ministers may want to move on from partygate, but the political fallout continues. labour mp and chair of the commons select committee, chris bryant, on standardsjoins me now. thank you forjoining us. do you agree with lord geidt first of all that there are legitimate questions about whether the prime minister breached the ministerial code? yes. breached the ministerial code? yes, i think not breached the ministerial code? yes, i think not only _ breached the ministerial code? ya: i think not only legitimate questions, i think lord geidt is being very measured and calm and civil servants alike in giving advice to the prime minister. lord geidt is a wonderful man and he's been placed in an absolutely invidious and impossible position. i read what he says is basically saying, prime minister, i think you have broken the ministerial code, you know perfectly well that that means, if you do that, you resign. i can't say that because my job means, if you do that, you resign. i can't say that because myjob does not allow me to launch an investigation into you unless you all

perhaps you would have thought this partygate scandal would have looked trivial, but clearly it's not and there are damaging repercussions and this is a fight of a lifetime and he may not win it. >> ivan watson trading missiles for missiles is what ivan says right now. ultimately, how dangerous does that get if there's these competing missile tests between the north and snout. >> incredibly dangerous because u.s. assessment is there could be -- north korea could potentially be testing nuclear weapons at any point. there has been something like 17 different launches this year alone. when you have this new south korean president who's come forward and saying, we're going to take a tougher stance on this. the mix of all this and biden's visit out there, a united front from them and japan as well, it's not a great combination. >> last word on korea? >> i agree. this is clearly a message that north korea sent, but a stronger message, i would say, from the united states and south korea with these joint military exercises, testing these missiles, the same number of missiles, eight missiles,

vote, as it's known, triggered by his own conservative party after being dragged down by the so-called partygate scandal when he and his staff broke covid lockdown rules by having parties. i wonder how seriously number 10, the prime minister, taking this vote. is it possible there are enough votes there to force him out? >> reporter: well, look, jim, this is perhaps the most serious challenge to the prime minister's leadership we've seen over recent weeks and months. the prime minister has faced the metropolitan police investigation and the cabinet report which detailed the damning evidence of parties and social gatherings that took place here at downing street and other government buildings. of course, the prime minister has faced repeated calls for his resignation. now, of course, that vote of confidence has been triggered. it is a very serious matter for the prime minister. that vote of confidence would have already required 54 letters from conservative mps to trigger the vote in the first place. now that key number we're looking for, 180 plus one, more than half of the conservative mps, that

in the west mr bubble, we perhaps get a little bit wrapped up in things like partygate —— westminster bubble. is the prime minister going survive the next couple months? but as a matter of fact, in the real world, people are more concerned about, can they fill up more concerned about, can they fill up their car? can they get the train to work? can they afford to keep their home? feed their kids? these are the real bread—and—butter issues which are more likely to bring down this government, rather than parties in number 10, this government, rather than parties in number10, so, yeah, it is, as we said earlier, the prime ministers desperate to move on, to get onto positive things, as far as the government is concerned, to get around all the controversy around the sue gray report about privileges —— the privileges committee inquiry coming up, from the message, but is difficult to do so when you call me has not grown, inflation is soaring, interest rates are going up and people are really, really struggling. people are really, really struggling-— people are really, really stru~li

chief among them, the partygate saga, were johnson and his staff were found to have flouted covid lockdown rules that downing street gatherings. johnson became the first pm judged to have broken the law while in office, an official inquiry criticizing his lack of leadership. >> the british public are fed up with promises that are baked but never delivered. fed up with a prime minister who presided over a culture of lies and lawbreaking at the heart of government, fed up with a prime minister who is utterly unfit for the great office he holds. paul: a victory for boris johnson, but hardly a ringing endorsement of him and his leadership. one commentator monday said johnson's appeal and the party was a milewide, but just an inch deep. so it seems. johnson himself will undoubtedly battle tooth and nail to maintain his grip on power, but options are dwindling. current rules mean it will be at least 12 months before a new confidence vote can be called. questions about the prime minister's judgment and credibility remain and shows that surviving the confidence vote may only be a stay of execution

