can i ask you, as the tory leadership contest continues, borisjohnson, jeremy hunt, who do you want toxit rally that took place in birmingham la st rally that took place in birmingham last sunday. i suspect that one of the things, i know, that one of the things we are doing is scaring the major parties. so if you want me to choose between those two it is not myjob andl choose between those two it is not myjob and i don't have a vote and i was thrown out of the conservative party. but i would hope that whoever gets it will actually honour the 31st gets it will actually honour the 3ist october. i would have said that is more likely to be boris but now i am not so certain, withjeremy hunt suddenly becoming a convert to no deal if necessary. thank you for being with us. let‘s see what the weather is doing. it is actually not doing very much which for some of us is italy. an area of high pressure sitting across the uk with a lot of dry weather and plenty of sunshine and fair weather cloud bubbling up through the course of the day but much of that is now dissolving as the afternoon highs ebb

top story: borisjohnson has promised to energise the country, after winning victory in the tory leadership contest two—thirds of members‘ votes, comfortably defeating the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt. mrjohnson will officially become prime minister tomorrow after a meeting with the queen at buckingham palace. in his victory speech, mrjohnson promised to unite the country — and deliver brexit by the deadline of 31st october. but he's already seen some ministerial resignations — and there could be more — as several cabinet members have already said they can't support his "do or die" pledge to leave the eu. iain watson has our first report. he walked in first but finished second, jeremy hunt was decisively defeated by borisjohnson. for many, the former foreign secretary was the face of brexit, the mop—topped figurehead of vote leave and that probably appealed to the two thirds of conservative members who gave him their support. he said he'd take britain out of the eu by the end of october and his acceptance speech was a cocktail of optimism and humour with the slightest dash of detail. we know the ma

the two men battling to win the tory leadership contest face questioning — borisjohnson admits his comments

contest. our scotland editor sarah smith sent this report from perth. welcome to scotland. noisy independence protesters are determined to be heard, as the tory leadershiprives north of the border. at the nearby scottish game fair, voters were considering how the contest could affect scotland. borisjohnson would be more likely to lead to an independent scotland in the shorter term. why? just because he is rather outspoken, and to a certain extent, he's the antithesis of what people in scotland are looking for as a politician. i think boris is not popular in scotland. why is that? why is boris not popular in scotland? i think he's too flippant. i don't think he's serious enough for the scots. he's not down—to—earth enough. despite the foxhounds, not everyone here is a hunt fan. i hate to say it, but probably boris. why? oh, gosh, i don't know. because he has more personality, i think. borisjohnson has got eager support from several scottish tory mps, who clearly don't think him or his brexit plans are a threat to the union. my first priority is obviously the union, and that would, i hope, be obvious. would you say the same if someone in england asked you

that gives you an idea of the distrust, the hostility and division now gripping the tory party in this leadership contesttjohn major said on the today programme this morning. in order to close down parliament, the prime minister would have to go to her majesty the queen and ask for her permission to prorogue. if her first minister asks for that permission, it is almost inconceivable that the queen will do anything other than grant it. she's advised by her first minister. and she is then in the midst of a constitutional controversy that no serious politician should put the queen in the middle. now i think this is completely and utterly against parliamentary tradition and against the way in which our government should work. if that were to happen, i think there would be a queue of people who would seekjudicial review. the queen's decision cannot be challenged in law. but the prime minister's advice to the queen can, i believe, be challenged in law. i for one would be prepared to go and seekjudicial review to prevent parliament being bypassed. now that prospect of a judicial review opens up an entirely new
