:00:09. > :00:10.Hello, it's Tuesday, it's 9am, I'm Victoria Derbyshire -

:00:11. > :00:15.This morning, the country has a new Conservative leader

:00:16. > :00:17.and by tomorrow evening a new Prime Minister.

:00:18. > :00:23.She is 59-year-old Theresa May, daughter of a vicar,

:00:24. > :00:26.MP for 19 years, Home Secretary for six years, whose desert

:00:27. > :00:29.island luxury would be a subscription to Vogue magazine.

:00:30. > :00:34.We are going to give people more control over their lives,

:00:35. > :00:41.and that is how, together, we will build a better Britain.

:00:42. > :00:43.This morning we're at Westminster, where we'll be talking

:00:44. > :00:47.to her friends, her colleagues and her critics.

:00:48. > :00:50.Plus we'll talk to those who count - you, the voters, the people who'll

:00:51. > :01:04.I'm Rachel, I think Theresa May's strong leadership is what the poetry

:01:05. > :01:07.and country needs. I have reservations, it is a big job and I

:01:08. > :01:11.would like to know how she will do it. Her colleagues were gushing

:01:12. > :01:17.yesterday and I hope it is all true. In half-an-hour David Cameron

:01:18. > :01:20.will chair has last ever Cabinet meeting as Prime Minister -

:01:21. > :01:27.Norman Smith is there. We'll Theresa May keep or call the

:01:28. > :01:30.Tory big beasts as she scrambles to shape her new Government in just 48

:01:31. > :01:51.hours? The clock is ticking. Good morning, and good morning to

:01:52. > :01:54.our voters who have joined us here, thank you for giving up your time

:01:55. > :01:59.today to talk about some really important stuff this morning.

:02:00. > :02:01.Britain has a new Prime Minister - Theresa May officially takes over

:02:02. > :02:05.This morning we're in Westminster, outside the Houses of Parliament,

:02:06. > :02:10.where we'll be keeping you up to date with all the developments,

:02:11. > :02:13.talking to those who know Theresa May and her critics.

:02:14. > :02:16.And throughout the programme we're joined by an audience of voters.

:02:17. > :02:19.The people who will be affected by any decisions Theresa May makes in

:02:20. > :02:21.the future. David Cameron will chair his

:02:22. > :02:24.last-ever Cabinet meeting today. In a moment we'll talk to three

:02:25. > :02:27.of those who'll be there, but first this is

:02:28. > :02:28.Theresa May's story. We have got a hand that has

:02:29. > :02:31.been up for ages, Roger. Would you like to see a woman Prime

:02:32. > :02:38.Minister? I think it depends

:02:39. > :02:43.upon who the person is, I don't think there will be a woman

:02:44. > :02:47.Prime Minister in my lifetime. I grew up the daughter of

:02:48. > :03:01.a local vicar and the granddaughter Public service has been

:03:02. > :03:05.a part of who I am for I think what the people

:03:06. > :03:38.in Maidenhead are looking for is who will be the best

:03:39. > :03:41.constituency Member of Parliament and obviously I think they have made

:03:42. > :03:46.the right choice tonight. One of the most dangerous

:03:47. > :03:48.human emotions is Today, the world is not a safer

:03:49. > :03:56.place, it is a more uncertain place, There is a lot we need to do

:03:57. > :04:25.in this party of ours. Our base is too narrow,

:04:26. > :04:27.and so occasionally I know that is unfair,

:04:28. > :04:38.you know that's unfair, but it is the people out

:04:39. > :05:05.there that we need to convince. If you do not change

:05:06. > :05:07.of your own accord, I am honoured and humbled to have

:05:08. > :05:35.been chosen by the Conservative Brexit means Brexit,

:05:36. > :05:41.and we are going to Second, we need to unite our

:05:42. > :05:49.country, and third, we need a strong, new positive vision

:05:50. > :05:54.for the future of our country, a vision of a country that works not

:05:55. > :05:59.for the privileged few but that works for every one of us

:06:00. > :06:02.because we are going to give people That is how, together,

:06:03. > :06:20.we will build a better Britain. That is the Theresa May story so

:06:21. > :06:27.far. Do get in touch and

:06:28. > :06:30.tell us your thoughts There is so much we still do not

:06:31. > :06:35.know about her. Let's talk to three Conservative MPs

:06:36. > :06:39.who will be going to David Cameron's final Cabinet meeting -

:06:40. > :06:41.the top table of ministers. Robert Halfon, who's

:06:42. > :06:43.a Minister without Portfolio - he helps with the Government's

:06:44. > :06:44.decision-making processes. David Mundell, Secretary

:06:45. > :06:46.of State for Scotland. And Alun Cairns, the Secretary

:06:47. > :06:55.of State for Wales. The last Cabinet meeting chaired by

:06:56. > :06:58.David Cameron, Theresa May, Prime Minister in waiting, sitting around

:06:59. > :07:02.the table, what will the atmosphere be like? It will be incredibly

:07:03. > :07:06.moving and emotional, David Cameron has been a good Prime Minister,

:07:07. > :07:11.doctors out of a tricky economic situation and created a lot of jobs,

