one caveat here these are tory voters, not tory members. of course it is tory members that have to haveinister. but still i would expect that even amongst members or perhaps even especially there would be a certain change although i don't think it is enough to actually stop boris johnson becoming prime minister.m is important what voters think of the candidates? in the broader picture, yes but in the reality of the contest no. the rest of us have i'io the contest no. the rest of us have no say. 0ur the contest no. the rest of us have no say. our next trimester will be chosen by how many people? 160,000. they are not necessarily representative of this country. they are predominantly male, late 505, white, middle england living in the south. it cannot be right that a 5mall south. it cannot be right that a small number of people can choose a prime minister. thi5 small number of people can choose a prime minister. this is the third one we have had by coronation. this will be the fourth prime minister. two thirds are prime ministers of the last three decades have been unelected in the sense

all these things of the tory mp of butter for new.e showing the membership also new. what is interesting here is that that a lot of these tory mps did this come almost like they tried to kind of forget or they parked these questions about borisjohnson because they are so desperate to find anybody who can one, take on the train followed by nigel farage brexit party, but also rescue the diligence of bolivian which brexit seem to have consigned. but this would now start to get to a seed of doubt and would now start to get to a seed of doubtand a would now start to get to a seed of doubt and a lot mind. the second bit of this is as and said, we have seen from donald trump, and lot of comparisons between donald and boris, not just comparisons between donald and boris, notjust ridiculous here, boris, notjust ridiculous here, borisjohnson boris, notjust ridiculous here, boris johnson and donald boris, notjust ridiculous here, borisjohnson and donald trump a very controversial private life, a gain he has not exactly a vicar, and get the repub

to a packed room of the tory establishment.gn secretary said he would try to change the brexit deal again. we need tough negotiation, not empty rhetoric. having talked to many european leaders, i believe that if we show determination, ingenuity, and confidence, there is a deal to be done. he'd try to change the brexit deal again. what is it that european leaders are saying to you privately about the possibility of a new deal that is the opposite to what they say publicly, which is that there cannot be? i had conversations last week with angela merkel, emmanuel macron, and there is a willingness to engage. one of those braving the rain and the race says none of the other candidates are being realistic. i still haven't heard anybody else set out a credible plan to deliver brexit. i'm the only candidate that has been honest enough to say that we have to keep no deal on the table, but we are not going to leave on the 31st of october. but a candidate who quit the cabinet over brexit insists it can be done. what we need now is a lead

the playwright‘s anti—tory wife made an insulting gesture.s wife? swear at her and declared the all tories sock and he reveals that she is american. she has got nothing going for her as for as the telegraph is concerned. her lefty plays being funded by the eu. her husband supposedly anti—brexit. it reads like a charge sheet. and i am betting she's probably a vegetarian! but it does indicate the were the papers are covering this one story. asa papers are covering this one story. as a father either of you that the neighbours taped this conversation? and he gave it to a paper? no, i don't think so. if you are in public life than you are going to be snapped in your back garden in your dressing gown or something like that. i'm afraid it goes with the territory. i think they were not doing anything illegal in it if you are applying to your local council oi’ are applying to your local council or police about noisy neighbours we re or police about noisy neighbours were constantly fighting or playing loud music there would expect you to provide some s

the johnson camp paces by tory members beyond these gates.mp reckoned mr hunt is an easier opponent, though, than what might have been. with michael gove only two votes behind... thank you very much, thank you. no surprise there are whispers of power play. look, i'm sorry, because i think michael was the best candidate, but i think we've got two great candidates now. do you think there has been skulduggery this afternoon? there was a huge amount of suggestion that people are doing all sorts of things with votes behind the scenes. two laura, i'm shocked, shocked, to hear you say that. do you think there was? s i haven't got a clue, nobody does. boris johnson's team haven't got a clue, nobody does. borisjohnson‘s team absolutely denies they dangle their power in front of mps to keep mr gove off the ballot. they only want to focus on what's next. boris is focused on his game, which is what he brings, clarity on brexit throughout by the end of october, a positive vision for the country, and all of that vision to keep this country out. so what do

