And i think on that occasion, at the week in parliament a wee bit of generosity might with alicia macarthy. Have been appropriate. Im not criticising the front bench, they have a political statement to make, but ijust think a few of us, you know, further back from the leaders of power, we could actually have said, yes, youve not been the most successful Prime Minister, perhaps you are probably up there with bonar law, when it comes to the success gradient, but on the other hand, hello and welcome to you are leaving, lets at least show a little bit of respect. The week in parliament, as theresa may bows out at her final tory grant shapps agrees. Ijust thought, you know, pmqs and prepares to return to the backbenches. That duty to serve my constituents the other way around, will remain my greatest motivation. Boris johnson takes when it was blair going, the tory benches stood up, i thought it was a lopsided over at number ten atmosphere from that point of view. In the end, you are saying
The self proclaimed dude of downing street has already pledged to dispel the defeatism today. Today he sets out his vision for britain after brexit. For the next hour and a half well be speaking to allies of the new pm and critics too, plus mps from all sides. Well ask, can mrjohnson really deliver brexit on 31st october as promised . What will his other policy priorities be . And have a look at this. Politicians, as far as i can work out, are pretty incompetent. And then have a veneer of competence. Yes. You do seem to do it the other way around. Yes. I mean, you cant rule out the possibility that beneath the elaborately constructed veneer of a blithering idiot that there is another blithering idiot. Will borisjohnsons unique style be a help or a hindrance as pm . Well ask people who know him well what they think. Hello. Welcome to the programme. Were live until 11 this morning. Its Boris Johnsons first day in office. Lets see how the papers are reflecting it. Im the dude is the headl
And now on bbc news, thursday in parliament. Hello and welcome to thursday in parliament. Coming up as the conservative leadership candidates contemplate leaving the eu without a deal, mps condemn the idea. Nothing short of that an act of economic vandalism. But the brexit secretary stands firm. I think no brexit is worse than no deal. Also in the Program Peers demand action on knife crime. If we dont do something about this those families, those young people will continue to pay for our inaction. The government has ruled out extending the brexit deadline beyond the 31st october. And the brexit secretary told the commons that leaving the eu without a deal would be better than staying in it. The issue of a no deal brexit has been reignited by comments from the conservative leadership candidates. Jeremy hunt has said that if we get to october without the prospect of a deal, we will leave without a deal. Borisjohnson has also repeated his pledge to get out of the eu on 31st october, but h
Now on bbc, thursday in parliament. Hello, and welcome to thursday in parliament, where the government says it will appeal against a court ruling on arms sales to saudi arabia. Labour says the government didnt check properly whether saudi led forces were ta rgetting civilians in yemen. That the government has failed to carry out such assessments is a matter i think of national shame. Mps condemn the delay in bringing in a scheme designed to stop under 18s viewing pornographic websites. Does not inspire confidence, which is externally serious, given that this is a matter about protecting children from harmful content. Also on this programme peers attempt to find out whats behind a recent increase in thefts of catalytic converters from cars. And an mp reckons theres no need to walk by ahead of brexit. Will my honourable friend confirm that my constituents in litchfield do not need to stock up with tins of spam or apricots in syrup . But first, the court of appeal has ordered the governme

[spits] theres nothing for him to swing in between here. He needs an urban environment. Thats why superman is the greatest superhero. Hes allterrain. Superman . [laughs] hes the worst superhero. Excuse me . Superman is boring. Hes invulnerable. Thats why they invented kryptonite, so he has some kind of weakness. Batman, hes the best superhero, because, well, hes just a guy like me or you. He doesnt have any superpowers. Hes not superhuman. He has a cape and a mask and archenemies. Hes a superhero, no question. Youre not listening, chuck. Batman does not possess superpowers. Therefore hes not super. Youve lost your mind. Batman is a master of martial arts. Hes a detective, hes an inventor. And given that super only means greater than normal, by that definition, batman can only be described as a superher
