this is not just phillip hammond and thwart no—deal brexit. this is notjust phillip hammond but david gauke as well. david gauke. some big political beast will make life difficult for boris johnson, for we assume he will be the next tory leader, by being a force for a real dashjust objecting to leader, by being a force for a real dash just objecting to everything he does from the backbenches to make sure there is a no no—deal brexit. he is going to resign to mrs may before she goes to the palace. this seems like a well laid plan. that is oi'i seems like a well laid plan. that is on the part of the outgoing chancellor to make things as possible for boris johnson. i would said that philip hammond would be considerable opposition, because this is a man who knows everything about the economy and will be able to deliver some extraordinary objections to whatever boris johnson proposes. parliament or the commons have voted against no deal already, and all those other boats that we had earlier in the year. there will be quite a few people who will l

news over the weekend, chancellor phillip hammond announce head will resign from government on wednesday if boris johnson becomes the next prime minister in an interview with the bbc hammond said his stance at a brexit deal was at odds for boris johnson. he said the uk must leave the eu by october 31st, do or die speaking to cnbc last week, hammond revealed his plans to step away from the cabinet. >> i will not continue in this role under the new government, but i will continue to take a close interest in brexit and the way it's managed and in the uk's international trade and commercial affairs generally, and i will continue to be a member of parliament the new government -- the new prime minister will have a majority of two or three in parliament i'll be one of them. a lot of power rests in parliament going forward. >> now, willem is at downing street it's interesting those comments out of the chancellor saying he will resign this week and he certainly has the potential to be quite disruptive as a back bencher given the working majority stands at three could possibly be reduced to two i

that's what the chancellor, phillip hammond, has said in a new edition of bbc panorama. with just days left before he's expected to leave the treasury, the chancellor has said the eu will control most of the process if the uk leaves without a deal later this year. we're joined now by political correspondent helena wilkinson, who's here to tell us more. i guess the reason we are saying that he is expected to leave the treasury is because whichever of the contenders takes the top job as pm, they may want their own man in at numberii. they may want their own man in at number 11. but philip hammond is not going without a parting shot. know, and this is part of a special panorama programme looking at what went wrong in the brexit negotiations. as you say, he is soon likely to step down from his job, making it very clear he couldn't serve under a pm who wants to go for ano serve under a pm who wants to go for a no deal brexit. but in making these comments he made comments about the future of what an ideal scenario could look like, and he has said there is no way the uk would c

the chancellor phillip hammond has said he'll resign if borisjohnson becomes the next prime minister this week. speaking on the andrew marr show, mr hammond said he couldn't accept a no—deal brexit and he'd step down after prime minister's questions on wednesday before theresa may goes for an audience with the queen to formally resign. also speaking on the programme, ireland's foreign minister warned that ‘we are all in trouble‘ if the new prime minister abandons the brexit withdrawal agrement — saying a no— deal brexit would be a british choice — not an eu one. our political correspondent, nick eardley is here... it is not surprising with observers at westminster that philip hammond will possibly resign. there are some brexiteers who will say he is jumping before he is pushed, but it isa sign jumping before he is pushed, but it is a sign of where our politics is. the chancellor, one of the top ministers in the current government, is attempting —— prepared to go on television to say that if the favourite, borisjohnson is elected three days before, then he will stand d

that kind of message wasn't just delivered in the sunday newspapers for the likes of phillip hammond, also the justice secretary and other key members of the cabinet have said they are not willing to serve under a boris johnson premiership. theresa may will be hosting her last cabinet meeting in office later on today. she's also got to deal with some emergency cobra meetings. these are the special meetings to deal with emergency security systems. that's vis-a-vis the standard tanker. boris johnson still emerging as the favorite. the polls and the ballots will be finished in terms of the ability of conservative party members to cast their ballots in about ten hours from now so later on today we'll know who will be entering upper 10 downing street. will it be boris johnson or jeremy hunt? >> nina, thank you for following this. >>> an anonymous tip-in a cold case investigation into what happened to a 15-year-old girl who disappeared at the vatican more than 30 years ago. investigators hunting for emmanue emmanuella. the tip led to a kricht in the bones. thousands of bone and bone fragmen

phillip hammond tweeted this morning, this £26 billion of headroom, it is not money down the back of a sofa, it is additional borrowing capacity that we have as a nation. it means that we have as a nation. it means that we have a room to borrow more within our existing fiscal targets. it is not some secret pot of cash that the chancellor has been keeping back. secondly, philip hammond making the point, that headroom is available to mitigate no deal, it would be entirely eaten up by no deal, which means that both men still have to a nswer means that both men still have to answer the question, where are you getting the money from? norman, thank you so much. and on that, we will talk to the institute for fiscal studies shortly about where that money might come from. now we will speak to the national federation of first men's organisation, and barry, we have been hearing about the potential beneficiaries of the fishing industry based on a promise from jeremy hunt. is not you would welcome? well, i think we -- is that something you would welcome? well, we have to always be aware of what p

the chancellor phillip hammond has said he'll resign if, as expected, boris johnson becomes the next prime minister this week. speaking on the andrew marr show, mr hammond said he couldn't accept a no—deal brexit and he'd campaign in parliament to prevent it. also speaking on the programme, ireland's foreign minister warned that ‘we are all in trouble‘ if the new prime minister abandons the brexit withdrawal agrement — saying a no—deal brexit would be a british choice — not an irish or an eu one. a little earlier i asked our political correspondent nick eardley if he was surprised by the chancellor's announcement. some brexiteers, who will say, he's before he is pushed, he'sjumping before he is pushed, but it is a sign of where our politics is that the chancellor, one of the top ministers the current government, is prepared to go on national television, three days before a new prime minister is due to take over, and say, if the favourite, borisjohnson, is elected, he is standing down. let's just have a listen to how he made that announcement on the andrew marr show. well,

we'll see phillip hammond, the chancellor, the finance minister in the u.k. and the justice secretary hit the air waives on the sunday meetings. he said that the country should come out of the e.u. by the latest deadline, by october 31st, do or die. they say that is economic suicide leaving the relationship that the u.k. has with its largest trading partner, the eu, without another game plan. either way though, with this ton of resistance from the back benches, from senior cabinet members today, what we may see is the question of not so much whether boris johnson be prime minister by this time tomorrow but how long will a boris johnson tenure hold? christine? >> wow, the plot thickens. thank you so much for that. nina dos santos in london this morning. >> wow. >>> meanwhile, irish eyes are smiling this morning after shane lowrie wins his first career major on home turf and did it in domination. anty scholls has that i the bleacher report. yo, jer! we gotta get to the show. ♪ i was looking for a sign. get on the bus. ♪ i need something to believe in. ♪ t

here's what the finance minister, phillip hammond, had to say on bbc on sunday. >> i'm sure i'm not going to be sacked because i'm going to resigned before we get to that point. >> really? >> i intend, assuming that boris johnson becomes the next prime minister, i understand that his conditions for serving in his government would include accepting a no-deal exit on the 31st of october. that is not something i could ever sign up to. it's very important that a prime minister is able to have a chancellor who is closely aligned with him in terms of policy, and i, therefore, indefend intend to resign to theresa may before she goes to the palace to tender her own resignation on thursday. >> the justice secretary has also said he will leave if johnson becomes the prime minister. >>> now to ukraine. it looks like that nation's president got a major victory in snap elections on sunday. exit polls show volodymyr zelenskiy's party winning more than 40% of the vote for parliament. that puts it well ahead of the pro-russian opposition platform. >> and this vote was seen as a referendum for the new pre

. >> with phillip hammond telling the bbc he intends to resign as chancellor if johnson becomes prime minister, also the finance minister promising to do the same, how does that affect johnson or hunt in this contest? >> well, it means that there are -- there is a large group of conservative mps, many of them currently ministers who will actually leave the government when boris johnson comes in, who are resolutely opposed to leaving the eu without a deal. and they will do everything they can to stop it. now, when i say everything they can, that includes bringing down a johnson government because you've got to remember that when boris johnson comes in to number 10, he will only have a majority of four seats in the house of commons, and that's with a minor party, the bup, supporting him. so that just means two conservative mps go over to the other side and he doesn't have a majority at all and he can be brought down, and i think that's the ultimate sanction that these people have against him that will prevent us leaving without a deal at the end of october. >> look, the former prime min

