and now even johnson & johnson. they're worth more than $450 billion and credit rating is higher than the u.s. government. bankruptcy is intend todaysy sis the honest, but unfortunate debtors seeking to reorganize. when the richers and most powerful corporations in the company are using the federal bankruptcy system to avoid paying the most vulnerable people in the country, something is wrong. the system needs to be fixed. the texas divisional merger law was never intended to be used this way. it explicitly was intend today preserve all rights and creditors under existing laws. out of state companies have misused that law to avert the federal bankruptcy system. this is just the beginning. the texas two step so far has used with tort victims, the same system can be and inevitably be used, working claim creditors, environmental creditors or others. the texas two-step is a free pass for a corporation to disrecord its obligation and the law at will and i believe that congress should act now to close this loophole. now y

that means 40% of johnson's colleagues chose not to back him. al jazeera's paul brennan reports from london. paul: a victory for the prime minister, but far from convincing. >> a vote of -- a vote in favor of boris johnson was 200 11 and against was 148 votes. therefore, i can announce that the parliamentary party does have the votes. [applause] paul: a raucous reaction from boris johnson supporters. but there is no disguising the in normandy of 148 mps who voted against their leader. >> it is a convincing result, a decisive result. what it means is that, as a government, we can move on and focus on the stuff that matters to people. paul: there has been feverish speculation about johnson's future, relegated somewhat by last week's national holiday in honor of the queen's platinum jubilee. but public bluing -- booing at the prime minister friday at a service for the queen was an ominous indicator. a rendon -- a random sample of london commuters confirms a degree of public disillusionment. >> it was a turning point for me, actually. paul: despite

johnson had promised johnson lost johnson had promised and he let that down as part of what the title of the book is all about johnson lost the congressional election, but in 1875 who was named senator of tennessee, they would know direct elections for senate then and served several months in office before dying in tennessee, and he dies not as the kind of hated person that he is generally now, but here's an image from courier in oz death of the honorable andrew johnson, which widely circulated at the time. i don't see any black people at bedside prime. i meanwhile, here's douglas circa 1880 five years after the death. i'm if douglas were alive today, and i'm moving now to my conclusion. i think he'd have much to say about what's going on in georgia, texas and elsewhere. it was states restricting voting rights, which he no doubt would say takes us back to the days of jim crow. but and this is the important but he also reminded us of american ideals and possibilities in one of douglas's most famous lake career speeches. he addressed the scourge of black lynchings in the country. everyt

boris johnson isn't going anywhere. more than 50 lawmakers now in his government have stepped down including several just in the last few hours. discontent over his leadership intensified of course last week with this latest scandal engulfing the government despite the mounting pressure the prime minister says that he will stay in power. this is the last we heard from him. >> frankly, mr. speaker, the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances when you've been handed a colossal mandate is to keep going and that is what i'm going to do. >> so close ally was also part of the cabinet grouping. how can boris johnson respond to him? he fired him. sources say michael gove has urged to accept that his time was up. and we've also learned that cabinet members went to downing street to ask johnson to resign. and that is what zawahi was talking about. and this is after difficult questions not just in the prime minister question session but also a parliamentary committee. >> this is all about you in the end. the reason thes

that will, i think way down on johnson. i don't think after the local authority elections, he will be able to recover, saw or argue this point is when likely to face a leadership contest in the summer. i think probably the 2 front runners in that regard will be the chancellor richie sooner and foreign secretary list try us i. i suspect neither. if it does go to the leadership contests, or want to concede, which means torrie members will need to have a say, an at least from where things sit at the moment. i believe her chancellors to knock is most likely her to succeed. johnson has prime minister in the 2nd half of the year, probably her to be announced at the tory conference in the, in the latter part of the year. okay. and julia, would you like to weigh in on, on this issue or far as she soon i kind and less trust that to misstep i was just talking about i think it will come as, as no surprise they say i completely lack of favorite tory to take over from, from the prime minister. i think part of the problem for me is the f

