Arise and lose the guy ropes there are at least 50 tory mps of negativity with better infrastructure, more police and fantastic full fibre broadband who will not support no deal. Sprouting in every household. The announcement of the new conservative leader was made here but the real this is one minister who will not challenges begin tomorrow when he moves just around the corner serve under Boris Johnson. Into downing street. Borisjohnson has said he will take us off the hamster wheel of doom, as he calls it, and get britain out of the European Union by the end of october. There is a clear majority if he doesnt do that his time in downing street may in the house of commons that doesnt want to leave the eu without a deal. Be limited, if he does that will become very but without a deal he clear in the autumn. There may well be ways will be facing notjust in which parliament finds an ability the opposition but the unofficial to make it clear that that is binding upon opposition, senior members the new Prime Minister. Of theresa mays government who are prepared to rebel against him. The Education Minister resigned today. She was concerned britain could leave the eu with no deal. I wish the new Prime Minister well in his negotiations with the eu but i have always had grave concerns about leaving the eu there are at least 50 tory mps who without a deal in place. Will not support no deal. This is one prominent Boris Johnson supporter is looking down on those who choose to criticise him. One minister who will not serve there is no scope for under Boris Johnson. There is a Self Indulgence and individual mps expressing their views. For the conservative party to deliver for our country we have to unite, come together. Clear majority in the house of commons that doesnt want to leave Boris Johnsons opponent admitted the eu without a deal. That will become very clear in the autumn. He was disappointed but called for unity, and this was his there may well be ways in which diagnosis for his failure to win. Parliament finds an ability to make this was always going to be uphill it clear that that is binding upon for us because i was someone who voted remain. The new Prime Minister. The we have a Prime Minister Education Minister resigned today. Who voted remain and a lot she was concerned britain could leave the eu with no deal. |j of conservative Party Members felt this was a moment when you had to have someone who voted for brexit she was concerned britain could leave the eu with no deal. I wish the new Prime Minister well in his in the referendum and that was, in retrospect, a hurdle negotiations with the eu but i have a lwa ys negotiations with the eu but i have always had grave concerns about we were never able to overcome. The future is uncertain for larry leaving the eu without a deal in the downing street cat and for the country. Place. One prominent Boris Johnson the new Prime Minister has is brother looking down on those who a wafer thin majority. Borisjohnson moves in here choose to criticise him. There is no tomorrow, but it is not clear how long his tenure will last. Scope for Self Indulgence and individual mps expressing their views. For the conservative party to deliver for our country we have to unite, come together. Boris our chief Political Correspondent vicki young is at conservative hq. Johnsons opponent admitted he was disappointed but called for unity and this was his diagnosis for his borisjohnson has failure to win. This was always Boris Johnson has been borisjohnson has been there. It he still there . Yes, he is still here. Going to be uphill for us because i was someone going to be uphill for us because i was someone who voted remain. We we were told he would be here for a have a Prime Minister who voted remain and a lot of conservative couple of hours. Due to address Party Members felt this was a moment conservative backbenchers that are when you had to have someone who infor pm conservative backbenchers that are voted for brexit in the referendum in for pm and the house of commons. He is presumably talking to staff at hq and working on assembling his new and that was, in retrospect, a hurdle we were never able to cabinet, his top team. We understand overcome. The future is uncertain that he has already appointed mark for larry the downing street cat and spencer as his chief whip. The whips for larry the downing street cat and for the country. The new prime are in charge of Party Discipline minister has a wafer thin majority. And make sure mps voting the way borisjohnson they are supposed to and support the minister has a wafer thin majority. Boris johnson listen minister has a wafer thin majority. Borisjohnson listen here tomorrow but it is not clear how long his government when they are supposed to tenure will last. And of course a very difficultjob when there is really no majority for the conservatives in the house of commons because it is a hung parliament. It is going to be a very we can cross the conservative Party Difficult task. Mark spencer has spent time in the whips office headquarters. Boris johnson hasjust before the appointment was made arrived. We are told he is going to spend at least a couple of hours public. Conservative mps said he was here. He will be speaking to staff popular with mps which always helps. And working on the reshuffle, who is a lot of chat about what kind of going to be on his top team. He has Prime Minister Boris Johnson a lot of chat about what kind of Prime Minister borisjohnson is had quite a lot of time to think going to be. His friends have talked about his time as mayor of london. A about this at the weekend. Most of lot of them making the comparison his team are pretty confident he was with Ronald Reagan saying he has a going to win but it will be figurehead, he sets the tone and he interesting to see how he puts in makes