it's about rishi sunak. rishi sunak was head boy at which school? winchester sub look correct. to school with him, what was his favourite take away? was in eastern paradise, golden house, orsloppy giuseppe? i reckon it was the third. no, it was a and b, indian and chinese. he can't decide, how will he make big decisions? early insights into the budget. laughter. you can even decide which 21. question three. his mum ran what kind of business and how did he help? he was a pharmacist. he used to work behind the counter. he worked the accounts. how old was he when he did the account? c, an early sign. in 2016, rishi sunak authored a paper — what was it on? universal credit, free ports, or why hsz might bea credit, free ports, or why hsz might be a white element? i'd love for her to be about hs two. free ports! fill in the missing words. in 2018, he co—authored a piece for the times with the headline... get a job. that was the subtext, but the headline was the subtext, but the headline was the subtext, but the headline was the tories are in deep blank, only blank blank can save us.

let's talk about richie sue neck —— -- rishi —— rishi sunak. -- rishi sunak.proved himself a very bright candidate, he's definitely a borisjohnson a very bright candidate, he's definitely a boris johnson loyalist and yes that is probably why he's got the job he got. he did incredibly well during the run—up for the general election. everyone notices all his media appearances. i don't think we should all be saying, i've heard people saying this evening that sajid javid will —— rishi sunak will just evening that sajid javid will —— rishi sunak willjust be a doormat to borisjohnson. rishi sunak willjust be a doormat to boris johnson. when rishi sunak willjust be a doormat to borisjohnson. when sajid javid said he knows —— no self—respecting minister would accept those conditions, i think he was talking about the sacking of his advisers. sajid javid has not at the moment, so sajid javid has not at the moment, so it's different. i don't think that was back one giving shade to rishi sunak. sebastian, picking up on what olivia was saying. do you think rishi sunak can

this is rishi sunak. are you pleased with your newjob? rishi sunak.in due course, oran have something to say in due course, or an opportunity will present itself for him to be asked about this elevation to chancellor. i was just asking you aboutjohn mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor, saying that sajid javid going, that that has the hand of dominic cummings all over it, but we don't know that, do we? no, and i think theissueis know that, do we? no, and i think the issue is that dominic cummings is coming as the prime minister's chief adviser, and he is obviously incredibly influential with a lot of ideas, and we've read all of that on the blogs, we know what he thinks about what and the way that it works, and of course there will be people pointing the finger at him, but ultimately borisjohnson is the prime minister. he knows what is going on here, and if he doesn't that would be a different story. he is going along with this. it might have been his idea. i don't know if we can think that dominic cummings has taken over the entire government and is doin

rishi sunak has stepped up number 11. rishi sunak has stepped up from deputy to the next level.working across number 10 and number 11 downing st for the first time. some historic differences between the chancellor and prime minister, hopefully cast aside. but there is one further reason why he is there and wait sajid javid has gone — the prime minister says he is determined to deliver for those who lent them their votes at the general election, and ifa their votes at the general election, and if a chancellor is going to constrain public spending when the prime minister wants to spend more, then that would have led to some difficulties. it is highly likely rishi sunak will be onboard for what borisjohnson is trying to achieve and will perhaps give him a bit more ofa and will perhaps give him a bit more of a free hand to try and spend on political priorities without worrying too much in the short term about the bottom line. indeed. iain, thank you very much indeed. iain what's in there for us. —— iain watson there for us. the death toll from the coronavirus outbreak in china has c

long seen as a at the treasury, rishi sunak.s a rising star, he had been mrjavid's deputy. how do you feel about taking over in these circumstances? lots to get on with, thank you very much. reshuffles, even for governments with a big majority, can and so often do come with big twists. they area often do come with big twists. they are a complicated jigsaw puzzle, and if one piece does not fit for whatever reason, the whole thing can get messy. not least because you a lwa ys get messy. not least because you always end up with people who are a bit miffed. the cabinet minister leaves home and... have you heard from the prime minister already? she soon did, and she was sacked as business secretary. cue some warm words on social media and a trundle to the backbenches. this wasjulian smith as northern ireland secretary last month. this morning the irish prime minister said he was one of britain's finest politicians of our time. after the british prime minister fired time. after the british prime ministerfired him. it sounded like he h

noi rishi sunak is basically a puppet? no i don't think so.nd any civil seven once is to know that the senior adviser is speaking in behalf of the people in the government and that's what's happened today. the problem with borisjohnson is that sajid javid is a big beast that will go to the backbenches, will he create problems in the future? i think that would be true if he is not sitting on such a big majority. ultimately, in two weeks' time sajid javid willjust be a backbench mp and borisjohnson will still be a prime minister with a very healthy majority. very good to talk to you. thank you. joining me now from westminster is harry lambert, special correspondent at the new statesman and wrote a profile of dominic cummings. so you can tell us, what is really going on? boris johnson so you can tell us, what is really going on? borisjohnson makes the decisions but how important is dominic cummings to all of us?m was not clear for a while he was the chancellor. it felt like you had two chancellors because we had dominic cummings on one hand and s