this is just a failure of boris johnson. >> boris johnson was never in his him. if you compare him to tony blair or margaret thatcher, johnson had no coherent agenda, no serious thinkers around him, no intellectual framework for what is allies call the project. that project was essentially boris johnson the man and a few policies attached to him. that really explains how quickly it all came rushing down and why. there was no coherent long-term plan in place even during the last hours of the crisis. he was marching around trying to find tax cuts and policies he could offer people. that is how it all came down. i think now, the conservative party are going to have to ask themselves a very serious question which is what kind of party did they want to be in the midst of the most -- that question is already a difficult one. >> is this a failure of boris johnson and was there even a boris johnsonism? >> there was never a coherence to his ideology. i think he is a standard conservative. i think he wanted to keep public spending under control. the pandemic and what the c

boris johnson continues to defend his record. prime minister johnson: we have more people in employment, more employees on the payroll there and there were before the pandemic began. that is what my staff have been working on in downing street. ros: some are refusing -- accusing boris johnson of misleading. the leader of the scottish conservatives says the number of letters needed to oust the prime minister is close. 54 would be needed to trigger a leadership vote. also, we will see how boris johnson reach this level of political peril. his career has set up a downs, but he is prime minister. he is a politician. what he has to do if he is to carry on an office. boris johnson's position as prime minister continues to be perilous, in the hands of his own mp's, after days of public anger about those parties that were held during lockdown in downing street. this is the former brexiteer rick perry david davis. >> i spent weeks and months defending the prime minister from often angry constituents. i reminded them of his success in brex

rosamond johnson. there is nothing that exclusively refers to african americans. the black experience is embodied, while also referencing the triumph, struggles, and strength that all humans encounter. the text refers to the hard work, aspiration, motivation, and moving towards victory. national songs that have connections took a country's heterogeneous populations, present the opportunity to elevate voices from its larger community. when south africa dismantled apartheid and created a new national anthem, the committee was chaired by its most prominent black south african composer, mzilikazi khumalo, the national anthem of south africa adopted in 1997, brings together the five most widely spoken of south africa's 11 official languages. xhosa, zulu, sesotho, afrikaans and english. sections of the anthem contain previous national anthems from south africa's white and black populations. the intended result was for the national music, their national anthem, to voice the sound through language and music of

prime minister johnson: mr. speaker this morning i had , meetings in addition to my duties in this house. i still have further such meetings. >> government support for household is greatly appreciated but energy costs are also causing massive problems for districts and particularly energy manufacturing. will the prime minister support the black country initiative backed by the left to reduce reliance on fossil fuel and will you be with me to look at how the black country can be a pilot project d carbonized reduce costs and prevent the regions manufacturing jobs. p.m. johnson: i cite he's a -- i cite my honorable friend. he's a great champion for the black country and in addition to the 1200 pounds and most -- vulnerable households where providing 400 pounds tell everybody with the cost of energy. we're supporting the black country energy infrastructure as the region has already received 1.5 to develop a plan for decarbonization. >> now, the leader of the opposition, keir starmer keir starmer: thank you mister sp

it is dire for boris johnson. it is great news for those opposition parties who want to face boris johnson at the next election, but want him wounded and he is wounded. but unlike theresa, maybe even like margaret thatcher voice johnson has proven himself to be an expert at spinning things in his favor. what's he going to do with this is going to come out and say, are one is going to say one here they, they said before the, even if it's just by one vote, he has one. we will put it behind him. however, they would know they would not have wanted these numbers. it is a, you know, he has exceeded, he's got a confidence, but such a divided party here. and somehow he has got to go forward with them for another year, 2 years. it's that the next election in the u. k. is supposed to be in 2024. so 2 years of this divided party. if you're going to be able to get important votes through parliament, all these and p is now going to vote against him. and this is very, very difficult for, i mean, how can he wheeled any power wit

