against borisjohnson, isn t it? david davis and i have always got on, i have spoken in his constituency, he has spoken in mine, but can you tell me a leader of the conservative party that david davis hasn t tried to get rid of? since margaret thatcher? it is quite difficult. david has quite a tendency to say that he has had enough of whoever happens to be the leader of the conservative party, it is one of his endearing qualities. well, that is where you come in. that s what is so interesting about seeing and hearing so much of you. let s talk about, you were such a contrast with when we last spoke on political thinking, a programme that is about a conversation, not a news style interrogation, after all. we couldn t escape the mogg, there were the moggsters. there was a group called moggmentum. like momentum forjeremy corbyn. what on earth happened to you? were you banished ? well, my role as leader of the house is that i do business questions every week, which covers the whole range of
of whoever happens to be the leader of the conservative party, it is one of his endearing qualities. well, that is where you come in. that s what is so interesting about seeing and hearing so much of you. let s talk about, you were such a contrast with when we last spoke on political thinking, a programme that is about a conversation, not a news style interrogation, after all. we couldn t escape the mogg, there were the moggsters. there was a group called moggmentum. like momentum forjeremy corbyn. what on earth happened to you? were you banished ? well, my role as leader of the house is that i do business questions every week, which covers the whole range of government policy. but, in reality, there wasn t a great deal for me to say on covid, that i wasn t a minister with responsibility for it. but i wonder if it wasn t also because you weren t as a freedom loving conservative, i have put it in inverted commas, i imagine that is the sort of description
i think also what has without question happened is nato has come together in a manner not seen in the last decade, that trump knocked that alliance on its knees, it s now vibrant, they re worried about the russians, they re worried about their own preparedness. secretary austin s meetings today in brussels with other defense minister from the 30 nato nations are vital. so i must admit i think we re in better circumstances today on deterrence and with president biden s very powerful presentation yesterday, maybe putin s starting to realize he s on the edge of a disastrous strategic mistake. let s talk about, peter baker, what the president had to say yesterday. first and foremost, yes, diplomacy, possibly deescalation. that being said, putin may very well still invade.
chipping away at it or lgbtq plus rights to live in dignity, among other things. all of that is in peril if we do not rebalance the court. it s why i m so pleased to see a poll showing that a majority of americans now support adding seats to the supreme court of the united states in order to protect reproductive freedom. and you hear a lot of democrats say, well, if we do it, if we change the size of the court, republicans will do it too. as you pointed out, mitch mcconnell already reduced the size to eight for over a year just a few years ago. let s talk about, unfortunately, the former guy at his neo fascist rally last night in texas. donald trump said a lot of authoritarian things, including suggesting for the first time that he d pardon the 1/6 rioters. he also warned what would happen if he was indicted for his alleged crimes. have a listen. if these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything
