i would suggest, more for sunak, who's more difficult for sunak, who's already in a very tight corner. we were, of course, just speaking with liam halligan economics and business editor who was talking about the seismic impact of economics and how so politics is downstream from economics. it's the economic conditions, things that then lead people to view other issues as in your view, darren mccaffrey does the economics situation or the sort of political scandals situation. which of these two will loom largest over rishi sunak in the hundred ? next well, i think in hundred? next well, i think in many regards what's going to decide the next election if you want, in those terms, you know, coming to that old bill clinton adage , is the economy stupid in adage, is the economy stupid in the sense that labour are going to pose the question, do you feel better off at that particular time than you did 30 and 14 years ago? and for a lot of people right now, at the moment, the answer to that question is most definite. no have the government got the space to turn things around in the year 18 mont

rishi sunak in his own a lot. rishi sunak in his own words, is committed to passing new laws to stop the small boats. those laws have now been laid before parliament. does that mean that the government's ruled out leaving the european convention on human rights in order to try and tackle this vexed problem. well, i think that there are legitimate questions is that we need to start relating to our of the european convention human rights and its operation in the united kingdom. we've seen there's a politicised and expansionist court in strasbourg that regulates the convention and sometimes at odds british values whether it's our ability to remove people to rwanda as we saw last year it's operation combined with the isa charter and the court have operated to stymie policymaking. you might you make a strong legal case with respect home secretary but the optics of leaving the isa are are difficult. you've got the stomach to leave it clearly . has the prime minister at this stage nothing is ruled out.7 we need to ensure

let's look at the detail in the coming days but all credit to rishi sunak if he does that. a deal with the eu might ease some of the economic pressures on businesses and communities in northern ireland but it won't necessarily solve the prime minister's political problems. iain watson, bbc news. iain is with me now. it is very complex, we have a global audience with us. in terms of the key reaction to any potential deal, we are looking at the dup in northern ireland. why is that? quite siml the northern ireland. why is that? quite simply they are _ northern ireland. why is that? quite simply they are the _ northern ireland. why is that? qt ta: simply they are the largest unionist party in northern ireland and the most sceptical about the deal reached with the eu initially which puts, as they would see it, a border in the irish sea, goods being checked. it looks like that'll be eased but that's not necessarily going to be enough to win over. the cause of the scepticism they will go through any deal with a fine tooth comb and will not give a thumbs up toa comb and will not gi

and that's rishi sunak is and that's what rishi sunak is doing. yeah, absolutely . you doing. but yeah, absolutely. you know, whole appeal of the know, the whole appeal of the phrase get brexit done is that not everyone wants be fixated not everyone wants to be fixated on whole point of on this, but the whole point of brexit supposed to be that brexit was supposed to be that it allow governments it would allow governments to focus people's domestic focus more on people's domestic priorities and seeing people once again going back to this trough. it could well alienate people the government wishes sunak will need to sell this . sunak will need to sell this. and i suppose this is what today is all about. it's overwhelmingly likely that everything about this deal has already been agreed. ursula der leyen isn't coming over with sort of a big ballpoint pen , sort of a big ballpoint pen, sort of a big ballpoint pen, sort of a big ballpoint pen, sort of make textual changes . sort of make textual changes. that's not how negotiations the prime ministers or presidents don't do that . d

it feels like classic rishi sunak to me, a - classic rishi sunak to me, a seasoned operator as conservative chairman, a safe pair of hands, if you excuse the pun is, just few months before what looked to be tricky at local elections for the conservatives. and we have a lot of rewiring of how government works. the prime minister is trying to tell us about his big strategic priorities. energy security, trying to make the uk more energy self—sufficient after spikes in prices and the war in ukraine we have seen recently. science and technology, two things mr sunak has talked about for a long time as key economic priorities for him. both of those things will really matter but they are medium—term plans for this government and for the last few weeks there have been a lot of conservative aunties that are nervous, there not a political direction to this government right now, verse eight is perhaps not as cut—throat as some previous ones might have been —— there have been a lot of conservative mps that are nervous. . ~' lot of conservative mps that are nervous. ., ~ , ., a lot of conservat

but for rishi sunak, there are still big political hurdles to clear. ben wright, bbc news. queues are building in france, as people returning from half—term break are hit by the impact of border staff strikes, with reported ferry boarding times on the french side in excess of six hours. our money and work reporter peter ruddick gave me an update earlier. so what we know is that there are massive queues at calais, mainly of coaches trying to get back from these big half ten trips to the uk. it is actually one of the busiest days of the yearfor one of the busiest days of the year for schools returning from quite often ski trips actually during half—term. so we've seen pictures of incredible queues just outside calais and as you were saying, p&0 have been tweeting warning people that is six and a half hour wait at calais for coaches at the moment. now, these queues, these pictures here were taken by a teacher who has actually just message to say they have finally got through passport control, they are waiting for the next ferry, they hope to be on board within the next 30

he sunak was keen to talk about yesterday. he did that sunak was keen to talk about yesterday . he did that press yesterday. he did that press conference in windsor and indeed later in parliament. that means that if a third of the mlas stormont, so that's 30 of the 90 members of the assembly if they object to an eu law that's down the line that might take hold in northern ireland. they can tell the uk government that they object it and those mlas have to be from two different parties. so that basically stops the dup. should they have? that number having their own veto then the uk government can technically veto whatever comes from brussels . it really throws the brussels. it really throws the ball back in the dpp's court because of course getting trade work in again in northern ireland between northern ireland, gb that was one part of the deal . the other is resurrect the deal. the other is resurrect in the stormont assembly of course, with the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement up in april. agreement coming up in april. it's real momentous it's it's a real momentous

>> it seems like rishi sunak has done the impossible. it will all hinge on the unionists in northern ireland. rishi sunak claims his windsor framework fundamentally rewrites the northern ireland protocol. for example, by allowing london rather than brussels to set vat rates in northern ireland. that is the thing brussels had said previously could not be done. it also reduces the red tape on goods flowing between great britain and northern ireland by establishing a green and red lane. the green lane being for goods only going to the region, red for goods that are going to go on to the european union. sunak's rabbit out of the hat moment yesterday was the so-called stormont brake, which gives the northern ireland assembly the power to delay and potentially stop new eu laws coming into application in northern ireland. it was always going to be the case that the european court of justice remains the ultimate arbiter on the application of eu laws. and the deal only reduces rather than removes fully the number of eu laws that take effect in no

perhaps sunak and perhaps we rishi sunak and there's i also make there's trust. i would also make there's trust. i would also make the point that i think that the reason having this reason why we're having this discussion truss is discussion about liz truss is because gap which because there's a gap which is just telling. but james, because there's a gap which is just notlling. but james, because there's a gap which is just not about3ut james, because there's a gap which is just not about3ut jamerthis this is not about balance. this is philosophy and it is is about philosophy and it is the conservative policy, a high tax , high spend , a big state tax, high spend, a big state policy , or should it move in the policy, or should it move in the opposite direction ? there's no opposite direction? there's no compromise that that is the party debate, which has been playing out since 2019, where, frankly, are the red wall constituencies, where the ps want to have more public spending in their seats and those traditional low taxes in their as well? i their southern areas