so it will be very interesting to see what the actual result will be, notjust because of partygate or other scandals that seem to have such a residence nationally, but here is a real local by—election which could be being fought on really local issues such as farming and agricultural.— issues such as farming and auricultural. , ., ., ,, , ., agricultural. joe, take us through the sunday _ agricultural. joe, take us through the sunday telegraph. _ it looks like the government is divided over taxes.— it looks like the government is divided over taxes. yes, this is the sto that divided over taxes. yes, this is the story that has _ divided over taxes. yes, this is the story that has been _ divided over taxes. yes, this is the story that has been rumbling - divided over taxes. yes, this is the j story that has been rumbling really for a number story that has been rumbling really fora number of weeks story that has been rumbling really for a number of weeks but came to a head with _ for a number of weeks but came to a head with the no—confidence vote this monday. the conservative pa

the personal is he needs to win back the trust of his backbenchers, notjust over partygate but over his style of government, his team, his willingness to listen to mps and work with them, but the structural issue behind that makes it harder, that the conservatives are divided on a number of things, like levels of taxation, how much the state should be focusing on a net zero, spending, the climate crisis. there are genuine, substantial divisions both among parliament and among the conservative collector among those questions, so above and beyond the personality issues the finest are conference, there genuine structural issues that are punting centre—right parties across western europe, and it is hard to see where the solution lies —— there are genuine. i it is hard to see where the solution lies -- there are genuine.- lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha. — lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha. that _ lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha, that his _ lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha, that his supporters - lies -- there are genuine. i know, natasha, that

mps on monday or tuesday, he was accused by one of them of whitewashing the prime minister during the partygate allegations. i don't know whether he was stung by that. those of the two theories. he didn't like being criticised, but there may be other reasons. the pure olitics of there may be other reasons. the pure politics of this — there may be other reasons. the pure politics of this may _ there may be other reasons. the pure politics of this may not _ there may be other reasons. the pure politics of this may not match - there may be other reasons. the pure politics of this may not match how- politics of this may not match how this would play out for other political leaders because boris johnson has lost an adviser before. you're actually right. it'll divide opinion in the usual way, we are thinking, so that chunk of the electorate, there's something pretty dodgy about boris johnson saying yeah, dodgy about borisjohnson saying yeah, right, dodgy about boris johnson saying yeah, right, that's what we always thought. the other large chunk think that old boris... and may well shrug it off. it

a number of the front pages focus on boris johnson and partygate. the telegraph reports, as we have been, that the prime minister's own ethics adviser has demanded an explanation from mrjohnson, and said there were "legitimate" questions about whether he broke the ministerial code. "rebels without a clue" — that's the headline on the daily mail. it says that allies of the prime minister have warned "reckless rebels" trying to remove boris johnson from number 10 that they could destroy the conservative party's best chance of winning the next election. the metro says mrjohnson could face a vote on his future as early as tuesday after a day of growing rebellion saw senior conservatives join back—benchers questioning his fitness for office. the daily express instead leads on transport news — it reports that failing travel bosses face an angry showdown with transport secretary grant shapps over what the paper says is a "holiday hell" hitting britain. those cancelled flights and there was trouble on the ferries, as well. they are reporting on e8 was

legitimate question over whether the prime minister broke the ministerial code, after being fined for partygate. but his colleagues still insist he will not need to resign. these are significant issues but we have had a range of accountability and transparency around it. i don't think this ends in a leadership challenge. the us says it will send more advanced rocket systems and munitions to ukraine — to fight against russian forces at key targets. british officials say it's increasingly evident that sanctions imposed on russia by the west are affecting the russian economy. tech firms are urged to do more to make it saferfor women tech firms are urged to do more to make it safer for women and girls to be online. and a procession fit for a queen. we are at the final dress rehearsal is more sunday'sjubilee pageant, as 6000 performers prepare to take part in the carnival celebration. hello and welcome to bbc news. the transport secretary grant shapps is planning to meet all sides in the aviation industry to discuss the continuing disruption at airports. he's accused airlines of overselling flight

