They see it, on resolving the northern ireland protocol question, and they will now go forward and publicly announce this very shortly in windsor, just a few minutes from here, we imagine, in around an hour orso. here, we imagine, in around an hour or so. these two leaders in this building behind me confirming, from a government source anyway, a deal has been done. this is not a surprise, and everyone will want to see what is in it. not a surprise, but a potentially defining moment for rishi sun...

There is cooperation in a range of issues. that includes things like financial services, data, issues. that includes things like financialservices, data, even quite detailed but still important things like electric car batteries and whether those made in the uk can count towards the eus rules for avoiding tariffs. these things wont automatically be fixed by this but the mood music will improve, this processes will speed up and the chances of favourable decisions on those and therefore the benefi...

Prime minister sunak is viewed here differently to his predecessors. yes, he is a brexiteer but the eu sees him as a solution focused guy, not in ideologue, working here in the interest of the people of northern ireland. they can see why it is in his best interest to do this new deal. first of all, he avoids the possibility of a trade war with the eu, the uks biggest trade partner if he doesnt implement the old deal on northern ireland and better relations with the new deal, that opens up new po...

The general relationship between the uk and the eu. you had borisjohnson initially saying he had signed an oven ready brexit deal, there will be no checks, and as time went on as prime minister he accepted that the deal did bring new barriers and therefore rishi sunak is trying to resolve that. but as many of his tory predecessors, quite a few in the past two years! as they found out, it is very difficult and whenever you try to agree something, particularly on the northern ireland question, you...

Unlike maybe his two predecessors, he is a results—oriented, delivery kind of prime minister, who gets problems solved and can manage the uk economy sensibly and in a way that promotes growth. this is exactly the kind of thing he needs to show in order to do so. that we are not fighting any more with the eu over things that are sometimes quite archain questions of principle. we are getting on with pragmatic solutions that benefit the uk economy and, ultimately, i think that is why he probably ...

Challenges like workforce for example where labour has plans to deliver the biggest expansion of the nhs work force in history, fully costed and funding by punishing the non—dom tax that is what to make sure we have the nhs workforce we need for the long—term to get patients seen on time so the nhs is a good example of how labour�*s record in government was shortest waiting times in history and highest patient satisfaction and mission driven government is a stark contrast what we have seen...

Terms of economic growth and health care and life sciences. but also i hope to restore a bit of faith and politics more generally because i do find when i have been going in the country knocking on doors and talk to people or visiting hospitals and gp surgeries and pharmacies, talking to people, there is a huge amount of cynicism actually about whether politics can be a force for good at all. ., .., politics can be a force for good at all. ., .. , ., ., all. you can understand where that comes f...

Even if you agree a deal you still need that in your back pocket, so this was put to the commons leader penny mordaunt and the suggestion this isnt particularly helpful. this is what she had to say. i dont think this is an entirely unhelpful intervention. i think the prime minister would give credit to predecessors for enabling us to get this far. we have the bill, and the command paper that was produced at the time, and in part it is because of that that we are now able to have these negotiatio...

Would give credit to his predecessors for enabling us to get this far. we have the bill, and the command paper produced at the time. in part it is because of that that we are now able to have these negotiations and the eu is talking about things that previously it said it wouldnt. it is not unhelpful for boris johnson to say, you better not watered down my brexit deal, at a sensitive time? it is a reminder to the eu, the bar they have to get over. ultimately it is not really about what boris joh...
