that's what i said, that he and william hague had both... had both made much the same point.hat i would like them to do is to stop parroting on the today programme or world at one or whatever, ridiculous arguments about the distinction between a party and a gathering, and whatever is the number 10 line. i mean, ijust think it's demeaning for them to go on doing that, and then they should, every cabinet minister... and this is because of what we understand happened in number 10. yeah. throughout the pandemic, when rules were broken. i mean, cabinet ministers, of course, want to pursue their own careers, but they should also take account of the national interest. and, what? you think it's in the national interest for one of the current cabinet members to move against the prime minister? i think it would be in the national interest for cabinet ministers to tell us very seriously why they think it's in the national interest for boris johnson not to move on and reoccupy his place as a distinguished sunday telegraph and telegraph columnist. and if no cabinet minister does that, do

and william hague a former leader of the conservative said it's a greater level of rejection than any previous tory leda has received. and yet can continue to lead. so in other words, it's widely believed that his time is very limited. now, he will have to go before the next election to buy legends coming up before the end of july. and they will show the way how the people think about maurice johnson. and he's not popular when he turned up at westminster abbey than the queens of 70 his anniversary, the jubilee service. he was booed by the crowd and that speaks volumes. i think, you know, ahead of yesterday's inner confidence vote. boys johnson told is impedes that he, as you know, we're talking, he would lead them to victory again in 2 weeks time. but, you know, we've got these by elections taking place. i want you to take a listen to what some voters have been saying in those constituencies about what they think. i don't think healthy in our prime minister. they much longer. and she regretful, but it's hip, someone else in the conservatism come forth into the path for better leisure

where we are also hearing in print at least from william hague. a "greater level of rejection" than any of his predecessors and should now resign. writing in the times he said, votes have been cast that show a greater level of rejection than any tory leader has ever endured and survived. deep inside, he should recognise that, and turn his mind to getting out in a way that spares party and country such agonies and uncertainties. i'm joined by our political correspondent, lots of people are asking either cabinets now going to asking either cabinets now going to ask against him? then;n asking either cabinets now going to ask against him?— ask against him? they all came out aainst ask against him? they all came out against him — ask against him? they all came out against him yesterday, _ ask against him? they all came out against him yesterday, pretty i ask against him? they all came outj against him yesterday, pretty much all of them very publicly. we know that was in a coordinated, concerted campaign behind the scenes to push them out there. most of

want to cut to the chase which of the former leader of the conservative party hugely respected, william haguewriting in the times of london that this is an honorable thing to do, leave. when does boris johnson exit? >> and another major point that he made in that piece was how the biggest worrying factor of boris johnson is how disparate the rebellion was last night step young, old, north, south, brexit remainders, not just one rebel faction to take. boris johnson has had a cabinet meeting with his ministers and he will try to hold them all to gather. --altogether. tom: jonathan informs me on the crazy government. what two people do in that room with the prime minister with the piece of paper and they say leave? how does that dynamic happen over the next 72 hours? >> don't forget, there are people in that room who want his job step the foreign secretary is interested in her jet --in his job. they will all be jostling for his job. mps from the north one more's ending. --more spending. they warned about the inflationary impact. tom: how do they do law? is it a lame-duck prime minister which is

you've got former leaders such as william hague, michael howard, both calling for the prime ministers no grand narrative. mps sidling up to the prime minister to confer for their areas. you can see this with the northern research group. they had a convention where they were very upsetting that for my minister that they did not come —— upset the prime minister did not come. the problem for the prime minister is all factions within the tory party... you have ian duncan smith who want tax but —— tax cuts. there is no grand narrative. leveling up is all fine, but you have a 400 billion overhang from covid, so leveling up won't bring any benefits in the next two years. that's where the tories are vulnerable. in a seat like tiverton, as long as you can remember, is that they're also now vulnerable. if i was in a seat like dominant rob, less than 3000 majority of live dems —— dominic raab. majority of live dems -- dominic raab. , j raab. they lost... they're calling for opposition — raab. they lost... they're calling for opposition parliamentarians l raab. they lost... they're calling| for

conservative writing also in the "times" that the earlier comments you are referring to come from lord william hague as well that what they are concerned about here is this flip-flop of policies if you like. the government here in downing street has introduced the last couple years the highest rate of taxation since the second world war, ostensibly to pay for the increased costs of the health care system after the pandemic but now boris johnson might say that what we need to do is cut taxes for business, cut taxes for ordinary people. and you've got concerns that that might be two populist a policy that could swing the pendulum between left and right about whether or not the government should be taxing so much or spending so much. and it might just be something that in the short time could keep boris johnson in office but in the long time won't necessarily convince his mps. they have also got two bi-elections coming up, and that will be difficult to navigate. conservative party is projected to lose those two seats. >> nina, thanks very much. >>> and a glimpse of what could be the future of drive-thr

former conservative leader william hague says: "votes have been cast that show a greater level of rejectionr has ever endured and survived." this is the view of one political biographer. he is an extraordinary operator as prime minister. we had 55 very few have the slinky and recreation gifts and to get out ofjail gifts of this particular prime minister so history will predict he will be toast within a few months mike but his own particular personality and his fighting spirit and his houdini character will suggest that something else might happen. our political editor chris mason has more. the problem is that he has 40% of his own mps who think somebody else should be pay minister. think his own mps who think somebody else should be pay minister.— should be pay minister. think about that. think about _ should be pay minister. think about that. think about how _ should be pay minister. think about that. think about how difficult - should be pay minister. think about that. think about how difficult it - that. think about how difficult it is to run a government when you are up is to run a gove

william hague, the former leader of the conservative party, said borisjohnson will try to go on, but equivalent to "drive along the m1 with two flat tyres". in his column in the times newspaper, mr hague said the prime minister "should recognise that and turn his mind to getting out in a way that spares party and country such agonies and uncertainties". let's bring in matthew goodwin, professor of politics from the university of kent. good to see you. how do you think this ends? can he rebuild trust in the party or is he mortally wounded? he is certainly a diminished political— he is certainly a diminished political figure today. he has lost a lot of— political figure today. he has lost a lot of goodwill within the conservative parliamentary party and also across _ conservative parliamentary party and also across the country as a whole and indeed — also across the country as a whole and indeed there was a fresh opinion poll today— and indeed there was a fresh opinion poll today and honestly we should not read _ poll today and honestly we should not read too much into single pulse but
