a major development from the police kicked partygate back into the headlines. time in history, both the prime minister and the chancellor were fined for breaking the laws they set at the birthday gathering. i have, of course, paid the fpn and i apologise once again for the mistake that i made. this is an extraordinary moment, a prime minister standing here in chequers, admitting he's broken the law. tory anger flared up again. i'm very sorry to have to say this, but i no longer think he is worthy of the great office that he holds. really, the prime minister should just know the gig's up. not, it turned out, quite yet. first, sir keir starmer found himself under investigation by police over beergate — a curry and a beer he had had with others on the campaign trail in durham in 2021. if the police decide to issue me with a fixed penalty notice, i would of course do the right thing and step down. he didn't get one. sir keir and his deputy angela rayner were cleared by the police. still, many tory mps were, like most of westminster, waiting for sue gray. on 25th ma

and you can that was partygate and you can make as many as you want for partygate.d we shall see i'm sorry that is in the public interest, especially because so many of us made sacrifice with him in charge, telling us to make those sacrifice as at that time. but i would also agree with dawn that he is very charming and i'm sure i'm certain that he will win people over. but i think the only reason news channels are looking at covering it is because they know there is a pubuc because they know there is a public interest and, an appetite for him . that is because people for him. that is because people love him or hate him and books. i just don't buy that. believe love him or hate him and books. i jus borist buy that. believe love him or hate him and books. i jus boris hasy that. believe love him or hate him and books. i jus boris has enough3elieve love him or hate him and books. i jus boris has enough within . that boris has enough within. both the labour and the conservative party that they conspired the mainstream media. you know how i feel about partygate. this is a

eleanor: i think that this is in comparison to the last one that he received for partygate, there wasuch bigger political issue. i think this will be forgotten quite quickly in many ways. but ultimately it will be used by the opposition. this is easy fodder for them in house of commons, and wherever they like to make an easy jab of it. he's just given ammunition to the labour party, which are ahead of him in the polls. it raisequestions about his competence and judgment, when the next election is less than two s away. some people in the party will be frustrated if they think that these things cannot happen during a general election campaign. you cannot have these kinds of silly mistakes, so why are you making amount? -- why are you making them now? lukwesa: good points in terms of the election campaign. opposition parties will jump on this, obviously, but what about the voters? how closely are they watching this? what have you gotten from the incident? eleanor: i don't think this in particular will sway voters one way or the other, but it is not going to help him. that is the big thin

i think that this, in l comparison to the last fight he received for partygate, which was a much biggers will be forgotten quite quickly. ultimately, it will be used by the opposition. it is easy fodder for them. whatever they like to make it, it is an easyjob action. so he hasjust given it, it is an easyjob action. so he has just given ammunition to the labour party who are ahead of him in the polls. it raises questions about his competence and judgment as leader when the next election is nick nearly two years away. i think people in the party would be frustrated if they think that these things cannot happen during a general election campaign, you can have these kind of silly mistakes. good point in terms of heading towards the election campaign. the opposition parties willjump on this, obviously, but what about the voters? do you think they are watching this and wants her of feeling have you gotten from the incident? i feeling have you gotten from the incident? ., �* ~' feeling have you gotten from the incident? ., �* ~ , incident? i don't think this will sway voters — incident? i don

i will partygate is back in the papers. i wonder if this has something to do with.s making a threat is now a threat again to rishi sunak. every time that sort of comes up, you're going to see stories about partygate clobbering him again . and he made this joke again. and he made this joke saying most socially saying the most socially distanced socially distanced distanced but socially distanced party yes , party in the uk. i mean, yes, think we go back to the horrible hypocrisy of the fact that they weren't following the rules that they set . but i wonder how weren't following the rules that they set. but i wonder how angry people still are about partygate. i think it sort of disappeared as a story. it's become of westminster become a sort of westminster thing bat that thing. people bat around that most , people thing. people bat around that most, people just but it might become a big political issue, freddie, it's, know freddie, because it's, you know , 90 freddie, because it's, you know , go before this . , he's got to go before this. the privileges the privileges

meanwhile, partygate was not going away for the prime minister.chancellor became the first holders of those offices to receive a fixed penalty notice from the police for breaking the law . i from the police for breaking the law. i understand from the police for breaking the law . i understand the anger that law. i understand the anger that many will feel that i myself fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government i lead had introduced to protect the public . and i accept in all sincerity that people had the right to expect better. and to the delight of westminster journalist sue gray finally released the picture she'd obtained of alleged lockdown parties inside downing street's a few days beforehand. local elections across much of the uk and a disaster for boris johnson and a disaster for boris johnson and the conservatives . tory and the conservatives. tory strongholds like wandsworth and westminster turned red at the hands of angry voters . it's been hands of angry voters. it's been a terrible night for the conservativ

