event and very much a lesson and what not to in order to secure a form of followership and compliance from your population. and compliance from your population- and compliance from your oulation. ., ~ ~ population. thank you, alex, for our population. thank you, alex, for your opinion population. thank you, alex, for your opinion on population. thank you, alex, for your opinion on that. - population. thank you, alex, for your opinion on that. as | population. thank you, alex, for your opinion on that. as i | for your opinion on that. as i have already mentioned we will have already mentioned we will have more on the new rules as they come into effect in our business coverage but now let s bring you all the latest sports news. hello i m tulsen tollett and this is your sports news where we start with football and barcelona have failed to make it into the knockout stages of the champions league for the first time in 21 years after they lost 3 0 to bayern munich. two goals in the fir
allegations british pm borisjohnson s staff held parties in breach of lockdown rules last year. i m joined by alex haslam, he s a professor of psychology at the university of queensland, and specialises in the psychology of leadership. he joins me from the south coast of new south wales, a warm welcome to the programme, alex. first of all, give us your take on this situation unfolding in the uk and what the fallout could be for the prime minister. i think it will be very for the prime minister. i think it will be very substantial - it will be very substantial fallout. in many ways it is a catastrophe for his leadership and cataclysmic for the followership that that leadership should inspire. so the point about leadership is notjust to be seen as a leader, it is to get people to go along with your ideas and to accept your authority and to follow your guidance. but i
will not survive many defections from his followership and that puts a real bind on him. on that note, look at what is going on are marjorie taylor greene and kevin mccarthy. challenged by another republican for leader. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene has a lot of pull with the republican base. listen to what she said. kevin mccarthy has a problem in our conference. he doesn t have the full support to be speaker. he doesn t have the votes that are there because there s many of us unhappy about the failure to hold republicans accountable while conservatives like me, paul gosar and many others constantly take the abuse by the democrats. after that, she tweeted out that she spoke on the phone with mccarthy and liked what he has planned ahead, but scott, what does this is a say about the
bigoted comments is outrageous. we call on the republican leadership to address this priority with the congresswoman and to finally take real action to confront racism. armesh, this isn t the first time members of the republican party have said things that are frankly racist and what does it say about the leadership of the party in the house in particular that they re not condemning it? well, i think one of the things it says is that we ve got a weak house leadership and i don t think that s just a reflection on the personal qualities of the house republican leaders. it s the way the house has now evolved where the leadership can t discipline its members in a strong way. you ve seen that in both parties, ironically with ilhan omar vis-a-vis nancy pelosi. mccartney knows his standing will not survive many defections from his followership and that puts a real bind on him.
know, really that comes down to the democrats saying to themselves does the president who has a 42% job approval. is it worth us sticking out our neck to save him? i m not for this or that. if joe biden had a 60% job approval rating you bet those democrats would have his back and they would support him. that s the trouble with being a weak president. weakness invites a lack of followership and where the biden presidency is now i m afraid. harris: is he in trouble when he comes out? is this a sign, the fact that he will talk to all of us but not come out? i thought there would be some artwork here, maybe a pointer, big board. these are the things i got for you that i promised. remember, with trump it was promises kept. i got to israel when they were opening up the jerusalem/u.s. embassy moved it from tel aviv. in israel there were banners along the streets in jerusalem that said trump promises kept.