they need tory party.tro did lay down a table looking at the murder rate in london versus other big cities in the us, we don't like it, but we have 1.8 murders per 100,000 people, that is one point a too many —— modus. murders per 100,000 people, that is one point a too many -- modus. one is too many. in new york it is 3—point for. it is nearly twice. ultimo, 55 people killed the hundred thousand. —— 3—.4. president trump would be so much better dealing with his own backyard. we have got used to president trump being free and saying whatever he likes. and, frankly, it is beginning to flavour people ‘s heads. but this prime ministerial candidate... what sajid javid has tried to do is take the opposite position. he has tried to say i am different from all these others. muslim, pakistani bus driver father, the only candidate who didn't go to a public school, all of that stuff. he has taken the other view on this issue to try to differentiate between the two. i am of the view people should have said i want to

means he isa popular with the average tory means he is a little bit dodgy in the minds of some toryuse, it is a combination of reasons obviously, a complicated issue, he is seen as the man who can beatjeremy corbyn, he is seen as the man who can put nigel farage back in his box, the man who can wina farage back in his box, the man who can win a general election, also seen as the man who can deliver brexit. one wonders beyond all that, the whole of the rest of the country, what is the appeal?” the whole of the rest of the country, what is the appeal? i think something of a brexit derangement syndrome that has happened in our country at the moment. we have seen people as brexit or remain. boris as mayor of london was supportive of 93v mayor of london was supportive of gay marriage, he had a very ethnically diverse team at city hall, he was quite committed to action on climate change, he was in many ways a progressive force and thatis many ways a progressive force and that is why london voted for him. i think a lot of remainers think that boris has died. i don't think it has died, alon

and boris johnson god into tory voters and the tory party. nigel farage is also lethally serious. he doesn't have any policies, he doesn't need to have any policies, he does know that he is the leader of a protest movement essentially and it is true that if brexit is not in the ghastly word delivered, there will be huge support as there was at the european elections for the brexit party. we will see what happens because they don't have a clear policy. what nigel farage appears to want is a narrative of betrayal and as long as he can say that everything is a betrayal, he was be happy. if we have a no—deal brexit as tragically looks increasingly likely, i wonder what he will then focus on because he will have got his economic disaster, so then what will he be upset about? he will dream up a whole new grievance to rally behind. people will have a genuine grievance if we don't leave the eu. there was a referendum held, over70 million voted to leave and there will be serious consequences for people's faith in democracy if we don't leave. the betra

labour as well as the tories.under normal circumstances, new party leaders are elected in opposition because the outgoing leader has lost an election or failed to win an election, that's me have the challenge. so to have a challenge like this while the governing party is still in office, it is extraordinary and has never happened before and i think a lot of people will be sitting at home thinking, hang ona will be sitting at home thinking, hang on a second, what is the future of our country? this is about the future of our country being decided by such a small group of people. we had theresa may when she was selected after the e referendum and a lot of people were unhappy when she stepped in for david cameron. there are two audiences, the case of the members and mps deciding, but i do think it's on the reasons why the leadership candidates, like the television debates and behind closed doors like the 1922 this week. i will say that the way things are looking in terms of brexit, how fragile the next muscle be, we c

if the tory party...for the party is this spectacle goes on for the rest of the event to take part in this process. tory hq come of the contenders should be sitting down very soon and thinking how do we reformat so that this works. i think there is still chances for the conservative party. the 16 hustings schedule, one of them should just be about the norman powerhouse was one of them should be just about the housing crisis and one should be about how we care for other people, and if you did not come up as one of the interviewers was saying earlier. the conservative party somehow needs to show that half of this debate was about brexit and half of the debates did not was not brexit but the tory party that is going to recover the confidence of the nation have to show the content about things other than the b word and i think the reformatting of the rest of the contest before it is too late should bea contest before it is too late should be a priority. the stats from this poll that came out today talking abo

he says the incompetent tories are not up to the incompetent tories are not up to thejob.ood speech and he isa party. it was a good speech and he is a thoughtful and intelligent, capable cabinet minister and secretary. unfortunately he injected a bit more realism, i think, into his speech. he did not have a fully worked out plan because nobody does but he was more engaged with the complexities of the issue and as a result in this area that we are in in our politics, that telling truth to power of his colleagues will not stand him in good stead. people are much more up for being seduced by the excitement and big promises of a character like borisjohnson. the excitement and big promises of a character like boris johnson. he pitched himself differently. he said he was a new man, not a traditional tory. he is trying to contrast himself with borisjohnson tory. he is trying to contrast himself with boris johnson saying that boris is old news. he ran for the leadership in 2016 and failed. we need to move on from that. he is has an interesting position on brexit because we all kne