pathetic and partygate fpns. pathetic and labour can get off their high horse. worse, they bang on about integra . but they bang on about integra. but keir starmer has breached the npp's code of conduct notable times. i would declaring registered interests like so is david lammy barry gardiner accepted half a million quid from a chinese spy which he kept. i don't even get me started on keir starmer campaigning for a second referendum after his side. but having said all of that and i'm a member and the entire foundation of rishi premiership does lack integrity he stabbed bofisin does lack integrity he stabbed boris in the back he lost the leadership election got rid of trust and then was installed the tory west members didn't vote want him all vote for him as pm nor did the public . you know, nor did the public. you know, let's face it, getting rid of forest and i said it before , one forest and i said it before, one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the conservative party. so yeah, you could look at it as as that actually rishi sunak hasn't got a huge amo

all of the issues that you've talked about include partygate. he's overseen extremely effectively.r as i can see. the death of the queen and the accession of the king. he's got the coronation to look forward to. this is an enormous agenda for simon case. now, at some stage , no doubt he now, at some stage, no doubt he will move on. he was appointed age 41, 42. most people, when they're appointed cabinet secretary, it's the end of their career. unless he can continue to do the job for 18 years. i suspect at some stage he'll move on. but i think he's got a good track record over a turbulent political time . i don't know if political time. i don't know if that robust defence will look out for your coming knighthood. i think now will. have you any thoughts about who ought to be the party chairman? shall we say a of all, about what a word, first of all, about what party chairman is? i mean, i think it as womanising election strategy, you know, up strategy, you know, rousing up young membership. yeah. and being part of the public face of the campaign alongside the prime minister. be the

it's i mean , one could only hope it's i mean, one could only hope that there's some insight into partygate and what went on in downing street and some of the comings and goings even during the brexit referendum manoeuvre . my of these things is that very often disappear and we don't often really learn what we hoped to learn or have a real kind of juicy gossip gets kind of brushed away . but, you know, of brushed away. but, you know, bofisis of brushed away. but, you know, boris is a great writer. it's very flamboyant . so, you know , very flamboyant. so, you know, suspect there's going to be a lot of people wanting to get a copy of that book eventually comes out who in the context of a great deal of speculation over a great deal of speculation over a potential return of boris johnson, we're still seeing the conservative party languishing in the low twenties in the polls well behind it, where ever. it was under boris johnson , even in was under boris johnson, even in bofis was under boris johnson, even in boris johnson's lowest days , it boris johnson's lowest days, it was higher than where i

remember keir starmer partygate partygate partygate and then the rebels joining with all these childrence. and he did nothing wrong, whether the police, the police or that or not. and boris , some other or not. and boris, some other stuff going on. very hypocritical the things which it wasn't fine and he said which wasn't fine and he said which was very trustworthy that he would he was fined once would that if he was fined once prosecuted that would step. prosecuted that he would step. yeah he wasn't you yeah because he wasn't but you wouldn't be but the other thing is that he did say there is that he did say that there were turned were only six people that turned out he said out there about he said that there was it was not there was not it was not organised. there was a memo and he said an angela rayner wasn't there. well was little, there. she well was the little, little which which is little lies which is which is still lie . so you make out that still lie. so you make out that that's not true because on it's still alive to be what each person see. what would you give it for. yes i

because of partygate a pincher. partygate is because a pincher.think the it's because i think a lot the conservative membership are abandoning because of things like mass immigration, because of do anything of the failure to do anything conservative during 12 years. that's it's why that's why it's up. why think they're that's why they're doing that? that's why many are abandoning them. many voters are abandoning them. absolutely. okay. can i can. i just say that nick is right. i didn't know what what was talking about last talking about in the last session. you should just preface the show yeah. the whole show with. yeah. the though think that to though is that i think that to be we're going to that's be honest we're going to that's how i get out of saying that we're giving people we're giving homeless people work very, very work that's their very, very benevolent we're benevolent of us. anyway, we're going through front going to go through the front page lewis, what page of telegraph. lewis, what have we got there? well is nuclear. nuclear plants

