she was not a rishi sunak fan and just said, this was priced in. r the top in her attacks on him in her resignation letter, i think actually she strengthens him. because she has no credibility left, she resigned in a fit of pique because she didn't get a peerage, which doesn't reflect well on her, and trying to do as much damage as she can to the party, again, does not reflect well on her, it's a sad end to a colourful career.- not reflect well on her, it's a sad end to a colourful career. what do ou think end to a colourful career. what do you think rishi _ end to a colourful career. what do you think rishi sunak's _ end to a colourful career. what do you think rishi sunak's priorities l you think rishi sunak's priorities will be now? no doubt he will be turning his attention to the in the constituency. what happens next and what would be his priority is? it interesting. i think rishi sunak will want to move on as quickly as possible because the point about by—elections at the moment is that the government can't win them. but this is an interesting

she has also released a resignation statement — saying that rishi sunak has demeaned his office by whippinga public frenzy against her. and she also accuses mr sunak of running a zombie parliament — with a government which is adrift. and she claims he has squandered the goodwill of the nation. our political correpondent ian watson gave me the details. well, nadine dorries said she would resign back on june the 14th. she said she would resign with immediate effect. it's well known that nadine dorries is a close ally of the former prime minister, borisjohnson. she was culture secretary, of course, in his administration. she was not at all pleased at the way in which she was ejected from office and none too chuffed about the short lived nature of his successor liz truss�*s time at number 10 downing street either. so therefore, it is unsurprising that she's taking a swipe at the current prime minister, rishi sunak, in her resignation statement. now, first of all, let's take a look at the timing of what she's done. she says this will allow for a by—election to be called when parliament resumes i

so, let us return to rishi sunak. we discussed him earlier. opening up new north sea oil and gas exploration. 100 new licences being issued by the sunak government. let's also talk about the degree to which he is now backing the motorist in a perceived war on the motorists that some green campaigners, according to members of the tory party, are now running. what do you make of these signals that rishi sunak is sending to the british people? so, i'm confused as to who rishi sunak thinks he's talking to. he talks about "the motorist". well, i'm a motorist, you're a motorist. most of the people watching, — from this country, at least — this programme, whatever their views on the environment, are, at one point or another, motorists. they're not a self—contained species whose vote we're seeking to secure and attract. it feels to me that rishi sunak is speaking to a very, very small group, a rump within — a very noisy rump, albeit, and a powerful one — but within the conservative party, and he's mistaking that for the voice of the people or even the

he is someone who has stood by rishi sunak since the leadership campaign last year, while rishi sunakpaign to liz truss. he is a loyal ally of rishi sunak so they will have been a calculation here someone rishi sunak wants to bring closer in government. so we have grant shapps moving to the ministry of defence, that leaves his formerjob in the department for energy security and net zero. that has been filled by claire coutinho. that might not be a name that is familiar to many of our viewers. she was currently a junior minister in the education department that she again is a very close personal ally of rishi sunak. she worked for him as an adviser before she even became an mp. she is a relatively new mp, only came to parliament in 2019 and now she has leapfrogged one ministerial rank and gone into the cabinet, so a big promotion for her, a reward for loyalty. herjob at the department for education gets filled ljy department for education gets filled by a junior minister in the department for levelling up, david johnston. the reshuffle as we understand it is over. there are a couple of

rishi sunak really has bent them over an oil barrel when it comes to oil and gas. and saying that he's going to really look into the farce that is going on at our banks. let's not forget, we bailed that lot out, didn't we, in the financial crisis? and now this is how they repay us. ordinary people . we're repay us. ordinary people. we're always going to be talking about this well. yes, that's right. this as well. yes, that's right. talking people, talking of ordinary people, normal beddow , minding tax normal laura beddow, minding tax paying normal laura beddow, minding tax paying brits right on the breadline. are being forced to live in accommodation that actually is literally killing them with mould on the walls, giving them chronic respiratory problems whilst illegal migrants are being housed in luxury brand new flats in chelmsford . we will new flats in chelmsford. we will also be revealing as well some of the latest tactic hacks that the human traffickers are using to get people across the channel. do you know that some of the boats coming across now have got

she claimed rishi sunak had stood in the way and that had been denied by downing street so just to bringagain in the past few minutes the conservative mp and former culture secretary nadine dorries has resigned her commons seat with a scathing attack on the prime minister. we will bring you more on that as we get it. around two thousand items are thought to have been stolen, from the british museum. but some of the missing treasures have started to be recovered. that's according to the museum's chairman. the organisation is one of the uk's most prestigious cultural institutions, but revealed earlier this month, that a number of treasures were reported missing, stolen or damaged. a member of museum staff suspected of involvement has been sacked. and hartwig fischer, the museum director, is stepping down— after saying a 2021 investigation was mishandled. former chancellor, george osborne, is now chair of trustees at the british museum and has been speaking to radio 4's today programme. on behalf of the british museum i want to apologise for what has happened. we believe we have been the vi

