >> and now, of course, your jacob rees—mogg unleashed. you're off the hook. you can speak more freely. >> i am, i am the ed balls of gb news. >> wow. now that is a thought to conjure with. thank you very much d

i don't think he will ever join the conservative party. ds it as i'm afraid i do as a complete freak show, the next conservative prime minister, if there ever is one. on the basis of 1997, is not yet even in the house of commons, just as when i entered the house of commons in 1979, the next labour prime minister 18 years later was not in the house of commons when i got elected, and on the basis of 1997, we've got four leaders to go through before we ever get to a contender for the tory premiership. so you discount him . premiership. so you discount him. bofisis premiership. so you discount him. boris is not a member of parliament, so he can't stand, cameron is a member of the house of lords, so he can't stand. we've then got braverman on 8. i ended up in this poll. we've then got braverman on 8. i ended up in this poll . i'm not ended up in this poll. i'm not suggesting that the poll figures are wrong, but what i am saying is this if you add up the don't knows 19, somebody else 6, none of the above 14% add up. add into that. farage is 25, bo

the conservative party?be allowed into the conservative party. well, okay. interesting response to last night's results. and others like suella saying , others like suella saying, actually, if we're realistic, we have to reunite the conservative family . family. >> yeah. no, look, it's a fair question. i think there's a this is the challenge that the party has got to work through over the next few days. and the next couple of weeks, and will play through in this discussion about who's the next leader. i think there's a difference, actually, though, in terms of the issues that nigel has been talking about and has highlighted and has connected with people around, such as immigration, and whether it's been whether we've been able to deliver on that and made promises we couldn't keep and what people care about, want to see in terms of control is not is not necessarily recognising that isn't the same thing as nigel himself, who has spent a lot of time in the last few weeks saying he wants to destroy the conservat

he said he wants to replace the conservative party. is his view, there can't be a role for him in there can't be a role for him in the party. but i will work with anyone who shares my determination to secure our borders and to hold an open borders and to hold an open borders labour party to account for everything they do. >> robert jenrick thank you for joining us here on gb news robert jenrick. now with his summation of what happened last week. >> thank you chris. and my goodness me, could we have just been listening to the next leader of the opposition? well, we'll be dissecting that question after your latest news headunes. headlines. >> 1232 and the top stories from the gb newsroom this afternoon , the gb newsroom this afternoon, just days after the new labour government came into power, the first channel migrants have reached uk waters , gb news can reached uk waters, gb news can reveal. a small boat carrying more than 60 illegal migrants was intercepted by border force officials and brought to dover. dover earlier this morning. t

of the conservative party, she said it is not about left or right but competent grown—up, experiencedc conservative values into practice. she does not believe the idea of conservatism failed in the election, thatis conservatism failed in the election, that is why they ended up with the result they did, she said it was due to politicians who fell out and fell short. despite that she says the party must unite and she talks about putting party unity above personal vendetta. she is a strong character. it was expected she would throw her hat in the rain. she is the first woman to come out in this leadership contest and say she is going to contest and say she is going to contest it. showers widely expected to and she is the latest to join, joining anotherfour to and she is the latest to join, joining another four former home secretaryjames joining another four former home secretary james cleverly. joining another four former home secretaryjames cleverly. robert secretary james cleverly. robert jenrick secretaryjames cleverly. robert jenrick is a candidate, the former secretary and work and

the conservative party last at 250 seats to get only 100. 19 the lived ends are at 71, and nigel fraud was right when populous reform party is in parliament for the 1st time with 4 seats and the scottish national party, the s and p 19 seats to and joining his live now from downing street in london, we have dw correspondents of bird gets most of the very latest bird gets a waiver. going to take power again after 14 years with a, a massive majority. how big of a sea change is this? it is going to be a very big change in that britain is going to return $0.02 left politics. however, it's not. it is a big majority for labor and seeds, but it's really important also to point out that the votes share o uh, only one up just above a little bit less than 2 percent. so actually what it tells you is there is not this massive monday by the british people folk used all my he does have a big majority in parliament so that will allow him to golf on. but i think there is some still some what to do for him in order to win the british people around because his vote chair only caught up by the very, very

conservatives. the all eva had to do was not make any mistakes. so the simple way, but the fee from late from the labor party and the conservative body that does take up all of our time, of course, but we have seen a rise around by immigration parties across europe. do you feel like for you case following thoughts? a look is interesting. if you look at these exit polls, we have the refund policy on 13 seats, which is an a significant presence in the house of commons. however, we've only had 2 results. announce tonight on both those laid the have held onto them. but if you look at the policy that is coming 2nd, it's the reform policy. not the conservatives, the conservative conservatives of being in that place, so elect, hardly will. they make significant things know, but in terms of the folks at it looks like reform could be incredibly popular, but that's quite something. so how does the sports channel translate into actual seats? because we have what we call the 1st pass, the post system. so whoever wins the most, both automatically gets the seats and this is going to be a huge conversation in the wake of t

