we should be prepared to be back here doing this same thing when that happens. because especially considering some of the things that mccarthy clearly gave away. i mean in the past they ve been able to do it with democratic help, and mccarthy in theory could do that. but it seems like they ve tried to hold his feet to fire here and say, no, what kevin mccarthy can decide to do is not put it on the floor. without getting into the specifics of all the ugly fights that are going to come, i think the point that you just made and others have made is that this is at large a vision of what we re going to see, possibly, going forward for the next two years in a very chaotic congress. and it has huge consequences. huge consequences for nation, but as we just settle on this moment, we are watching the history being made, because i believe on this 15th ballot kevin mccarthy will finally secure enough votes, whether it s through people voting present or switching votes to him ....

the former conservative cabinet secretaryjustine greening, the is chief political commentator paul waugh and the republican political analyst doug heye. good evening, welcome to the programme. by the 5th september we will know who is to become the next prime minister of the united kingdom. currently, we have 11 candidates, the hope is that by next week, 11 will become two. in the last hour, the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers has set out the rules by which they will eliminate candidates. here is the chair of that committee sir graham brady. we tried to find a balance where we are not making it impossibly difficult for serious candidates to enter the contest but we don t want to have a cast of thousands of people who don t really have great prospects of progressing in the election. so the first round will be held on wednesday, by which time candidates will require the support of 20 mps. a second on thursday, in which they will need the support of 30. another ....
