Im delighted to join im delighted Tojoin President biden and prime Minister Morrison to announce that the united kingdom, australia and the united states are creating a new trilateral Defence Partnership known as aukus, with the aim of Working Hand In Glove to preserve security and stability. We are opening a new chapter in our friendship, the first task will be to help australia acquire a fleet of nuclear powered submarines, emphasising of course that the submarines in question will be powered by nuclear reactors, not armed with nuclear weapons, and our work will be fully in line with our nonproliferation publication.

It will draw on the expertise that the uk has acquired over generations dating Back to the launch of the royal navys first submarine over 60 years ago. Together with the other opportunities from aukus, creating hundreds of highly skilled jobs across the united kingdom, including in scotland, the north of england and the mid lives, taking forward this Governments Professor of Leavening Up purpose of.

Reflecting the measure of trust between us. The depth of our Friendship And Strength of our shared values of freedom and democracy. 0nly of our shared values of freedom and democracy. Only a handful of countries possess nuclear powered submarines, and it is a momentous decision for any nation to acquire this formidable capability, and perhaps equally momentous for any other state to come to its aid. But australia is one of our oldest friends. A Kindred Nation and a fellow democracy and a natural partner in this enterprise. Now, the uk will embark on this project alongside our allies, making the world safer and generating jobs across our united kingdom. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me is Broadcaster Penny Smith and former conservative adviser mo hussein. Hello to you both. Thank you for joining us. These wielded the knife with all the precision of a surgeon. The papers have all the gory details. It leads with borisjohnson� s sweeping Cabinet Reshuffle which saw a string of ministers fired, and new faces promoted. The ft says the Cabinet Reshuffle is an attempt by the prime minister to revive his reform agenda, and improve the uks standing on the world stage. The telegraph says the reshuffle was more extensive than expected, with numerous tory heavyweights demoted. The I Newspaper reports Dominic Raab refused to accept his move to the justice department, until borisjohnson offered him the title of Deputy Pm as well. And, a different story in the mirror. It leads on rising Sea Levels and the damage being done by global warming. Lets have a look at some of those front pages. Penny, the i, Johnson Sax blundering cabinet allies. I spoke to one former Special Adviser to david Camerons Government who said there was a lot of dead wood hanging around that needed to be talked out. You know what . It is so difficult. You know what . It is so difficult. You can look at it on the political front, and these people make massive decisions which affect everybody. Look at whats happened in education, with U Turns. Look at Dominic Raab being on holiday whilst the taliban went into kabul. You can look at what theyve done and say, of course they got to go. But on the other side, when i was looking at people going in and coming out again and i was thinking, if it was me, lets face it, its not going to happen but i wasjust thinking nobody goes into a job just thinking, you know, illjust do this and that and try to make a muck of it. Surely everyone is trying to do the best they can. The fact is sometimes, we try to do the best we can and we are perhaps not terribly suited for it. Sometimes its about being decisive. I do think in this country, when ijust said about U Turns and making U Turns, arent we allowed as a look at something that weve said and something we said we would do, and then say i think thats actually, maybe i shouldnt have done that. I actually on a personal level, i do feel sorry for people who are such high profile losers of theirjobs. For people who are such highprofile losers of theirjobs. Losers of their obs. Yeah, i get that, and losers of their obs. Yeah, i get that. And m losers of theirjobs. Yeah, i get that, and im sure losers of theirjobs. Yeah, i get that, and im sure You Losers of theirjobs. Yeah, i get that, and im sure you do losers of theirjobs. Yeah, i get that, and im sure you do as. Losers of theirjobs. Yeah, i get i that, and im sure you do as well, mo. But with some of these people, they might be considered serial offenders when it comes to getting things wrong. Mr williamson, offenders when it comes to getting things wrong. Mrwilliamson, mr raab. I things wrong. Mr williamson, mr raab. ~. , things wrong. Mr williamson, mr raab. ~. ,. ,. , raab. I think that is a very fair oint. I raab. I think that is a very fair point. I think raab. I think that is a very fair point. I think the raab. I think that is a very fair point. I think the truth raab. I think that is a very fair point. I think the truth is raab. I think