back to john major, she were to lose a confidence vote. would not bring down a conservative government with the possibility thatjeremy corbyn, who they really do not like, that he could be prime minister. it simply would not happen. while the tories jumping the gun here, he says? thank you vicky. we know arlene foster has been tweeting after that meeting and we think we might hear some comments from her on camera in the next little while as well. we will bring you that when we get it. let's turn oui’ you that when we get it. let's turn our attention is to paris though. that is the reason theresa may had to leave here. it was the election of the speaker, the re—election of the speaker as it turned out. that's why theresa may had to leave here at a specific time. now of course goes to paris for that prearranged meeting with emmanuel macron. she is in paris for that. let's had their will our political correspondent, tom bateman, is in paris. we know mr macron had invited theresa may here. whether before the election after, downing street did n

control events was dealt a further blow today -- mark: but theresa may's position is more like john major's in the 1990's. his small majority disappeared during the parliament and the , fractious politics meant he was forced to act like a minority government for many years. >> in the john major time, we were not bringing in -- it was by one vote, people coming in on stretchers. we could beat back to those scenes. mark: the former head of the civil service worked at the heart of both major's government and cameron's coalition. >> a coalition is very formal, you've got a coalition agreement, they sit down and talk, they go to the whole program. come to minority, it is much more political deals. made usually in the house of commons, the classic smoke-filled rooms in the 1970's. it was much more ad hoc. >> new legislation will be introduced -- mark: the queen's speech, votes of no confidence -- the democratic union may support to resume through key votes, but everything else will be open to negotiation. civil servants will be urging the prime minister to drop any legislation that might be diffi

john major is saying this is a different circumstance and remember he is a man who knows what it's likea government with a tiny majority when the european union and the eu is ripping your party a pa rt union and the eu is ripping your party apart and it was, frankly, hell for him, for those years, it was a complete nightmare and he knows what potentially is coming and we have seen that, when he talked about brexit, he said there has got to be more collaboration, talk about brexit with other people, not going as far as william hague suggesting a broader commission and looking at other parties, but he certainly does think it's a moment to think again about what type of brexit we are heading for. that is interesting. some of the cars drawing up, which suggests perhaps the dup delegation is about to emerge. let's wait and see the practicalities of a government of theresa may trying to work as a minority government, just to pick up on that, her sense has been because brexit, the brexit negotiations were due to begin soon, there's so much to negotiate, so much that has to be got right, has —

john major had a parliamentary majority. theresa may does not have a parliamentary majority.as nothing to that which theresa may faces which may well make maastricht look like a walk in the park. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. we've already seen temperatures of 31 degrees and it will be the hottest day of the year so far. before you reach 3a it will be the hottestjune before you reach 3a it will be the hottest june day for a0 before you reach 3a it will be the hottestjune day for a0 years. much hotter as well across the midlands, north east england. today we have that sunshine and that makes the difference. we have some cloud formation, and we often get this before big summertime thunderstorms break—out. a clue as to what the weather prospects hold. but for the time being a lot of dry weather around. barely a cloud in the sky for many areas and temperatures pushing up towards 3a. some

john major had no majority in the house of commons when he was prime minister but he would not get inhe dup because he knew how damaging it would be. theresa may comes out on the early hours of friday morning with no sleep, she is straight on the phone to them, she doesn't care. what she cares about insuring up her... power. she cares about how power. the other story on the front page is drop hard exit, demand mps. there will be pressure from all sides, remainers, leave us,... this isa sides, remainers, leave us,... this is a massive problem she has, even with the dup, she has this time majority in parliament and it means every time she comes to parliament with the big vote over brexit, there will be a fraction over one side of the other on her own backbenches who say, i don't like that. if they don't vote for it, she won't get it through. she needs every single one of hermps to through. she needs every single one of her mps to support her. and there is no way you can unify the party on some of those positions. and the robber you've got there is it is not just her own backbench that w