own party as to whether they are a viable candidate movingt surprised, especially given that the partyg president who's all but expressed his desire. hired to run for re election. i would be somewhat surprised if he's strongly positioning himself for 2024 run. newsom is 55 years old . this is his 26th consecutive year in elected office. at noon, the fight for speaker of the house now in its 13th round, and he has lost once again. that would be representative kevin mccarthy. he gained 14 votes today but still failed in the 12th and 13th ballots for house speaker. it's now officially the longest speaker, election and 164 years. still, mccarthy and his allies are hopeful the deadlock will soon be broken. there were some breakthroughs yesterday and last night. i think we had the most productive talks that we've had all week. urgent negotiations happen behind closed doors, some of the concessions being floated to vote on term limits and lowering the threshold of force a vote to remove the speaker to a single member without a speaker and no members sworn in house is unable to govern. the rece

a televised testimony over partygate . we'll be discussing partygate.cial guests and friends of mine in just a moment to know what you think should be returned to. frontline politics. katty returned to frontline politics. could hopes be politics. could his hopes be scuppered by going on telly? bofis scuppered by going on telly? boris being hurt by going on telly. gracious mates . surprise, telly. gracious mates. surprise, surprise. your thoughts surprise. keep your thoughts coming share the best coming in. i'll share the best with you as the programme develops progresses . so you are develops progresses. so you are watching alastair stewart& friends hill gb news tv and radio and online had a very good day as we go through the rest of this sunday and what it is going to be cold but there will some winter sunshine around with some rain, sleet and snow showers coming through to the reason for the cold weather is because of this area low pressure. the this area of low pressure. the position this out towards the position of this out towards the east the means

we've had partygate to be trust. we've had partygate . have old partisan .. we've had the chris pincher there's pincher incident. there's been a lot badly behaved . lot of tory mp badly behaved. and i think that's one of the reasons they're doing so badly in the polls. so they can keep announcing all the policies they like. but i still they actually get of public get the trust of the public back.i get the trust of the public back. i think it really is back. i don't think it really is going ounce of going to make an ounce of difference. you know, we have this did it with the seven principles of a public life that all our public should adhere all of our public should adhere to, integrity, to, selflessness, integrity, objectivity accountability, openness and leadership . given openness and leadership. given that we now know rishi sunak is certainly guilty of not adhering the public principle of honesty . shouldn't they have the whip taken away, not just lose his cabinet position? he should be gone completely. shouldn't he ? gone completely. shouldn't he? well,

we see when we looked at the partygate scandal that what he did is bear down, bear down and refused toptance of a fixed penalty ticket that he had broken the social distancing rules, if borisjohnson has something to hide perhaps he should come clean in terms of what has happened here. so that he can give the public confidence in the processes and indeed rishi sunak as the current trimester has an opportunity to do that. i think there is a case to be answered for there is a case to be answered for the former prime minister as well. what is your view on richard sharp's position on? i what is your view on richard sharp's position on?— position on? i was not in the chamber— position on? i was not in the chamber as _ position on? i was not in the chamber as i _ position on? i was not in the chamber as i was _ position on? i was not in the chamber as i was on - position on? i was not in the chamber as i was on the - position on? i was not in the - chamber as i was on the discussion fair select committee where we had the ministerfrom fair select committee where we had the minister from the cm

it feels a bit like partygate at the moment. like one story after another and there is a school of thought that this is briefing from within tory briefing from within the tory camp. so you have johnson right, sort of briefing against zahawi and then you've got fans who are fans of rishi sunak who briefly against johnson. and that's what we're seeing here. that's what's playing out in the newspapers. what you what do you make of what do you what do you make of that? mean, there is that? well, i mean, there is always we always infighting, as we know you know, contentious issue you know, the contentious issue over is still over the leadership is still a big thing that haunts the conservative party and i think a lot of people would love to see johnson back the job. johnson back in the job. so maybe ruffling a few maybe that's ruffling a few feathers. the reality is feathers. but the reality is that external that there is also external influence these stories . and influence on these stories. and i that they're not as big i think tha

are likely to get a pretty sort of legal mystic approach from the commons in that the inquiry into partygateon before that happens ? no, i don't before that happens? no, i don't think he's going to be in any hurry to get his version out at all because he can't really disclose anything interesting in this book without harming his chances of making a comeback . so chances of making a comeback. so what do we expect then ? is it what do we expect then? is it going to be something just to fill bookshelves at the very sort of railway station and make him a quick buck. sort of railway station and make him a quick buck . yes, i think him a quick buck. yes, i think that it's absolutely fair. i think , as you say, it will be think, as you say, it will be full of jokes and. you know, it will be quite lively. but i don't think it's going to actually reveal a great deal that we don't already know about how. borisjohnson that we don't already know about how. boris johnson really ran the country because he doesn't want to spike guns for the next attempt. yeah i mean, you are a journalist yourself . would y

