We haven t seen any sort of behavior like this from a prime minister in living moerm really. the only sort of comparable situ situation. with theresa may, when they said time is up, she resigned. this is a very different prime minister. i ll just answer the question that i ve been asked which is repeatedly i have to say across social media, why can t the queen just fire him. yes in theory she can, but she is there in a ceremonial role, she can t get involved in politics. she only takes direction on the advice of ministers. so unless the cabinet can get together and go to the queen and ask her do this, i don t think that she will do anything in her own right. nada, do you think there is any chance that the cabinet momentum, all eyes on the cabinet really because all the power is with them until the 1922 committee make up their minds on what they are going to do do you think the cabinet ....
The first to kind of issue the bombshell resignation along side the health secretary within minutes of each other. the health secretary gave a statement yesterday. so there will of course a lot of debate on that over the coming weeks. and a lot of division still within the party when it comes to what direction they go next. of course what effectively will happen when boris johnson announces his resignation, that sparks a leadership contest, we don t know whether or not he will decide to run in that contest. we just can t predict anything that boris johnson does because he s always broken the rules and that is really how he got into power, wasn t it. he broke the rules on brexit, he went against david cameron who was the prime minister at the time, head to head against he is a disrupter, he is someone that many people in the public enjoyed seeing in politics ....
We ve said about whether he can continue in post another three months. the prime minister has an awful lot of power. boris johnson is known to exercise that power and also in unconventional ways. i think that there would be quite a few cabinet ministers and members of the conservative party who would be anxious about what he could or would do during those two or three honesties. he will be thinking about all the money that he can make on the election circuit and all the books that he could write. and there would be a big audience for any book that talks about the incredible events of the last week or so. yeah, when we compare him to theresa may, he won t take that route, is he, hit the back benches and try to continue work from behind the scenes. this is someone that i think we re all assuming that he will actually leave politics and take a media came career, right? ....
See is some sense of vision, some sense of confidence and obviously after what many people regard the johnson era which is now coming toward an end, some sense of responsibility and focus. tha nina, thank you. and i m joined now by lord hayward. can i ask you on nina s point, who are the runners and riders to replace boris johnson? it is not clear, is it? it is not clear. it is a strikingly broad field. there are those preparing their ground because politics is the way it is. and everybody thinks, well, i might be the next, but a lot of people do. but it is a very broad field. s sue ella through her hat into ....
To, to say, look, this is going to be my legacy, i ll try to hand it on to someone else. but i think that he is not going under you know, he is not leaving happily or certainly circumstances of his choosing or in ones that he believes that he merits to be removed. nina, let s come to you on that legacy. you ve covered british politics and also european politics. there is no doubt that he has a place in history simply because he was the front of that brexit campaign which has had a profound effect on the whole continent. reporter: that s right. and people across the continent have very much looked at boris johnson and on some occasions rolled their eyes particularly when it comes to reneging on various agreements that the government appeared to draft, sign in ink and then essentially shred and tear up. i m thinking of the northern ireland protocol. and that issue is one that his ....
