public uproar over government violations of covid-19 safety precautions in what became known as partygatel lewis has also been accused of trying to suppress stories about his connection to the phone-hacking scandal at rupert murdoch's "news of the world" newspaper in britain. the owner of "the washington post," amazon founder jeff bezos, has supported lewis. for more, we are joined by chris lehmann, d.c. bureau chief for "the nation" where his recent piece is headlined "how the publisher of the washington post allegedly helped cover up a scandal." chris, welcome back to democracy now! it was great having you on on friday responding to the debate and we will ask you to talk a little more about the fallout from the weekend, but first, lay out what is happening at "the washington post." >> it is not good, amy. will lewis is basically the successor to catherine graham, the famed publisher. lewis is sort of plain the part of the nixon -- and this boris johnson scandal. he went to great lengths to tell johnson aids not to disclose sensitive communications after public investigation was launched

what happened in the party, you gave three reasons, the chaos under boris johnson and liz truss, partygates rather than country and i know you are trying calmly to explain it this morning but the recent history of the tory party is a litany of disaster. it's not that you just had three things that went wrong. you just had three things that went wronu. ~ ~' you just had three things that went wronu. ~ ~ ., , wrong. well, i think there were lots of thins wrong. well, i think there were lots of things you _ wrong. well, i think there were lots of things you could _ wrong. well, i think there were lots of things you could point _ wrong. well, i think there were lots of things you could point to, - wrong. well, i think there were lots of things you could point to, i - of things you could point to, i think those are the three substantive things that we got wrong. yes, the british people want to elect united parties and we did not show that united front that people want to see, i fully accept that. but i think it's also important to say when you look back at the last 1a years, over [i important t

there was the covid9 19 pandemic and big missteps there, there was partygate as it was called here, manye were parties going on, and when that that all leaked out, it seemed like a symbol about how they'd become complacent. they weren't necessarily obeying the rules. kier starmer, the new prime minister from the lay labour party, made a fact in his first press conference today of explaining his role as one of service. his government will be one of service that a will put the country before his party. the reason he's saying all that is not just because he wants us to believe that about a his government, because he's pointedly saying that's not what the previous government did. he and many in the electorate believe they were serving more to keep themselves in power, scrambling from one disaster to the next in order to try to strengthen their position, ultimately, had the opposite effect and that's why they've been kicked out. they have been kicked out, in a way, more than he's been put in the power because despite the landslide victory, this wasn't really so much a vote for the labour part

and whilst i don't particularly want to blame partygate on one person, it was noteworthy that boris johnsonand rishi sunak brought their principal private secretaries from their previous department, the principal private secretary to the prime minister, in my view, needs to be of the utmost probity and the utmost integrity. and whilst it's laudable in some ways to bnng it's laudable in some ways to bring a private secretary who knows the minister well , often knows the minister well, often you may not get that type of absolutely explicit independent integrity of advice that you need. >> i think i understand you. i mean, martin reynolds was a former ambassador , indeed. i former ambassador, indeed. i mean, he was not a rookie. it wasn't his first time around. >> i know you met. that makes the point even more strongly. if you ask me, >> is it your thesis in your book? do you want to hold up your book? i will, the intimacy of power. >> is it intimacy of power? there we are. >> is it your thesis in this book that something has gone badly wrong, >> something has gone wrong. whether it's gone bad

partygate was on the doorstep. i mean, people haven't forgotten about partygate and boris johnson.hadn't forgotten about liz truss disastrous mini—budget and her 49 days in office. and they they've just felt there was the corruption. there's all the scandals and it was time for a change. that old fashioned slogan was the one that was the one that resonated on the doorstep. but beyond that , if doorstep. but beyond that, if you look at the lib dem position because it's relevant to the conservatives we can now walk from or travel from eastbourne to north devon without leaving a lib dem constituency. we've got this swathes, this kind of orange wall now across the south, right the way across the south, right the way across the south of the country, and those people in places like henley , people in places like henley, you know, they weren't. i'm not saying immigration is not an issue. of course it is. but they were concerned about the cost of living, about the state of the nhs, about the economy falling to bits , about the sewage in the to bits, about the sewage in the rivers. that's w

