alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. uncertainty about who will lead the government comes as it faces some difficult choices. there are pressing questions about the direction of the economy, the demand on the nhs, and trade policy in northern ireland due to brexit. 0ur correspondents have been considering some of the challenges ahead. early this week, before the prime minister's resignation speech, the plan was that the new chancellor would review all tax and spend policy, with nothing off the table, so potentially a cut to vat, a fast tracking of a planned income tax rise, perhaps cancelling the planned rise in corporation tax. that is now all being left to a new prime minister. but there are important decisions that will need to be made in the coming weeks. for example, 0fgem is planning to set a new level for the energy price cap for winter. that could be above £3,000. surely the government will want to respond in some way. and then, there is public sector pay. the review bodies have been reporting back to government

chris mason, bbc news, westminster. as chris was saying, today's events are the culmination of months of chaos in borisjohnson's government and a barrage of questions about standards of trust and integrity in 10 downing street. the prime minister's handling of the partygate scandal and the criticism of his leadership in an official report has caused deep unease among conservative mps, and a corresponding drop in mrjohnson's ratings as prime minister. last month, more than 140 conservative mps declared a lack of confidence in mrjohnson's leadership. our deputy political editor vicki young reports on the crisis so far — and what's likely to happen next. hi, sorry. how are you? he was the toast of the conservative party, winning a clear election victory that should have made governing easy. but tonight, borisjohnson's team is falling apart and many colleagues say he only has himself to blame. of course, he hasn't been helped by unexpected events. a pandemic meant very difficult decisions that no leader would expect to ma
