the business secretary kwasi kwarteng is here and when i bumped into him in the corridor i did not ask i asked him about some comments he made about the parliamentary commissionerfor standards. do you still stand by your comments about the parliamentary commissioner for standards? do you think she should stay in post? do you still think the commissioner is going to have a difficult time staying in post? that was informative, wasn't it? butjust to prove that it feels like the entire world is here, i'm nowjoined in this beautiful riverside location because i've been joined by former home secretary, former work and pensions secretary, and crucially former energy secretary at the time of the paris climate change agreement, amber rudd. thank you, chris, and former. women and equalities minister. i'm adam, you've got me mixed up with chris. laughter thank you, adam, - and former women and equalities minister, just to round it off. ok, because it's an important job that nobody forgets. it is to me. we will talk about your specialist subject which is this, cop26, in a second, but, i mean, what

interestingly, his colleague, business secretary kwasi kwarteng, also facing pressure to apologise today stone, the independent standards commissioner for parliament, given the government was trying to overhaul the standard system that she is a very key part of. interesting that nadeem is a hobby talked about collective responsibility because there are a number of figures certainly in the firing line today over the mess that some mps see all of this as, firstly, the prime minister himself, with some mps pointing to other examples of u—turns that the government has made under his leadership, then there is also the chief whip mark spencer, after mps were whipped to vote with the government yesterday, some of whom against their own well, i was told some mps who are thinking of abstaining yesterday were told they might lose certain positions they held if they did that, so here's another one in the firing line too, doors of the leader of the house of commons jacob rees—mogg who was defending the government's plans in the house of commons. downing street have said this afternoon that they have

also on the today programme was government minister kwasi kwarteng.ay was about trying to bring back or bring a sense of fairness, a right of appeal, which owen paterson didn't have. as well as talking about fairness, in another interview with sky news, mr kwarteng said... that's right, kathryn stone, who had carried out thejob that was asked of her, whose report was approved by a cross—party committee of mps, was now being asked to consider her position. and while we all considered the government's approach to parliamentary standards, early afternoon that approach changed. while there is a very strong feeling on both sides of the house - that there is a need - for an appeals process, there is equally a strong - feeling that this should not be based on a single case - or applied retrospectively. here's keir starmer shortly after that u—turn. what they've done is corrupt. and often in a situation like this, you have a prime minister who is trying to lead on public standards. what you've got with this prime minister is a prime minister who is leading hi

this morning the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, who has been visiting a nuclear research centrecox, the number of times that he has voted he has done by proxy which is the case for a lot of mps during the pandemic, a lot of them staying in their constituencies rather than going to westminster. he has only spoken once in parliament since the start of the pandemic and the labour party have written to the prime minister asked him whether geoffrey cox is a caribbean based barrister or a conservative mp, what exactly is his priority here? we have been trying to get hold of sir geoffrey cox today and we are told he is actually at the moment overseas or neither at his constituency in devon are at westminster but we have had a statement in the past few minutes that says sir geoffrey has been working with the companies since a global counsel since september 2020 and is a leading qc his huge depth of expertise experience in domestic and international. no suggesting whether this adds further fuel to the fire of these allegations of sleaze directed at the prime minister and the conservative

labour has written to the prime minister's ethics adviser saying kwasi kwarteng's comments should be. the fallout from this affair rumbles on. damian grammaticas, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. so much for a cross—party opposition support about fielding an independent candidate, that seems to have broken down stop what do you make about the fact that this is a collective mistake of the government, a lot of people saying it went to the heart of number ten? 0n the first thing, cross—party talks, it looks like opposition parties flirted briefly with the idea of a joint anti—sleaze ticket, as they would describe it. labour are not taking part in these discussions anymore. labour sources are saying there will be a labour candidate in the shropshire north by—election. if they want an anti—sleaze candidate, vote for the labour party, is what they are saying. a reflection of the fact that 0wen paterson will not be standing, there will be a fresh tory face there. also, we do not know when that by—election will be called or when it will be held, that to

labour has written to the prime minister's ethics adviser saying kwasi kwarteng's comments should bey the commissioner. the fallout from this affair rumbles on. damian grammaticas, bbc news. let's talk now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam — you're in glasgow this morning at the united nations climate conference — but the political focus is still miles away in westminster. owen paterson has resigned. there are questions about where all of this leaves politics in westminster. you get mps questioning but this has done for the reputation of all mps and parliament. mps questioning what this means for the prime minister's judgment. and the political parties pondering what it means for the upcoming by—election in owen paterson's soon—to—be former seat. on that i think it will be unlikely there will be a joint anti—sleaze candidate standing against the conservatives, it doesn't look like those cross—party talks are going anywhere with a labour source saying to me if you want to vote for an anti—sleaze candidate you would vote for the labour candidate, which suggests th

labour has written to the prime minister's ethics adviser saying kwasi kwarteng's comments should be on. damian grammaticas, bbc news. i've been getting reaction from the conservative peer lord barwell, who was downing street chief of staff in theresa may's government. it is clearly a terrible mistake that number ten and the government as a whole made in trying to get owen paterson off the hook and change the rules. if you are asking me why it happened, it is not easy for me to answer, since it was politically bad for the government, the conservative party, and for owen himself. my best guess, and i do not think a lot of your viewers will have sympathy with it, here goes, sometimes in life, when one of our friends does something wrong, there is a natural to see the best in them, in this case in particular, given the tragic events that owen and his family have been through with his wife very sadly taking her own life, there would have been understandable compassion for him. therefore, what went wrong, i think, is that nobody around the prime minister said to him, i understand you are