looking john major had to go through with maastricht, looking at what theresa may has to go through withulation relating to brexit, how challenging could this be? good comparison. john major in the early 19905 when he was trying to get parliament to ratify the maastricht treaty, he had a majority of about 20. there5a may doe5 maastricht treaty, he had a majority of about 20. there5a may does not have the majority, 5he of about 20. there5a may does not have the majority, she will be running a minority government. there will be parallels, notjust because we're talking about europe. this will be day by day, night by night, long evening5, trying to get this brexit related legislation onto the statute book. britain depart5 brexit related legislation onto the statute book. britain departs from the eu in march, 2019, it is a big task, lots of regulation had to be transferred onto the uk statute book and there needs to be a new immigration system, a new framework for regulating agriculture, fisheries, the nuclear industry. thi5 fisheries, the nuclear industry. this will take a huge amount of tim

tony blair, gordon brown, i have worked withjohn major blair, gordon brown, i have worked with john majornd david cameron. they would never have ever done such a thing. in which you would actually risk the stability of the political process of northern ireland and the peace process itself. by brokering politics in order to cling on to your office in ten downing street. that was shaun woodward for —— former labour secretary for northern ireland. priti patel has gone into ten downing street, we wait to hear what has happened to her. we have heard that alun cairns has kept his role as secretary of state for wales, so another individual who is staying in the same position. much more on that at five o‘clock and all of the other development of the day but now it is time for the weather with jay wynne. hello, many of us had a decent sunday afternoon, not the case across the south—east of england and the channel islands, this was taken not so long ago by one of our weather watchers injersey. along the south coast, some places were quite agree, they mist in hastings. overall, a blustery evening, s

you are referring to john major, the former prime minister of the u.k., as he was being interviewed withe increasingly getting signs from the conservatives that a softer exit may be in the cards. theresa may had hurt committee meeting yesterday where she had a closed-door meeting with rank-and-file members of the tory party. in this meeting, not only did you take full responsibility for the disastrous election results, saying basically that she was responsible -- saying that she brought the party into this mess and she will get the party out of it, but she also signaled she may be willing to rethink her views on brexit. she has also overseen a bit of a reshuffle in the brexit ministry just days before the administration -- deliberations are scheduled to begin. there is a lot of discussion about what form brexit will take. we have also heard from the liberal democrats saying that he a cross partyding negotiating committee on brexit which means that other views may have to be taken into account in these negotiations even as the conservatives move forward with them with the eu. we have also

john major says, that could look like cash for votes.hat other parts of the uk, who also won funding for hospitals and their local schools, they will say, why can we not have that? you have talked about austerity and the deficit, and now you are throwing cash over the irish sea. he said he is worried it could cost the conservative vote. on top of concerns that tory mps had about the socially conservative views of the dup, and theresa may has reassured about equality laws, saying they will not be brought down because of the dup, he is raising other very serious concerns about this possible deal. we will talk about that with lord peter hain injust a moment. we have had a few details about a reshuffle. what's happening there? very interestingly, the brexit unit, whose office is just down at the end of downing street, two of the ministers have been taken out of that unit, just a week before the talks are due to start. the people she has brought in, one of them is eye—catching, not anyone anyone might now outside of westminster, a backbencher

thing john major and tony blair did, which is peace in northern ireland.interrupt, just watching pictures of her going into church this morning. she needs help from above, i will tell you that. how would you advise her? i don't know, i don't know. what has been exposed, she called this election because she thought labour were weak and she thought she would get a landslide. the election designed to expose labour's wea knesses designed to expose labour's weaknesses has profoundly exposed hers and the country has realised she's not a prime minister. and what's more they have also realised, when i watched your news bulletin, seriously, if this country seriously thinking about going from vista borisjohnson?! thinking about going from vista boris johnson?! i was thinking about going from vista borisjohnson?! i was speaking to a politician in germany yesterday, he said, britain is doing a very good job of presenting itself as... let me finish! as the world's first world failed state. we are becoming a joke. david cameron and his stupid referendum, theresa may now

