patients reached the limit. >> we have also heard extort new reports from inside the house of commonsm opposition mps, complaining about the behavior of government whips in getting conservative mps to vote for them. this is the labor mp. i have never seen scenes like this in the entrance to a voting lobby. tory's in open warfare, jostling. jacob rees-mogg shouting at his colleagues. whips screaming at tory's. two toy whips of dragging people in, shocking. this from an mp, snp mp. the scottish national party wants independence, the third-largest party at westminster. just watch the deputy prime minister practically pick up a hesitant tory mp and march them into the government lobby. astonishing. a similar message from the tory mp. i just witnessed one tory member in tears. these are not coming from opposition mps. you have to take this with that in mind. they would have a reason for encouraging the impression that the government is chaotic, forcing its mps to vote in a particular way. we have not had a formal government response. some mps raised it in the house of commons with the depu

belief we are not all screaming about this, was the public auto bill that was passed through the house of commons just a few days ago by the home secretary the day before she was pushed out of office, like all tory casual iced workers in our economy, as soon as you're done with business, she was checked out. in this public auto bill is the most repressive legislation ever experienced in the u.k. in the modern era and potentially the most repressive legislation in any oecd member in recent times. if you have protested in their previous five years, you can be forced to wear an electronic tag and have your home fitted with monitoring equipment. you can be forced to report to police as and when they choose, forced to stay home, forced not to go to certain places, no longer to associate with friends of yours, no longer allowed to attend any protest or come indeed, talk about attending a protest orncourage anyone else to attend a protest. this is just one of the astonishing draconian measures which has been pushed through right under the radar just before the truss government collapsed. amy: i would as

johnson is under investigation for misleading the house of commons. ctively by not telling the house of commons the truth. that is a very serious offense and i cannot see any return for government for mr. johnson, not just in any prime minister but in any shape or form while the investigation is continuing into a very serious matter. that is why he was removed by his parliamentary colleagues. >> let's suppose that there is a world where boris johnson comes back as prime minister and that committee hearing is continuing. what are the implications of it? >> we are looking for a unity candidate and not a divisive candidate. the conservative party has to rally around whichever of the significant contenders is finally selected not later than next friday in order to enable the chancellor who is not standing for the leadership to present his fiscal statement supported, we hope and trust but the office of budget responsibility. that is the way we shall take not just the party, but the country out of the slightly unfortunate circumstances we find ourselves in.

she is the current leader of the house of commons and came 3rd in july's contest. she's a strong performer in parliament, but lacks experience in the top of ministerial jobs. sweller, brothman could also be a candidate. she resigned as home secretary on wednesday after a breach of the ministerial code. and then there's the man who replaced her grant chaps. he backed soon back in the last leadership race. there also media reports that a former prime minister, orest johnson that could run. he stood down after a series of scandals but remains a popular figure among some in the tory party. but more sure, the quarterback is a labor m p. she says a possibility of borrows. johnson, becoming prime minister again, is unacceptable. it would be that was enough. it happened to the british people and to my constituents in but to say he'll say, disgrace, the office of the prime minister. and when we are democracy and i have to say, what does it look like if we allow people to just come back into politics? when they've already broken roles, told life and really brought in a deal o

fate sealed by the resignation of the home secretary yesterday and the chaotic scenes in the house of commonsght as more and more conservative mps voiced their disbelief at what was going on. sir graham brady, the head of the powerful 1922 committee of backbench mps, went to downing street this morning at the request of the prime minister. at 1.30 this afternoon, liz truss emerged outside number ten and announced that she had spoken to the king and told him she was resigning. a new prime minister is expected to be in place by the end of next week. but who will it be? let's go to chris mason. liz truss as prime minister, the fastest, shortest and steepest roller—coaster in political history. she rose to the highest office and then crashed from it in record time, faster than any of her predecessors. crushed and humiliated by the reality of such a short tenure. there is never a more important time in british politics than when you cannot answer the question, he will be our prime minister in a fortnight? today is one of those moments, yet again. lunchtime in downing street and the podium is back,