clearly this for rishi sunak.ection has been timed to create the biggest political problem for rishi sunak just as he wants to bring his troops together , rally his troops, together, rally his troops, perhaps perform a limited reshuffle in the coming months as well. well, amidst all of that, and just on the eve of the party conferences, we can expect this mid buckinghamshire by—election, a seat that has been conservative since the 1920s that survived at lee's landslide, that survived blair's landslide, that survived blair's landslide that sits currently with a conservative majority of 25,000. and yet if you look at the bookies odds, it's the lib dems for the taking . dems for the taking. >> thank you very much for that update . another nightmare in update. another nightmare in downing street for rishi sunak. back now to my panel, political commentator matthew stadlen and social policy analyst dr. raqeeb hassan, let's start with you this raqeeb so her this time raqeeb so her statement was withering. a zombie parlia

all the signs were that rishi sunak want to pick a loyalist, j rishi sunak want to pick a loyalist, someoneumber ten, someone who they could trust in numberten, and grant someone who they could trust in number ten, and grant shapps does tick that box. various names doing the rounds, i think grant shapps only came nearer the time, but in terms of what the prime minister is trying to achieve with this, which is having someone in the ministry of defence who you can trust on ukraine, but also with lots of very tricky spending decisions coming up, going into an election, i think grant shapps ticks that box. i've made you think is tenure as defence minister will make any difference as to how it is run at all? when it comes to support for ukraine, that is something he is very keen to insist will continue as it did under ben wallace, it to something where there will be continuity. i think there will be continuity. i think there has always been our friction between defence secretaries and the treasury as to how much money is required, and that was no different under ben wallace in terms of interacti

this autumn/went out for rishi sunak is a really important time for him, he is trying to build momentumrty's position in the opinion polls with a general election looking about a year away, but this by—election in mid bedfordshire could potentially be a very awkward distraction for the prime minister, particularly if his party go on to lose that by—election. his party's majority in mid bedfordshire is massive, about 25,000, so usually you would expect the conservative party to win, perhaps even comfortably. however, the tory party is in a bad position. it's surrendered big by—election majority in recent weeks and is at risk of doing so again in mid bedfordshire. you mentioned the way nadine dorries made her resignation known and as i mentioned tory mps have called for an end to infighting, but given it was known at that nadine dorries was a big supporter borisjohnson, how much of an effect do you think and arejust getting attack much of an effect do you think and are just getting attack on rishi sunak has hired? in terms of infighting, has it changed how fractured the conservative party

in her resignation letter to rishi sunak, she tells him: she warmed to her theme in a mail on sundaynak became prime minister without a single members�* vote without a single member's vote or a vote from the public. no—one has voted for him to be in thatjob — nobody. and he immediately abandoned the manifesto that the british people in 2019 went out and voted for. they went out and they voted for borisjohnson, and they voted for a manifesto. both have gone. three short years, both have gone. nadine dorries was a close ally of the former prime minister borisjohnson, and she has denounced mps who ousted him as stupid, so her criticism of the current prime minister is not exactly a surprise. pressure from some of her colleagues at westminster and in mid—bedfordshire to quit have been increasing, and earlier this week some of her constituents told the bbc they also wanted her to go. she's been absent for so many years, and perhaps she should go. but i'm totally disappointed, and she should have - resigned and left. she denies letting her voters down. opposition parties haven't waited for

rishi sunak, backed him last summer for the conservative leadership.ed for 3% of the economy to be spent on defence spending, something that rishi sunak is reluctant to commit to do. but i don't think todayis commit to do. but i don't think today is about big changes in direction of policy, it is more about tweaks to personnel, and that means that the prime minister is still weighing up whether he needs to make big, wholesale changes in the next few months to get his top team ready for a general election. labour's leader, sir keir starmer, is weighing up the same whether he wants to make significant changes to his shadow cabinet. that's general election is probably about a year away, and it could come a bit sooner, but i predict this we will hear a lot more about it soon. more than 70 people have died and more than 50 injured after a fire in centraljohannesburg in a building used by squatters. the damage caused by hurricane idalia, now a tropical storm, is hampering search and rescue efforts in florida. coming up on bbc news, newcastle are one of five