that probably won't happen til the autumn but that's the area where the partygate issue could still return and could get result in this prime minister being unseated. let's compare that to previous votes. in 2018, theresa may survived one prompted by her brexit policy. she had around 37% of her mps voting against her. she resigned six months later. john major triggered a leadership contest in 1995. 32% of his mps voted against him. he then went on to lose the 1997 election. so borisjohnson, with 41% voting against, got less support than both of them. former conservative leader william hague says: "votes have been cast that show a greater level of rejection than any tory leader 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 some

he's a liar, and he lied about partygate. the man is not honest. he is not a statesman. i think there's nothing wrong with boris. i think he's all right. it's not every day the result of a vote in westminster is being followed so closely here. the vote in favour of having confidence in borisjohnson as leader was 211 votes and the vote against was 148. cheering. come on, boris! paid off. they've been paid off. i think he's a great chap. i'll stand by him. yeah, same with any of them. you know, if you own up, be honest with everybody, you're fine. - the prime minister may be safe for now, but it's the opinion of voters in towns like bury that will determine forjust how long. well, let's talk about some of the issues really that are affecting people's day—to—day lives here in bury and places around the uk. we can speak to steve hughes from citizens advice. when you speak to people here, when they come to you for advice, what are the biggest pressures they�* re for advice, what are the biggest pressures they're facing? i for advice, what are the biggest pressures they'

no, not i entirely because there has been extensive reporting on the partygate scandals. and although there has been nothing comparable here, no similar breaking of laws during the lockdown by those who made them, there is no doubt a certain amount of glee in the french media and possibly the french political establishment that somebody who is seen as the arch brexiteer be laid low and laid low by a scandal that is in some ways rather petty because it involves drinking and partying. how does this kind of help him or hinder him, do you think? because he has a lot of reasons to be working with the french and german government at the moment over things like ukraine. we have the g7 summit coming up, big talks about the economy later this month, and nato meeting at the end of the month as well. and in the meantime he's got to try and get this problem over the northern ireland protocol resolved with the european union. yes. northern ireland protocol resolved with the european union. yes, well he will obviously _ with the european union. yes, well he will obviously hope _ with t

in his resignation letter, lord geidt says he came close to quitting over the partygate scandal. interest rates up again to 1.25% — the highest in more than a decade. the transport secretary has described next week's rail strikes as an act of self—harm by the union leadership.

the difficulty he has is that issues such as his conduct in 10 downing street, the so—called partygate affair, that is not going to go away because there is still one commons committee, one house of commons committee that is inquiring into whether borisjohnson misled parliament in that respect. right. professor tonge, a very quick question. the labour leader keir starmer said the conservative party was popping up mrjohnson in spite of popular opinion. how will he be viewing these developments? i think keir starmer will in many ways want borisjohnson to carry on as leader because it —— he looks politically wounded. the fact that he was booed at the jubilee celebrations over the weekend spoke volumes about where public opinion has shifted in terms of borisjohnson. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: what the public make of borisjohnson's leadership —— climate change and conflict — how global efforts to tackle carbon emmissions are being affected by the war in ukraine. the day the british liberated the falklands. and by tonight, british troops hav

it's the first test of voters opinions since the partygate scandal and the prime minister's confidence vote. the results are expected in the early hours of friday. borisjohnson is in east africa ahead of the commonwealth leaders' summit which begins in rwanda tomorrow. he's been defending his asylum deal with rwanda today whie ——he's been defending his asylum deal with rwanda today while touring the capital kigali. the prime minister is due to hold a meeting with prince charles on friday as they both attend the summit. european union leaders have approved both ukraine and moldova as official candidates for membership of the bloc. the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, said she was convinced that both countries would move as swiftly as possible to implement necessary reforms, and hailed the decision as a much needed source of hope for those countries. let me stress that i am deeply convinced that our decision that we have taken today strengthened us all. it strengthens ukraine, moldova and georgia in the face of russian aggression, and it strengthens the eur