hammond over the weekend. one thing we have heard and this is from one defense minister who is in the current government a man i met on many occasions former officer actually in the army as well and he's saying it's implausible to see criticism over the fact that the british didn't protect all its ships. we do not have that kind of manpower we do not have that many ships available in that part of the world at the moment. we have one destroyer in the region plus four mine sweepers another british ship is due to get to the region imminently as well, but it is implausible to look after and protect every ship as well as what tobias elwood was saying. saying that in response to a former admiral making some criticism. the oil price on the back of this, i wanted to make a point, matt made the point about this choke point in the straits of hormuz, narrowist, only 21 miles wide and the point is, of course, that a huge amount of sea bourn shipping around a third of global sea bourn shipping goes through that very small

four cabinet ministers abstained from voting: the chancellor phillip hammond, thejustice secretary david gauke, the business secretary greg clark and the international development secretary, rory stewart. 17 conservatives voted against the government — including the junior minister margot james who has now resigned. it's being seen as a victory for parliament and a potential headache for boris johnson if he becomes the next prime minister he's refused to rule out proroguing or suspending parliament. and let's hear what margotjames had to say about her reasons for supporting the amendment. we did not yet know the result of the leadership and i am very keen and still hope jeremy the leadership and i am very keen and still hopejeremy hunt will win. iam and still hopejeremy hunt will win. i am backing him and and still hopejeremy hunt will win. iam backing him and had and still hopejeremy hunt will win. i am backing him and had done so all the time, and i remain hopeful but if he does not, then a boris has failed to rule out provoking parliament. he has issued very defiant noises about it

as long as inflation busting increases creates a political challenge for phillip hammond's success at number 11 downing st and also for theresa may's success at no 10. both leadership candidates have made lots of pledges about extra public spending. now, are they going to put their money where their mouth is? will they increase departmental budgets, for example, to pay for this extra cash, or are they going to make cuts elsewhere? that's the most immediate challenge facing them. but beyond that, labour are saying, in the private sector pay increases are running at above 3%, therefore to give public sector workers less than 3% at the moment, nonetheless, means many of them will still be struggling to get by. when you talk about the decisions that will have to be taken on where the money is spent, the price tag being put on this is £2 billion. that's right but we should be clear about this, this isn't going to cost the government £2 billion because, as far as government £2 billion because, as faras i'm aware, government £2 billion because, as far as i'm aware, departments are alread

that's what the chancellor, phillip hammond, has said in a new edition of bbc panorama. with just days left before he's expected to leave the treasury, the chancellor has said the eu will control most of the process if the uk leaves without a deal later this year. we're joined now by political correspondent, helena wilkinson, who's here to tell us more. as somebody who perhaps has had remained tendencies, people might say you would expectjeremy hunt to say you would expectjeremy hunt to say this. he has been very vocal in the run—up to the new pm, who was just days away from going into number ten, about his feelings about the impact of a no deal brexit, and the impact of a no deal brexit, and the chancellor himself is likely to step down once that new pm takes up their post. but these are comments that he has made in a panorama programme that is due to be forecast on thursday. and what he is saying is that despite planning for a no deal brexit, it will when it comes to would be out of the hands of the uk. some of the comments he made in this programme, which is due to

here's the chancellor phillip hammond. i greatly fear the impact on our economy and our public finances of the kind of no—deal brexit that is realistically being discussed now. the two men fighting to succeed theresa may — borisjohnson and jeremy hunt — accept it will be bumpy in the event of a no—deal brexit. but both candidates believe the uk will recover quickly. mr hunt warned that if the eu were not willing to compromise on britain's exit, and were seen to be forcing the uk into no deal, the relationship could be damaged for a generation. no deal for us would also be political, we would have european neighbours that had deliberately chosen to make the uk poorer. and that would change and harden british attitudes to europe for a generation. to discuss today's amendment let's speak now to hannah white, a constitutional expert from the institute for government, who joins us from westminster. can we do at the technical stuff first. does this definitive. boris johnson from suspending parliament? it does not. i thin