legal fees to help bofis £222,000 in legal fees to help boris johnson defend himself against the partygaten . now firm as this is peter's and peter's apparently awarded the contract worth two 129,700. back in august 20, 21, to provide mr. johnson with legal advice during the investigation , the house of commons privileges committee . now the privileges committee. now the pubuc privileges committee. now the public administration committee has just learned that that has now increased . to £222,000 due now increased. to £222,000 due to the length of the inquiry agreeing, though that was not a limit and could increase yet again, depending how long that inquiry . so it seems an open inquiry. so it seems an open ended check . and don't forget ended check. and don't forget this will we assume be indirectly taxpayers money to pay indirectly taxpayers money to pay their learned friends to defend the partygate allegations? we'll update you as we get more to that. now car production in the uk falling to its lowest level for some 66 years, back to the days the austin a35 perhaps latest figures release

the long partygate saga .uld voters be willing to believe him in the way they were three or four years ago. and there must be substantial question mark about or not. mr. johnson now has the persuasive power that undoubtedly once had. i talking to lord greenhill in the last houn to lord greenhill in the last hour, who was a big fan of boris johnson , saying, you know, he johnson, saying, you know, he needs to be coaxed back and you , he and others really want him back. and can understand why to an extent for the reasons that you outlined . but do you think you outlined. but do you think the conservative party in danger of looking to internally this if popular with the party popular with a certain number of mps far from all but they're not looking to the to the wider population. and perhaps that a centre ground which every party has to win to get an election victory. well, i think set the noise of our mr. johnson cos he's partly about personality , but as was the liz personality, but as was the liz truss adminis

partygate. fact that he's just going under radar , hoping going under the radar, hoping that get in default , that he'll get in by default, that he'll get in by default, that be a way to move that cannot be a way to move forward. that forward. i don't believe that the labour doesn't the labour party doesn't represent anymore represent working people anymore at all. they're the woke party and the tories don't represent aspirational people or middle classes anymore. so you know, we have we have a unity party, we have we have a unity party, we have a one party state which is just everyone's got exactly the same policies. just everyone's got exactly the same policies . they all want net same policies. they all want net zero as well. so that says nothing about you. let's, let's have it, let's bring on our great british their opportunity to on show and tell us to be on the show and tell us what they think about the topics we're discussing. and today we'll to edinburgh, we'll head to edinburgh, speak t

and i think partygate he basically boxed corner is boxed himself into a corner is the instrument of hiscomeback. downfall but a comeback. i wouldn't off but never wouldn't write it off but never write boris off. i it's write boris off. i think it's the conclusion. and then the best conclusion. and then finally , exclusive face that finally, exclusive face that 3,000,000,000 million mini tanks won't ever be on track. what's this all about, martin? well, this all about, martin? well, this interesting one. this this is an interesting one. this is this is a project called is a this is a project called ajax, which these mini tanks. ajax, which is these mini tanks. and originally this and this originally this originally started back in 2017. it's taken all this time for these takes two to be delivered to the mod. they've been put into trial and 300 troops who tried them out was shaken about. so badly by these tanks that they've had to go in for hospital care. so know it's one of those examples, one of the many examples i think you see the years of mod sort of projects that either never happen

and also no prime minister reiterated that yesterday after having already done that in terms a partygate. so want i have say when the top person in your society flagrantly breaks the law that all the time, why is a duty on anyone else in society to do that? i think that's most important evidence because. right. is that we be looking at. at the moment then a few people who've accidentally overstayed their work visas. oh, just a few. well might a more few. well might be a lot more than a few. and actually if than just a few. and actually if we follow this its natural we follow this to its natural conclusion, then look conclusion, we can't then look like people from conclusion, we can't then look like a people from conclusion, we can't then look like a special people from conclusion, we can't then look like a special against from conclusion, we can't then look like a special against people the eu a special against people who've come otherwise. otherwise. hold on. let me otherwise . wait. sorry. one otherwise. wait. sorry. one second. one second. one second, please hold on, hold on. you don'

