in more formidable opponent for keir starmer? , , ., starmer?in the sense that the previous incumbent lasted six| starmer? in the sense that the - previous incumbent lasted six weeks, almost certainly he is going to be a more formidable opponent. what is interesting about rishi sunak is that he has been a front line politician not for very long, but for long enough for people to have got the measure of him. what of the things people i think are forgotten in the last few weeks with the liz truss premiership is that he has some really quite significant political weaknesses. 0ne some really quite significant political weaknesses. one of his characteristics as chancellor was to make an announcement that war is not big enough to resist pressure for a while from people who said he needed to do more, to say it was absolutely wrong and should not happen, and then to come back and do what he was being asked to do after all, and claiming it was the right thing to do all along. it is someone who doesn't always have the courage of his convictions, in terms

that is what keir starmer did. i do think that rishi — is what keir starmer did.l advice that this was not a good idea and that is because everybody in westminster and whitehall knows that he was and the worry he should have is that there may be a piece of paper floating around to that effect. added to which, suella braverman, he has reappointed gavin williamson and to say today that doesn't matter because it happened four years ago that williamson was sacked, he was sacked for a briefing out of a national security council meeting. that is an unforgivable offence. there are several appointments that could unravel fairly quickly. what i saw today was rishi sunak being pretty punchy, wanting to get the support of his backbenchers but not really engaging in the substance of the questions and i think you will find, as he goes on, the best way to deal with the difficult questions is not just to do what johnson did and turn them into an insult on the other side. i. ,, , ., rishi sunak is more of a formidable opponent for keir starmer? he had borisjohnson, the partygate

so, yes, you want to see keir starmer in number 10. two things.the tories is not a high bar to cross right now. i think we need to see more of a radical alternative from labour rather thanjust a pale imitation. uk ministers know they need to repair the damage done in recent days. the prime minister's allies are calling on her mps to get behind her. division will cause delay, - delay is our enemy and ultimately defeat to keir starmer. we don't want to see keir starmer. with nicola sturgeon, who now talks about testing the conservatives. i think that language is really dangerous. i i prefer to work with my colleagues in scotland. i but for another former chancellor, speaking in scotland today, neither the uk or scottish administrations inspire confidence. you've got two governments north and south of the border and frankly, i'm very depressed at the picture they're painting. the ultimate beneficiary of conservative infighting could be sir keir starmer. all tory mps want to avoid this, but will they be able to agree on how to do so? david wallace loc

it was very noticeable at the beginning of pmqs keir starmer, and i thought he was sending a messagey as well as to the country, congratulated rishi sunak as the first british asian to become prime minister. i think the whole country, then it was diwali as well, the whole country was just, this is a historical moment, and it is a historical moment but i think one of the things i talk about a lot is that people, i get a lot of abuse because of the way i speak and my background but i also get a lot of people saying it is so refreshing and inspiring to see someone like you in politics that i can look to who reminds me of me so i am sure that is exactly the same for many people who saw rishi sunak become prime minister, at the door of number ten, thinking wow, this is something i can do, and were inspired by that, i think that is something to celebrate. but nadia whitham, leading labour mp, said it wasn't good for relations and she had to take the tweet down, why are there people in the labour party who can't welcome it? i think, there are issues around rishi sunak wealth and obviously h

but at the moment we have elected keir starmer. i think he's doing an exceptionaljob. a more diverse shadow cabinet. i would be deputy prime minister under the next labour government and you know, we'll keep championing and challenging that. we brought the landmark legislation through on the equalities act and the all women shortlists that enabled us to get to the position that we're at. so i think we're making great steps. but you know, i absolutely agree that, you know, there is that, i think it comes also from our membership that there is that kind of push. now that surge towards that when keir is no longer leader, then we do want to have a different leader. you know, someone from a different they realize that, you know, they're behind the door. i think they do. and as you say, perhaps why some labor people weren't willing to, as it were, celebrate rishi sunak's success. he's because he's as wealthy as he is and he's married into wealth as well. is it a problem being too rich if you're prime minister? i don't think it is, but i think one of the things that was infur

labour leader, sir keir starmer, says his party hasn't got complacent — and repeats calls for a generalction. these people are so fed up. they are entitled, they want a say in this. there is a choice to be made. we need a general election. let the public in to decide. do they want to continue with this utter chaos? elsewhere, headteachers in england say 9 in 10 schools will have run out of money by the next school year due to the cost of living crisis. good afternoon. rishi sunak has formally entered the contest to become the next conservative leader and prime minister. the former chancellor says he wants to lead the country with "integrity, "professionalism and accountability". he already has the required backing of more than 100 fellow tory mps and more than double the number publically backing borisjohnson. in the last few minutes, it is reported that suella braverman, the former home secretary is endorsing rishi sunak�*s bed. mrjohnson has yet to declare his candidacy but held talks with mr sunak last night. penny mordaunt is also running but like mrjohnson has yet to achieve the re

