why isn't david cameron happy? boris johnson is seen as someone who might take on david cameron for the crown, to be the leader of the conservative party and perhaps even the prime minister of the country. a scary thought for some but tonight, it does not seem that outrageous. >> let's start with boris johnson's popularity and what it might mean for david cameron. how likely is it that in the future, this man might lead the conservative party, or would he attempt to do that? >> it is a lot more likely. at some point, david cameron, right now as a prime minister, as a leader of the conservative party, but at some point, he will no longer be the leader. he will no longer be the prime minister. he will either be voted out of office or he will be ousted by his ministers. all political careers end in failure. what will the conservative party decided to do? they don't want to go to the dark days, we're thinking 1997 when tony blair came to power. those stark years for the conservatives afterwards and they did very badly.

. >> david cameron is dragging down the party and the rest of britain. suspect this is all to settle the question of the next tory leadership election. >> this election is about what forest johnson is doing right and how far he can go. >> and it has been -- >> because he is boris. like many may rallies across the world, it is a personality contest. it is not about the politics. he is not seen as a conservative by most people. he is seen as boris johnson. you either buy into that or you do not. that allowed him to buck the trend. for david cameron, the prime minister, there is a little bit of concern there because he is looking at the country as a whole. he sees huge losses over 400 council seats lost by the conservatives. 801 by the labor party for the main opposition party at the -- 800 won by the labor party for the main -- for the main opposition party at the moment. boris and johnson increasingly is seen as an heir apparent, somebody who might go after david cameron for the leader. it may be a scary thought for some, but one that does not seem that o

most of them have been kept by gordon brown and david cameron. and other people got up to all sorts of stuff. there's no doubt about that. and part of politics is part of life. i tried to control at the center. i tried to keep a grip of things. but the reality is there are hundreds of people out there the whole time who -- anybody who works on downing street in the eyes of a journalist is a senior downing street source. anybody who works in the home office is a senior home office source. i think we did a pretty good job in having proper coordination at the center, but it's very difficult to maintain that. >> mr. powell points the finger of blame in a particular place. he says "it's the special advisers like the damian o'brieens, charlie wheelers, and ed balzes, not -- who specialize in character assassination through the pages of the newspapers. what always surprised me was that the assassins managed to persuade the press to keep quiet about their activities. however many incriminating e-mails or texts they sent." >> that's a very good point. in

and that's why, there's david cameron now, he's the prime minister. he has his own media team. i don't think george osborn is -- someone like boris johnson, i'm not saying this is going on, but if boris johnson and the people around him want to be briefing the press in a way to undermine cameron, they can do that and they know the journalists aren't going to drop them in it because it's too good a story to them. we had that in relation to some of the people that will work for gordon brown, no doubt. sneests by the end of your time in downing street, mr. campbell, prurp somewhat jaded it may be fair to say mr. blair points out, page 3z 01-302 of his book. alastair was getting exhausted and ratty and getting set upon by the media whom he was coming to loath. he was therefore not handling quite right. well, i understood the bit about the handling quite right but you were coming to loath them? >> not all of them. i was coming to loath -- well i had come to loath the culture that i've set out in my statements. there were some individuals that i had come to loath. i had come to loath

david cameron was forced to call this inquiry a year ago, and it was both to really purge all the worries about phone hacking and the powers that the murdoches had over british politics, but the danger for david cameron is it's just unearthing all this sort of informal machinery of government. it shows that they were quite chummy emails and text messages between news corporation on the one hand and government ministers. now, dade cameron would say, well, what matters at the end of the day is did ministers act right or wrongly. the danger, of course, in politics is the perception of it, and is the perception that a cabinet minister just got too close to this very powerful corporation? >> well, questions are still going on and the answers are coming with, and we'll keep across that. thanks very much for that. i should say that this is a complex case. the inquiry has been running week after week after week, and we've got a backup for you on all of that on the website, bbc.com/news, so that you can peruse at your leisure to get a sense as to where the inquiry seems to be heading. of course, w