another one still goes back to whether he misled house during the partygate and covid the stuff.o there is an account at all that he would completely overshadow the prime minister . and so for those three minister. and so for those three reasons, i'm going to say absolutely not. they're facing potentially sort of electoral annihilation. you'll be familiar with how horrific and humiliating that might be for a number of these on election night. i mean , the polls are night. i mean, the polls are looking dreadful for them . we looking dreadful for them. we saw the gb news poll this week said that the labour party won 50 and that the tories were 22% behind. yes. so there's mountain to climb. i understand all of that, but i think this horse has bolted. i mean, if the conservative party wanted boris johnson win the for them, johnson to win the for them, they should have kept him as leader. well, indeed, he might have for them, have won the election for them, or he might lost or at least he might have lost it very which i think it very badly, which i think it's a probable. it it's a mor

you look at china now , the absolute at china now, the absolute corruption of partygate that is nothing nothing. so it's probably a new zealand as well. when you talk about child poverty, she's child poverty . throughout his time in poverty. throughout his time in office , honesty completely office, honesty completely addressed the housing problems in new zealand . to you you've in new zealand. to you you've reading labour party talking points mean i've just been what were saying is completely untrue. child poverty is up. there is a housing and businesses are cratering because she locked out immigrants from the country. statistics to you really do counter your anecdotal evidence in this situation . they evidence in this situation. they do. i'll say this if amy is correct and she's the only new dealis correct and she's the only new deal is the only country in the world who weren't affected by a lockdown. you cannot have lockdown, particularly the type in she advocated and not have an economic jacinda ardern announced this zero covid policy. made very clear policy. she made it very clear

throughout all this time we have not seen we've only just seen the date set for the investigation around partygate and all of that. so that's all yet to come . he's still tainting yet to come. he's still tainting everything that he's ever touched. the part of the story last week , the secondary story last week, the secondary story from from nadhim zahawi was this loan. it was organised through the thames to boris johnson because there's some reason he didn't have enough money and needed 800 grand more . so just needed 800 grand more. so just every time. so that would be every time. so that would be every time. so that would be every time he's on that he wouldn't be able to defend the government, he would be talking about boris johnson, he wouldn't be help himself. be able to help himself. secondly, their job is to organise party and them onto organise the party and them onto an election footing. now, boris johnson a man had to johnson is a man who had to through three number tens in his short in power because he short time in power because he just couldn't get that personnel management right. so h

sense is is they're is from the public is they're sick and tired of the story, really, i mean, most partygateoved on. boris but people have moved on. boris has gone. no longer prime has gone. he's no longer prime minister to me like minister this looks to me like it something started to get it was something started to get rid ended up not rid of boris, but ended up not actually because actually happening because boris is truth is now is gone. and the truth is now there are bigger issues. the nhs , taxation growth. yeah get the votes across the stop these sort of things are big issues for most of the public. let's talk about internal workings of parliament. taxation parliament. let's about taxation and because i would and growth. because i would imagine that somebody your imagine that somebody of your persuasion that taxes persuasion and thinks that taxes are the electorate and are too high the electorate and equally perhaps that the treasury overcautious when it treasury is overcautious when it comes to economic policy. we learnt the latest learnt this week from the latest figures that growth

throughout all this time we have not seen we've only just seen the date set for the investigation around partygate and all of that. so that's all yet to come . he's still tainting yet to come. he's still tainting everything that he's ever touched. the part of the story last week , the secondary story last week, the secondary story from from nadhim zahawi was this loan. it was organised through the thames to boris johnson because there's some reason he didn't have enough money and needed 800 grand more . so just needed 800 grand more. so just every time. so that would be every time. so that would be every time. so that would be every time he's on that he wouldn't be able to defend the government, he would be talking about boris johnson, he wouldn't be help himself. be able to help himself. secondly, their job is to organise party and them onto organise the party and them onto an election footing. now, boris johnson a man had to johnson is a man who had to through three number tens in his short in power because he short time in power because he just couldn't get that personnel management right. so h

she was just partygate. yeah, let's yeah, she yeah. kendis let's look at the telegraph.an article , . yes. so this is an article, jonathan sumption, the famous lawyer who was a big critic of lockdown and he's now written, i think, a very powerful article for the telegraph about deaths and basically how they're being dnven and basically how they're being driven by health concerns that were neglected during lockdown. so most significantly, heart problems , cancer care, problems, cancer care, alzheimer' s, problems, cancer care, alzheimer's, those risen hugely because cancer referrals dropped significantly . and people at the significantly. and people at the time, oncology , uts and cancer time, oncology, uts and cancer experts said, listen , seeing experts said, listen, seeing a drop in cancer referrals , this drop in cancer referrals, this is going to create problems later the line we also had people whose treatment was cancelled and jonathan sumption said a friend of his who cancer treatment was cancelled by time it was resumed, it had spread too far. and she died. yeah