that is a very fair point. I think the truth is that| point. I think the truth is that some of point. I think the truth is that some of these people were quite low energy. Some of these people were quite low energy, lacking in ideas and lacking in real energy, lacking in ideas and lacking in real ability to get to grips with their in real ability to get to grips with their department. The education department, the former secretary of state, department, the former secretary of state, was department, the former secretary of state, was i think a weakling when you look state, was i think a weakling when you look at state, was i think a weakling when you look at the fiasco last year, if you look at the fiasco last year, if you look you look at the fiasco last year, if you look at you look at the fiasco last year, if you look at repeated government getting you look at repeated government getting it you look at repeated government getting it wrong. Having the provision. There were lots and lots provision. There were lots and lots of provision. There were lots and lots of different things. If they are repeated errors, and such a Big Highprofile are repeated errors, and such a Big High profile job, things have to Chango High profile job, things have to Chango I High profile job, things have to change. I think the prime minister is in a change. I think the prime minister is in a position of confidence, and what is in a position of confidence, and what he is in a position of confidence, and what he is is in a position of confidence, and what he is trying to do is move on Back what he is trying to do is move on Back to his what he is trying to do is move on Back to his reforming domestic agenda, Back to his reforming domestic agenda, looking at the challenge and issues agenda, looking at the challenge and issues that agenda, looking at the challenge and issues that are coming in front of us, rather issues that are coming in front of us, ratherthan issues that are coming in front of us, rather than having the people who blundered through the pandemic or perhaps who blundered through the pandemic or perhaps our best popular with the party or perhaps our best popular with the Party Base i wonder, penny, iwonder, penny, mo i wonder, penny, mo is talking about the prime minister asking from a position of strength, but some could argue its a position of weakness in that afghanistan did not go so well. The handling of the pandemic has been a bit of a mess, and the whole idea of the leveling up agenda, following the rise in national income tax, is something that has upset a lot of those Red Wall Voters who decided they would vote blue last time around. Is the prime minister really on the Back foot of this widescale shuffle . Is there proof . This widescale shuffle . Is there roof . ~ � , proof . Well, im sure there will be. T in to proof . Well, im sure there will be. Trying to decide proof . Well, im sure there will be. Trying to decide whether proof . Well, im sure there will be. Trying to decide whether indeed proof . Well, im sure there will be. | trying to decide whether indeed that is the case. As mo said, The Point is the case. As mo said, The Point is if you are. Why keep you in cabinet anyway . This Isnt Gavin williamsons first go in the cabinet. You could argue they should have gone before. I suppose when i was looking through, and thinking whats the link here . Are these people really brilliant, and i was thinking what we do know, for example if you look at 19 doris, what shes been is a Big Fan Of Borisjohnson for a long time. So, we could look through their and go, what hes doing is a saying he wants a few more mates around. Michael gove, thats another surprise of us this is a man who was saying didnt Stab Borisjohnson in the Back, he stabbed him in the front. Stab Boris Johnson in the Back, he stabbed him in the front. Reshuffle kerfuffle, time stabbed him in the front. Reshuffle kerfuffle, time to stabbed him in the front. Reshuffle kerfuffle, time to go stabbed him in the front. Reshuffle kerfuffle, time to go away stabbed him in the front. Reshuffle kerfuffle, time to go away and stabbed him in the front. Reshufflej kerfuffle, time to go away and shut up. What are they referring to here . Well, i think theyre referring to the first well, i think theyre referring to the first comment, Gavin Williamson, when the first comment, Gavin Williamson, when we the first comment, Gavin Williamson, when we had the novichok poisoning a few years when we had the novichok poisoning a few years ago, told the russians to id few years ago, told the russians to go away few years ago, told the russians to go away and shut up. When he was a defence go away and shut up. When he was a defence secretary, which was quite ill defence secretary, which was quite iii advised defence secretary, which was quite ill advised and did not make sense to n1any ill advised and did not make sense to many people who are in government, including myself. This is about government, including myself. This is