the decisions but gets around key positions. Interesting to see ten people who can make things what happens to jeremy happen behind much of the template key positions. Interesting to see what happens tojeremy hunt who is currently foreign secretary. He will that they are talking about. They be the chancellor . Sajid javid could will say that is what borisjohnson did as mayor of london but his ta ke be the chancellor . Sajid javid could take that role. How many women will critics will point out it is be in senior positions . Will it be different being Prime Minister and it isa more diverse than in the past . All different being Prime Minister and it is a very different prospect. His critics look at his time as foreign of those questions for borisjohnson secretary and the some of the gaffes to deal with not least because the had very dire consequences and it deadline of leaving the eu, the end of october, october the 31st, there was not a success and natural. The is not much time if he wants to critics will say that he is not renegotiate a deal or get some kind of no deal which most likely will really u p critics will say that he is not really up to the job. He has spent look like the deal that theresa may the last few days with his close people putting together his new already has. If not he has said he government team. What sort of will leave the eu without a deal at cabinet are we expecting . Is this the end of october and that is where going to be an inclusive cabinet the end of october and that is where the controversy were taken because that might include remainers or will there are so many in the tory party it be pure brexiteers . Will he give and parliament that will not accept it is government policy, which is jeremy hunt a job . Who will be the why people like Philip Hammond have chancellor . Lots of questions. No said they will resign, they have said they will resign, they have said they will resign, they have said they cannot serve under boris one knows the answers. The problem johnson for that reason. He wants to is there may had what she had a balance cabinet in terms of those try to notjust johnson for that reason. He wants to try to not just talk about brexit. Who were for remain and those who it is going to be hard to get away work for brexit. Boris johnson from that issue but he has talked who were for remain and those who work for brexit. Borisjohnson has to make a decision about whether he about education, better funding for has people who are willing to go along with what he wants which is education, having more police, that he is prepared to leave at the broadband infrastructure projects, all of those things that he wants to end of october without a deal. With try to get on the front foot but it people like amber rudd, who seems to have changed her mind on that, is the issue of brexit that will dominate for the next few months. Whether they be included . Have changed her mind on that, whether they be included . She is one thank you. Of the few senior female mps, with me now is political cabinet ministers, it has been in commentator iain dale. Senior roles, and i am sure he would you chaired ten of the hustings and wa nt to senior roles, and i am sure he would want to reflect that kind of diversity. Others seeing the its leadership contest. Did it go as diversity. Others seeing the diversity might come from people you were expecting . Roughly. I thought it might be tighter because from ethnic backgrounds, sajid a lot of people gravitated towards jeremy hunt but this is an emphatic javid, for example, but they would victory for Boris Johnson. No have to sign up to borisjohnsons jeremy hunt but this is an emphatic victory for borisjohnson. No one can say two thirds of the vote is vision and the possibility he would leave without a deal, and for some anything but emphatic. What did you of them that is going to be too think of his campaign . It started much. Philip hammond says he will off not well with the questions about the rise and you questioned resign as well as other ministers. That is the big question for boris him about that, but that he managed johnson in the coming days. To escape the banana skins . He did with me now is the shadow because a week after that nobody was transport secretary, labours andy mcdonald. Talking about it, which was interesting to say the least. His Campaign Management see their borisjohnson is saying he is the strategy was vindicated. They kept and wrapped up in cotton over the man who can defeatJeremy Corbyn in parliamentary stages. He hardly did an election when it comes. It could be soon. Do you fear borisjohnson any interviews. They will say we won as the Tory Party Leader . be soon. Do you fear borisjohnson as the Tory Party Leader . I fear him as the Tory Party Leader . I fear him so any interviews. They will say we won asa as the Tory Party Leader . I fear him as a Prime Minister. I think he is so that vindicates the strategy. I think you are going to see a different borisjohnson. Dangerous, reckless, incompetent, and he can be trusted, and his first think you are going to see a different Boris Johnson. You think you are going to see a different borisjohnson. You are going to see him out and about far more than any recent Prime Minister, instincts are to deliver a tax cut for the richest in our society. He a bit like tony blair, he will be everywhere, and i do not think he doesnt give a care about people in will hunker down like gordon brown my constituency. This isjust 01 doesnt give a care about people in my constituency. This is just a tory party elite game. I think this is a will hunker down like gordon brown or theresa may. Also in terms of what he said because he kept saying sense of entitlement. Less than the rhetoric was strong, do or die 100,000 people have put the next we are getting out of the ego. Does