oh, johnson has no say salvation. he has, there is no moral leadership, but for him it was always about becoming my men, sir. not about being payments, and he, i think he knows himself well enough that he knows he does not have the skills that you need to be a successful prime minister. sonya panell was a reporter working alongside johnson in the brussels bureau of the daily telegraph . she describes a man with a lot of the child in him who enjoyed getting into and out of scrapes. a man drawn to calles and the chaos means that he can sort of in, through these things going along with all this noise, all this commotion as the person with great idea the weight, the witticism. and that is what appeals to him for his johnson. the corona virus pandemic was a perfect storm of crises and calles that blew attention away from other problems. despite his promise to get brakes, it done, britain remains mud and dispute with its biggest trading part of the european union . the economy is underperforming. the cost of living, rising

pm johnson: the u.k. led the way in in underwriting the conferences which have brought countries together to supply weaponry to ukraine and providing the bulk of what is going in, and we will be doing more in august at the copenhagen conference, another military donor conference. this applies continue to go in. the ukrainians are steadily getting the kind of kit that they need if they are going to expel the russians from where they are, but it is also very important that they are trained to use the multi-launch rocket systems effectively so that very expensive weaponry is put to good use. >> your foreign secretary has explained that victory in ukraine means taking back every single square inch of ukraine soil. what is your view of victory? pm johnson: we can't be more ukrainian than the ukrainians. that is for them to decide. president zelenskyy has set out his ambitions. it will ultimately be for him to decide what are the terms that he wants. but he has been very clear that he would like to return at le

johnson said. in herman's ignition letter, munira mirza writes, i believe it was wrong for you to accuse keir starmer for being responsible for allowing jimmy savile to avoid justice. munira mirza says her resignation is not just about the allegation but what happened since. this is the deputy prime minister on tuesday describing what happened the day before. >> parliamentary debates and exchanges. ros: in response, she writes, this was not the usual cut and thrust of politics, it was a response to a horrendous case of child sex abuse. on wednesday, the prime minister was challenged by keir starmer. >> now their leader stands in the house of commons parroting the conspiracy theories of violent fascists to score cheap lyrical points. ros: to which boris johnson replied -- prime minister johnson: i h been informed that in 2030, the right honorable gentlemen apologized and took full responsibility for what had happened on his watch. i think, mr. speaker, that was the right thing to do. ros: keir starm

johnson & johnson is a lot more, i'm not representing johnson & johnson, they don't cope with vaccines and a lot of other medical things that are very valuable and johnson & johnson is not a monolithic by pension funds and funded by regular mechanism 401k. this is a more nuanced issue, it's about saving money because the system is broken and you cannot resolve 38000 claims in the system. the bankruptcy allows it to be done more efficiently. for the company in the victims. >> our legal system is to look for justice, not efficiency. if you think efficiency says a 430 billion-dollar corporation can walk away from any wrongdoing, i don't know if there discovered asbestos that led to mesothelioma with a gentlelady sitting t right. apparently they are losing these cases. they could've easily been some knowledge or should of been some knowledge that they were selling a dangerous product which endanger the life of the innocent customers. go to johnson & johnson website and take a look at all the pictures of the beautiful babies. and all the products that they sold for those babies. our family

it's not a failure of boris johnson ism. this is simply a failure of boris johnson sat right. thompson was never an ism, i mean if you compare johnson to tony blair or margaret thatcher or some of the other great transformative prime ministers in britain, british history, john johnson had no coherent agenda. he had no serious things around him. he had intellectual framework for what is called the project project was essentially broached johnson the man and a few policies attached to him. and that really explains, you know, how quickly it came crashing down and why it came crushing down there was no coherent, long term plan in place. even in the last hours of the crisis with lodging around trying to find tax cuts and policies that you can also right people. and so that's really how it all i would all came down and i think now you're going to have to offer a great series of question, which is, what kind of policy do they want to be in the midst of the most serious cost of living crisis. is country space for 50 years, and that question is a really difficult one to answer 10 by th

