this is an ill-advised comment from kwasi kwarteng, the cabinet l from kwasi kwarteng, the cabinet ministeres, it is not as if there being a few of them makes their behaviour acceptable, and this is by my camp around the third or fourth time there's been a massive scandal in parliament to do with the behaviour of members of parliament. and i think that what we really need to do is reflect on ways in which the culture at westminster can be changed, and that is going to be very difficult. the conservative party are talking about having more female candidates, hoping that having more female mps will help with that but there are structural issues around the ways in which mps are expected to hire and manage their own staff, which many of them are not qualified to do, which leads to very bad consequences. it is to very bad consequences. it is interesting _ to very bad consequences. it is interesting that _ to very bad consequences. it is interesting that the _ to very bad consequences. it is interesting that the tory line, the government line this morning was that clearly it is somehow worse to b

the uk business secretary kwasi kwarteng says he does not think there will be a trade war with the eu the uk government is poised to introduce legislation to strip away parts of the protocol, a deal struck by borisjohnson which governs trade after between britain and northern ireland after brexit. earlier our political correspondent david wallace lockhart gave me this update. step one was the brexit deal involved a provision called the northern ireland protocol. and that means when goods are some goods, at least when they go from england, scotland and wales into northern ireland, they get checked at that point and they do it. why that check happens internally within the uk is to keep the border open between northern ireland and the irish republic because once part of the uk, once part of the eu and the historic situation there means that that border must stay open. northern ireland had elections recently. sinn fein, a nationalist party who ultimately believed in a united ireland, came out on top. they've nominated a first minister, the dup, the biggest unionist party, therefore get to

the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, for example, is nervous about the fact that bp have said theyof it is popular. the way the money is being raised is more controversial. we have heard the prime minister say in the past hour that he thinks this is a big bazooka package that will help redistribute wealth to people who need it the most. but the big question the chancellor is also facing is how long it could potentially go on for. he left the door open this morning to another support package if necessary, if energy prices stay high next year. in the past few minutes, there has been a resignation over partygate? there has indeed. paul holmes, a ministerial aide to the home secretary, has resigned, talking about his dislike of the culture in number ten and the damage that the row has done the government. it is still a trickle of mps who have been calling for a rethink of government since the sue gray report came out. i make it five or six now who have spoken out since that report. but remember, there were a lot more before. i suspect number ten bit nervous that some people are going h

however, in an exclusive interview with bbc news, business secretary kwasi kwarteng said this £120 milliones on people's energy bills to help fund their construction. it might have a small effect. we are talking maybe £30 on a bill over a year. so you would be expecting similar for nuclear? let's see what schemes come up. there is no doubt in the medium term that will reduce, it will give us cheaper power. now, i can't tell you on what precise date the bills will be known. there are otherfactors determining the price. you are confident the political gamble is worth it in terms of further cost to consumers? absolutely. people here really want to see new investment, jobs, opportunity for the kids and their community. as well as large nuclear stations, the government is supporting modular reactors, which it claims are simpler to build. rolls—royce want to build one here and argue short—term bill rises would protect consumers long—term. at the end of the day these projects to deliver that net zero, clean energy have to be paid for. in the long run it will protect consumers from the volatility

been a suggestion that's still on the table, the chancellor rishi sunak and business secretary kwasi kwartenge government would do to then pass that money on two individuals to bring the cost of living down. so, a lot of questions about this idea of a windfall tax or other ways of bringing down the cost of living. the government is also looking at smaller tweaks and things you can do as it goes along things like reducing the frequency of an 80s is one idea. there's certainly a lot of concentration on the cost of living but today's figures really well increase the pressure and i'm sure we're going to get lots of questions about this when the prime minister takes prime minister's questions in three quarters of an hour.— three quarters of an hour. thank ou. the foreign secretary liz truss has said a new law would be introduced to change the post—brexit trade deal for northern ireland, and insisted the bill would be legal under international law. borisjohnson's government agreed the trade deal — which governs how goods enter northern ireland from the rest of the uk — with the european union in 20

we note there are some cabinet ministers like the business secretary kwasi kwarteng, like the brexitly uncomfortable with this. there are other conservative backbenchers, one yesterday called it red meat for socialists. he was not convinced at all. there are some dangers i think politically for rishi sunak, as well. member after the pandemic he tried to bring spending down, tried to say all these emergency measures are over. now he has turned the tap back on to deal with some of the pressures that households are facing. how easy will it be to take it off if energy prices remain high at next year? yes, look, on the whole, this has been popular, but some tories are deeply uncomfortable with the idea of windfall taxes and i'm not totally sure how easy it will be to stop the chancellor doing this again in the future. {lilia stop the chancellor doing this again in the future-— stop the chancellor doing this again in the future. . «a , . police in texas are facing criticism over their response to a mass shooting at a primary school which left 19 children and two teachers dead. as questions