constitutionally, if they can command a majority in the house of commons they have untiljanuary 2025 out too, in a constitutional sense, legitimately run a government at westminster if they can come in a constitutional sense, legitimately run a government at westminster if they can command a majority in the house of commons but politically that, from sir keir starmer and others for a general election will get louder and louder and louder so what will be the political strategy of the new prime minister? when you speak to conservative mps several senior ones say to me whoever the new prime minister is will have to address that elephant in the room on day one. probably, come to think of it, standing that likes and a few minutes dumped metres behind me —— standing at that lectern a few metres behind me acknowledge there is... say let's have a general election eczema but in the meantime winter is ahead and there is a war in europe and the country faces big challenges but let's carry on for now and that might allow politically conservative prime minister to drag their poll ratings out of t

the thrust of it is whether borisjohnson knowingly misled the house of commons and misled the house ofn throughout that period when there were accusations that downing street broke the rules during lockdown. there is an investigation by the privileges committee, a cross—party group of mps which looks into whether mps have broken the rules with relation to certain privileges they have in the house of commons. deliberately misleading mps are seen as about the worst thing you can do as an mp or a minister in government. if boris johnson were to be found to have done that once the committee comes over all the evidence and writes its report and they suggest he should face a sanction for it, which could potentially see him lose his seat in parliament will be suspended, that would create huge pressure on him to resign. many people say his position would be untenable at that point. as things stand, that report is coming and it will reach a conclusion. so if borisjohnson were to be installed as prime minister again, that would be a huge question hanging over him and a huge hurdle for him to pot

liz truss has already announced that she will not be heading to the house of commons for that. ordaunt will be responding. morning, chancellor. which measures will you be announcing today? a barrage of questions for the new chancellor, who decided the markets could not wait any longer for some answers as he complains of a close the door on the government's mini budget. firstly, we will reverse almost all of the tax measures announced in the growth plan three weeks ago that have not started parliamentary legislation. the basic rate of income tax will remain at 20% and will do so indefinitely until economic circumstances allow for it to be cut. i am announcing today a treasury led review into how we support energy bills beyond april next year. the objective is to design a new approach that will cost the taxpayer significantly less than planned. the mini budget was delivered by the previous chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, on the 23rd of september. it started unravelling on the 3rd of october when the government backtracked on cutting the 45p rate of tax. then on friday the 14th of octo

any other alternative is if the house of commons tables a vote of no confidence in the prime minister. and that's been voted on, but because the conservative hold the majority, that would mean them voting against their own government. so that is incredibly unlike me, but to discuss this with me and for today's event is richard thompson, member of the scottish national party, an shadow of finance. secretary, thank you for joining us festival. what did you make of distresses resignation today is surprising. no. who didn't surprise me, told me norbish for some time that she was in difficulty, that she was terminally unsuited so little that should been frost. and so that should also short on the start of the week, it was clear should the number of hard boots to overcome both internally with a little parliamentary group. and also in terms of everything that was happening during the boat. so and she managed to clip each hard glitch, she went over it so it was no surprise that she, she went down to d. m. i think that the surprise is probably better just lasted so long, because i think the co

and also, to be honest with you, a reflection in the house of commons about business or a sense of thef commons about business is actually bloody hard. it is really hard work to start a business. it's stressful, it's difficult, it takes time, sweat, money, you know, your whole family very often put on the line, you know, and particularly when you're running your own business and can't rely on the paycheque coming in every month. that is a psychology that we have to grasp if we're going to help more people do more of that to build those businesses, that will bring the growth we need. and my sense is that that's fed into the way you've operated as a politician. you're at westminster council for a long time. i think you became deputy leader at one point. for five years i was deputy leader. that council people of a certain age will remember, has always had a reputation for bearing down on spending, for promoting value for money, not without controversy over the years. but did that experience in council shape your view of national politics now, which is to be more demanding about what you g

the leader of the you case, house of commons, penny mordant, has officially entered the fray to become the new prime minister. she's one of the top 3 candidates emerging to replace the very short lived leaderless trust. former chancellor richey soon act reportedly has the backing of more than 50 impedes so far. that would put him half way to the nomination. they need a 100 and piece to back them. and former prime minister for his johnson is also gathering supporters among them. defense secretary ben wallace. you really have to want to do the prime minister to do that job. you have to really, really think it, it's the job for you. for me, i feel that i can add the best value in keeping people safe at defense by being with defense cetera is the issue of the mandate. this will be potentially off. the 3rd prime minister seems to general less than $2900.00. that means we have to think about that, which is the jim c question that the public will be asking themselves, and also about who could win the next election that obviously important for any political party at the time. so at the moment
