rory stewart? for the knives to come out. come. at so early on? rory stewart?ome outlj come. at so early on? rory stewart? for the knives to come out. i do think it is sort ofjustified. this debate, this competition to be the leader, it is all about who is a lever, who is a true leader, who is a remaineror soft lever, who is a true leader, who is a remainer or soft brexiteer. they may say they are the unity candidate, but they will be pushed in one direction or another in the binary choice they will face. i think they are being honest from the very start. borisjohnson, rory stewart, they are poles apart when it comes to brexit. so why not say that from the very beginning. conservative party members know that from the start. smears are being made. they are saying they would have a second referendum. hats off, everything into the ring, and off we go. this is a dominic raab, saying that brexit needs unflinching resolve. first, how much does that differfrom resolve. first, how much does that differ from what boris has been saying? no—deal brexit, isn't that what he

matt hancock, jeremy hunt and rory stewart.esty of boris, that team at the moment, will they be able to convince mps and most importantly the membership? well, i think this contest is split into two very clear camps. you have the candidates coming from the cabinet, so candidates coming from the cabinet, so that is people like jeremy hunt the foreign secretary, rory stewart international development secretary, michael gove the environment secretary, and then you have the candidates coming from the brexit side of the argument. that is boris johnson the former foreign secretary, dominic raab the former brexit secretary, steve baker, a very prominent eurosceptic conservative mp. those two camps will produce two candidates which will produce two candidates which will go through to the conservative party's grassroots membership. to go back to what anne said earlier, yes, this contest is all about brexit, but it will also be about the crucial question of who can defeat jeremy corbyn, but also who can defeat nigel farage's brexit party

level rory stewart says you cannot trust borisjohnson rory stewart says you cannot trust boris johnsonwart says you cannot trust borisjohnson and as we will see he is not the only one saying that. additionally we have iain duncan smith calling rory stewart idiotic for making those remarks. yes, it has all started. less than 24 hours then and they are calling each other names. what do you make of the strategy? do you think it is a good idea for this turning on boris en masse? how is that scene?” idea for this turning on boris en masse? how is that scene? i don't think it matters who. all this does is perpetuates the notion amongst ordinary people out there that this lot are behaving like schoolboys. it is like question time to come on, grow up. this is a crisis facing the country and it was started by sliding each other off in this way and we will, in the eyes of many people, diminish them all.m and we will, in the eyes of many people, diminish them all. it is trying to get through that first stage of the elimination process amongst the mps before it goes out to the members. and boris g

with mr hancock and fellow cabinet minister rory stewart. . . fellow cabinet minister rory stewart...ll tell anyone who will listen that brexit must be crucial and will be delivered. but... anybody who pretends —— otherwise the solution be done already. it is not about the detailed lines in this deal, it is about the way in which we communicate and negotiate. i worked in iraq and was a professional diplomat. if distinct ofjordan staal. .. diplomat. if distinct ofjordan staal... michael gove supported live and tonight his friends are talking up and tonight his friends are talking up his prospects and... it is time for a bickle. how will the contest were? theresa may is not leaving downing street just yet and will stand down as conservative leader a week on friday. the following week, the race to replace it will formally begin but mrs may will stay on as prime minister but will stand down injuly when prime minister but will stand down in july when the successor prime minister but will stand down injuly when the successor is chosen. borisjohnson injuly when the successor is chosen. boris

i feel like rory work in the national interest with labour.bour. i feel like rory stewart is reframing it every brenda get and of course i think this government very much wants labour to come across and help them and be able to present some of the things with the national brand but still it goes back to the same argument on the customs union and whether the conservatives will adopt what labour once in the customs union wholesale or not. what struck me about this article was that he is saying if we get a deal, it has to be a proper deal of national unity. because it needs to last for 30 or a0 years. there are not many deals that last for that long. ooh yes. fair enough, it does need to be a national deal to get the parliament. the shame is that it has to be in international deal to get through anywhere any county ground or brussels i think the problem is what seems to be coming out of these meetings, times report earlier, elements of the single market they were talking about and elements of the customs union and we know cherry picking is imposs

right let's go live now to rory chalons he's in london for us and rory i suppose the question is does this vote heavy vote for the brics it party does this represent a confirmation if you like of the british public's opinion as expressed in the 2016 referendum to leave the european union is it a rican confirmation of that. well certainly a large portion of the rich public feel that way and have voted accordingly that man you just heard from nigel fraud has done it again as an 85 years ago his ukip party scared then prime minister david cameron in 2 calling the referendum on britain's membership of the year opinion now his new party the brics it party has shaken the tree again it is doing very well in these elections they currently have 21 m.e.p. s. elected. in these elections. the liberal democrats are also doing pretty well with 10 p. so far. labor and the conservatives really taking a punishing labor on 7 the conservatives only on 2 this is the government's here the government's policy only on 2 piece that's trading behind the green party so really this is i think 00 a wake up call

both mr hancock and fellow cabinet minister rory stewart voted remain — though they'll tell anyone who'll- be delivered. but... anyone who pretends there is some magic solution to brexit is misleading the public. if there had been a magic solution it would have been done already. the reason there isn't a magic solution is it's not about the detailed lines in this deal, it's about the way in which people communicate and negotiate. and i worked in iraq, i worked in afghanistan. i was a professional diplomat, i negotiated. good morning, mr gove. if distinctive jogging styles are enough to get you thejob, michael gove — who voted for brexit in the referendum — would be a shoo—in. he's yet to say he's definitely in the running. i think it's time for a bagel. so how will this contest work? theresa may isn't leaving downing street just yet. she'll stand down as conservative leader a week on friday. the following week the race to replace her will formally begin. but mrs may will stay on as prime minister until towards the end ofjuly, when her successor is chosen. the former foreign secretary, bor

thank you, rory.gin discussions tomorrow on what downing street says will be a new brexit deal to put before mps next month. the prime minister has talked of making a "bold" move to try to get her withdrawal agreement through the commons. our political correspondent iain watson is in westminster. iain, what might the plan contain? i think the prime minister will be keen to emphasise that this is a new deal not to be confused with that deal not to be confused with that deal that got rejected three times at westminster by mps. in truth it looks more like a rebadged deal with some new components. for example to try to win over labour mps the government as we understand it is going to be more willing to go further in protecting workers was multi—rights and protecting the environment after brexit. there is a lot that is familiar in this deal, rather too familiar for many conservative brexiteers, so for example the controversial northern irish backstop to try to avoid a ha rd irish backstop to try to avoid

the international development secretary and conservative leadership candidate, rory stewart, spoke aboutit if he were to become prime minister. there is no magic solution to brexit. and if there were it would already have been done, it's not about changing a line here, there or everywhere. it's about what i, working as a diplomat, working in iraq and afghanistan, learnt day in, day out that negotiating a deal is about understanding what your end point is, so what kind of economy do you want, what kind of trade deal works for the economy and getting that trade deal through negotiating, being flexible, being nimble. one of the subjects that gets discussed whether there really is still the appetite to leave beyond the conservative party, there are all sorts of polls that suggest the ballots could be now in favour of remain. would you consider holding a second referendum on a deal? no, i would not do that. i think that would be very dangerous. dangerous for a couple of reasons. firstly i think it's very dangerous to hold a referendum, promising you are going to respect it and then hold a sec
