he did, and michael howard, also former leader and now in the house of lords, he said that too. a long contest. and it clearly seems to me that's where the sentiment is going. and this debate, though, about how long sunak stays on is very up and running. so someone who was in the cabinet untilfive minutes ago, until thursday night or until friday morning, whenever it happens, said to me yesterday, "look, if you can do two pmqs, "why can't he do nine?" actually the instability ofjust having a change and then another change, it would just get messy. but do you both think there's a version where he goes at the end ofjuly, which is... ? i think there is a version where he goes at the end ofjuly. there's a suggestion, maybe, that even ian duncan smith might step in as some kind of caretaker. i think that's probably more likely than... so, someone like james cleverly, i don't think that he has necessarily decided if he's going to run, but i can't see the appeal for somebody who sees himself possibly as one of the candidates of stepping in as some kind of caretaker. oh, it would have t

you know, others have done it like michael howard, but they hadn't been prime minister and switched overf the opposition. so just hearing that, you know, read out by the speaker saying leader of the opposition, rishi sunak, it's strange. and he sort of again repeated some of his messages apologising to his colleagues. you know, he's got 175 fewer of them sitting behind him. so it's not an easy time for him to do that and sit there and obviously watch the person who's defeated you sitting there with lots of smiling faces and a lot more of them sitting opposite you. and just on the timing of when he will actually go as leader of the conservative party, i've noticed the language has changed a little bit over the last few days. when he first announced his resignation as prime minister, he said, i'll stay on as leader of the conservative party until the process for choosing my successor is agreed, which sounds like not staying around for very long. but now i've noticed in conservative party press releases, they say that he'll be in post until much further through the process for appointing hi

michael howard, the celebrated oxford and yale professor of what terry history found zero evidence -- of military history found zero evidence of unintended wars. history shows any access of axonal wars -- of accidental wars, i have yet to find the. -- to find them. i have nothing against communication hotlines and communications but what they fail to recognize is if war follows a military mishap, it would not be because of a misunderstanding. quite the opposite. it would be because beijing has made an intentional decision that the time is advantageous to fight a war it has spent decades equipping and rehearsing for. leaders star wars when they believe -- leaders start wars when they believe wars will obtain dividends they could not obtain through peaceful means. not because their anger got the better of them or they cannot find a working phone number for the white house. beijing understands this better than washington does and it uses washington's misapprehension to its advantage. in their first call after president biden became president, xi jinping reportedly reintroduced the theme.

others have done it, like michael howard, but they haven't been prime minister and switched over to leader— to sit there and watch the person who's defeated you sitting there with lots of smiling faces and a lot more of them sitting opposite of you. band of smiling faces and a lot more of them sitting opposite of you. and on them sitting opposite of you. and on the timin: them sitting opposite of you. and on the timing of — them sitting opposite of you. and on the timing of when _ them sitting opposite of you. and on the timing of when he _ them sitting opposite of you. and on the timing of when he will _ them sitting opposite of you. and on the timing of when he will go - them sitting opposite of you. and on the timing of when he will go as i the timing of when he will go as leader of the conservative party, i've noticed the language has changed a little bit over the last few days when he first announced his resignation as prime minister, he said, "i'll stay on as leader of the conservative party until the process for choosing my successor is agreed," which sounds like he's not staying ar

and we can't have a tough michael howard type law and order policy without building more prison placeswe may if we can get planning right. >> it's the most exciting thing labour proposing because under our current planning system, each new prison cell costs a whopping £600,000. yeah, which just seems. >> yeah. i mean, i don't know why that is. again, like, i don't have enough, you know, intelligence on, like, why it costs that much to build a cell. but i do just want to say this. i think it's really important to have hope in this area because you can't bring crime down. you can't. you know, hope springs eternal. >> thank you very much to my panel >> thank you very much to my panel. supporters at the republican national convention have begun to sport air bandages similar to the one worn by donald trump after he was shot. the phenomenon appears certain to have become the latest fashion trend. back in the uk, we knew of no a few famous faces who could enjoy jumping on the latest craze two, for example, the prime minister, deputy prime minister, they were keen to drop to their knees with d

even fewer still saw it going to iain duncan smith after 2001, and then to michael howard in a coronationents that were very peculiar. most people expected it to go to michael portillo, at least at some stage across those years, what mistakes were made in the past about leadership that might need to be avoided now that the conservative party is entering a period of soul searching , is entering a period of soul searching, it's very is entering a period of soul searching , it's very difficult searching, it's very difficult to draw conclusions because the personalities are all different and we've no idea at the moment who the runners and riders will be out of the rather limited number of members of parliament that have been elected in the conservative cause . conservative cause. >> but what i would say is that i think it would be a big mistake to say to the members of the party, you can't play a role in this in the future. we have precious few members left in the conservative party anyway, as a result of various events, and i think in opposition, the members would want to be part of the proc