and that is what appeals to him for his johnson. the corona virus pandemic was a perfect storm of cry. season calles that blue attention away from other problems . despite his promise to get brakes, it done, britain remains mud and dispute with its biggest trading part of the european union . the economy is underperforming. the cost of living, rising health and education systems faltering success with the vaccine program helped obscure johnson's own indecision and delays in following scientific advice that contributed to one of the highest death tolls. in the developed world, former chief adviser, dominic cummings, described the prime minister leadership as erratic in decisive distracted. nobody could find a way around the problem of the progress that just like a shopping trolley smashing from one. busy to the other, the shopping trolley metaphor would quickly be seized upon by the opposition. so he's doing what he always does. crushing over to the other side of the aisle, boris johnson learned early to be self sufficient in a famil

johnson i was speaking to a tori, m p. earlier on today he was saying that he thought there might be more skeletons in the closet the could come outside and that that would further weaken him. i think that may very well be the case and i think the point is he, sadly he carries with him a huge magnetic field force of instability and it's disruptive and divisive and, and it's been a strength as a campaigner. it's been a huge weakness, as a prime minister in a government as the last few weeks and months are shown. and i, it's very sad, but that is where we all, i don't think we can fudge it. and i just don't see how he's going to be able to on monday at with a new cabinet. if he has a captain in their mind, right? i just don't see how that works or, and i, i, that's why i think he should resign the seals of office. and if you're international viewers, who wondering how this works? we did wiggles, don't have a presidential system, the head of state, the queen invites the leader of the largest party in parliament who can comman

at the time boris johnson was in vote mr. johnson faced that he one was 59%. the person responsible for counting who was backing the prime minister was --. he is now suggesting the time may be up. she usually significant figure within this government, a part of the big piece of borscht johnson's cabinet. he wasn't on the front that she wasn't on the front page with the prime minister's questions. all of this his prior world -- all of this has spiraled from a moment yesterday. when the house of commons and little bit earlier, just have the prime minister's questions, -- made his resignation today. >> trading a tight rope between loyalty and integrity has become impossible within recent months. i will never risk losing my integrity. i also believe a team is as good as its team captain. captain is as good as his or her team. it loyalty must go both ways. the events of recent -- the events of recent months have made it increasingly difficult to be in that team. it is not fair to minister collins to go out every morning to defend. it is not fair on my colleagues wh

johnson. >> obnoxious as hell, he's terrible. >> he's a paradoxical figure and hard to pin down. >> what remains undeniable, this was one of the most consequential presidencies in american history. >> no president ever came to this office on a platform of doing what was wrong. >> in fort worth this morning, in drizzle rain, thousands gather outside the presidential hotel, hours before the kennedys come on. presidential party in texas. >> i was working for westhouse broadcasting company, election coming up in '64, this was '63 and the idea was make sure texas is a kennedy state. >> presidents didn't quabble as much in those days to start with. when it was announced he was coming to texas it was a big deal. we were all so excited in fort worth. >> president kennedy wanted to come to texas to raise money. govern conny discouraged it. pres president kennedy wasn't very popular in texas. >> linden johnson was so well thought of in texas, had been senator before that. >> johnson didn't just dominate

johnson. they kicked mp's out of the party. >> preparing to use language that other prime ministers were not prepared to adopt. he felt the rules do not apply to him. and it was also the approach that he used over person as well as policy. reporter: the conservatives won their biggest majority in more than 30 years. but his new government was put on hold. it was hit by the worst health crisis in modern times. >> i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay-at-home. reporter: the prime minister himself became seriously ill with covid. he was admitted to intensive care and spent three days in hospital. a key ally throughout this time was dominic cmings, his unconventional style aggravating many. and within a year of the election victory, he had resigned after a bitter power struggle clashing with tory mp's and the prime minister's wife. he soon went on the attack becoming his most fiercest and damaging critic. >> will only got him in there because we had to solve a cer