|j think so but in terms of the rest of the country if you are not a tory voter or a tory member, you from something or it is sheer arrogance. from a tactical perspective he has everything to lose and nothing to gain by appearing. he is the overwhelming front runner, his polling is off the charts so everything where he does something publicly is the potential to go down rather than up. but how do you think the rest of the electorate view him? because if we see someone like rory stewart in the final two, if we have an eton showdown that is ammo forjeremy corbyn who will say, vote for something different. there is an element of that but it is about winning what is in front of you and he's quite forensically focused on doing that. who will worry him most in that debate on tuesday if it is down to the last two? is rory stewart a name that might concern borisjohnson? stewart a name that might concern boris johnson? yes, i think so. michael gove is an accomplished debater and he has taken on boris johnson before but rory stewart is turning all fire on boris and stopping at nothing so he wil

the times claims borisjohnson is under ‘intense pressure‘ to debate with his rivals for the tory leadershiplevision after all the other candidates agreed to take part. the guardian pictures the tanker front altair on fire in the gulf of oman today — the united states has blamed iran for the suspected assault on two oil tankers. and the mirror leads with the tv licence backlash after a string of bbc stars demand that plans to scrap free tv licences for over—75s are ditched. so not a surprise that boris johnson is dominating the headlines tomorrow morning. surprised in a way considering he's been the least vocal so far. yes, everybody else for the past two weeks prior to the official onto the campaign has been all over the all over the radio or in rory stewart's case, all bracken —— britain, boris has been very carefully hidden away from media and even the official launch yesterday he only the media six questions only answered one or two of them, so his handlers have kept them away from the media spotlight. clearly rattling some of them because here on the independent we have stopped boris wr

now it could be because the trump isn't a tory asli divisive figure by nature could be because he flip flops so much that he's policy u. turns were created into actual flip flops well you know he's sometimes difficult to keep up with and you know after all it doesn't have to be a bad thing a clash of ideas challenging each other on policies is synonymous with democracy isn't it i re read a news 3 times due to how unbelievable it is that the russians in other bad guys spread this information about a divided opinions of the us president and his closest aides seriously when the president and his inner circle have different opinions it is a sign of the democratic process in the country doesn't washington defend this value with such the. all so yeah it could be a good thing except it probably stops being one when things move from the realm of professional to personal to go to work for a man who. is pretty on discipline and doesn't doesn't like to read doesn't read briefly reports doesn't doesn't like to get into the details of a lot of things i might compare was doing a great job i'm very p

will the tory party give us companies access to the nhs? yes or no?a may's deputy reckons that's scaremongering. when it comes to trade negotiations, the nhs is not and will not be up for sale. also on the programme: labour challenges the government over a recent report on the benefits of sure start centres for young children. there is a clear lesson here for government — investment in early intervention saves money later on. and in these divided times, there's a little love in the house of lords. i agree with the noble lord, lord tenant. laughter. well, there's a first time for everything. but first: veterans and world leadersjoined an hour—long ceremony in portsmouth to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings. when i attended the commemoration... the queen addressed the service on southsea common, thanking veterans for their "heroism, courage, and sacrifice". our sons... the us president, donald trump — on the final day of his state visit to the uk — also spoke at the event, reading a prayer. my thoughts... while theresa may read a le

examine show a great pleasure alex so what we're considering this this new research royal ascot the tory leadership state. what do you qualities do you require to. as the winner of this race. well it's very like studying the results of any race you have to look at. a form over a course and distance of a bigot the class look at the ownership of trainers you've got to make all of these assessments can they cope with the going of a been taking any noxious substances all of these that matters need to be taken into account let's start from the outside. and have a look at the well that and this is no detriment to them as they would be described in recent power levels as the rags in the state run or field estell mcvie mark harper and matt hancock though their places currently are all 100 to one or all over any of them overpriced in your opinion the one of those 3 i would look at with a little bit of seriousness and some attention is it is hank up he's clearly very ambitious and he comes from the old born the former chancellor george osborne stable a clever man he ran cameron for the leadership

