climate leadership was abandoned by rishi sunak.bal investors were horrified by liz truss's kamikaze budget. migration was left out of control and there was a botched merger of this department under borisjohnson. and political gridlock under theresa may, and this undermined the negotiating ability that most of the world considers to be brilliant at. and of course our armed forces were damaged after david cameron plasma cuts. and the fcd oh was rudderless with seven foreign secretaries in seven years. second — we have to accept that there is no going back, we must stop there is no going back, we must stop the 1990s clouding our vision, the post cold war peace as well and truly over. this is a changed strategic environment. the number of conflicts higher than at any time since 1945, the spectre of famine from gaza to sudan and most refugees and displaced people on record. i have occasionally asked on my travels here and on the doorstep of the country, when will the kremlin threat, this upheaval we are experiencing end? when will thing

it's been interesting because the previous prime minister rishi sunak held that al summit, today we haveplans, very different offices because today was all about the potential opportunities, much less about all of those risks that we have become familiar with. but what do you see as the potential risks here?— risks here? 0k, as always, critical parts _ risks here? 0k, as always, critical parts always - risks here? 0k, as always, critical parts always have l risks here? 0k, as always, i critical parts always have two sides, the good and the bad. the bad side is that, and we are aware of this, that with the change of social media, there is always the risk of people, the ai trained media will be a major difficulty in distinguishing truth from falsehood, so we have two invest into more resilience in terms of social resilience, understanding critical thinking, education to get people to understand how you read a message that comes from your computer. it is one risk of there are many others but i think this is the one that is most relevant. and the mitigation potential loss of jobs due to the

rishi sunak is doing nothing.nd today, exactly what had happened in rochdale is happening in every single part of our country. >> well, now that same jess phillips is in a position of power at the home office, and she has just rejected a national inquiry into rape gangs. well, why do we think that is? i mean, i've got a little theory. >> oh, yeah. go on lad. just watching. >> okay, so that's rochdale police station there. and that was what appeared to be anyway, muslim men who were egging it and doing all sorts of stuff there in the wake of the alleged manchester airport incident. so i think that labour might be a little bit afraid of aspects of the muslim community. and i think to that i say, though, you're pathetic because when you read reports about a girl as young as 13 being gagged and gang raped, in other cases men would have their names on a list by a door, and then they went inside and they'd rape a child and they'd put a tick by their name, and they would pay it off at the end of the month. a girl is beli

it not only shows that reform has already won over1 in 4 of those people who voted for rishi sunak andatives back in july, but that reform is also more popular than the tories among every age group except pensioners. it is also, this poll suggests, the most popular party in british politics among men. but what's driving all of this? well, if you've read my newsletter, you will know what the top concerns for reform party voters are. number one, stopping the illegal migration crisis with the small boats on the channel. and number two, stopping legal migration, bringing the overall level of legal migration down. now, these concerns are certainly not unique to reform party voters. a lot of people in westminster and the establishment will have you believe that these views belong to a fringe minority, but that is not the case. the establishment said that everybody in britain would become more in favour of mass immigration when they just got used to it. but actually, if you look at some of the other polls, they were very wrong indeed. if you look, for example, at at some of the latest polls b
