like when michael heseltine said he could not foresee circumstances where he would stand against mrs thatcher an anyone but boris campaign going on. there is a sense that he is flaky and unreliable, those things that michael gove, as he flagrantly stabbed him in the front and back la st stabbed him in the front and back last year... and the site! and the head and everything, he said he was not reliable. those allegations will resurface. certain allegations from the past will come back towards him, i think, and i think there will be a really tight campaign if it is him against david davis. apparently, amber rudd's majority was too slim, only 300 or so, so she is out of the running. i would only 300 or so, so she is out of the running. iwould not only 300 or so, so she is out of the running. i would not say that boris is on the way to coronation, it is not a done deal because there are people in the party who do not trust them. the conservative party is thinking, we need a leaderfor the future who can take onjeremy corbyn, who did surprisingly well. it isa corbyn, who did surprisingly well. it

reality is that it looks terrible for all the other leaders to turn up except her, she looks frit as mrs thatcheran who knows she is winning and doesn't wa nt who knows she is winning and doesn't want to do it. but it made sense, didn't it? the argument is that if you are out in front and you are the prime minister you have nothing to gain from that in that sense. the notion is that people would literally start turning on her as we saw to a certain extent on amber rudd, and that's not a great look for a prime minister who is basically refereeing a quarrel. politically she took the decision and it wasn't going to win her any votes ultimately so she didn't take part. i kind of agree with jack to a certain extent that it doesn't look great. 0ne certain extent that it doesn't look great. one reason why it doesn't for her in particular is that there have been so many questions asked about her ability to reach out to people and be personal. she goes to factories rather than meeting voters in the way that corbyn does and i think that is what social media has tapped into. but the difference with this cam

supporters could say, look, 44%, you‘re talking about actually, the proportion of the vote that mrs thatcher they can, jeremy, but maybe we should wish them luck with that! that‘s underlining the outcome ofa that! that‘s underlining the outcome of a hung parliament, and lots of signals from within the conservative party people are increasingly dismayed, angered, frustrated, with the style of government. sarah wollaston now contributing to this chorus of voices, talking about theresa may‘s special adviser? chorus of voices, talking about theresa may's special adviser? yes, criticising that style of government. sarah wollaston, a prominent conservative mp, who obviously feels this was an own goal, it was self—inflicted. and she again is calling for the advisers to go. as per our earlier discussion, theresa may needs people around her when she trusts and she has relied on. but you can see and understand why there will be a chorus saying, we need to blame someone here. if we‘re not going to blame theresa may directly by calling her for go, we‘re not going to blame theresa may directly by calling

that is what happened to michael heseltine after he did in mrs thatcher and then was done in himself.s and if down the line a vacancy should emerge, i'm sure he will put himself forward. norman, thank you. all eyes on the dup and what happens next with arlene foster. al corresponded is in belfast. he said he believes the prospect of another election will not help the power—sharing elect. the nationalist parties say the prospective deal between the dup and the conservatives is not going to help at all in fact it will probably make things more difficult. sinn fein in particular have been very critical of the deal and they say it shows the british government can be expected to —— cannot be expected to act as an impartial broker. the sinn fein leader has said there should now be an independent chair though james brokenshire said he does not think it should be the approach. he said the british government, the irish government and the head of the northern ireland civil service are all heavily involved and that is the approach that is needed to bring the parties together, and he thinks that

i don't need to go over it, mrs thatcher, the poll tax, all myths my opinion.side of the constitutional argument, and we are leading the constitution debate here in scotland. in 2001, the scottish tories picked up just one scottish seat and they did no better in the election after election after election. until last night, winning 13 seats from moray to angus in the north—east, through perthshire south and stirling in the heart of scotland. renfrewshire and glasgow and in the four seats across the southern border. the conservatives are back in business in scotland, a force to be reckoned with. andy said that we now have our eyes on aspiring to be a government is not fanciful, it is not the stuff of dreams, it is actually not very realistic aspiration. already the main operation at holyrood and the second party in local government, these results mean the tories have overta ken these results mean the tories have overtaken scottish labour at westminster also. one of the main deciding factors in yesterday's general election was the high turnout of young voters. ear

mr. simcox is a margaret thatcher fellow at the heritage foundation trust margaret thatcher center for freedom. he specializes in counterterrorism and national security policy. is a senior research fellow for counterterrorism at the national defense university. recently left a position as tist -- missienc georgia homer is the director of cd at the united states it does -- institute of peace or she oversees the laplace subjects. mr. hughes, you five minutes. distinguished members of the committee, it's a privilege to be invited to speak today. europe is facing a sustained threat from the islamic state. estimated more than 5000 europeans are travel to syria to join isis. the percentage of european fighters overturn -- estimated as high as 30%. in the united states, some 250 americans have attempted to travel to isis controlled territory. of the 250, more than 60 us-based individuals who successfully migrated to syria. is not a typical profile of an american or european isis recruit. they vary and socioeconomic background, age, gender, location and degree of religiosity. despite recent territoria

