Had been expecting. It was a breaking story all afternoon to the extent that people were watching online the flight coming across europe and then cameras were trained oii europe and then cameras were trained on the plane itself and cameras trained on her chauffeur driven car as she came to downing street. It was inevitable, the writing was on the wall. People were getting the message that it would be the end whether she got sacked or resign. We saw the exchange of letters earlier and both seemed quite conciliatory. On one hand priti patel was thinking theresa may for an opportunity and trying to make the best of her work. On the other hand theresa may saying that you had done very well, but we could not possibly tolerate this ongoing situation with her perceived to perceived the government and public with these meetings. What happens next is interesting because there is a real disconnect between downing streets version of events and some of priti patels allies, claiming that another ten new more about some of these meetings before they are letting on. We will see more of that at the weekend i think. As priti patel quite naturally looks to protect her future position as faras to protect her future position as far as where she will be on the back bench. And as vocal as ever which cause theresa may some serious problems. That could be disastrous for the government. What she should do is lay low for a while. That wont happen she is an extremely strong operator and there is nothing wrong with that, it will cause a great crisis and pushing the crisis to the limit, the times reports that fears are growing in brussels that the instability of theresa mays government raises the real prospect ofa government raises the real prospect of a change in leadership, or an election leading to a labour victory. We should remember at this moment that you are a labour peer. If they wanted an election now im. If they wanted an election now im. Brussels if they wanted an election now im. Brussels will be rubbing their hands in glee with the notion ofjeremy their hands in glee with the notion of Jeremy Corbyn their hands in glee with the notion ofJeremy Corbyn negotiating brexit with this whole we will pay what we like you like and it will collapse. However, if it causes a government collapse and then puts a more staunch brexiteer in the hot seat. Then it could create a different outcome. In the more short term, people are now looking at who will replace priti patel. I think thatis will replace priti patel. I think that is also significant when it comes to theresa may trying to manage the best of a bad situation because obviously they are now a brexiteer down. She has a already faced criticism that the cabinet is too many remainers. Is mentioned that they need to replace priti patel with a brexit supporter to keep that balance and keep that gender balance. Not to mention colour balance. The guardian is calling this turmoil. Touching on the point of the difficulty of trying to replace her while keeping a delicate balance intact. The whole thing is really catastrophic. I am a labour peer but as a woman i feel sorry for this woman who is com pletely sorry for this woman who is completely caught up in what is really the endgame of her government. It is playing out day after day, more bad news, more bad news. She keeps going because she has a great sense of duty and rectitude. I see that when she goes to Church Every Day there is always a picture of her coming out of church. She doesnt need prayer on her side. Every week i hope, not everyday when we see her coming out of church on the sunday, she needs prayer on her side. Also the old adage that a week is a long time in politics. The rhetoric around the tory conference was that we can play the long game here, there wont be election for another three years, we have time to regroup. It people are saying she cant have another disaster, then there was the coughing fit, and letters falling off the sign, and now this. With the budget coming up, if that is some kind of catastrophe or there are National Insurance disasters, that is potentially going to be the last nail in the coffin. What we need is an imaginative new leadership. A imaginative political. She doesnt have that, she is very dogged and iu ns have that, she is very dogged and runs by the rules and routine. But it would be wonderful to have a hugely imaginative breakthrough in the leadership generally across politics in the country. When she has to find people to take these places, who are they . Wherein are coming from . It is interesting of the whole experience of this notion that they can skip a generation. When we are approaching brexit, will the public tolerate a complete newcomer with no track record . With theresa may, there has been some sympathy actually. When you look back to the coughing fit, she doesnt want the sympathy vote but she did garner respectjulie for her resilience. Im sure there are many viewers feeling sorry for the degree like you are. The telegraph, like so many other papers, dominated by priti patel. But it does also managed to squeeze in a brexit story. Settle the brexit bill deadlocked or we will shake the tree warns the eu. This focusing on the huge challenges. The trouble is that it is the damaged animal. And the circle around the damaged animal. They see the damage to the government and the rule of this country and they express their opportunity that they have two press forward their case. And many things are not solved. The whole business of the settlement, citizenship, and they are now predicting they wont start talks on trade until march. I think that seems quite likely because of all the agenda, the domestic agenda. Not to mention the austerities braking and the damage going on to the nhs and housing. All of that is getting neglected and it is absolutely crucial. There are a few other stories we should mention. The financial times, once again it