the one we are all rather perplexed about is penny mordaunt. been in her rule for two months. as you said, it was a job that she loved and she only did an interview with us last week where she talked about how important that rule was to her. it is quite surprising that she has gone, potentially as a speculative mother that she may be promoted. their research suggestions that she and hunt could have been doing a job swap. one wonders what is happened there, given we have had no news on where jeremy hunt is headed. the man who was always accused of knifing, michael gove, has been brought even closer, we think. there are rumours that michael gove will be promoted. that kind of makes sense to boris. he has his very grand plans, but he is likely to do a lot of delegation. he has very clear ideas and he is one who boris might want to delegate to. that sense and it might make sense of bringing the tory party together. it is interesting listening to nigel eva ns, it is interesting listening to nigel evans, quite excited about dominic cummings coming bac

penny mordaunt, she was all of this.er of mr hunt, absolutely, but she was also a brexiteer and it seems by all accounts quite popular in the department she was leading, which was the ministry of defence. she did get sacked, but amber rudd remained in position. she is a prominent remain supporter, and she did a very good job of putting boris johnson's case forward. she is a good media communicator, and i think newsnight was doing a special one, and she was a very good advocate for mr hunt. historically, she is really not very good friends with boris johnson. if you go back to the debate on the 2016 referendum, she said she wouldn't feel safe letting borisjohnson drive her home. said she wouldn't feel safe letting boris johnson drive her home. that was a good crack, actually. it is interesting that she has accepted a position in her cabinet and that he has wanted her. she came round to the possibility of no deal though. she came round to the possibility of no dealthough. but she came round to the possibility of no deal th

yes, some of them had been surprising, the most surprising was penny mordaunt, the defence secretary,anfare a couple of months ago when she came in as the first female defence secretary in this country, and yet, she hasn't been offered anotherjob. i thought when i heard it that she had been offered something she didn't want, but that hasn't happened, she has been sacked. she has backed jeremy hunt, as did liam fox, i'm not sure if that was the reason. she did also vote for theresa may's deal, so that could be the reason as well. he is trying to get a unified cabinet. we have had some others, priti patel as home secretary and dominic raab as foreign secretary, and he is the most senior of the other secretaries of state, waiting to see what michael gove is going to get. he is currently still in number 10, that will be fascinating. the man, of course, who last time round pulled the rug out from underneath boris johnson, who then stood down in the leadership race, no then went on to win it. it looks like they have made up, and! win it. it looks like they have made up, and i think he knows

penny mordaunt. then you have such a —— sajid javid. to be... penny mordaunt. it is probably wrong. who can possibly tell the secrets? it is likely to involve iain duncan smith who could land the role of chief whip, a very difficultjob, because the arithmetic is still against borisjohnson. because the arithmetic is still against boris johnson. he would have against boris johnson. he would have a very interesting rabble contingent on his backbenchers as well, who detest him. so that would be... didn't detest him. so that would be... didn‘t die reader david davis is even. . . didn‘t die reader david davis is even... “— didn‘t die reader david davis is even... —— didn‘t i read? you know you read these links. you read the think you read the menu think who knows? you always think how do they get employed anyway? it is very strange. look at the sunday telegraph. hunter set to freeze around assets as it wants uk —— hunt set to freeze around‘s assets. he can set it in motion, can‘t he? set to freeze around‘s assets. he can set it in motion, can't he? the point is it is

in one of the most radical reshuffles ever seen, jeremy hunt, penny mordaunt, liam fox and 14 otherse left the cabinet. among the replacements are sajid javid as chancellor, priti patel as home secretary and dominic raab as foreign secretary. i will do everything in my power to keep our country everything in my power to keep our cou ntry safe, everything in my power to keep our country safe, our people secure and also to fight the scourge of crime that we see on our streets. we will have detail and analysis and we will be reporting on the range of policy proposals made by the new prime minister. also tonight... keeping cool in the heat as the met office says the uk could record its highest ever temperature tomorrow. and ireland put england to the sword, bowling them out forjust ireland put england to the sword, bowling them out for just 85 ireland put england to the sword, bowling them out forjust 85 runs on a humiliating first day of their test at lord's. in sport on bbc news, ireland embarrass england at the home of cricket, bowling them out for just the home of cricket, bowling th