:07:12. > :07:15.and everybody will be sad to see a good Prime Minister leave. I think

:07:16. > :07:19.we all want to express gratitude to David Cameron, six difficult years

:07:20. > :07:23.with the coalition but keeping the country together, making sure we got

:07:24. > :07:27.the economy turned around, winning a general election for the

:07:28. > :07:30.Conservatives with a majority, we have all got to the grateful to him

:07:31. > :07:35.for that. But I think he will be very pleased that he is being

:07:36. > :07:38.succeeded by someone he believes will be competent to take on this

:07:39. > :07:43.great office and move the country forward. Will it be awkward in

:07:44. > :07:47.their? I don't think so, there will be a lot of warm up for the Prime

:07:48. > :07:51.Minister, recognition for what he has achieved. Remember where he took

:07:52. > :07:53.the party from, Douglas back into Government, coalition first and then

:07:54. > :07:55.back into Government with the economic changes that we have seen,

:07:56. > :08:14.and I think there will be a lot of

:08:15. > :08:17.optimism because we are moving to the next phase of governance under a

:08:18. > :08:19.new Prime Minister. Theresa May knows everybody around the Cabinet

:08:20. > :08:21.table exceptionally well because she has been there from the outset and

:08:22. > :08:24.has seen people come and go. She will want to put her stamp on the

:08:25. > :08:27.next Government. Is this meeting really you saying thank you and

:08:28. > :08:30.goodbye to your old boss? There is a job to do, there is a full Cabinet

:08:31. > :08:33.agenda that we will discuss, a range of issues. What is the point, the

:08:34. > :08:35.new woman takes over tomorrow! The job of Government does not stop, it

:08:36. > :08:44.has been ongoing throughout this uncertain period... Barely! Not at

:08:45. > :08:47.all! The important thing gives, we are about to have a good Prime

:08:48. > :08:52.Minister, she is a remarkable woman with huge strength of character, a

:08:53. > :08:55.huge worker, she will unify the party and the country and I think

:08:56. > :09:02.she will safeguard the security of our country. That statement you just

:09:03. > :09:06.made, a unifier of the party, the Conservative MPs are to decide that,

:09:07. > :09:10.and the country. We have got some voters here, let's see what they

:09:11. > :09:14.think about whether Theresa May is a unifier of the country bearing in

:09:15. > :09:20.mind the journey of the country since the vote to leave the.

:09:21. > :09:24.Unifier? I think she kept a low enough profile during the referendum

:09:25. > :09:31.debate that she can be a unifier but it depends what team she brings in

:09:32. > :09:39.with her. Let's move that along, unifier? I'm not convinced, it is a

:09:40. > :09:46.big job. How is she going to do it? Can she really sway from in, out,

:09:47. > :09:54.out, in? Can she? I'm not convinced. As a low-key Remainer, can she take

:09:55. > :09:58.Britain out of the U? I think Theresa May is a career politician

:09:59. > :10:03.and I think during the referendum this is what she was playing for.

:10:04. > :10:11.She was, first of all, muttering that she was for leave, and suddenly

:10:12. > :10:15.she was for Remain, and coming up to the referendum we did not hear from

:10:16. > :10:22.her at all. She did make one or two speeches. The important thing is she

:10:23. > :10:26.is going to appoint a senior Brexiteer in her Cabinet to manage

:10:27. > :10:30.the withdrawal from the European Union. Would you imagine that a

:10:31. > :10:34.bidder currently do the House of Commons, Chris Grayling? Who knows

:10:35. > :10:41.who it is going to be? Boris Johnson?! Who knows. But it is about

:10:42. > :10:44.compassionate conservatism, she said she wants to attack crony

:10:45. > :10:49.capitalism, make sure working people are protected from being thrown on

:10:50. > :10:53.the scrapheap. She sounded like a Labour Leader at that point, don't

:10:54. > :10:57.you think? She sounded like Theresa May, the compassionate Conservative

:10:58. > :11:01.I know her to be. It would have been easy for her yesterday to move to

:11:02. > :11:05.the right in order to appeal to the Tory grassroots, which, if we are

:11:06. > :11:12.honest, hard to the right of the party. She could have handed to them

:11:13. > :11:15.but she didn't, she made a mainstream speech, focused on one

:11:16. > :11:18.nation conservatism, making the economy work forward ordinary

:11:19. > :11:21.people, rather than pandering to what would have been an easy

:11:22. > :11:24.short-term win but a long-term defeat. There has not been a

:11:25. > :11:29.Conservative leadership contest in the end so we have not had much time

:11:30. > :11:33.to scrutinise her views, for example, on the economy. She talked

:11:34. > :11:37.yesterday about wanting to make an economy that works for everyone,

:11:38. > :11:41.that is going to be so hard because it depends on growth, which depends

:11:42. > :11:46.on Brexit, which in the short-term could hurt? She is not denying this

:11:47. > :11:50.could be a tough job, she did not take it on because it will be an

:11:51. > :11:54.easy ride, she has been offered that there are significant challenges

:11:55. > :12:00.ahead but she has committed to Brexit, and she will deliver that.