johnson. she said mrs. kennedy quote really wanted me to safeguard that and continue that her words fell on fertile ground because i care deeply about it although from a very different viewpoint because i wasn't formally trained in 19th century furniture art or anything like that. my drive was to get american artists represented in the white house and i did lady bird lets jackie know that president johnston formerly planned to establish a committee for the preservation of the white house. jackie response by writing mrs. johnson in december of 1963 i'm touched that you want to do this thing. maybe i will be remembered as the person who started restoring the white house, but you will be the one who is remembered as preserving it and making sure for all time it was cared for. that was the moment. i was always scared of. would the next president's wife scrapped the whole thing as she was sick to death of hearing about jacqueline kennedy or which she forget about me and ensure the white house will

it's not a failure of boris johnson ism, this is simply a failure of boris johnson sat right or stone. some was never an ism, i mean if you compare johnson to tony blair or margaret fletcher or some of the other great transformative prime ministers in britain history, john johnson had no coherent agenda. he had no serious thing because around him he had intellectual framework for what is called the project project was essentially always johnson the man and a few policies attached to him. and that really explains how quickly it came crashing down and why it came crushing down, you know, there was no coherent, long term plan in place, even in the last hours of the crisis with lodging around trying to find tax cuts and policies that he could also write people and so that's really how it, how it all came down. and i think now you're going to have to offer a great series of question, which is, what kind of policy do they want to be in the midst of the most serious cost of living crisis is countries for 50 years in that question is a really difficult one to answer 10 belle, the same questio

johnson: mr. speaker, of course, but let me tell the house that i think he is inviting a question about an investigation which is come -- as you know, i can't comment, in which he is a lawyer, will know that i cannot comment on, and what i am focusing on is delivering the fastest recovery of any european economy from covid, the fastest booster rollout. and we are launching a policy tomorrow, mr. speaker. he talks about people being out of work, and in my case -- i understand why he wants it. we will get half a million people off welfare, and to work. it is a fantastic idea. i hope he supports it. >> i think the prime minister said the code does apply to him, and therefore if he misled parliament he should resign. on the first of december the prime minister told this house in relation to lockdown, all guidance was followed in number 10. on the eighth of december -- looks quizzical, he said it. on the eighth of december prime minister told this house, i have been repeatedly assured there was no part

what bar is johnson? excuse me, one of his excuses for not necessarily wanting to go was because that would be then course for the labor party. i'm a liberal democrat, the opposition party especially to a, to the new conservative meter, not having a mandate. the last general election was in 2019 under the current terms of the, the rules that there are that doesn't have to be another one until 20, 25 february 2075. and that for that, you know, we've seen it before with other leadership elections where leaders transition from onto the roof and talking to the other. i haven't had to be a general election. they can continue because the elections already done enough that the prime minister don't forget. and we spoke about this a little earlier this morning, is selected not by the country. it's not a presidential system. prime minister is selected by the conservative party. they remain the biggest party in parliament such they can choose who the prime minister is, who leads them. that if that's the reason why t

johnson's case, i think it just reaffirmed that mrs. johnson could be mrs. johnson. in other words, mrs. johnson was very clear with me, she was terrified before the first committee for the preservation of the white house, these were experts, it wasn't her work. she felt comfortable with bringing in americana. in the first meeting, it's really funny. they are talking about getting expensive rugs where i think it was the state dining room and mrs. johnson is going, well, aren't they walked on? aren't these antique rugs ruined? well they finally come to the conclusion maybe they should get copies. but i think that the public opinion had influenced her and then she left and didn't [inaudible] the people, mrs. kennedy, and just enabled to her to be more [inaudible] with the white house historical association and through their own plans for a lot of things. the first [inaudible] that was added walked in through a good texas friend of hers, and in a paper bag, to the first meeting of the committee for the preservation and the [inaudible] i have a little present for you, [i