the defence secretary, penny mordaunt who backed mr hunt for the tory leadership and anotherjeremy huntupporter the international trade secretary liam fox are among others heading to the backbenches. former home secretary sajid javid is the new chancellor, priti patel becomes home secretary, and former brexit secretary dominic raab becomes the new foreign secretary. dominic raab becomes the new foreign secretary. theresa may steps down as prime minister and bids farewell to downing street, handing her resignation to the queen after making her final speech outside number ten. but boris johnson's first day in office is marked by protests across london including climate activists who disrupted his journey to buckingham palace to be appointed pm by the queen. good evening from westminster, on a day that saw a new prime minister installed in downing street. borisjohnson met the queen at buckingham palace this afternoon, becoming the fourteenth prime minister of her reign. minutes later he was outside number ten, making a commitment to be out of the eu by the end of october ‘no ifs or buts‘ h

penny mordaunt, who backed borisjohnson,

obviously you have a penny mordaunt, the first ever female defence secretary who took up her postjusto took up her post just a couple of months ago. she is someone who has not supported borisjohnson, ago. she is someone who has not supported boris johnson, she ago. she is someone who has not supported borisjohnson, she went to jeremy hunt. i think borisjohnson has a jeremy hunt. i think borisjohnson hasa dilemma jeremy hunt. i think borisjohnson has a dilemma here. if you does re move has a dilemma here. if you does remove someone who has a dilemma here. if you does remove someone who the first female defence secretary after just remove someone who the first female defence secretary afterjust a few months in the job, that would look quite vindictive. it says this report recommends all senior officers from brigadier level and above present on mandatory training courses and cause for a culture and behaviours are. what do you make of all this? i think it is something lots of different professions and spheres of work have gone through in recent yea rs, spheres of work have gone through in

the big surprises the departure of the defence secretary, penny mordaunt and the exit of the foreignhip rivaljeremy hunt. among their replacements committed brexiteers including priti patel as home secretary and dominic raab as foreign secretary and the reappearance of michael gove as the man charged with driving through no deal preparation. thatjob done it was time for mrjohnson to make his first appearance in the commons as prime minister and set out his plan for government — unsurprisingly dominated by brexit. he said the first step was to restore trust in democracy. the uk is better prepared for that situation than many believe, but we are not as ready yet as we should be. in the 98 days that remain to us, we must turbo—charge our preparations to make sure there is as little disruption as possible to our national life. and i believe that is possible with the kind of national effort that the british people have laid before and will make again. i have today instructed the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster to make these preparations his top priority. i have asked the cabinet secr

sajid javid is going to be chancellor, and penny mordaunt for home secretary, and so who knows?y'll be in and out, shuffled on beds,... more than likely. trolleys. because we don't want to pay for bed. you would call it a gurney. i would, or even a trolley.” bed. you would call it a gurney. i would, or even a trolley. i thought a gurney was one of those things that came down from the ceiling. no, in hospitals, they are gurneys. you don't watch enough pr, or grey's anatomy, did you? i do, don't watch enough pr, or grey's anatomy, did you? ido, it don't watch enough pr, or grey's anatomy, did you? i do, it is my antidote to all of this. back to the sunday times, ministers took our eye off the ball over iran threat, then we have that picture of the moment those iranian masked men descended onto that british flagged vessel. how scary. this is an example of how everything is ground to a shuddering, screeching halt at westminster because of brexit. how is this to do with brexit? mps have talked about the fact that there has been no business, no discussion of anything because of what i

not have expected him to alienate such as the defence secretary, no longer defence secretary, penny mordauntk her yet she was, unceremoniously. it does raise questions about whether boris johnson is really going to rule with the broad church of the conservative party let alone the broad church of the country in mind. perhaps painting himself yet again into another corner. and, when you look at the speech was a speech to the 52 rather than the a8 of the referendum. it was full of ambition and optimism but there was no signal, as we had with theresa may, that she was going to try and bring the country together. there was enough of that and there was also a lot of electioneering stuff in there. more police, more money for schools, for people ‘s, all sites are things where someone in the treasury will have been trying to work out how he was going to funnel this stuff. and that has led many to suspect that boris johnson is planning for an early election. it may not be what they want but it may be the only way out of the deadlock in parliament because at the end of the day, that majority is now do

jeremy hunt, formerjustice secretary david gauke, rory stewart from international development and penny mordauntestminster. 15 sackings, he is certainly making his mark but he has to unite the party? that's right, which, as ever, is always a lord of the tory party, particularly when divisions over europe also on display. boris johnson has always flourished and appalled, maybe in equal measure, by breaking the rules and pushing conventions and he is doing that tonight by having such a dramatically about. this is officially the biggest clear out ever of a governing party in political history. some people think, great, he is getting on with it, the cabinet has been full of no hopers who have not been able to make decisions, but it is going down extremely badly with other senior conservatives, he has said it is not a new government, it is a warped ta keover a new government, it is a warped takeover and will not last. some continuity, sajid javid, sources tell me, is believed to be becoming the chancellor. previously the home secretary, already in a big job and he is believed to move into qatar numbe