if you take margaret thatcher in 1981, everyone is conspiring to get rid of her and then the falklands comes along and she's in for nearly another ten years. with mrss very hard to tell, but she could be there longer than people are currently speculating. with the dup, there is the basis of a parliamentary majority. tory mps don't want an election, the dup doesn't want an election, a lot of backbench labour mps don't much want an election either. in private, cabinet ministers agree with the prime minister that she has the right to see the brexit talks through, though they wonder whether she has the stomach for a relentless fight in parliament. other tories say that the successful passage of the queen's speech will allow them to ask difficult questions about her future as prime minister. they say that the length of her tenure in downing street will depend on the answers to three questions. in the first place, does she have the authority to see the brexit negotiations through? secondly, is there a credible alternative? and the final question is, can she rise again like a phoenix? nicky morgan believes the brexit timetable points to a natural handover

think britain had margaret thatcher in 1979 and theresa may now and a germany has had angela merkel since 2005? america really more backward toward women than those country or was mrsclinton the wrong woman and you want candidate? it would have been helpful if she had spoken to those who voted for her and supported amer and donated to her campaign because she was a woman. you should never slander a country that rejected you, maybe it had is reasons and maybe her most constructive act now would be to widely reflect on what that might be. elizabeth and new hampshire on the independent line. caller: how are you this morning? host: doing well, what do you think hillary should -- clinton should do next? caller: i have never gotten on before and so happy to talk to you, i look at you constantly. host: great to have you on the program. caller: i wanted to say that i voted according to the person. oneink hillary could have -- won, but i used to vote democrat, the party has gone so far to the left that christians in this country are concerned that their country is going to hell instead of to heaven. do you know what i mean? it worries us. you know? but when youbama stand up

mr. speaker by making different choices, by asking the highest 5% of earners to pay a little bit more while still keeping the top 10 percentage points for most of margaret thatcher's time in office. by asking them to pay more and tax while still retaining a lower corporation tax rate than any other g7 country. austerity and inequality are choices. they are not necessities. they are not unfortunate -- they are a choice. they are a choice to make life worse for the many to maintain the privilege of a few. if this government rejects austerity challenges inequality and rebalances our economy than he would have our support but he continues down this path of deliberately making people worse off of deepening division, of deepening division and of neglecting communities that deserve support and respect then we will oppose them every step of the way. mr. speaker this is a government government -- [laughter] i will continue. thank you mr. speaker. mr. speaker this is a government without a majority without a mandate without a serious legislative program and struggling even today put together a deal to stay in office. >> request a point of order. let's hear it the point of o

mr. fish finger running against the leader of the liberal democrats to a candidate called lord bucket head on the same roster and with the prime minister, the same lord bucket head who ran against margaret thatchers ago and managed to get 249 votes last night. perhaps nothing summed up the actual results of the election more than this moment. that's thing 2 in 60 seconds. >>> the president had just one word to describe his thoughts on last night's election in britain. >> thank you all very much. thank you. thank you. >> surprising. >> surprising is an understatement. the entire reason there was even an election was because the president's buddy, theresa may, thought she could increase the number of conservative party members in parliament. perhaps even get a whopping 100-seat majority. instead, the rival labor party surged. and with an unabashedly socialist platform and a leader who is inspired bernie sanders comparisons, they gained 30 seats while the conservative party lost 13, prompting calls for theresa may to step down in favor of someone like this guy. but despite the catastrophic loss, right now theresa may is still in charge, having struck a deal with the anti-gay unionist party of north

mr. speaker, by making very different choices. by asking the highest 5% of earners to pay a little bit more while still keeping the top 10 percentage points lower than it was for most of margaret thatcher's time in office. by asking big business to pay a little more in tax while still retaining a lower corporation tax rate than any other g-7 country. austerity and inequality are choices. they're not necessities. they are not unfortunate outcomes. they are -- they are a choice, they are a choice to make life worse for the many, to maintain the privilege of a few. if this government rejects austerity, challenges inequality, invests to expand, and rebalance our economy, then then it would have our support. but it continues down this path of deliberately making people worse off, of deepening division, of deepening division and of neglecting communities that deserve support and respect. then we will oppose them every step of the way if they continue with that. mr. speaker, this is a governme government -- i will continue with my speech. thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker -- this is a government without a majority, without a mandate, without a serious legislative program led by a prime minist

mrs made to polarise the whole of the campaign on herself. so the party didn't exist, it was all about i, i, i. margaret thatchersychological make—up and was very much an introvert. she did not communicate. she looked wooden and increasingly during the campaign as if the very last place she wanted to be was out seeking votes. how much of a mistake was it not to take part in the debate because prime minister ‘s previously have said they won't take the risk and she is not alone in there. tony blair refused to take pa rt there. tony blair refused to take part in debates on the route —— and the result of that was there were no debates. the convention was broken in 2010 when gordon brown did agree to ta ke in 2010 when gordon brown did agree to take part. i think he did ok and nick clegg did better. given given that that is now accepted, i think it was very unwise of theresa may to refuse to take part in that key final debate. jeremy corbyn made a brilliant tactical move to say that she —— that he would take part in this, and where were you? if theresa may had been riding high, it would have been fine. but as the pub