four cabinet ministers abstained from voting — the chancellor phillip hammond, thejustice secretary david gauke, the business secretary greg clark and the international development secretary, rory stewart. 17 conservatives voted against the government — including the junior minister margotjames, who has now resigned. it's being seen as a victory for parliament — and a potential headache for boris johnson if he becomes the next prime minister — he's refused to rule out proroguing parliament. the digital minister margot james supported the move, which means she's had to resign from the government. she explained her reasoning. we do not yet know the result of the leadership and i still hopejeremy hunt will win, i have always backed him. we remain hopeful. if he does not, borisjohnson him. we remain hopeful. if he does not, boris johnson has him. we remain hopeful. if he does not, borisjohnson has failed to rule out prorogue parliament and issued a very defined noises about deal or no deal, we are out on october the 31st and over the course of the campaign i've become increasingly alarm

the chancellor phillip hammond, thejustice secretary david gauke, the business secretary greg clark and the international development secretary, rory stewart. theresa may so she will not sack the abstainers. 17 conservatives voted against the government, has since resigned. it‘s being seen as a victory for parliament and a problem for whoever becomes the next prime minister, boris johnson orjeremy hunt. this is the moment in the commons that the goverment was defeated. the ayes to the right, 315. the noes to the left, 274. house: 0h! the ayes to the right, 315. the noes to the left, 274. so the ayes have it, the ayes have it. unlock. we can talk to our political correspondent nick eardley in the houses of parliament now. this is significant, isn‘t it? it is for a couple of reasons. the first is it makes the idea of packing this place up and sending mp5 home to force through brexit a lot less likely and a lot less attractive to the new prime minister. jeremy hunt said he would not do it and boris johnson doesn‘t want to do it but has left it on the table. today's vote m ea ns has l

our political correspondent jessica parker told us about phillip hammond's recent interviews. perhaps it could do scribe him as elizabeth demob happy as they hands towards the end of his chancellorship. the expecting eve ryo ne chancellorship. the expecting everyone is ship contest to keep mr hammond at number 11 to stop so, he has been speaking to a pensions paper and has been speaking to a pensions paperand a has been speaking to a pensions paper and a german newspaper. i understand this interview took place earlier this week, when he was impact. adjusting to pick out is when he was asked in the context of preventing a new deal brexit, mr hammond is very much an opponent of eight new deal brexit, whether he would rule out supporting government they made up of his own conservative party. what which the mechanism because mac of his own conservative party. what which the mechanism because matfi would be led by labour, if it was, say in the context, this is heavy speculative, but in order to prevent a new deal brexit if they do not find the other parliamentary mechanism, perhap

that's what the chancellor phillip hammond has said in a new edition of bbc panorama. with just days left before he's expected to leave the treasury, the chancellor has said the eu will control most of the process if the uk leaves without a deal later this year. we're joined now by political correspondent, helena wilkinson, who's here to tell us more. helena... this is the third time in the last four weeks or so that the chancellor has made a stark warning about a no—deal brexit. his time to leave could be coming up. politically motivated? some might think that it is, but this is all part of a programme, a special panorama programme, a special panorama programme called britain's brexit crisis looking at what went wrong with the brexit negotiations. this looks like a final warning to both tory candidate who want to be the next by minister and philip hammond has said in this programme is that he is talking about a no deal scenario. if the uk leaves the european union without a deal, he says that, despite all the planning that has gone on, it will be difficult for the u

the chancellor phillip hammond will do the same along with the justice secretary. seven mps defected. what does that mean for the conservative majority. stuart: if there is general election, the conservatives are out. i don't know who is in but in a general election they're finished. that i'm not so sure boris can get it done by october 31st. susan: he could form an alliance and coalition as you heard earlier on. stuart: with who? susan: we do have other members of parliament and other parties. stuart: not enough to create a majority. susan: how many majority posts have you seen. stuart: you have to go to a general election which boris johnson be conservatives have alliance with fellow thinkers, brexit tears. that would have being to win the general election and get them out of europe. that is a struggle. susan: three years from the brexit vote you say it is unlikely the uk will exit the european union? stuart: i think the mess is getting worse. it is becoming so that it is out of the question. susan: that's tough. stuart: we're up 70 points. that is 27,243, is whe
