there is an opportunity, and rishi sunak put that to businesspeople today because being within the u.ksingle market, within the eu single market, it does have a privileged position. sunak said it perhaps was the best economic zone in the world. perhaps again he is overselling, but he does have a point. >> we talk about opportunities here. in terms of opportunities, some people say that sunak has played at masterstroke, even to his cabinet members who are brought brexiteers. part of the erg group, hard right wing part of the conservative party, they have actually said this agreement is ok. i'm just wondering about what the status is of the hard right in the conservative party if these two individuals are reflective of the right wing and the er j or if there is a split in the party now. >> one of the big debates is -- how powerful is the erg hard-line now? we saw it reduced around 20 people who voted against theresa may the first time, and people are right. of course, the dup misjudge things terribly. they rejected theresa may's deal, which was trying to help them help reconcile this dil

. it britain, seems very different with rishi sunak-— rishi sunak.n — rishi sunak. it really does. that very question greeted _ rishi sunak. it really does. that very question greeted rishi - rishi sunak. it really does. that l very question greeted rishi sunak rishi sunak. it really does. that - very question greeted rishi sunak as he arrived in the courtyard a couple of hours ago asking whether france was friend or foe, of hours ago asking whether france was friend orfoe, picking up on the question put to liz truss in the summer when she said the jury was still out. rishi sunak told us on the train he was never of that view, certainly not of that view now, and what is really striking is the warmth of the relationship between the two leaders we saw as they arrived here, slapping each other on the back, shaking hands for what seemed like an eternity, the prime minister hopes that alongside his new deal with the eu on brexit in northern ireland helps if you like remove a stone from the issue of the uk- remove a stone from the issue of the uk— france r

and what rishi sunak.few weeks and why he has introduced this legislation that believes legislation is that he believes that stopping the small boats we keep hearing this phrase over and again no and over again. that's no accident. focussed , as accident. it's been focussed, as they say, and very, very popular with the public . rishi sunak with the public. rishi sunak believes that he can draw a draw a line between himself and keir starmer by being serious about this, by being showing that he's acting on this. because when keir laid out his five pillars for government until whatever he called it, it wasn't this a few ago. it wasn't listed at all. so rishi sunak is hoping that this can be an area which he can really own. but the issue, as you say , that he's not you say, that he's not necessarily trusted to actually a grip on it. the legislation that he's laid out makes all the right noises, but people instinctively are beginning to see the holes it and there are quite a few holes. one of them is that what

how do you think the is treating rishi sunak right now? is he getting slightly better for him? he point that in terms of voting intention and labour remain a country mile out of the conservatives but as far as sunak versus storm is concerned it's a much closer affair . well it's a much closer affair. well i'm not sure that's entirely accurate when . you look at the accurate when. you look at the when you look at our latest poll, you see the two, see the rishi sunak is a —16 in terms of his net approval and keir starmer is on plus 11 which by historical standards is a good school and also compared rishi sunakis school and also compared rishi sunak is very good . labour sunak is very good. labour continues to have a lead that is well the double double figures over the conservatives across all of the across all of the polls and it demonstrates that the weather if you like to use your analogy, is very cloudy the moment. but having said that i would say that the last week indicates that it might be about to stop raining. i that would be the best way to the best way to characterise it

this is what rishi sunak been dealt. he's been deau sunak been dealt.ike you are constantly clamouring . and i tell you, you clamouring. and i tell you, you will hear that on bbc. i'm sorry . i think i might be suffering from a major who is the chancellor who introduced lockdown. but darren rishi sunak, in case you want. he said he wanted to know. do you not agree that rishi sunak's the windsor framework is really great for northern ireland. the windsor framework is a reheated micro meal of the northern ireland protocol. that's a stormont brake option . it is. stormont brake option. it is. the stormont brake is a break on brexit because it actually means that we will never diverge away from the european union because . we would be diverging away from northern ireland. he is alive off part of our country and accepted that we do not unionist . communities in unionist. communities in northern ireland are distraught , totally feel utterly by what the prime minister's agreed . the prime minister's agreed. make my sort of feeling about this and vote that was

