00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.109
when it comes to U. K. Politics,

00:00:02.609 --> 00:00:05.150
it now of course, shifts to the grassroots Tory

00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:07.710
party members in terms of voting for the next prime

00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:11.269
minister. What can we expect from them? Well

00:00:11.269 --> 00:00:15.140
, while Richie Cenac was the favorite among mps Liz

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:17.620
truss is the favorite among the grassroots. It is

00:00:17.620 --> 00:00:21.210
thought from polls, although polls can fluctuate and that's

00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:23.969
because she's been so strong on tax cuts. She

00:00:23.969 --> 00:00:26.059
says she wants to cut taxes from day one.

00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:28.609
Whereas Richie Cenac says that he's going to wait until

00:00:28.609 --> 00:00:32.060
inflation is under control to do that. We had

00:00:32.070 --> 00:00:35.670
john Glenn, the former City Minister ally on Bloomberg

00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:38.619
yesterday. He actually said they both wanted to cut

00:00:38.619 --> 00:00:40.469
taxes. They just want to do it on different

00:00:40.469 --> 00:00:43.000
timelines. So it'll be interesting to see whether we

00:00:43.509 --> 00:00:46.729
can persuade the membership of that over the next six

00:00:46.729 --> 00:00:49.429
weeks. But the postal ballots are going to get

00:00:49.429 --> 00:00:52.200
sent out to the grassroots membership in the first week

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.210
of august. So Trustees Camp's gonna be hoping that

00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:57.399
it's a done deal before any of us know it

00:00:57.409 --> 00:01:00.270
. And the leaders announced on September the 5th lizzie

00:01:00.270 --> 00:01:03.890
, we also had Boris johnson's last Prime Minister's questions

00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:06.959
PMQs yesterday. What did you make of it?

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.579
Well, I was actually in the chamber, I

00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:11.760
sat in the public gallery to take the temperature and

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.819
there was raucous laughter when johnson signed off with that

00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:19.670
quote from the terminator hostile of Easter baby. He

00:01:19.670 --> 00:01:23.099
also tried to write history in his favor while he

00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:26.090
had the opportunity just as he did in his resignation

00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:29.480
street on his resignation speech on Downing Street. He

00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.599
was pumping up his own record on Brexit, Ukraine

00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.810
and Covid, and then he parted with some words

00:01:37.810 --> 00:01:41.200
for whoever is his successor. Stick to the americans

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.819
and forget about twitter to my successor. Whoever he

00:01:46.819 --> 00:01:49.480
or she may be. Number one, stay close

00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.069
to the americans. Stick up for the Ukrainians.

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.810
Stick up for freedom and democracy everywhere, cut taxes

00:01:55.810 --> 00:01:59.299
and deregulate wherever you can to make this the greatest

00:01:59.299 --> 00:02:05.670
place to live and invest so flamboyant as ever,

00:02:05.670 --> 00:02:07.359
from johnson right to the end.