[laughter] speaker starmer: who voted for this? not all -- not homeowners pain extra for their mortgages -- paying extra for their mortgages. not working people paying for extra -- not even most of the people behind her who knows you cannot pay for tax cuts on the never never. does she think that the public will ever forget the conservative party if they keep on defending this madness and go ahead with her, because he budget --kamikaze budget. p.m. truss: what are budget has built is security for families and it make sure that we will see higher economic growth, lower inflation and more opportunity. the weight that we will get our country growing between more jobs, more growth and opportunities. not to higher taxes, higher spending and his friends in the union stopping hard-working people getting to work. >> i want to see growth in jobs and i believe in investments -- what the prime minister back the honorable members who are supporting ozone --a zone -- >> i want to see more jobs and more opportunities and more homes for local peo

, ., , , ., forward, do any of them beat keir starmer? ., ., starmer?e in 2019. in many ways it is understandable there will be a focus on personality in the short—term, for obvious reasons. about the new prime minister, whoever that it will be needs to do, i stick and fix the conservatives, their battered reputation, on the economy, if we find that three quarters of the public so they do not have confidence in the conservatives to have a good long—term economic plan for britain and that is really where you are starting when you�*re trying to work out who it might be that is popular in the future. because we have seen with liz truss, she came in a something of an unknown, people like me to talk about... fundamentally glee its what they do in office that shapes of the public think of them and if they win real action and travel. whoever the prime minister is, they will have to deliver, the question is on the mind on conservative mps this weekend at. me conservative mps this weekend at. we should look about a boris johnson. conservative mps this weekend at

it's not inconceivable that he would get the way that keir starmer thinks about this.and now somebody has to pay for their mess. see what i mean about the hair. i say it shouldn't be working people who have been hammered time and again by this lot. you are going to have this huge, huge fiscal black hole that is going to have to be filled with cuts, and presenting that in the commons is going to be phenomenally difficult. and also trying to put a positive spin on it is going to be phenomenally difficult. so, the only way that they can really go is the acceptance that this is going to be a difficult time, but all they can do is make the right, tough choices. is it possible for one person coming in to fundamentally shift the dynamics inside a party? if you accept that perception is a big part of reality, you can make yourself believe that things will get better and you can push yourself behind that positivity. and, ultimately what are general election campaigns and political communication? it's making perception of reality. as we've been seeing, rishi sunak has highlighte

what is this help is pretty hopeful to call it a hope, this poll finds that rishi sunak beat keir starmereneral election and starmer would win it by a landslide so i wouldn't really quote a hope. of course, people think that rishi sunak— of course, people think that rishi sunak has— of course, people think that rishi sunak has a sound judgment on the ecorwrny— sunak has a sound judgment on the economy and on taxes because his view of— economy and on taxes because his view of trussonomics was seen to be completely— view of trussonomics was seen to be completely right, he saw the future and we _ completely right, he saw the future and we all — completely right, he saw the future and we all saw that so of course has _ and we all saw that so of course he's going — and we all saw that so of course he's going to do well in the polls on that— he's going to do well in the polls on that count, but i think there are many— on that count, but i think there are many issues — on that count, but i think there are many issues that are very pressing for home. — many issues that are very pressing for home,

nigel because this ties into what we were talking about, sadistic cove told stoplights or let in starmerthe credit for that? if michael gove is a sadist he is in a happy one. every time i saw him in birmingham he seemed to be very chipper and cheery. and it is thanks to michael gove really who is actually the leader of the opposition at the party conference for liz truss abandoning plans for herfight the for liz truss abandoning plans for her fight the tax cut for millionaires. so he is already shown that he can actually influence government policy and there is some suggestion that she tried to have peace talks with him before the party conference. even offering him a senior diplomatic posts. none of that seems to have washed. but once again it is part of the functionalized problem of the tories got. and the faction that michael gove leads is a load of cabinet ministers who have been fired, who will not take very kindly to liz truss and her policies. and that is why she is in such trouble, as she had kept some of them on and put more rishi sunak supporters in the cabinet she might not be