here is prime minister rishi sunak.me minister sunak: it's an incredibly powerful safeguard that we have been able to negotiate with the eu. it means the people and instituions of northern ireland are in control of their destiny. if there is a significant eu law that comes along that will have lasting and significant impact on the everyday lives of people in ireland, the assembly will be allowed to pull the emergency brake and it is built on the petition of concern mechanism which is a good friday institution that require the support of 30 mla's from two parties. then the u.k. government has an unequivocal veto. the u.k. government wants to sit down with the parties in northern ireland, the assembly, to codify how the u.k. government would use that veto, to make sure everyone has reassurance it would work properly. ben: our u.k. political correspondent says he still has a few more hurdles to get the deal over the line. >> rishi sunak has to sell it to the main prounion party in northern ireland, the democratic unionist

i will to say to rishi sunak at rishi sunak bidding . i will agree to sunak bidding.agree to you just returning these people to france and the whole thing would be finished by sunday yes. but before the whole thing can be ready by so chances of that aren't very high. no, but but, but let me just say nobody here makes the argument about this. i think this is a really issue. it's not in interests as well as the uk is interests that people are getting on and making these dangerous journeys . drowning in dangerous journeys. drowning in the english channel. the french should be and they surely are totally to this. and the best way to stop it is to agree to boat. way to stop it is to agree to boat . but if you do it boat. but if you do it unilaterally , the boat unilaterally, the boat turnarounds have to happen in international waterways . well, international waterways. well, the royal marines could pick people up on 12 mile line and simply take them back to france. well, there. but no international water. france and the other . there is a international water. france and th

i mean, we've heard, of course, in recent months , rishi sunak in recent months, rishi sunak wants everyonelearn some form of maths until the age of 18. is that , in your view 18. is that, in your view necessary ? is it necessary for necessary? is it necessary for perhaps people that don't interact with maths as they see it in their everyday lives to understand more of these ? i understand more of these? i think i would say it is important, but i would say it isn't complicated . i think we're isn't complicated. i think we're talking advocating in this book is not that people do more trigonometry , more calculus or trigonometry, more calculus or something like that, that they've done at and they've done at school and struggled with what this book is . what number crunching is trying to do is. . what number crunching is trying to do is . on some level, trying to do is. on some level, it's more about common sense. it's to just have it's about trying to just have a feel for numbers, have a feel to data, to have better feeling for it. there's a quote i the book with that the essence of mathemati

not comfortable for rishi sunak ehhen comfortable for rishi sunak either.hold the sort of sway among the backbench of the conservative party as he once did and with that windsor did and saw with that windsor framework vote yesterday, he was unable a no rebellion wave of unable to a no rebellion wave of mps with him. he is still a personality , the conservative personality, the conservative party and although the government is right to keep pushing forward the fact that 22 msps rebelled against the windsor framework, it should be noted that 48 msps abstained from voting all. so that rump of brexiteers isn't who spent force entirely. yeah. and know that bofis entirely. yeah. and know that boris johnson is a charismatic politician. he's quite good with people . and while he's on the people. and while he's on the backbenches , there is always the backbenches, there is always the pulse ability. however, fake the whiff of guns . smoke. yeah, whiff of guns. smoke. yeah, yeah, exactly . and we've been yeah, exactly. and we've been trying to assess damage this has do

yes and i am sure rishi sunak would rather not this week i sunak would rather not this week that we were covid lockdown spot that is what we will be talking about, this mammoth session we expect on wednesday afternoon, a key moment for boris johnsonfuture westminster, oliver dowden a cabinet minister was asked about this and he was very close to borisjohnson, one of his chief lieutenants, asked about what to expect and this is what he said. i've known borisjohnson reasonably well over the years. i'm quite sure that he will put forward a robust defence of his conduct. it will then be for the committee to make that determination and if necessary, the house of commons to make that determination. i think that's the the proper process to go through. boris johnson's team borisjohnson�*s team has been out in the papers today, talking about the dossier they will produce which they say will clear the prime minister, might not be that simple. i suspect the seven mps on the privileges committee might have other ideas. thank you. that will be one to look forward to and we will bring it to you here o