mep because the conservative party wasn't being conservativeay nigel farage waltzed into the commons and he would say that the reform party only exists because the conservative party once again wasn't being conservative enough , wasn't being conservative enough, particularly on immigration. the runners and the riders to be the next leader, robert jenrick, was on the channel yesterday. he was saying there's no place for nigel farage in the party. suella braverman, however, has a very different message still a divided party. >> well, i think there are different tactical approaches, but the important thing is to reunite the right and i think if we, the conservative party, can unite around properly conservative principles and principles that those who voted for reform recognise as conservative, then we can start to reoccupy that ground. you're absolutely right that the reason the reform party exists is because we allowed them to. we vacated that turf and allowed a competitor, and you don't win elections when that happens. >> can the conservative pa

period, the liberal democrats have not been a government party, although they were in a coalition with cameron, but you understand, now the conservativesappy, that they remained a second party at all, they had a time when they could become a third party for. polls, most of their ministers, as i said, have left parliament, and everyone is incredibly glad that these people are gone, because they are odious people, in general, mostly odious figures in british politicians, anecdotal characters, by the way, well, it's hard to say that about rishasunyk, he is a talented manager, certainly in the economy, he's just not a politician, but when they found out that forest tras lost a deputy... seat, she lost the election, you know, prem prime minister of great britain, it's a shame in general, so there was simply joy of almost everyone, this was applauded by the people who gathered in this hall, and there is one more important point, all this can be said, it was organized, all this madness, so that stop nigel farage, yes nigel farage now, as a result, he was sent to ... parliament, and he was never there when david cameron arranged this whole ref

so vast questions for the conservative party. say not in my view, existential questions for all that's been said, the conservatives have come a clear second are absolutely, unambiguously the official opposition and the ball starts in the court of whoever the next leader of the conservative party is, to try and knock it into shape again. and if they do, voters will come back. that's the nature of politics, an element of that. i agree with that. you know, if you looked at where we were at a week, ten days ago in the polls, an awful lot of people were thinking that reform was going to come second. and the tories third, you know, and the lib dems could be the official opposition. absolutely. yeah >> but the tories archewell reform a lot changed since then, didn't it? i think that i mean, let's be honest, there was a campaign against reform that was absolutely staggering really. i felt reform at last came under some scrutiny . some scrutiny. >> and the longer the campaign went on, the clearer it was that nigel farage doesn't like answe

meanwhile among current conservative party voters , conservative party voters, suella bravermans leadver tugendhat increases to 5. she's also 10% ahead of fellow former home secretary priti patel and former minister of state for immigration robert jenrick. well, in just a moment we'll be speaking to the former deputy chairman of the conservative party, jonathan gullis. but first gb news political correspondent olivia utley. olivia, it's going to get messy, isn't it ? the blame game has isn't it? the blame game has begun, as has the civil war within the tory party. >> well, exactly. >> well, exactly. >> for about two days after the election, conservatives were very contritely saying that they needed to spend a few weeks thinking about it and just not rushing into any decisions, but very, very quickly. actually, we are seeing new potential leaders jostling around on manoeuvres, as they call it, definitely pitching themselves for the leadership. this new poll, this exclusive poll by jl partners for gb news, it's good news for suella braverman, i suppose, and that she is technically the p

seen as a foreign secretary, he is a strong politician, he decided that great britain, the conservative partyain for money. the danger from the populist independence party led by nigel farage and that these supporters of britain's exit from the european union can take away votes from... the conservatives, and he decided to ride on this agenda, to say that the conservatives themselves will treat the european union more harshly and will even hold a referendum on membership in the european union, which was not necessary, there was no legal necessity at all, but the cameraman had the idea that he would hold a referendum, the british would vote against leaving the european union, farage would... . marginalized and it will be possible to move forward with the song, it didn't happen that way, i thought, and why? and because as soon as this conversation about the european union began, many of those conservatives who were somewhere down there, who were considered marginal, who were considered adventurists, here is a vivid example, this is boris johnson, they realized that their prime time had passed,

the race is on to become the next leader of the conservative party, with two senior figures putting theirom tugendhat, steve baker and damian green lost their seats at the election, but they remain influential within the party and influential within the party and in a joint article published in the telegraph today, they warn the tories mustn't be tempted to veer towards the hard right and should instead select a unifying figure to lead them back into government clouds and cooler weather are back this weekend after yesterday's sweltering conditions brought the hottest day of the year, so far. but heavy rain and bursts of thunder are forecast to hit wales and south—west england today . but if south—west england today. but if you weren't able to get to the beach yesterday, don't worry. some good news. meteorologists say the warm weather could be back just in time for the end of july. and finally, just a bit of breaking news to bring you six time world snooker champion ray reardon has died at the age of 91. that news just into us now here, ray reardon has died at the age of 91, and we'll have