the sacking of penny mordaunt by borisjohnson means that her successor, ben wallace, is the fourth defence a crisis in the gulf which has led to criticism that the royal navy doesn't have enough ships to protect british tankers. lord houghton, chief of the defence staff from 2013 to 2016, says the size of the surface fleet of the navy is too small to support the idea of a "global britain". it is not turmoil, and i mean there is an extent to which, institutionally, defence and the mod can quickly breathe in new ministers and all that, and as long as the, dare i say, the enduring strategy remains the same and the message remains the same and the message remains the same about what our critical concerns are and the things that need to change, but nevertheless i think because of the business of the importance of trust, both internally within the department, and then externally within our alliances and our friends, and don't get me wrong, ben wallace comes with a very good pedigree... and i suppose in his entry is what is happening in the gulf, and you talked about critical concerns, gulf, and

today the minister for women and equalities penny mordaunt is outlining how she plans to tackle the barriersning. we are starting right back in school, the choices that schoolchildren make about what courses to do, the gender stereotypes that are played upon them, we are going to be doing some work around that because we have identified that as a major factor, it does not set people up to make the best career choices. but, we are also looking at support and making a better childcare offer, the childcare system is massively complicated and needs to be simplified and made it easierfor people to understand what support they can access. we are looking at introducing measures which will actually help us have more equal pa rental leave, actually help us have more equal parental leave, when caring for children. we are looking at employment rights for carers including leave for carers. and at other stages in live smack about peoples lives, when they get divorced, making sure that pension pots are included in that and lots of other policies to ensure that women are going to be more financially resili

we were talking to penny mordaunt there about the football.he irrigation system around the entire site at wimbledon is so clever that if any pa rt wimbledon is so clever that if any part of it doesn't work, for example the part that water is the plans automatically, then the head gardener is alerted straightaway through the use of sensors, and an automatic messages sent to him. but as you can see, martin is busily watering the plants with a hose so the old—fashioned watering the plants with a hose so the old —fashioned system watering the plants with a hose so the old—fashioned system is also employed here. you can see the lovely hydrangeas, some petunias, and that is our limit of what is in that particular flowerbed. there are over 50,000 plants and flowers here on site. it is a beautiful start to the day. the temperatures have picked up quite nicely through the day, the sun is shining and the forecast is a dry one. once again we will see sunny skies. at times there will see sunny skies. at times there will be cloud coming over, and then we w

of the votes in the election is refusing to go to defence, which means the defence secretary, penny mordauntt that people like the fact is boris. you don't talk about jeremy and to riza... is boris. you don't talk about jeremy and to riza. .. jeremy hunt is a much more negative term. it is a trail of strength the prime minister has to win. it is his first day in number 10 to david dobbie has to set is governor. he won with two—thirds of the vote, more than half of mps, two—thirds, if he doesn't accept a demotion because the backbenchers, jeremy hunt. taking up the point, borisjohnson has jeremy hunt. taking up the point, boris johnson has become conservative leader, prime minister this afternoon, just over 90,000 people voted for him. what about a general election? when might that happen? more people live in plymouth or swindon or doncaster or we can then voted for this prime minister. more than voted for gordon brown. the problem is he won't get his brexit by the end of october. what does he do? does he go for a general election? the people's though? does he just carry on? his options, he h

the defence secretary penny mordaunt is urging iran to de—escalate the situation after a royal navy warshiped away. iran had been threatening retaliation after one of its tankers was siezed last week by british royal marines off the coast of gibraltar. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. _by —— by british royal marines. iran's revolutionary guard regularly patrol the narrow waterways in and around the strait of hormuz. a major highway for oil and international shipping. these pictures, taken earlier this year of an iranian exercise, show the type of fast boat that harassed a british tanker last night in what is being viewed as an attempt to seize it. the tanker, british heritage, was entering the strait of hormuz from the gulf when it was approached by three armed, fast iranian boats. the incident began near the disputed island of abu musa, claimed by iran. british officials say the iranian boats tried to force the tanker to change course into iranian waters but a royal navy warship rushed to its aid, positioning herself right next to the tanker and exporting her to safety. th