the former conservative prime minister, john major, has added his voice to concerns about the implicationsh the dup and its possible repercussions on the peace process in northern ireland. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. they're all here. with new mps, parliament returning to its business. the commons' speaker elected, well, dragged, by tradition, to his grand chair again, but a government in charge? not quite yet. mr speaker—elect, on behalf of the whole house, may i congratulate you on your re—election. at least someone got a landslide. laughter. theresa may able to laugh about losing seats, but no deal in place yet that will prop her up. as we face difficult challenges ahead, let us come together in a spirit of national unity, to keep our country safe and build a stronger, fairer and more prosperous future for everyone in every part of our united kingdom. the labour leader delighted in throwing the tory‘s campaign barbs back at her. democracy is a wondrous thing and can throw up some very unexpected results. and i'm sure we all look forward to welcoming the queen's speech

my first parliament was john major's government in the late 905 when fir5t parliament wa5 john major'ry night. i feel that's going to be the case. but nobody wants that's going to be the case. but nobody wa nt5 an that's going to be the case. but nobody wants an election, i don't think anyone in the country want5 nobody wants an election, i don't think anyone in the country wants to go through that process again, we wa nt go through that process again, we want to make this work for the time being. did you bump into any mps from the dup and ask what is going on? not today, but! from the dup and ask what is going on? not today, but i know a few of them well and we have common view5. so why is this more drawn out? 0bviou5ly negotiations are still ongoing but it's not the end of the world that is not a formal agreement, governments have continued as minorities in house of commons in the past and i don think there'5 commons in the past and i don think there's any reason this one could not do the same if that becomes nece55a ry. not do the same if that becomes necessary. i think it's going

it will feel reminiscent of john major's government in the early 19905 john major's government in thecallaghan‘s in the 19705. 1990s orjim callaghan‘s in the 1970s. late night voting and daily parliamentary battles to get things ticking along and keeping the government live. it will feel like that for the next 18 months. thank for that. ed cox is the director of ippr north, a think tank that produces research on issues affecting the north of england. good to speak to you. did you hear anything in the queens speech that made you think that the government was thinking about the north of england? unfortunately not. i spent the day at a big conference where transport for the north has been announcing its strategic transport plan that will change the economy in the north of england. there was dismay amongst businesses and other local authorities that the north seems to be off the agenda. all the shenanigans in westminster, it is really annoying people. what we really annoying people. what we really need at this point in time is to get at that momentum back up about the northern powerhouse

he gave a lengthy interview to the world at 0ne john major.view to the world at one on radio 4 and expressed considerable disquiet about those talks. this, a man, of course, who was key, a key figure in the good friday agreement and expressed a lot of concerns about what it means to do any form of deal with the democratic unionist party. let's hear a little of that radio interview. i am concerned about the deal. i am wary about it. iam about the deal. i am wary about it. i am dubious about it, both for peace process reasons, but also for other reasons as well. that said, all my life i have been a conservative. i very much want mrs may to succeed as prime minister and to stay as prime minister. and i understand why she wishes to shore up understand why she wishes to shore up her parliamentary position. that is entirely understandable and i sympathise, but, but, my main concern certainly is the peace process. a fundamental part of that peace process is that the uk government needs to be impartial between all the competing interests in northern i

john major the former prime minister has said there should not bea minister has said there should notreement that prevents parties in either dublin or london coming to agreement. of course this isn't a formal coalition, more than informal arrangements. but the government, the westminster government is obliged to be evenhanded, if it is giving favours to what the dup wants to happen because of this deal, then that potentially damages that, doesn't it? i actually think the opposite could happen, if the dup are able to get out of these negotiations on economic benefit from northern ireland it would actually make getting into government again hear more attractive to sinn fein. the other thing that sinn fein voters in particular will be concerned about is the prospect of the direct rule minister with the influence, so i actually think it could help things locally in terms of discussion going on, and helped get devolution back up on, and helped get devolution back up and running again. but the secretary of state has not been involved in the discussions going on between the conservatives and

