is there is the kind of distinction between the pre—johnson tories and the tories that have come in sincefferent types of mps and they, on this issue, are very clear — most of them are thrilled to be earning the level of income that an mp gets. whereas some of the older guard think, "oh, yeah, we can earn a lot more. "what the heck's going on that this is all being stopped?" so this is an example of quite a significant divide and this issue has thrown it up. but i think other issues will do so, and would have done so, because this is highly unusual, what's happened — it has been called 'the red wall' and there's just sort of an acceptance that this has happened. but it remains remarkable that a party that, in the 19805, got nowhere near any of these seats, won loads of them and it's still being worked through, actually, what those implications are. and what the consequences are in policy terms, jeffrey, because one of the other things about the red wall in the north of england — the previously labour seats — announced this week on transport and train connections, which might seem very par

the interesting thing about this from a political point of view is that boris johnson and the toriese such a feature of making these big promises to the north of england, and i will always remember the morning after the election, he made this speech and he said, talked directly to people who voted tory for the first time, in areas that had never done before, and talked about how the pencil might have hovered over the box but he would keep his promises to them. let's be clear, the government is spending loads and loads of money on improving railways across a lot of the country, but that's the problem here, isn't it? they are not doing what they promised they would. you guys have been looking more closely at the details of it. does it stack up to something that feels like a promise that just hasn't been delivered? i think you are right. that sense that boris johnson has a ways tried to rebrand that idea of what being a conservative is, what being a conservative prime minister is, particularly to those people who voted conservative for the first time and may or may not be tempted to do

owen paterson was a tory cabinet minister, very long serving mp.und to have broken the lobbying rules more than a dozen times by talking to the government about various issues when he was on the payroll of two companies. the report into him the standards committee did was very, very clear that he had really done the wrong thing. he has always insisted that he was innocent and he was acting in the public interest. but the standards committee, which is in charge of making sure mps don't do naughty things, recommended that he should be suspended for 30 days. parliament was going to have to vote on that but instead of having a vote on that yesterday the tories came up with a plan to overhaul the rules that he had been found guilty of, which would have protected him and torn up the rule book, basically. now, that vote squeaked through last night by 18, which, when you've got a majority of 80, that tells you something's wrong. but there was a furious backlash. lots of tories were outraged. front pages were appalling for the conservatives this morning. it

ijust your message to them, and why should they vote tory again?— they vote tory again?etting three jabs, getting your booster, will become an important fact, and it will make life easier for you in all sorts of ways, and we will have to adjust our concept of what constitutes a full vaccination to take account of that, and i think thatis to take account of that, and i think that is increasingly obvious. the booster massively increases your protection. it takes it right back up protection. it takes it right back up to over 90%, and, as we can see from what's happening, the two jabs sadly do start to wane. so we've got to be responsible and we've got to reflect that fact in the way that we measure what constitutes full vaccination. 0n the integrated rail plan, which is going to be absolutely fantastic for the north, the northeast, northwest, the midlands, all i can advise you and everybody else to do is wait and see when it is unveiled on i think thursday. david hughes of pa. prime minister, thursday. david hughes of pa. prime minister. they _ thursday. david hughes of pa.

and even more so when a former tory prime minister brands the current tory prime minister's governmentlitically corrupt. it seems to me, as a lifelong conservative, that much of what they are doing is very un—conservative in its behaviour. there are many strands to this that go way beyond the standards committee imbroglio of the last few days. there is a general whiff of, "we are the masters now" about their behaviour. he's referring to the former cabinet minister owen paterson, who's now resigned as an mp. he was facing a 30 days commons suspension and the possibility of a by—election for breaking rules around the work he did for private companies, alongside being an mp. but the government tried to block or delay that. until, at least, it changed its mind. i think the way the government handled that was shameful and wrong and unworthy of this or indeed any government. it also had the effect of trashing the reputation of parliament. if there is one man who knows a thing or two about how damaging sleaze can be to a government, it would be sirjohn major. it came, at least in part, to def