and they are notjust about partygate, although that is a concern. we've also got a deep concern about the way in which policy is being conducted, which is to create dividing lines and culture war and political disagreementjust at a time when we need unifying, inclusive, energetic positive leadership. and we've also seen a resignation today, tory mpjohn penrose. he's resigned as the government's anti—corruption champion, a post he's held since 2017. so the sue gray report is very serious set of criticisms about leadership and if that goes to the top, that means the prime minister, and one of the key principles underlying and running all the way through the ministerial code is leadership and that's one of the seven nolan principles in public life. and he did not address that at all and the difficulty is if you read the report you cannot reach any other conclusion. i think than that he breached that principle and therefore he must have breached the ministerial code and that is normally a resignation issue. it should be a resignation issue for him and

in that letter, he said he was close to resigning over partygate, but said he was also asked to advise the prime minister on a matter which he believed would breach international law and couldn't be partial. the prime minister in response argued that this question was a matter of national interest. we understand this was basically in relation to looking at extending certain tariffs on chinese steel which the prime minister argued would be compliant, domestic law wouldn't comply. today, lord geidt hit back somewhat and some of the portrayals of the reasons for �*s resignation he said was the focus on steel tariffs on a bit of a distraction. he was frustrated by being asked to be privy and to comment on a matter that would deliberately break international law. today he said he believed this government had expressed its openness to breaking international law, and that is not something he wanted to be associated with. ., ~ something he wanted to be associated with. . ~ i. something he wanted to be associated with. ., ~' ,, , something he wanted to be associated with. . ~ i. , . we'll and

it's the first test of voters opinions since the partygate scandal and the british prime minister's confidence vote. in wakefield, the conservatives are defending a majority ofjust over 3,000. and in tiverton and honiton — the tories have a much larger majority of more than 2a,000. let's talk to bbc newsnight�*s policy editor, lewis goodall. he'll be with us throughout the night, bringing you all the latest updates from both constituencies. always good to have you on the programme. why are these by elections so significant? coming off the backdrop of party gate and also the confidence vote, as he said. the political situation for borisjohnson for some time now has been extremely feeble, he has been extremely feeble, he has a run a by election losses and he is now facing the prospect in the midst of come as you say, party gate, which is a deeply, deeply damaging political period and political crisis for him, but also and perhaps even more significantly, the profound economic malaise, which is now spreading throughout britain as it has done across much of the western world. there is the pros

tom: there has been a lot of focus on partygate, but to what extent is this about divisions within the party when it comes to the need to shore up redwall constituents, versus the neoliberal event that permeates much of the party? to what extent do we see the contours of a fundamentally divided conservative party? tim: you make a good point. there is this mismatch between the ideology of most conservative mp's, which is low tax if possible and a smaller state, versus what they promise the electorate, which was to get brexit done to shore up public services, and to spend more money on the national health service, policing and schools. boris johnson thinks you can have your cake and eat it, i'm not sure conservative mp's feel the same way. the problem for rishi sunak's he seems to be allergic to -- and seems to be keener on raising taxes to pay for all this. most conservatives don't agree, so there are on a mental argument going on there. francine: tom: tim bale, professor of politics at the university of london, rate analysis following that victory at least for now for the prime ministe