the former conservative prime minister, john major, has added his voice to concerns about the implicationse dup and its possible repercussions on the peace process in northern ireland. our political editor, laura kuenssberg, reports. both sides, though, said the talks had gone well and an agreement they're all here. with new mps, parliament returning to its business. the commons‘ speaker elected, well, dragged, by tradition, to his grand chair again, but a government in charge? not quite yet. mr speaker—elect, on behalf of the whole house, may i congratulate you on your re—election. at least someone got a landslide. laughter. theresa may able to laugh about losing seats, but no deal in place yet that will prop her up. as we face difficult challenges ahead, let us come together in a spirit of national unity, to keep our country safe and build a stronger, fairer and more prosperous future for everyone in every part of our united kingdom. the labour leader delighted in throwing the tory‘s campaign barbs back at her. democracy is a wondrous thing and can throw up some very unexpected results.

it was taken, as my noble friend reminds me, by the john major government.y policy of renationalising the railways, handing even more power to their friends in aslef and the rmt, will bring any improvement for passengers whatsoever. it will enable them to hold the whole of the country to ransom rather than just the poor miserable passengers on southern rail. my lords, how optimistic is my noble friend the minister that passengers, even miserable ones such as myself on the southern rail franchise, can expect a decent service over the summer months, when there is industrial action planned for later this week, i understand, and also for the 10th ofjuly by both the rmt and aslef? i'm afraid the noble lord is correct in that the unions have announced further industrial action starting from thursday. so i can't give him any consolation because we can spend as much as we like on on upgrading the infrastructure, on providing new trains, on taking action over management failings, but if drivers and conductors failed to turn up for work, there's very little we do abou

in the john major time we were bringing people in, there was a vote that was one by one vote, peopleformer head of the civil servants lord gus o'donnell worked at the heart of both major‘s government and cameron's coalition. coalition is very formal, there's an agreement, they talk, they go through the whole programme, in a minority it is more political deals. made usually in the house of commons. classic smoke—filled rooms you saw in 1970s. it is much more ad hoc. the queen's speech, the budget, votes of no confidence, the democratic unionists may support theresa may through key votes but everything else will be open to negotiation. civil servants will be urging the prime minister to drop any legislation that might prove difficult to get through. in a minority government the manifesto is more a wish list than a promise to the country. minority governments are fragile creatures, as labour's ramsey macdonald found in 1924, his admits thracian survived just nine months. what you'd ideally like to do with a minority government is operate for a while, get the confidence of the nation and

it's not my job to guess how the head banger element behave, they have the disruptive, destroyed john major'sfor david cameron which is where he lurched into the premiership. i hope that the prime minister and more sensible people in the cabinet stands firm and realise that they have to talk to the country and not the handful, or bigger than handful of group of rather disruptive conservative mps. they have had their day, and the election result made it clear that the next government is going to have to talk to everybody and engage the people who want us to keep many of the key features of the european union, while respecting the referendum result. i was interested to read something you wrote about working together, politicians working together, politicians working together, politicians working together in the national interest. he said that your party's experience of being in coalition had killed, perhaps for a generation, the idea of growing up politics. it doesn't sound as though you actually, although you like the idea of politicians working together for the nation, it doesn't sound like y

interestingly, if you look at the tory records, since 1992, that last victory under john major, 25 years they had two years with a very slim majority in charge, apart from that, coalition, it doesn't seem like they're going to have obviously a majority this time around. not a great record for the conservatives. if we look through the negotiations in brexit, of course, you mentioned that a dup throwing up that potential issue of halfway membership for northern ireland, we have seen three months out of 24 months already, they have run down the clock, we're going to see another delay to the negotiations, we heard those comments from the likes of guy, from frederica, from giunta, all of them saying that clearly there won't be any negotiations restarted until there is a fresh government. if we continue running down the clock, it makes that brexit conversation that much more complex, that is something people both here and london and brussels are worried about. we'll hear from theresa may shortly. she's presided over potentially one of the worst political decisions in modern british history. an

