teresa may, his predecessor. he still has teresa may, his predecessor. he: still has some support, just to bring you the very latest, we hear from a couple of other cabinet ministers who are staying put, alisterjack, brandon lewis, both confirmed they are staying in their post. simon hart, the well secretary to come in a couple of otherjunior ministers, mark spencer and chris philip. this is not a complete collapse of the government for their several ministries, the majority can back to our billing at this point to stay in post and to help boris johnson tried to tough this out, but to answer your question about the mood in the party. it is not good. it s pretty grand, frankly, after what is that of a difficulty days with downing street s handling of the resignation of chris pincher, as deputy chief went on. he s had the whip taken away as well and suspended as a conservative mp over the last few days. downing street has to shift its position as new
waiting on the report to hear more about. we have had cabinet ministers today defending the prime minister, otherjunior ministers have had to respond to some of their own angry constituents, for example, health minister maria coffield writing on her website that the culture in number ten was one for even if the rules were not broken the spirit of them was. the science minister george freeman writing to a constituent saying he was shocked and flabbergasted by some of the reports of the downing street gatherings. note that ministers at the moment are reserving judgment about the prime minister and his role himself at the moment but i think this is where the report by the top civil servant sue gray will be really key in terms of further reaction going forward. if that report seems to suggest in any form that the prime minister was warned about this party, certainly there is always amongst ministers how they will respond next. ione, thank you.
