With the bombs, with the weapons holding. Remember, over 200 hostages, then they will go back into israel and they will do this again. That is not keeping people safe and its not actually keeping people in gaza safe either, because further attacks on israel provoke attacks on israel will provoke further retaliation in israel.

So join me on gb news for some Great British television. Television. Thats right. We television. Thats right. We got television. Thats right. We got boris done the man who smashed the red wall, the man who won a stonking majority and the man who many people think fell victim to the greatest stitch up since the bayeux tapestry. Hes the man that every other news channel wanted, but hes chosen to come to gb news. Mr speaker , it is not too mr speaker, it is not too late to save brexit. Therefore, i give notice that bofis therefore, i give notice that Boris Johnson is elected as the leader of the conservative and unionist party. Well , my friends. Good well, my friends.

The most important thing to say tonight is that this is not an end , but a beginning. This is end, but a beginning. This is the moment when the dawn breaks and the curtain goes up on a new act in our Great National drama. Act in our Great National drama. We must therefore go into a National Lockdown, which is tough enough to contain this variant. That means the government is once again instructing you to stay at home. The last place youd want the Prime Minister to be at a time of National Crisis. Of National Crisis. For Boris Johnson, this now a deeply personal crisis to his coronavirus. Symptoms worsen.

I was there too. I havent said it was a party. Mrjohnson well, i havent said it was a party. Mr johnson well, you did actually, earlier on. People who say that we were partying in lockdown simply do not they are talking not know what they are talking about. Did wittingly or about. I did not wittingly or recklessly mislead parliament. It is clearly now the will of the Parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new Prime Minister. I know that there will be many people who are relieved and perhaps quite a few who will also be disappointed. But thems the breaks. The breaks. So boris will be joining our team here and hes going to be playing a key role in our coverage of both the uk general election. The next us election, as well. Hes going to create and present a new series showcasing the power of great britain. What makes us great . Our role around the world, Global Britain and he may well even be doing his own specials in front of Live Audiences. Hes box office and hes all ours. Box office and hes all ours.

Making britain great again. Russia. China issues ukraine. Im sure well touch some in some parts on domestic policy, but it is the kind of for many people are not in westminster, not where im in westminster, but others. I think hes hes the tonic which some people might missing. I remind you might be missing. I remind you the left office, the numbers when he left office, the numbers when he left office, the tory party was 12 points behind in the polls. Now its 24 points, twice as bad as when he left under a year of british sunak 28 points, according to gb news survey. Yesterday so for many, hes the part of the problem of why the tories have gone awry. For supporters, certainly not for mps, they have got quite tired of all the ill discipline around his regime. Um, but i giving them a um, but i think giving them a voice gb will be voice again on gb news will be quite interesting. I dont know what number 10 might think about it. Not an it. Of course hes not an mp anymore. Hes no political threat says will be threat. But what he says will be interesting and will be setting the weather. The political weather. Guy won a stonking this guy won a stonking majority. Okay people might find it difficult to understand, but for some reason, you know, this is incredibly well educated chap who say was born into immense privilege and all of this stuff just touches the pulse of the nation. Smash the red wall down, people love him. People do not like the fact that he was ousted from office. You look at the way the conservative party is languishing in the polls right now and its easy to see why getting of boris may well getting rid of boris may well have been mistake and he is have been a mistake and he is here, isnt he, to sell a positive vision for britain, for. Us yes. The party is doing twice as badly now. Today as it was when bofis badly now. Today as it was when Boris Johnson was removed from office. According to the polls. Office. According to the polls. I know labour pilo on labours side back in as recently as september 2021, they were saying to me privately, when will johnson when he johnson retire . When will he leave . When will he move on . As leave . When will he move on . As it was , it was tory mps who got it was, it was tory mps who got him door within nine him out the door within nine months in degree panic that months in a degree of panic that led being appointed led to liz truss being appointed and removed as leader as and then removed as leader as well until sunak was well until rishi sunak was appointed about a year ago this week.
