i imagine rishi i marginalseat.riortoday, what now? certainly in the coming hours, prior today, there was speculation. there may be a reshuffle today. especially if the results had all gone against the tories. you think that will happen? you think that they will bed down for the summer? recesses hours away. i can ever really predict when there are reshuffles. they happen so frequently. it has been like buses. you wait for one, then there are four at once. i think rishi sunak is ready to reshuffle. when he does it in haste... he acts quickly sometimes. sometimes that is to the frustration of some of his mps. he seems to be playing a long game, and they say, the game is getting shorter. there are signs that we saw with james cleverly coming out saying, they would have to be dragged out of king charles's grand foreign office building, fingernails on the parquet. that can sometimes turn out differently. i do get the impression that rishi sunak pass early choices were about safety, keeping the right of his party on board

so yes, rishi constituents.i sunak has given himself a little bit breathing room, but the bit of breathing room, but the situation he gets back situation when he gets back after the recess be even after the recess could be even worse than it is today. interesting there was rumours that he was going to reshuffle his cabinet today as a sort of distraction tactic . he has distraction tactic. he has decided now to postpone that reshuffle, but perhaps that's the cat that he's going to pull out of the bag when his mps come back from recess boiling over with rage from their constituents. perhaps a big reshuffle to take the headlines away from him will be his answer i >> -- >> we're lam >> we're still looking at pictures of selby olivia, as we await the arrival of what will be a pretty triumphant looking sir keir starmer. but he has to be a little bit careful as well, doesn't he? because this is the result in uxbridge and ruislip not a sign that labour needs to be a little bit careful when it comes to their green polici

this is the chancellor rishi sunak was the chancellor rishi sunak was the chancellor rishi sunak wasncellor part of the government that championed the green new revolution that boris johnson put in place , part of johnson put in place, part of the green new revolution was the nonh the green new revolution was the north sea transition deal, turning its back on the north sea , moving jobs out of the sea, moving jobs out of the nonh sea, moving jobs out of the north sea , declining to issue north sea, declining to issue new licences as part of the delivery of this government. is the are the esg regulations which you said come on to that which you said come on to that which you said were nerdy, but they are incredibly be pernicious and they affect the nonh pernicious and they affect the north sea as well. these new licences will not be given effect to largely because . the effect to largely because. the oil companies are being taxed to the hilt. 75% corporation tax. there's no point them making more investment in an area. they can't make profits out of, partly because of the esg regulati

we heard rishi sunak talking about that a little earlier on.ies happy with america sending these weapons. is that going to cause issues at this nato meeting in lithuania this week? first, i wouldn't say that's quite the case. most countries in nato, as prime minister sunak said, are parties to this convention and so are not in a position to provide these munitions themselves or to use them. that does not mean that they are opposing the us doing so, because they see what russia has been doing in ukraine, including with its use of these types of weapons, and that needs to be stopped. and as far as this goes with the nato meeting, i don't think it's a significant issue for nato at all. as you know, nato as an alliance is not doing much to support ukraine at all. it is all individual allies making their own efforts in a variety of different ways and coordinated through this process that secretary of defense austin leads. so it's not really something that is a nato issue at this point. what i do think the issue will be at nato is what to say about u

rishi sunak needs, isn't it?he stood on the step of downing street. i mean, we were talking about steps of downing street, but there one. he there is only, in fact, one. he stood on the step of downing street promised a government street and promised a government of . and whether you of integrity. and whether you like it or not, hearing about chris pincher, again, it feeds into that narrative, doesn't it , of sleaze . this is , of tory sleaze. this is literally the last thing he needs. literally the last thing he needs . absolute needs. absolute >> and the problem when you raise the bar so high and you talk about professionalism and integrity , is that the least integrity, is that the least little thing, it just blows up in your face. and you're right. i mean, obviously this happened pnor i mean, obviously this happened prior to rishi sunak becoming prime minister. this time last yeah prime minister. this time last year. it happened . but, um, but year. it happened. but, um, but yeah, it's just another, um, ghost
