i am so looking forward to launching conservative way forward.hat i've assembled and the breadth of the party that it covers, and the extent of our agreement and the joy of the vision that we are going to present, i am so excited about showing it to you. and all this old nonsense about angry tory right—wingers will pale away and fade and no—one will care about it when we do what we are going to do. steve baker, thanks very much forjoining me again on political thinking. you're very welcome. he could hardly have been clearer. it looks like being checkmate for borisjohnson, he said. the game, though, if it is a game, is very far from over, notjust over the prime minister's continued leadership but perhaps over who follows him and what type of conservatism it involves. what is clear is that one of the key players will be steve baker. thanks forjoining me on political thinking. hello there. high pressure has been dominating the weather story just recently, but there are some subtle changes as we go through the day. just want to point out to you first

conservative side. recovery in reassertion depend on our being more persuasive and successful to shape the next generation. by the way is not quite a coincidence the book can be read forward and backward the text is framed white concentric circles where the first and last of the nine chapters are the broad contours of the cultural crisis. the second and next-to-last are about personal formation third and seventh politics and civil society and the fourth and sixth about media and social media and the middle chapter, the fifth chapter at the heart of the book is the heart of the case about the university. and it is not by coincidence that the university is at the core of the argument. i will close with this because let's return to isi essential work there at the center of the crisis because it's a source of a lot of our most terrible ideas. this is a crisis of terrible ideas. at the center because where we are formed in the crisis of you the formation but also because of what the university can and must be a place to understand ourselves. as human beings in citizens and individuals and as a nation. the ideal means university is something to fight for. not just fight against

invasive and canyon conservation is richard lee key, who helped to prove that humans evolved in africa as dies ah ah, look forward to pearly to skies. with sponsored my cattle at ways last year ended this year started across a good part of here. pretty mild to be honest, new think from the way the classes moving. it will stay that way. the west winds coming from the west, north from the north, but it won't. there is a change on the horizon dot immediate for today and tomorrow, a good part of central, some your it will be enjoying this sort of weather full plus degrees above average . this stretches from spain well across the balkans and through it's lead up through france. but the change is obvious from this line. it is a cold front and now starting to move south was behind. it will eventually reach, i think the northern part of italy. but it won't be on monday. you'll start to show itself on tuesday. in fact, the rain tends to snow the higher ground, the colder ground in spain, in the pyrenees, dividing spain from france. this is rain here because eventually things will happen . it western austria as an example, innsbruck goes down to sub 0, weather with snow fall

forward? it helps to divide people or if you want to look at it the other way it shows are divided. they are, they're not convincing a single conservative or republican or trumps of order that january 6th was a dark day. they're not convincing that too many people i know were there and had told me all about what happened. and i've seen in the little video that i've been allowed to see via anti fine b o m guys walking around the very young people in the dark closing. with the extremely heavy, suspicious looking backpacks. you see them and then you look on winter and facebook and you see posts of pictures of them bragging about. having been there to counter protest against the trump fascists. and glad to have been causing trouble. in fact, some of them were worried they might be nice or they were wearing from year from patterson, from church and pretending to be trumps a quarter. so a lot of false flag left wing activity going on on the 6th. and i think that's responsible for most of the violence, but the main thing is it wasn't a big deal. there was probably hundreds of thousands of people there. and maybe a couple of 100 idiots went int

suggestion william wragg put forward that some mps had been told if they did not vote a certain way, they would have funding withdrawn from their constituencies, and the former conservativeey were voting for free school meals, that he would not get the money for a high school in his constituency. these are pretty serious allegations that have been made. the committee on standards — that have been made. the committee on standards in _ that have been made. the committee on standards in public— that have been made. the committee on standards in public life _ that have been made. the committee on standards in public life didn't - on standards in public life didn't report about four years ago, i think, looking at intimidation and one recommendation was that government political leadership should call it out wherever it existed. what downing street said today is, we have seen no evidence of it. have they given any indication of whether they are actually looking to see evidence? i think the spokesman for downing street declined to say if there are going to go looking on the application is that they are not. however, what they have said is that if they are presented with evidenc

way forward on that. on managing the pandemic, another big issue for the president, we expect him to talk about it because last week the supreme court conservativedate that applied to employers with 100 or more workers. we expect for the president to present a plan on how he wants to go forward with managing the pandemic. of course those are two things, but on other things like the record level of inflation that this white house is facing, of course, russia and russian relation, and, of course, the president's sinking poll numbers are all things that we expect the president to address here. so it is a long list for president biden on wednesday when he marks one year in office with the press conference, really as he tries to turn the page and move forward with this agenda. boris and christi? >> we will be watching closely. jasmine wright from wilmington, delaware, thanks so much. >>> let's dig deeper. "new york times" white house and national security correspondent david singer with us and politico playbook author rachel bade. thank you for sharing your sunday with us. first to you, president biden set to take questions from the press this week.

courage to step forward, and say, there's never been a black woman on the supreme court, it's time to fix that. he's going to do that. i'm delighted, all the way around. >> conservativesplacement. they didn't seem so worried about qualifications when amy coney barrett was nominated without ever try to case the verdict. what is the right really mean, when they're questioning the qualifications of a woman of color, who might be nominated for this job? >> they are pulling on some discredited old tropes that say, a, a woman is not smart enough to do this job, be, a person of color is not sworn enough to do this job. they are in between the sexism, and the misogyny, and racism, they should be embarrassed. in this america, we have no place for that kind of racism, no place for that kind of sexism. i have no problem calling it out for what it is. i'm not in politics anymore, i'm a grandmother these days. that's exactly what's going on, we should be ashamed of themselves. america is all of that. iran for the american united states senate -- because president bush had nominated clarence thomas to the supreme court. my whole life experience would've been different, had -- not h

forward. no matter what race or ethnicity you are. if we are choosing people at this juncture -- and by the way, are we going to choose based on diversity of thought? conservatives will still have the majority no matter who the democrats put up. and two guys point compass it even worth the fight for republicans to get in the free? >> absolutely, i agree. you don't want to fight this battle because the outcome is very predictable but what you said is so important. but when we talk about where we come from, we are the most advanced society ever. if you have the left playing the race card and people are not -- and and there is no systemic racism in this country. there is no need to give one person left france over another but the democrats use that card to divide this country. that's why joe biden is going to play the race and gender card in this nomination. >> harris: anyone else with a quick question for leo terrel as we head to the top of the hour? >> hi, leo. just a quick final thought on one of justice breyer's most recent cases that had to do with a vaccine mandate where he declines to issue an injunction, where they are in maine, it was about the health care