while some voters have mentioned partygate to me, unprompted, not all were disapproving of the prime minister. amongst a plethora of grey personalities, he's got some personality. he's made mistakes, but to be honest, i don't care if he had a piece of cake at his party. i don't care if keir starmer had a beer at the end of his day in the north—east. i don't care. once safe labour, then conservative, wakefield is now fiercely contested political territory. iain watson, bbc news, west yorkshire. for a full list of candidates standing in the wakefield by—election, which takes place on thursday 23 june, visit the bbc website. with under a month to go until england hosts the women's euros, the duke of cambridge, who is also president of the football association, has been meeting the england team at st george's park. the squad for the tournament will be announced later this afternoon. our sports correspondent jane dougall is there. how important is this tournament for the women's game? the home euros is a huge opportunity for england and going into the tournament they are probably one

we saw this with partygate. now we are seeing it again. that we don't have to follow human rights law, we can do it on our own. that is a consistent theme in this government. i want to pick up on that, in truth, international human rights law is kind of voluntary. people have chosen to adopt this. but because there is no sanction and no actual enforcement, it is something we have chosen to follow, we are not obliged. it is not part of our system. of course, but the court was saying they are waiting until there has been a judicial review, and the judicial process in the uk is finished. they were saying, go to your own system and we can take it from there. butjeffrey is right, the government have had a success out of this, they had what they wanted, they wanted to start a fuss, they wanted to cause a smoke screen. the reality is they have a policy, a system which is not working very well for them. 72% of people coming win their cases, another half or so win them on asylum. the number of people being sent home or forcibly evacuated has fallen

row that has besieged his government for months and that he has found to be doing wrong, particularly partygate, where he received and accepted a criminal sanction for his role in taking part in an illegal gathering. so, i am interested that he is trying to distance himself in this way, and i think it is going to cut the mustard with those critics among his backbenchers and indeed some wavering tory mps who really want to see him take responsibility for his role in these by—election defeats and signal that something will change, it won't be business as usual. it change, it won't be business as usual. , ., ., , ., ~ , change, it won't be business as usual. , ., ., ~, ., usual. it is that group of mps that i was about _ usual. it is that group of mps that i was about to _ usual. it is that group of mps that i was about to ask— usual. it is that group of mps that i was about to ask you _ usual. it is that group of mps that i was about to ask you about, - usual. it is that group of mps that i i was about to ask you about, those who backed him in the confidence vote but said, look, this is a las

street under the steward ship of boris johnson is one that continues to suffer from the toxicity of the partygate scandal. remember boris johnson is still facing an ethics inquiry on that issue that continues, and this will be the narrative that you can expect the labour party to push forward. but in the meantime what boris johnson is trying to do to try to rally the forces around him in his own party and get some of those 41% of mps who voted no confidence in him just a couple of days ago back on board is to offer some red meat for the conservative voter if you like. and that is in the promise of potential tax cuts going forward. but that plan has been shot down by another senior conservative writing also in the "times" that the earlier comments you are referring to come from lord william hague writing 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 t

that i think relating to partygate. but the law breaking parties that happened at number 10 downing street, you can hear some of it here. at number 10 downing street during lockdowns under boris johnson's watch. he actually attended some of those parties. when the duke and duchess of sussex arrived more cheers than boos. and they were very high up in the order of arrivals in st. paul's cathedral which shows the royal family very much want them to be a big part of the family. kim? >> we'll keep following along throughout the day. anna stewart, thank you so much. and i'm kim brunhuber. if you're watching from here in north america, the news continues after a quick break. for our international viewer, "african voices: change makers" is next. if you have to pre-rinse your dishes, you could be using the wrong detergent. and you're wasting up to 20 gallons of water every time. let's end this habit. skip the r rinse... with finish quantum. its activelift technology has the power to tackle 24 hour dried on food stains- wiwithou

but it isn't the only issue the prime minister has been wrapped up in numerous scandals, namely the partygate scandal facing three separate inquiries, questions about his integrity, it does seem to be one scandal after another for the prime minister. we've already heard from the conservative party chairman this morning, let me read and you quit bit, he says this is the latest in a run of very poor results. he said that conservative voters have been distressed and disappointed by recent events and that somebody must take responsibility. that is him issuing his resignation. but many critics that might say that actually should be the prime minister taking responsibility. we've already heard from victorious candidates say that it is time for the prime minister to go. >> well, let's see whether others will follow with a resignation there. nada, thank you very much. >>> and while mr. johnson isdifs attending the summit in rwanda where he is set to hold a private meeting with prince charles in the coming hours. they may discuss mr. johnson's controversial plan to send refugees to rwanda, a plan that