looking to form a coalition government and she expressed optimism about the discussions, but sir john majors warning may not strike a deal with the dup saying it would undermine the northern ireland peace process. may says she intends to do so. still a lot of question marks though let's send it out to sue herera with a news update >> hire's what is happening. the parents of on the toe warmbi warmbier telling the "washington post" that their son has ben medically evacuated from that company in a coma and he's been in a coma for more than a year warmbier we're told that he had come down with botulism soon after his trial and had been given a sleeping pill from which he never woke up >>> the ranking member of the house intelligence committee adam schiff appearing on "morning joe." he said lawmakers will not let president trump get away with firing special counsel robert mueller. >> i think that i would hope be the last straw for many of the republicans that have stayed their hand and not been willing to speak out if he were to take this step with all its echos of watergate. >>> and how about t

in 1992, john major squeaked in with 336.. and we go back to the first a little bit win, 339. all of those were majorities, theresa may‘s isn‘t, that‘s the problem. 1970, surprise victory for edward heath. so, from that point of view, if you‘re going to call theresa may one of the winners here, in that she got more seats than any other party, she is not a convincing win at all and she might even be out of a job soon. who knows? but there is a line of defence. i‘m going to show you how we can look at this slightly differently. let‘s go back to edward heath in the 1970s and the percentage of the fancied he got when he won. it was 46% of. we are coming off the period where the two main parties shared may be 90% of the vote or more. we have mrs thatcher winning with 45%. we are in the 40s now. and then it starts to decline as emma ukip are on the pitch and the lib dems are stronger, and the greens and so on. we were starting to think in 2010, maybe you will never see the big hearties go above 40%. so, 2010, cameron came first, wi

john major and david cameron have been saying she needs to moderate her position.at on that or any sense of moderation? that 1922utside committee on monday and a number of mps as they came out of the meeting which allowed theresa may to carry on for now. i spoke to a number of pro-remain tory mps who said ae'd knowledge there was broad range of views and the party. crucially, those remain mps feel emboldened. course you have these conflicting forces. you still have the diehard brexiteers who want the hard push. those mps who want to have a soft brexit originally did not want brexit at all. they feel their voice can be heard because they could cause some serious trouble. we have a majority in lance with the dmp -- dup. shaky ground. we have our guest ashok shah. anna has been on the green. she has been listening to the voices outside the 20 -- 1922 committee. are away from hard brexit in any case. even if we decide that go she should, we going to have a change a year from now? way is openink the to stay in the custom unit -- union or some other strategy for softenin

that we meet on an almost daily basis that makes me optimistic britain's future. 27 years ago, john majorted with me. a nation at ease with itself would present its population with the same opportunities, whatever part of the country, whatever background they came from. such a society would be one that was enjoying greater prosperity, one where its citizens enjoyed longer and more satisfying lives, it would be one where inequality between the richest and the poorest was narrowing. by every independently produced a statistic, we live at or at the threshold of such a time. those measured indicators are steadily, if too slowly, if too slowly being achieved. but none of us, none of us can claim that our united kingdom is a nation at ease with itself. last year 's referendum, and the recent election has shown that divisions remain wide and potentially harmful. the gracious speech holds firm to the prime minister's deeply held belief in having an economy and a society that works for everyone. these are values that matter to her, they matter to me, and they actually matter to every single member

13.7 million votes, the highest number sincejohn major million votes, the highest number since john major3.4 sincejohn major and got the record in 13.4 million, we have got the largest number of seats. corbyn going around the television studios yesterday claiming he had won, even if corbyn added the minor parties he couldn't get the magic number of 336. if 75 citizens had voted differently in five seats, we would have reached the 326 figure. it is right that the prime minister, with the prospect of negotiations beginning next week, does continue and tries to work out an agreement with the dup which apparently is progressing well from what i'm hearing and present a queen's speech when it is agreed and i think that's the right thing to do. owen paterson, thank you. that's the view in westminster. it's warming up here. the meeting at 5pm with the 1922 backbench committee. we will bring you the details later on. the conservatives are negotiating with the democratic unionist party. joining me now from our westminster studio is doctor andrew blick, constitutional expert and lecturer in politics