has priti patel fair, but it is warning about mns skeletons. They are saying that profits look relatively healthy, but the jewel in the crown of Marks Spencer is its food department. It is a luxury for those who want to spend a bit more. But for some reason, the clothing and other areas have never had that consistency and never attracted the shoppers in their droves. It has beena shoppers in their droves. It has been a little bit up and down. Sometimes it is accused of being too dowdy, i had othertimes sometimes it is accused of being too dowdy, i had other times too edgy. What they are saying here, that sta ple what they are saying here, that staple of the high street, and i think Marks Spencer makes a tan, if you lose it you lose other shots and it is dangerous. Is it guaranteed top hat that foothold any more in face of huge online competition. In the face of much more convenience, and in the face of trying to be all things to everyone and not being anything to any of them. It does go through huge theories of solidly, boring, down theories of solidly, boring, down the stuff. That is a mainstay of many of our wardrobes it is the things we do the gardening in all walk the dog. But every womens outfitters does need planner and eye catching stuff. Sometimes you can walk in to the major store at marble arch and think there is nothing here is a we should just mention one other story that would have had more prominence if there wasnt else so much around. Antonio carluccio, goodbye wasnt else so much around. Antonio ca rluccio, goodbye ca rluccio. Wasnt else so much around. Antonio carluccio, goodbye carluccio. He died at the age of 80. He was a wonderful broadcaster and had still been working until fairly recently. He had a very successful chain of restau ra nts. He had a very successful chain of restaurants. Not always up to scratch because i think possibly he conceded that his leadership. He was a wonderful broadcaster about italian food because he loved it, he relished it. He clearly enjoyed it, his figures showed that he did it isa his figures showed that he did it is a passing that we should note, we owe him a lot. Just a brief mention of carluccio on the front page of the guardian. I think like characters like carluccio, you look at people like keith floyd, this ongoing obsession we have with celebrity chefs. It is quite right to have a tribute. And the fact that he had success with those restaurants later in life. Having already been a tv name and branched out to be this extraordinary businessmen and entrepreneur. If it wasnt for such a busy news day, i think those tributes would be a lot bigger. But they will come at the weekend. With the socalled implosion of the government there is a lot of competition for the front page tonight. And we will all rushed back to check out his mushroom recipes thank you damejoan bakewell and camilla tominey. That is it that the papers to light, and you can see the front pages online on the bbc news website. It is all there for you seven days a week. If you missed the programme you can watch it later online as well. Thank you to both of my guests. Goodbye. It wasnt a bad day for many parts of the british isles. It was a different story further north, but there was a brilliant sunset. But, it was a different story for scotla nd it was a different story for scotland and Northern Ireland. The cloud has been gathering and a fair bit of rain already. And quite a noticeable wind as well coming from the south west. Overnight, we will drag that cloud, wind and rain to the south, before it arrives in the far south east, temperatures will dip away and it could be a touch of frost. As the cloud rolls in, it will lift those temperatures. That is the cloud leaves the scene in the north west of scotland, there could bea north west of scotland, there could be a late frost rather than an only one. This is early thursday. A fair bit of cloud around, bits and pieces of rain. Dont take that too literally, but i think there is that chance of rain for many given the amount of cloud that is around. For anything more sparking than that you have to go to the north of england, parts of Northern Ireland and in true central and southern scotland. Full the further north you are at the wind is the feature, gale force in places. Some showers that are heavy. Through the day, we will drag the thickest cloud away to the continent. It may be lingering in the far south east. Following on behind is a relatively mild day compared to what is to come as we get on into the weekend. In fact, that chilling process starts across the north of britain as we get on through friday. Overnight, frontal systems through friday. Overnight, frontal syste ms ca n through friday. Overnight, frontal systems can be seen before we see the sunshine breaking through into southern england and wales. But the temperatures show what i mean. The last of any mild air is sitting in association with these frontal systems. It will be wet overnight, waiting in the wings, cold air which we will come back to. But still relatively mild air across the south. The overnight rain quits the scene. The cloud will take a long time to break up. Further north, bright yes, but on the cool side. And then oliver skipp to see that colder, brighter weather with a scattering of shallow string sunday. Showers. This is bbc news. The headlines at 11 00 International Development secretary priti patel resigns after a series of unauthorised meetings with israeli ministers. Officials. The head of nhs england says without more money, one in ten of us will be on a waiting list by 2021. The mother of a teenager accuses the Actor Kevin Spacey of sexually assaulting her son last year. And on newsnight, we know that priti patel has gone from the government, but where is the government going . Jacob rees mogg gives us his view. And we are in washington one year to the day since donald trump was elected resident. President