he was polling very well, but then croencountered his own set scandals with partygate and his tax affairs, and his chancellor hit him badly. he has been more or less removed from the running. you have the foreign secretary, liz trust who many liken to margaret thatcher. and he's another figure from the sort of center left of the party that could be an option. but it's really anyone's guess, and first things first, those votes need to be counted right now, and we'll get the result probably in just under an hour that will tell us whether or not boris johnson will stay on and remain prime minister. >> last one very quickly for you, will we get the count of the yays and nays or is this a pass or fail. >> i believe we'll get the count. that's quite an important thing for mps and journalists to understand and that's because it's all about margins. i'm glad you asked that question. even though he technically only needs 180 votes, if he gets anywhere near that and the vote is on a knife edge, his authority and power is all but completely drained. he really needs a chunk, 2/3 or so of his party to

. >> you were recently asked about criticism from your party about partygate and you said you were not going to undergo a psychological transformation. that's a quote of yours, psychological transformation. some are upset. they say that suggests you don't get how much members of the public that feel betrayed by the parties going on during the strict covid rules and it shows that you're out of touch. >> yeah. i think the -- when you're taking your country through a tough time, we went through a tough pandemic. we've now got some seriously -- you're bound to come in for a lot of criticism and a lot of, you know, scrutiny. and that is fine. but i have to decide what is the stuff that i need to change and the stuff that will make a real difference to people. and the stuff you need to change, that really matters, is the way our energy markets work, the way our housing markets work, the cost of our transport systems, the purd of taxation that people face. that's where the change is coming. that's the program we've had. that's our plan for a stronger economy. and i think that's what people wa

do people in northern ireland talk about partygate or not? they have had some quite heavy politics in northern ireland other than partygate. yes, of course, you get the same kind of views in northern ireland that you do over here. there are some people who are outraged and say, and other people are fed up with it at the same time. of course people are on the radio phone—ins, on stephen nolan and things like that, talking about that, but you have to remember, in northern ireland we have completely different parties over there for the most part so there is always... political parties, to be clear! i thought you meant other kinds of parties! not the wine and cheese parties! we have those. we have different political parties so there is always that level of detachment about the drama going on in westminster. we have our own dramas in northern ireland between the political parties there and you have to remember, we had our own big covid rule breaking by political leaders moment when there was a big ira funeral, the bobby storey funeral during on

a growing number of members of his own party have turned against him mainly over partygate. that's when johnson had, let's call them socia events during uk lockdown, in a time when brits couldn't say good-bye to their loved ones during lockdown, all of this as the p.m. is facing a crushingly low approval rating and 65% of brits disapprove of the job he's doing and that's the latest poll. megan fitzgerald in london. are we thinking this could happen as soon as the top of the hour and what else can you tell us about what can be next? >> chris, we are expecting that at the top of the next hour. we know that they're in and they should be announced here shortly, but this has driven a rift between boris johnson and members of his own party and that's something that's very difficult to recover from even if he remains in power. we're talking as you mentioned more than 65% of the people of this country that disapprove of the job that he's doing. i'm not sure if you can hear behind me here, but these protesters here that are calling for his removal. take a look at friday, for example.