about Dominic Raab being on holiday is about Dominic Raab being on holiday when the taliban overran afghanistan. So, pointing Back to the idea afghanistan. So, pointing Back to the idea of afghanistan. So, pointing Back to the idea of are these the right people . The idea of are these the right people . Are these the people we want in these people . Are these the people we want in these jobs . I think the other point in these jobs . I think the other point to in these jobs . I think the other point to remember is the last Reshuffle Point to remember is the last reshuffle happened about 18 months ao, reshuffle happened about 18 months ago, pre pandemic. We were talking a little more ago, pre pandemic. We were talking a little more about brexit and leaving the eli little more about brexit and leaving the eli a little more about brexit and leaving the eu. A lot of things have changed since the eu. A lot of things have changed since then, the eu. A lot of things have changed since then, so i think what the prime minister is trying to do is assemble prime minister is trying to do is assemble a team that could deal with the recovery from the pandemic and bring the recovery from the pandemic and bring it the recovery from the pandemic and bring it Back to the big reform. If you took bring it Back to the big reform. If you took at bring it Back to the big reform. If you look at the department for education, planning, housing or justice. Education, planning, housing or justice, these are quite big Reform Departments for the government. They wanted departments for the government. They wanted to departments for the government. They wanted to change things, they want to have wanted to change things, they want to have some of the bigger arguments and biggest reforms in these areas. They need and biggest reforms in these areas. They need people who can do that. They need people who can do that. The peopie they need people who can do that. The people who are in this before have not the people who are in this before have not been able to get these things have not been able to get these things in have not been able to get these things in the way that the prime minister perhaps wants them to. So, hes looking minister perhaps wants them to. So, hes looking for a new cast to take this forward. Hes looking for a new cast to take this forward this forward. Penny, hes looking for a new cast. This forward. Penny, hes looking for a new cast. Its this forward. Penny, hes looking for a new cast. Its been this forward. Penny, hes looking l for a new cast. Its been suggested hes looking away from a Covid Cabinet to a leveling up cabinet. Going Back to the first point you made, these people in thesejobs who have now lost these jobs, they were operating in the middle of the worst pandemic in 100 years. We should have some sympathy, perhaps . This pandemic in 100 years. We should have some sympathy, perhaps . first have some sympathy, perhaps . As I Sa , asi have some sympathy, perhaps . As I Say. As i started have some sympathy, perhaps . Is I Say, as i started off, away from being a politician, you can look at what theyve done. They were trying to do the best that they could, and we were now remember i think it was in march this year when Gavin Williamson was having a chat with Head Teachers and talking about how Head Teachers and talking about how he had been getting through in this high profilejob. He said leadership sometimes is incredibly challenging. I think he was acknowledging it was challenging for everybody, and he said it was a very lonely experience and that it was helpful that he had and that it was helpful that he had a really supportive family and he got a puppy. Presumably now a fully trained dog. 0ne got a puppy. Presumably now a fully trained dog. One can hope Gavin Williamson is the one whos actually. Until he got Deputy Prime Minister with all his others. Those are quite important portfolios. Those are quite important portfolios those are quite important portfolios.

Going Back to The Point you made, mo, Michael Gove, housing, communities, local government, a critical portfolio, although it is at Entry Level in terms of seniority. Michael gove, one of the biggest beasts in thejohnson government, yet hes been given this portfolio. Why . Government, yet hes been given this portfolio why . Portfolio. Why .

The Planning Reforms that the government has been trying to get through government has been trying to get through have not really worked. A lot of through have not really worked. A lot of opposition from conservative Backbenchers to them. The country does Backbenchers to them. The country does need Backbenchers to them. The country does need to build more houses, so Michael Gove is somebody who was given Michael Gove is somebody who was given a Michael Gove is somebody who was given a irig Michael Gove is somebody who was given a big problem and told to go away given a big problem and told to go away and given a big problem and told to go away and try and deal with it.