pm johnson: mr. speaker, i think that is a completely ridiculous characterisation of the response of the government, because of course the reports of the incident are deeply distressing and deeply concerning -- everybody shares the honorable lady's feelings about that -- but the metropolitan police have rightly apologised and the independent office for police conduct is investigating. and for that reason, it would not be right, further. >> thank you, mr. speaker. people across north east hertfordshire are coming together to provide support and refuge to families fleeing the invasion in ukraine. the baldock and district action committee are about to welcome four families to our community. doesn't he agree with me that this shows the open-hearted generosity of the british people? will he continue to do all he can with the refugees minister to make this process as simple and speedy as possible? pm johnson: i thank my right hon orable friend and also all those involved in the two big schemes that we have

birth johnson does have a governing agenda. he wants to be, he's always wanted to be prime minister. he doesn't actually want to do the job of being prime minister. we need someone who's out to interest. ok. doing this job at time is critical, is less alan, could the economy be his last chance to win the hearts and minds of the british people? particularly if he manages within the upcoming months to fix the issues of the cost of living inflation and also the demand domestic energy costs. well, of course that would be a dramatic turnaround. i think we're going to manage expectations on that one. i'm in reality, we're in a global situation when it comes to the cost living crisis a something being shared across the world right now. and maybe we'll manage it better than other people maybe way. but i think we've got some way to roll on that subject. if we get to the end point, but i actually want to come back on what ross said, there is something to the idea that he has to now show leadership. what i said at the start, the reality i

lyndon johnson carried on the tradition of taping johnson who had also taped while he was vice president began taping from the very moment that he became president and we have 800 hours of lbj material about 650 of them on the telephone and about a hundred and fifty of them being meeting tapes, but it's richard nixon who wins the award for the greatest taping scheme that we have seen of these presents 3400 hours of nixon materials tape from february of 1971 through july of 1973. and the reason that there are so many nixon tapes is because he was using her voice activated system. so every time that he stepped into a room with a beeper on his on his belt buckle. a voice activated recorder would kick off and so whether nixon was speaking with aids whether he was watching tv and then left the room and the tv stayed on that would be captured as well which is why we have hours and hours of washington. i'll say the name washington redskins football games because that was the name of the team at the time. was it that the miller center comes to to take this on in 1998 philip? zelica who had moved

johnson. they kicked mp's out of the party. >> preparing to use language that other prime ministers were not prepared to adopt. he felt the rules do not apply to him. and it was also the approach that he used over person as well as policy. reporter: the conservatives won their biggest majority in more than 30 years. but his new government was put on hold. it was hit by the worst health crisis in modern times. >> i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay-at-home. reporter: the prime minister himself became seriously ill with covid. he was admitted to intensive care and spent three days in hospital. a key ally throughout this time was dominicmings, his unconventional style aggravating many. and within a year of the election victory, he had resigned after a bitter power struggle clashing with tory mp's and the prime minister's wife. he soon went on the attack becoming his most fiercest and damaging critic. >> will only got him in there because we had to solve a certa

but boris johnson's political hangover has just begun. the british leader is facing a fight for his political survival. more than 15 percent of conservative in peace have withdrawn this support for the prime minister. enough to trigger a party leadership challenge. i notified the prime minister yesterday that the threshold had been reached and we agreed the time table for confidence i'd say vice rumors of a possible challenge have been swirling for months. driven by a series of scandals. late last year, revelations emerged that johnson and his staff had held a number of parties in breach of the you cage code 19 lockdown laws. i'm an 8 following to separate investigations. johnson became the 1st serving prime minister to be fined for breaking the law. for many conservative m. p. 's, the so called party gate scandal was a step too far. now is very clear in january that the price should have resigned in january. it was clear that party gate was going to grow and grow and run and run while on the streets of london. many expressed a lack of tr