you know, michael howard managed to pull off where david cameron came through and there will be othersis. but it could be wrong. >> it is. but it could be wrong. >> it could be that long. when you think about the length of time they'll be out of office, because no party has it that way. >> so the party's got time to sort of reflect and think about it. but you need, you know, a defeated leader and prime minister to feel, up for doing that. and they may not. >> george, would you like to tell me now, i've asked you this on numerous occasions who you now fancy. we know who's left. we know who isn't left. we know we can't have penny mordaunt as an option. for instance, you can't have lucy fraser. you can't have lucy fraser. you can't have lucy fraser. you can't have tobias ellwood. if that was ever in contention. so you've got kemi badenoch or tom tugendhat or suella braverman to choose from. >> yes , i mean, i had in >> yes, i mean, i had in previously supported, you know, grant shapps and you know , he grant shapps and you know, he didn't make it through. >> i can't do that anymore, i'm a

michael howard carried on as tory leader all the way up until october, and it meant the tories crownedill stick around for at least a few weeks because they've got to they've they've suffered their worst defeat in modern history . worst defeat in modern history. and it's his fault. yeah. he went early . nobody seemed to went early. nobody seemed to understand the logic of why he went so early. and he also, in my view, conducted a worse than useless campaign. >> it's a very good point. and of course, even though labour have so many seats, this morning, their vote share in 2024 this year 33.8% 411 mps at the latest call , some of them, the latest call, some of them, astonishingly, actually still to be confirmed this morning. i think only about 3 or 4 maybe left at the moment. the vote share in 2019 was 32. so in fact, the vote share for labour has only gone up one one and a bit percentage if you're listening on the radio, jeremy hunt is emerged on the steps of number 11 with his wife and two three children and the family dog. >> he did say in an interview dunng >> he did say in an interv

now, if you look back at 2005, andrew, when michael howard hung around till the till the autumn partye and allowed that run off between david cameron and david davis that we remember so well and that allowed the party to think, what kind of leader does it want to have by acting in haste? you have by acting in haste? you have a hurried leadership campaign through through august to maybe an announcement in september. that may mean that not necessarily the right leader is chosen. so there'll be pressure on him, i think, from the party to slow it down. take your time. but he may wonder why he bothers. i mean, what i still, i wonder and he hasn't really asked the question, why does he have this? why does he have the early election? why didn't he wait until the autumn given more time to try and convince voters that this party cash has changed and can deliver? instead, you know, the ashes of a party remain. it's been torched completely by the electorate, although low turnout. quite interesting, but really a real problem, i've got to say. also, by the way, there's an emerging story, i think,

and then, i mean, i hope only the tory party gift us a second term, the way william hague and michael howardheir by their behaviour. but that's a question for you to discuss with tory friends in another five years. >> yes. all right dennis, thanks very much indeed. good to see you. it's 7:18. let's have a look at some of the other stories heading into the newsroom this morning. >> well, police in tenerife say that jay slater's family can bnngin that jay slater's family can bring in their own search and rescue teams now to look for the missing teenager. he went missing, as you remember, on the 17th of june. police then called off the official search last week, but jay slater's mother says they the family are going to stay on the island to look for him. >> president biden's recent tv interview hasn't quelled concern over his mental and physical fitness. he dismissed the criticism about his last tv debate and said only the lord almighty could convince him to end his bid for re—election. however, a fifth democrat in congress has now called for him to resign. >> and then, as we were saying, franc

when david cameron took over in 2005, in that situation we lost the general election in may and michael howard to destroy the conservative party, which seems odd for us to bring in somebody who wants to destroy the party, at other times nigel says he does not want anything to do with the conservative party but does not want to destroy us and then sometimes he says he wants to take over and reshape the centre—right. i do not really know his intentions and we will have to wait and see how he opposes labour, what his caucus of mps does so that we can't... how you work in parliament is opposition parties come together sometimes to oppose government legislation, that is very much case—by—case, you will not agree on everything and we have to wait to see how that develops. some senior conservative party members think they should reach out to reform. others would not touch some of a barge pole, which begs the question can the conservative party as we know it survive? i think so. the polls yesterday morning were suggesting labour would get a 250 majority, some of them, really large majorities. ie get a

also with us, mig michael hardaway, and democratic strategist and senior adviser to the lincoln project, joe trippy, who has worked on campaigns for howard. what can you tell us about this call? >> reporter: vice president kamala harris is finding herself in this position where she's publicly and privately supporting the president while being ready to take over the ticket should he step down. part of what she's doing for the biden campaign is reaching out to donors today in the 3:00 p.m. call. she was asked, campaign sources tell us, and the team here at nbc news that she was asked specifically by the president's senior advisers to do this call. i want to read part of an invitation to that donor call. it says, we continue to find ourselves in a rapidly evolving environment, the invitation says, with the stakes as high as they are this cycle, we have to remain focused on the critical work that needs to be done to protect our democracy. to that end, we are hosting a 30 minute briefing today at 3:00 p.m. to discuss urgent emerging needs. we will be joined by vice president kamala harris and hear from leaders working on the front lines with