i could sense rishi sunak's pain, - could sense rishi sunak's pain, almost, when borisjohnson's name?— any political discussion, he cannot escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking _ escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking to _ escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking to you _ escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking to you or _ escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking to you or anyone - rather be talking to you or anyone else about anyone else other than borisjohnson. this is a prime minister who is desperate to keep the conversation fixed on the small handful of things he thinks the country want him to get on with. borisjohnson is a ghost following him around downing street reminding him around downing street reminding him of the turmoil we've had over the past couple of years and we are going to see that again this week with this evidence being published and the show stopping committee hearing tomorrow afternoon that half of the country will be tuning in to watch boris johnson of the country will be tuning in to watc

and it's on this particular day that rishi sunak decided to release his tax detail.l. notjust this particular day tax detail. not just this particular day this afternoon, at the very point that borisjohnson was afternoon, at the very point that boris johnson was facing those questions for weeks, borisjohnson was facing those questions forweeks, rishi borisjohnson was facing those questions for weeks, rishi sunak promised to publish his tax return. it was today, this afternoon that emerged. the details within it are not that surprising. a vastly wealthy man pays a vast amount of tax, nearly half £1 million in tax in one year last year. now, it's not surprising, given the scale of his wealth, but it is eye—catching, except it's not quite so eye—catching when the ice westminster are tilted elsewhere. it gives you some sense of how awkward number ten find all these questions around the prime minister's wealth they decided to make this publication on of all days. chris mason at westminster, thank you. it was a bit of a shock for the experts, with the cost of living rising

there as an awkward squad for rishi sunak. i | an awkward squad for rishi sunak.lion will be. we have been trying to find out how many tory mps might vote against the government. it looks bad for rishi sunak, not that he will lose the vote because he has labour's back in, not that he would end up like theresa may and quite over brexit, but it looks bigger than we thought. everything went quiet after the windsor framework was revealed a few weeks ago. it looked like it had been a political triumph for rishi sunak until this week actually when the dup came out and said we are not convinced and we are voting against it in parliament. they are key to this process because rishi sunak wants to get them back at stormont, back in power sharing in the northern ireland assembly. this morning, we have a growing number of tory mps, senior prominent well—known tory mps saying they will not vote for it. boris johnson, liz truss, iain duncan smith and priti patel, they told the telegraph they're going to vote against it as well. it looks it is going to be a tricky vote for rishi

on, then rishi sunak was as well. sounds a bit desperate, doesn't it? >> mr. sunak got find -- fined because he turned up at an event which i believe was mr. johnson's birthday party, where he believed he was just showing up for a meeting. if the guidance was not being followed, there were an awful lot of other people, including honorable civil servants, who also felt that we were following the rules, and mr. johnson was trying to split the blame more widely. in fairness to mr. johnson, he demure from the idea that this was a kangaroo court, though he did reserve judgment as to if he would be treated early by the committee. i think in truth, again coming back to what i said earlier about the committee, this committee operated on a cross party basis this afternoon. the truth is, he was most air tainted, i think, by one of the conservatives on the committee, who has a certain right -- certain wry style to him, and i think that got under mr. johnson's skin. this was very much a cross party grilling. >> we are almost out o

it's obviously cutting across what was a very good week for rishi sunak.truck to try and ameliorate the problems created by the northern ireland protocol, seemed to have gone down very well both with elements of his own party, who might have been expected to be critical, and with the public at large, and yet, here we are at the weekend and who are we talking about? borisjohnson. that is not what downing street will have wanted. there is a hard core of borisjohnson supporters and some of them may feel vindicated by his continual energetic rebutting of these concerns, but for the most part, this is not the image the party wanted to be projecting. what do you think it does to any hopes he might of had of becoming more central to politics, making a return to it? does this quash his chances? borisjohnson is unquashable simply because he just refuses to go away but this is a reminder to any mps who might have been on the middle ground, there is a committee of borisjohnson supporters, but for mps who might have been tempted to maybe think borisjohnson is the solu