. >> but that trust is battered and bruised from boris johnson's partygate scandal to leadership failings that saw three prime ministers in 2022 alone to a very messy brexit. many are fed up with the toys. >> i mean, i think people are ticks off there's a sense of just wanting any kind of change. their decimation, i think will can only be expected. >> this will be the first election that i've advised in through i won't be voting conservative current polls indicate the opposition labour party could win by a landslide ushering in a center-left government led by keir starmer. but you won't change. you have to vote for it the. makeup of british politics is shorter, undergo a seismic shift but because of britain's first-past-the-post system, labour could win, but fail to gain a clear mandate thanks for coming everybody. smaller parties for the far right in an outsized voice amid the political uncertainty, the new prime minister will inherit a mess. a cost of living crisis fueled in part by stagnant economy the country's beloved national health service is understaffed. and overseas stretched an

they point to all the senate ensures that boris johnson underwent with his remember partygate and older people who just fed up a 14 years of a party that didn't seem to be delivering. so this is the result that we've had overnight. actually, there's been building obviously in the polls for the past year or so it was a little bit expected. of course things happen much more quickly over there, across the taiwan as, as you know, i don't have to tell you i'm looking at this right now that there is a new prime minister. we look at this new majority in parliament. what does that mean for us-uk relations? >> well, i think is going to be good because this, this new prime minister has made no secret of being a total alliance person. he's not somebody obviously he didn't want brexit. brexit was not on the agenda at this selection where he was very, very keen and very direct on how important the transatlantic relationship is. he will want to get good trade deals if at all possible. trouble with the united states, because he's going to also try to not go back into you because that's not possible ri

becoming a national name during the pandemic, but fined during partygate.fter tensions with borisjohnson. your own an economic adviser said that that would lead to mortgage rates and interest rates going up. he lost to liz truss in the leadership race but ended up in office, after her administration imploded. he would claim that his legacy is financial stability. others would argue that it is leading an election campaign of historically disastrous proportions which has left his party now searching for their fifth leader in five years. joe pike, bbc news, westminster. the full extent of the tory rout. the liberal democrats converted an energetic and memorable campaign, into many new seats. ed davey focussed resources on areas across the south west of england held by the conservatives. they also took the seats of the former prime minister borisjohnson in henley, david cameron in witney, and theresa may in maidenhead, from where hannah miller reports. # sweet caroline. ..# a series of historic wins that felt... # so good, so good! ..as the liberal democrats wo

the other thing that kept coming up over and over again was the loss of trust from partygate. were really, really angry, both at boris johnson, who was obviously prime minister at the time, but also at rishi sunak, for his part in that, even though it is something he's apologised for and something that we heard quite a lot, was that we heard quite a lot, was that image that people keep coming back to of the queen at the funeral of prince philip, sitting on her own at a time when parties were going on in downing street that even though you know, it might be easy to think it was a few years ago, people have moved on. people don't care. voters are not stupid. they've got very long memories. and that's something that really, really impacted people. i think for a lot of people. i think for a lot of people who maybe were wavering, that was what pushed them over the edge and made them for vote change. >> some have joked that the labour party would have had the queen in a hazmat suit. >> oh goodness me. >> oh goodness me. >> well, there you go. but you never know what would have happe

. >> i agree, we should have the bloke who did the whole partygate scandal for itv. >> i mean, good griefe, we should have celebrated d—day. >> thank you very, very much, both of you. lovely stuff. all right. who do you agree with? did suella braverman go too far with their comments? excuse me? condemning the progress flag. rita on your say says suella is absolutely correct. i wish more of these politicians would grow some and follow her lead. right? shannara on x says yes, suella went too far. trans people are constantly being targeted and it's constantly being targeted and wsfime constantly being targeted and it's time it stopped. danni says she's right. if the conservatives had listened to her the first time, she told the truth over these hate marches, they wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating defeat. right? let's see what your verdict is. 10% of you think that suella braverman went too far on the comments , and 90% of you said comments, and 90% of you said that she didn't. right. look, coming up as suella braverman and robert jenrick, it says, well , she says he's and robert jenri

but he overreacted to covid and trashed the tory brand with partygate.russ did the same with the economy and that laudable but terribly executed mini—budget. now i am no suella braverman cheerleader. i see her as a political opportunist and a potentially divisive figure with a patchy record in government. but you've got to say she does have political courage . and while she political courage. and while she may be a controversial figure, she seems to be the only person in the conservative movement right now that has acknowledged what happened in july. right now that has acknowledged what happened in july . writing what happened in july. writing in the telegraph newspaper, she said if we don't recover the voters that we deliberately and arrogantly spurned, we will turn the conservative party into the 21st century version of the 20th century liberal party. and we can do better than being a collection of fanatical , collection of fanatical, irrelevant, centrist cranks who make it our business to insult our would be voters for not being as smug and self—right