the eye leads with the speech with a different hopeful, sajid javid claiming he admits the tories areot up to the job on brexit. the guardian meeting with laboured defeat in parliament and their bed to ta ke defeat in parliament and their bed to take no deal off the table. independent says new promises same problem telling the readers why they need to march again for a final say on brexit. and something different in the mall, i pay review for postmasters that may stop the closure of post offices in britain. so, let's dive then, being a busy day of course, to tory leadership hopefuls launching a campaign today, the front runner is david boris johnson and the daily telegraph leading on an as many papers are. he's been under for some time then acting like a submarine inside suddenly he surfaced today, and as we all expected, love —— big box office politician, for general public, he's the man they all know and want to hear what he has to say became out and it's like a champ in the final, fireworks going off in the final, fireworks going off in the background and all sorts of glitter and w

mps oi'i we have already heard from tory mps on panorama that there are a number of tory mps who wouldt would then happen quest market could be a general election and we wouldn't be afraid of that but i would like to have a government of national unity to bring the parties together, probably headed up by a backbench labourmp and that probably headed up by a backbench labour mp and that would just be a temporary government for one purpose and one purpose alone, to pass the legislation for a peoples boat and thenl legislation for a peoples boat and then i believe we can win that vote and get out of this mess. some people think that sounds absolutely crazy. that is effectively the queen cancelling brexit, deciding we need an emergency national government where you would in—store yvette cooper or hilary benn to be prime minister. it's not the queen who would choose it it would be mps voting in parliament and we would say that the palace could send for this mp because this particular mp, whoever it was, was signalling that they had support across the parties to form a government of national

that as tory voters so it is not the same as the tory party membership who will be voting.uncillors i believe and they still have boris as lead at 61 over jeremy hunt's 39. it is hard to gauge the impact at this point. the mail on sunday have jeremy gauge the impact at this point. the mail on sunday havejeremy hunt. in his shirt sleeves. very different style at these hustings from boris johnson. he takes his jacket off. he rolls up his shirt sleeves. a role that sort of sleeves kind of guy. it isa that sort of sleeves kind of guy. it is a different sort of look. he has takena is a different sort of look. he has ta ken a leaf is a different sort of look. he has taken a leaf out of the david cameron style bike because david cameron style bike because david cameron famously that their son tony blair has done it once or twice. sleeves rolled up shows i am down for business. it is a good look. i thought he looked more diverse and boris looked more relaxed yesterday. ido boris looked more relaxed yesterday. i do not know why. perhaps he felt that he was within striking distance o

it shows the new leader of the tory party in the new leader of the tory party in the prime minister hasoblems as the old one. indeed. let's move on to what the impact this is all having on the uk economy. this is one person's view, it's the uk and ireland head of google's operations, saying that rand uk has lost its lustre, —— rand, saying if they had sold —— brand. he is saying that because of the uncertainty of exit. we know thatis the uncertainty of exit. we know that is the case. you say that, why do we know that is the case? because it- do we know that is the case? because it — mainly because of the headlines we get from different companies, not necessarily moving operations away from the uk but discussing the fact that there is operations moving away from the uk. there is a situation where markets are under pressure, sterling is under pressure, the uncertainty causes volatility in these areas. it just uncertainty causes volatility in these areas. itjust doesn't show that there is any real tangible downside within the uk, we know that, we know that economically, the country is in a

party faithful do not ca re fact the tory party faithful do not care about this.esterday it was clear that at the moment they are right in that assessment. it is difficult to assessment. it is difficult to assess what impact it has had, it is too early to say. it means there is a level of unpredictability about all of this, this is the beginning ofa all of this, this is the beginning of a four—week campaign, going around all corners of the uk, having hustings, it will be televised, there will be difficult questions. there were others yesterday about things he has said in the past, not just about his personal life, and all the things he has written about and said over the years, there will be people asking difficult questions, but it was always hard to know, you get the impression that those who do not like him in the first place will say that the personal life stuff needs to be a nswered personal life stuff needs to be answered and it is terrible, and those who think the person who can unite the country, bring together the tory party, will see none of thatis the t