under those circumstances so we now carry on under those circumstances so we now have the rise of rishi sunak four weeks before sunak who is taking over as chancellorjust four weeks before a budget. sajid javid and boris budget. sajid javid and boris johnson seem to get on pretty well. their chemistry is pretty good. is this more about a personality clash between him and dominic cummings? yeah, dominic cummings has made it very clear what he feels about changes that need to be made to the civil service and it's very obvious, he wants to control the message coming out on the government. centralising that in terms of the most powerful part of government, i suppose isn't a huge surprise. somewhat say maybe it's a good thing. 0n the other hand, boris johnson is the prime minister. he knows absolutely what is going on here. he would have sanctioned him. it could be a case of dominic cummings taking the flak. some people don't like how they went about. it means may be borisjohnson could rise above it. i don't think we should in any way think he wasn't com pletely we should in any way think he wasn'

many more of us now but i have rishi sunak they will be a great asset., unlike his predecessor sajid javid, has had to accept sharing his staff with no 10 downing st. what was proposed, it is now going to happen, is that we bring together the back—office teams that help to advise the prime minister at no 10 and those that advise the chancellor, and i think that's sensible because as i say, we have a lot to do. no 10 downing st insists it didn't want sajid javid to leave number 11 downing st. in fact, they even tried to persuade him that having a joint advisory team between no 10 and number11 having a joint advisory team between no 10 and number 11 would actually give the treasury more influence at the heart of government. he was obviously unconvinced. but for boris johnson, his priorities mattered far more than the personnel around his cabinet table. a former adviser to sajid javid said he was given an offer that he had to refuse. sajid rightly understood that not having his own political advice would be incredibly detrimental to his decision—making powe

so who is rishi sunak?rried to the daughter of an indian it billionaire. he made a fortune of his own, before going into politics. he got his firstjob in government just two years ago, as a junior minister, before moving to the treasury. now he's chancellor, in control of the nation's finances, he could now loosen the borrowing constraints he's inherited. the prime minister is such a fan that he chose him as a stand in in last year's noisy tv election debates. nicola sturgeon? if i could just say on spending... nicola sturgeon? the then chancellor shared a trip to see the new star wars film with his deputy and now replacement. mrjavid did win some epic battles against top aides of the pm — today, no 10 strikes back. sojulian smith — who has been widely acclaimed for his work as northern ireland secretary — was one of those who was sacked in the reshuffle. mr smith was appointed just seven months ago and oversaw a monumental talks process that led to the northern ireland parties agreeing a deal to restore a

anna, there were suspicions that number ten was prepared for sajid javid's move as treasury chief rishi sunaksunak was summoned within minutes to take his old boss'sjob. sunak was summoned within minutes to take his old boss's job. jack touched on how quick this was. meetings are often frenetic, people going in and out of the building are illogical times. there is not a lot of time to lose, you sort of have a if then, then what? so you have to get them in. i don't think we can read that much into the timing of him entering the building. i think what is clear while people on both sides, onjavid's side and johnson's sides, onjavid's side and johnson's side may have expected a row. it's plausible that both sides may have expected someone to give some give. so it was a surprise, i think most people were expecting for a fight. rishi sunak is very well liked in downing street was that they put him in his position of sajid javid's deputy, he is frequently sent to tv or radio in sticky situations to hold the line under pressure. he is often the guy they turn to. sol think they have almost been groomi

if you want to talk about people being numerate, both rishi sunak and sajid javid are former bankers.eutsche bank for goldman in terms of experience. both are millionaires in their own right, so i don't know if we could speak to the literal numeral competence of it, but this point of compliance is certainly very interesting when you have sajid javid coming out and saying in very strong language that he couldn't accept the job on the terms it was offered, and broaden that out to say what self—respecting minister could accept the job on the terms it was offered? that gives the point about compliance more have to stop by i suppose it might also be a reference to the northern ireland secretary, julian smith, who was also dismissed today, wasn't he? that's right, the line we've heard from officials in number ten when they've been less than generous about some of the cabinet members, some of whom are now departed privately, they keep saying he's not really a team player, not really a tea m really a team player, not really a team player. what that actually means is he doesn't do exactly what

where do you stand on this question of rishi sunak?erpinning which is that you need quite bold policy in the wake of brexit. you've got to decide. you place your bets in one direction or another, and there is a bit of irony. a lot of people say, "poor sajid javid" because they don't like borisjohnson. actually, if sajid javid wanted to spend the money... he is less inclined to be an austerity figure than perhaps sajid javid, who is a bit more in the tradition of tory chancellors. there's that irony there. i think what boris johnson's view is, certainly driven by dominic cummings, but borisjohnson is, in the end, the difference between the organ grinder and the monkey. and if you're boris johnson, you want to place your bets in a clear direction, whether it is wise to listen that —— loosen that spending corset, we don't really know, but we do know that he intends to do it and he thinks that that is what he needs to do, particularly to deliver on his prospectus, i think that is going to happen. whether anyone likes it or not. going to ot

one advantage of putting rishi sunak in thejob is it was “— putting rishi sunak in thejob is it was —the detail and to some extent number10 can hit the ground running. they've got to get the background of these two teams in place as well. they are giving themselves a bit of leeway by not really tying themselves down to a specific date. the other question is with all the pressure on the prime minister, from some of these newly elected conservative mps in seats that have been labour since the war, they been asking for things for their local areas to make sure they are not just their local areas to make sure they are notjust mps whether it is opening railway lines, putting more money into the local health service. we could perhaps then see a change of tack in the budget with the taps of tack in the budget with the taps of public spending turned on a bit more. i don't think it's going to be some kind of free for all because i'm also told that a cabinet this morning the prime minister was emphasising precisely what sajid javid was telling individual departments, that they have to look for
