but to be honest, whoever was leading the tory party 2000 when it would have party in 2000 when it wouldave led them another landslide led them to another landslide defeat, just to defeat, he just happened to be at helm the time. so the at the helm at the time. so the advisory role that he's playing behind yeah that behind the scenes. yeah that that's that is that's that's true that that is happening listen happening and sunak does listen to says really. very to what he says really. very interesting that we've been digging through those digging through some of those columns morning it looks columns this morning it looks like technology like science and technology may well important of well be a very important part of what place this morning. what takes place this morning. but now let's cross over to downing street see what's downing street to see what's going what becoming a going on and what becoming a very, morning . very, very street this morning. oh, i beg your pardon. let's cross now to westminster, where course there is much on as well. traditionally, sackings are done, not in part

for example, people accusing the tory party and these far right extremist groups of kind of using the same language. if you will hear things stop the invasion that you can see there in yellow thing, they must act now calling for people to go protest, of course, that language, stop the invasion coming straight out of the mouth of a certain politicians. i just want to ask you, diane, i mean, reporting on this consistently as you have, how would you frame this in terms of the crossover between the far right politicians and the media sort of in, in flaming this situation? ah, it will certainly the, the current home secretaries to al or brother mine has been criticized of using inflammatory language such as the word invasion, referring to the asylum seekers who arrived in the u. k. on small, but as you say, that's the same language that the far right is using. but what, what we're not seeing from mainstream politicians is any very strong rebuttal of, of what the far right to doing. and that's concerning the far right. certainly very active at the moment, but they have always been around an

. deputy chair of the tory party.ey would get the death penalty, a knife related murder that bring the that it would bring the stabbings fatal stabbings and the fatal stabbings and the fatal stabbings . down and that's a stabbings. down and that's a huge discussion . so for the huge discussion. so for the papers i've read , bringing in papers i've read, bringing in the death penalty , does it the death penalty, does it necessarily reduce murders? because people who commit murder don't think they're going to get caught anyway. yeah. the people who are psychopaths don't think that far enough ahead to realise the consequences to , their the consequences to, their actions. so it doesn't really affect that, that, that i'm in favour of the death penalty for many, many different crimes and that penalty works in two ways. a it people confidence in the neighbourhoods they live that there is a severe for certain things and it will deter a small percentage of people . it's then percentage of people. it's then also a warning to t

if you look if you look now mark and frankly the tory party is in and frankly the tory party is in ac state and of course you've got the boris johnson plotters . it's in the johnson plotters. it's in the isn't it interesting , that on isn't it interesting, that on the anniversary, the third anniversary of brexit and the anniversary of brexit and the anniversary you have a week of anniversaries of 100 days for bofisis anniversaries of 100 days for boris is certainly very high profile reign ranging from putin to wipe out with a missile in fact but i think putin dreadful you know terrible terrible dictator and danger danger but that was clearly bit of black humour and i normally tape recordings taken when leaders talk each certainly if it's the president of the usa said let's hear the tape recording on that one and one. i agree with boris his stance on ukraine. let's not forget that boris back during the referendum campaign actually mitigate red for putin's invasion ukraine and said it was eu expansionism partly was to blame for . it eu expansionism partly was to blame for. it is changes

so on behalf of the tory party, which he apologized for her? >> mr.aker, on the first day that i i took office i said tt mistakes have been made. so what we have done, what we have done, what we've done is to ensure that right after e you mentioned the pound and in multi-month high, borrowing cost restored to back where they should and an economy stabilize, and a clear plan to halt inflation grow the economy. that's what the conservatives are delivering in government and we continue to deliver it as well to the people of scotland. >> thank you, mr. speaker here early in my constituency is bidding to host world events championship in 2026. this event is one of the pinnacles of the sport, and if we were successful in our bid it would provide massive boost for the local economy as well as massive coverage of the uk on the global scene. early have a formidable track record of success having prettily hosted two world championships and six european champions. with my right, right honorable friend agree with me that early would make a fantastic venue and woo

the problem is with the tory party which is unable to give effect to the mandate that they were given16 because they're riven with division and they're riven with division and they should have thought about it before they embarked on the referendum . david cameron went referendum. david cameron went into the referendum because he was terrified of ukip and he didn't think about the consequences. he didn't put in place what he was recommended to do, which was to have a 10% difference. but he ignored all the advice. well, we all know where we are and we know we are where we are and we know we are where we are and we know we are where we are. so we have to make it work so that's why, you know, at some point somebody going at some point somebody is going to compromise and it's to have to compromise and it's either conservative party on either the conservative party on which ben and i complete , we which ben and i complete, we agree that they're hopeless by and large, but from different sides of the political fence and rishi sunak is either got be rishi sunak is either got to be bold enough

he's the deputy chairman now of the tory party. article that he's done recently which i have to make clear he did do before he was appointed to the position of chair of the tory party and he was saying basically that it wouldn't be opposed to seeing a return to the death penalty and as he explains himself, nobody has ever committed a crime after being executed. makes sense to me. peter, are you in favour of it? no. no. to i think it's barbaric and i think lee anderson justification. no one's ever committed a crime after being killed by the state is a really foolish one. i don't think it's true. i think it's a well, lots of things are true. not necessarily good ideas. i think it's not the state's role to kill people. to me, the primary role of prison is not about punishment. it's about keeping everyone else the keeping everyone else safe. the law public clearly law abiding public clearly socially, very difficult to rehabilitate and some people, but it would just be going back 50 or 100 years in time. i know very few people that are

because are a lot of people within the tory party want boris back. it's insane. there's a lot of people insane. there's a lot of people insane. there's a lot of people in the labour who want corbyn back. it's insane. insane. would you have , boris back? no, no . you have, boris back? no, no. he's a crook. rebecca me ask you this . i've he's a crook. rebecca me ask you this. i've been talking about potentially having some change. we've got what? we've got at the moment. do you think there is any chance that rishi can out the mess and actually as well get the confidence back from who are watching this programme in the public that actually not just the party but the politicians in general the can function sensibly unlike grown up adults . absolutely not. no, up adults. absolutely not. no, he can't. he can't restore faith. he can't restore trust. we need to have a whole new government to, even try and start doing that. whatever that may look like not for me, unfortunately . we're talking unfortunately. we're talking about him being in 100 days and all the rest of it.

the deputy prime minister dominic raab, and a continued absence of a tory party chairman after zahawi affair. well a lot to get stuck into. joining me now is our political reporter olivia utley. and olivia, let's start dominic raab, because there's been this independent casey investigation carried out by adam. totally. casey going on now for the best part of four months. and yet all of the leaks that we've seen about , all of the sort of about, all of the sort of tidbits that have popped up in the papers, there's a peculiar anecdote about tomatoes in a sandwich , but also a lot of . sandwich, but also a lot of. dominic raab simply saying, you've got to do work better. this work isn't enough. please do this work again. this work isn't enough. please do this work again . that seemed do this work again. that seemed to be the smoking gun in the papers over the weekend. well yes, i think there are plenty of people in the private who will have read that report in the sunday times yesterday about dominic behaviour and thought that actions which that the sort of actions which dominic raab had