counting is underway in two key uk by—elections, in the first test of voters opinions since the partygate scandal and the prime minister�*s confidence vote. the taliban says the main search for survivors from the afghanistan earthquake is over — more than 1,000 people are thought to have been killed. translation: i ran towards my family but everything was under|

in that resignation letter he said he was close to resigning signing of the partygate was said that he was also asked to advise the prime minister and a matter that he believed would breach international law and can be partial to that. now, the prime minister in response argue that this particular question was a matter of national interest, that he wanted ludgate's advice on and we understand that this was basically in relation to looking at extending certain tariffs on chinese steel which while the prime minister argued would be compliant with domestic law wouldn't comply with world trade organization rules. today, lord geidt somewhat gave hit back at the resignation of some of the portrayals of his resignation yesterday and said his focus on steel tariffs was a distraction the real thing he was frustrated by was essentially being asked to be privy to and comment on asked to be privy to and comment on a matter that would deliberately break international law. he sort of went further than that as well today saying that he believed this government had sort of expressed its openness to br

they outrage within of a bland partygate became the catalyst for the no-confidence vote in parliament. boris's economic policies and here's where conservatives in america should take note. conservative boris johnson raised taxes and did it just as britain was sliding into recession. payroll taxes went up at the 5% consumption tax was added utility bills. incredibly a windfall profits tax is proposed for oil companies. that is what socialist bernie sanders proposes here. since when have conservatives been on the same tax page as bernie? perhaps even worse, johnson's green energy policy. fossil fuel production discouraged, utilities forced to use renewables which couldn't produce the juice required, inflation takes off. it reached 9% in britain and that is higher than 8% america. boris survived the no-confidence vote but his hold on power is shaky, party gate started the anti-johnson fire but it is his mismanagement of the economy that will do him in. a bit like biden over here. take note, second hour of varney just getting started. look who's here. miranda divine. do you think conserva

committee into whether or not he had misled the house of commons about some of his statements regarding partygate. but it does appear even though we know 140 of his own mps don't have confidence in him, he's maybe getting a bit of a breakfrom him, he's maybe getting a bit of a break from these internal attacks at least for a while.— least for a while. thanks for now, david, thank _ least for a while. thanks for now, david, thank you. _ let's return to the high cost of petrol of diesel. the six time major winner phil mickelson says he shouldn't have to give up his lifetime exemption to play on golf�*s pga tour. traditionally the pga tour has always been the premier week by week competition in the men's game, and organisers have threatened to ban any golfer who competes in the new saudi arabia backed golf series. the first tournament of this controversial new series starts tomorrow at the century and club in hertfordshire. mickelson has been one of the marquee names for the new competition, but he doesn't beleive he should be banned from the pga tour. i'v e i've also worked really hard to try a

some people feel, particularly around partygate, the parties during lockdown, that was unacceptable. i think he has done more than enough. i think he works hard, and he is doing what he can. i don't know why... maybe they don't like him. i don't think labour would have done any better with the pandemic that happened. he got us through that, and, yeah, he may have made a mistake, we all make mistakes in life. so i think he should stay. for now, the conservative party in westminster has made its decision on the prime minister. the by—election result here could give an indication of what direction ordinary voters want the country's leadership to go in. jenny kumah, bbc news. june the 20 30s one of them asked bates to look out for. questions about whether there was disgruntled mps who voted against the prime minister will support or the legislation that prime minister might want to push through. plenty of opportunity for a challenge but at the moment borisjohnson is still standing damaged but still very much settled safely in downing street for now. thank you. as russia continues to bo

what you also have to think about is that the partygate stuff, that is priced in. that damage has been exacting on the prime minister but the economy, and i suspect part of the results is as much about the economy, perhaps more so than anything else. the economic story has barely begun and we will be looking at a summer potentially of unrest in terms of trade unions. in autumn, the energy price rises. which is why a lot of conservatives are weighing up their future and wondering whether if a seat like tiverton and honiton can go and chesham and amersham and north shropshire can go, and indeed wakefield to the labour party, what will happen to my seat? and in politics, that is often the primary force when making these calculations. abs, force when making these calculations.— force when making these calculations. ., ., ., , ., calculations. a treat to have yuan. thank you- — this is not a normal post by—election morning because of the resignation of oliver dowden. we will be getting reaction this morning. speaking to all the parties in connection with how thing