i think when you look back over the last 14 years, there's been a huge amount of focus on partygate., and young people have not been able to get on the housing ladder because the homes haven't been built. so keir starmer needs to focus on that. and then also focusing on the infrastructure around those homes. so there are places that people want to live because you just don't want these pop up towns where nobody wants to live. towns where nobody wants to uve.the towns where nobody wants to live. the other area he's looking at, and i think this might open some doors politically for reform and also for the right of the conservative party, as he wants to bring in closer alignment with the european union to get rid of the red tape. and that will mean and it's going to be an uncomfortable one, potentially saying to the european union , whatever rules european union, whatever rules you wish to change, particularly around things like chemicals, car manufacturing, we're going to go along with those rules. and in return, our companies aren't going to have to go through all the aeons of paperwo

that the former chancellor, jeremy hunt, had lied about the state of the finances lying to even to partygateof this. he was seen as a by many, as a bit of a fair dealer, certainly on the tory side, in trying to put right some of the more difficult the difficulties caused by the liz truss time in office. so friends of jeremy hunt, who told me this lunchtime that that rachel reevesis lunchtime that that rachel reeves is an old fashioned socialist economist, all this idea of a new labour, chancellor is for the birds. his friends say they think she's shown her hand properly. well, next, hear from these two individuals in the first week of september , the first week of september, when we'll have those treasury questions ahead of the budget on october the 30th. but i've been doing my own bit of work on this, remembering back to an interview that i did for gb news back at the end of may. when i asked rachel rees what her plans were for taxation and she gave us this answer on wealth taxes, which could come back to haunt her, i think on wealth taxes. yet is that the that's the that's the treasure che

actually, if you look at you know, all of the partygate nonsense and all of the things that they haveot putting a shift in after all of the things he's done over the past five years to change the labour party. so the idea that in some way anybody is surprised that he sees his family on a friday evening, i think it's actually i think it's completely ridiculous. i honestly, i do not know whether to laugh or cry at this. >> okay . alison mcgovern, thank >> okay. alison mcgovern, thank you for coming out swinging. i'll let you knock off. and it's only 5:15. thank you very much for joining us on the show. now, forjoining us on the show. now, gb news is, of course, the people's channel. and so we wanted to know what the great british public think about sir keir starmer's admission that he wanted to avoid work after 6 pm. on a friday to spend time with his family. does it mean, as some tories have claimed, that it would be a part time prime minister or sir keir right to prioritise his family? we went out to an about in birmingham to find out what the people there thought . people there thoug

after the chaos of partygate, when they knew trust in politics was at an all time low, they gave falser cost of living crisis. they promised solutions that they knew could never be paid for roads that would never be built, public transport that would never arrive, hospitals that would never treat a single patient. they spent like there was no tomorrow because they knew that someone else would pick up the bill. and then in the election, and perhaps this is the most shocking part, they campaigned on a platform to do it all over again . more unfunded it all over again. more unfunded tax cuts, more spending pledges . tax cuts, more spending pledges. but all the time knowing they had no ability to pay for them, no regard for the taxpayer, no respect for ordinary hard working people. i will never do that. i will restore our country's economic stability. i will make the tough choices. i will make the tough choices. i will fix the foundations of our economy so we can rebuild britain and make every part of our country better off. i commend this statement to the house. >> may i now call the shad

when you compare the watered down performances we have at the covid inquiry or partygate and many otherica. now it's all about totally loving it and knowing how to do it. here's michelle dewberry dewbs& co. of course six till seven. the queen, a prime time political debate jubes what's on your menu? hello, martin. >> well, everything that you would expect. >> i'll pick up on that, on that conversation that you've just been having there about that cross examining. >> also many people now saying that biden needs to stand down immediately. >> does he ? >> does he? >> does he? >> and more importantly, what does all this mean for the uk here? >> does it make a victory for trump more likely? and how would that play out with a labour government here? i want to look at the skills strategy that was announced today as well. and a really interesting story that saw. >> we all know that anti—social behaviour, martin, is an absolute blight on society, but what do you do about it ? what do you do about it? >> well, in grimsby, they're going to trial this new system where they're going to be blasting o

repeatedly by the pubuc vilified repeatedly by the public and indeed many elements of the for media partygateetty much every politician that i know has had death threats, so this latest assassination attempt on donald trump comes as no great surprise and unfortunately comes after us president joe biden said it was time to put trump in the bull's eye. in his statement on truth, social, donald trump said, in this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united and show our true character as americans, remaining strong and determined and not allow evil to win. and of course, in response to the incident, joe biden said that there was no room for political violence. >> there is no place in america for this kind of violence. it's sick . it's sick at the bottom sick. it's sick at the bottom line is that the trump rally was a rally that he should have been able to be conducted peacefully, without any problem. but the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this is just unheard of. it's just not appropriate. we everybody, everybody must condemn it . every