do you think force johnson has really accepted that it's either you would never count maurice johnson now. the could be the prospect of a political come back this up, but i think the for now his political future is over. but he has indicated already today that he wants to stay on as a member of parliament. that would give him the opportunity to launch a political come back at some point in the future, but, but not for now. he has to step down in the autumn, he will, he will be replaced. but let's say the consent have to have a bad general election was a next time you would rule. maurice johnson can back and say, no, i, when you an election in 2019, in a very, very big way, you know, i deserve another crockett, this whether the party would wear it, though, given that most of his covenant deserted him. most of his own appeals deserted him and the appears on the survey evidence that most of the electric deserted him were very, very difficult for paris johnson to do that. it's going to be interesting summer. thank you very much, professor jonathan tongue. appreciate it. my pleasure. in wi

the johnson as the, the cabinet is not rounds or raw, the rounds of johnson. this is a personal issue that johnston needs to go. rob has not disgraced himself. i'll see what he did, a very bad job in afghanistan, but he's that sci fi minister. i think the country would accept him as a caretaker for a very short period of time. while the cons that to the legs, the media that has to be before labor, the key to remember here is the boys. johnson doesn't actually have a stay on this anymore. he's exhausted his authority in the policy does not want him to stay on slow. tell you that he cannot. what about the conservative party itself a if, if there were an election tomorrow they'd lose according to the opinion polls they would not be in government, don't be able to form a government again. how much damage has he done to the reputation of the wider conservative party? i think it is safe to say that forest johnson is emphatically trashed his policy. and i think that he'll care very much about that because he was never in this policy is in his name self, but his polic

johnson. >> legislative genius. >> obnoxious. >> it is hard to nail him down. >> what remains undeniable is this is one of the most consequential presidencies in american history. >> no president ever came to this office on a platform of doing what was wrong . >> in fort worth this more than, in drizzling rain, thousands gathered around the presidential hotel, many starting nearly three hours before the kennedys were to come out. >> i was working for westinghouse broadcasting. the election was coming up in '64. this was '63. the idea was to make sure that texas was a kennedy state. >> presidents didn't travel much many those days, to start with. not nearly as much as they do now. when it was announced he was coming to texas, it was a big deal. we were all so excited in ft. worth. >> president kennedy wanted to come to texas to raise money. the governor discouraged it. the president wasn't very popular, at least in texas. the polls showed him in jeopardy. >> the thing that helped kennedy the mo

prime minister johnson: mr. speaker, this is -- again, he's doing this completely satirical. this is the government, this is the government that is investing 650 billion pounds in infrastructure, in skills, in technology. he talked about public services. what really matters in this country right now is getting their -- getting their appointments, getting their operations, fixing the backlog, figuring -- fixing the ambulances, that's what we should be talking about. mr speaker and that's why we voted through and that's why we passed the 39 billion pound health care and levy, mr. speaker, which they opposed. >> something needs to be done. mr speaker, they try to oppose it is a great pointless human bollard. >> mr. speaker -- mr. speaker, if only it was satirical. it's what future candidates -- the speaker: we want to get through p.m.q.'s because there's quite a few of you wanting to catch my eye, it will be more helpful to get through in order to do that. >> i appreciate they may not want to hear what their future

it emerged johnson had been briefed in person about it. the situation is approaching a tipping point where surely boris johnson's position becomes untenable. this prime minister is possessed of almost visceral stubbornness, seemingly impervious to the chrism of even close colleagues, and will not leave willingly. the question was posed directly during johnson's appearance before the liaison committee. >> on a human level, you must know it is in the country's interest for you to leave. >> i look at the pressures people are under and the need for government to focus on their priorities. i look at the biggest war in europe for 80 years. i can't for the life of me see how it is responsible to walk away from that. reporter: ousting a prime minister is no trivial matter but with many suit -- many choosing to resign rather than serve with this prime minister, the situation starts to look on survivable. the situation becomes, how to remove him from office? maryam: he joins us live now from outside the prime minister's office in central london. it
