theresa may deliberately made him peripheral. during the tory lead ship contest, there were so many candidates, but no one was really challenged. in the general election, he avoided big interviews, so it's the leader of the opposition's task really to scrutinize. and he's not used to that. so that will be an interesting and how about internal challenges? i mean, some talk, some evidence of a rest, every way between prime minister and his chance to let us know. the classic demise of prime ministers often is preceded by a rift between milk and sedona street. as some evidence of that dominant companies of course, and said that they were work, it was a conspiracy place on moodle. as soon as he was reelected as dominant cummings, just like mischief or other forces and the conservative party would quite like to see the back of balls. i think the dominant cummings comment reflects the fact that after the december 2019 election, he and his boat leave entourage number $0.10 the power was waning for that. so loosing out to mrs. jones, she

the former prime minister theresa may reflected on the long—term implications of the western worlds withdrawlkey concern to us, the message this sends around the world to those who would do the west harm, the message it sends about our capabilities and most important about our willingness to defend our values. what does it say about us as a country? about nato if we are entirely dependent on a unilateral decision taken by the united states? we all understand the importance of american support, but despite the comments from my right honourable friend earlier, i do find it incomprehensible and worrying that the united kingdom was not able to bring together not a military solution, but an alternative alliance of countries to continue to provide the support necessary, to sustain a government in afghanistan. surely one outcome of this must be a reassessment of how nato operates. nato is the bedrock of european security, but russia will not be blind to the implications of this withdrawal decision and the manner in which it has been taken. neither will china and others have failed to notice the impl

second, theresa may spoke for many mps when she said the west now looked much weaker than it had beforedebate does not change government policy, so for now all mps can do is watch as the evacuation from kabul continues. throughout the day council leaders across the country have said they are ready to provide a safe haven for those fleeing afghanistan. they're calling on the government to make more money available to fund the resettlement schemes. 0ur correspondent alex forsyth has been to calderdale in west yorkshire to see how one community is preparing to welcome afghan refugees. lunch at saint augustin's is about far more than food. this centre supports asylum seekers, offering advice, guidance and a sense of community. here, these families know what it is like to have to flee your home. jan was an interpreter for the british army, he came to the uk through an official route, but now cannot contact his family who are still in afghanistan. i cannot contact his family who are still in afghanistan.— cannot contact his family who are still in afghanistan. i couldn't get to my mum _ still

rocky patches when donald trump became president with a seemingly up and down relationship with theresa may now a senior partner with signum global advisors. earlier, he said he doesn't expect a substantial delay to the us exit from afghanistan due to what he believes to be a successful evacuation. no, i don't. i thinkjoe biden has very well up his mind that august 31 is the date. it's possible it will slip by a day or two, but i don't see any substantial revision of the deadline. so my guess and my hope is that the g7 today really focuses beyond that, how to establish relations, if to establish relations with the taliban. how to address some of the humanitarian issues that will be coming out of afghanistan. but i think the question of extending the deadline is probably decided already. i think time will tell, but my sense is that it's been quite a successful and historic evacuation of thousands of people, with minimal loss of life — any loss of life is tragic obviously — but it's been overall a very successful evacuation under very difficult circumstances. asjoe biden has said, there would