:12:01. > :12:04.But what does Brexit mean? She is looking to get the best possible

:12:05. > :12:08.deal for the UK and I think she is able to negotiate that, able to deal

:12:09. > :12:11.with Angela Merkel, to carve out for Britain a new role in the world

:12:12. > :12:16.because that will be very important in terms of trade and the economy.

:12:17. > :12:20.But she is not somebody going into this with her eyes closed, her eyes

:12:21. > :12:25.are wide open in relation to the challenges, and she is somebody up

:12:26. > :12:31.to that scale of challenge. This will be, her Government, will be a

:12:32. > :12:35.Government with the aspiration to create jobs and sort out the economy

:12:36. > :12:39.but also being compassionate on welfare, helping with mental health.

:12:40. > :12:45.She has bought in a law to strengthen domestic silence... She

:12:46. > :12:48.has done a lot in terms of domestic abuse, bringing in the corrosive

:12:49. > :12:52.control legislation is, but she also voted for every measure in the last

:12:53. > :12:55.six years which you would say was important for reducing the deficit

:12:56. > :12:59.which had a massive impact on the lives of some of the most honourable

:13:00. > :13:03.people in our country so to suddenly hear this compassion given --

:13:04. > :13:07.compassionate conservatism might ring hollow. If we had not tackled

:13:08. > :13:11.the deficit over the last six years the country would be in a more

:13:12. > :13:16.difficult place, nobody denied some of the decisions taken were tough

:13:17. > :13:21.decisions but they were taken in order to turn round the economy. I

:13:22. > :13:28.think that we now understand, particularly as we are going to go

:13:29. > :13:31.through the Jews around Brexit, that we have to loosen the financial

:13:32. > :13:38.tightening... She has already said that. So we are going to move

:13:39. > :13:45.forward on that. You have talked about a good leader, confident, what

:13:46. > :13:49.is she like as a person? Do you remember the time when she was

:13:50. > :13:53.Conservative Party chairman? She would have toured the party, length

:13:54. > :13:56.and breadth, and could be a very funny after-dinner speaker. She can

:13:57. > :14:00.be focused but warm as well and I think she has got so many skills and

:14:01. > :14:04.will appeal to so many different people, and I feel we can be

:14:05. > :14:08.optimistic about this, we are moving to the next stage and we have a

:14:09. > :14:21.leader fitting of the role. Most of us will not have seen that warmth,

:14:22. > :14:24.is that true, is she a warm person, does it matter? She is tough, we

:14:25. > :14:26.want a tough Prime Minister, but she is compassionate as well. A few

:14:27. > :14:28.years ago we had a horrific incidents of domestic violence in my

:14:29. > :14:31.constituency where a young girl and boy were beaten to death and Theresa

:14:32. > :14:34.May. Involved Posthumus lead to help the family, which she did not have

:14:35. > :14:39.to do because the Home Office said they could not help, she went

:14:40. > :14:42.against the advice of her junior ministers, she has compassion and

:14:43. > :14:47.stands up for things when it counts. Thank you all very much. The last

:14:48. > :14:54.cabinet meeting, it is about 9:15am... We will have to run! Thank

:14:55. > :14:58.you for your time. Let's hear more from our voters. Do

:14:59. > :15:06.you believe she is warm? Does it matter? I wish my friends would talk

:15:07. > :15:08.about me like that! I am a bit worried about all of the talk of

:15:09. > :19:06.including everybody because it seems Fallon? Mr Grayling, are you going

:19:07. > :19:12.to be the Brexit Minister? Are you going to handle the Brexit

:19:13. > :19:19.negotiations? That is Chris Grayling, he may be the man charged

:19:20. > :19:22.with handling Brexit, it is Theresa May said she will create a specific

:19:23. > :19:28.post for somebody to handle everything. There is such a jagged.

:19:29. > :19:33.Will you still be in the Government, do you think? That has to be in the

:19:34. > :19:37.back of the mind of all these ministers, a lot of them are sitting

:19:38. > :19:45.around the Cabinet table, but maybe it will be goodbye, good night, no

:19:46. > :19:49.more. This is Theresa May's moment of maximum power, she comes in with

:19:50. > :19:53.the vote from MPs, she has got a clean slate, she can do what she

:19:54. > :20:01.wants. If she wants to clear out a load of people, this is the moment.

:20:02. > :20:03.As far as I can work out, she has not necessarily promised certain

:20:04. > :20:06.roles to certain people in the last week or so when it was clear she was

:20:07. > :20:12.putting herself forward for leadership. I think that is a good

:20:13. > :20:17.point. When the contest was under way, there were talks about Boris

:20:18. > :20:22.Johnson trying to meet her to do a deal, and when he phoned up her

:20:23. > :20:26.people, the one word that kept coming back was, she does not do

:20:27. > :20:46.deals. She did not want to meet him or offer a compromise.

:20:47. > :20:49.and shape the success or otherwise of her premiership. It is a moment

:20:50. > :20:54.of change, but everything we know about her is she is not flashy, she

:20:55. > :21:01.does not go in for big gestures. Patrick MacLachlan winding his way

:21:02. > :21:04.in. A question about whether the Heathrow decision might be

:21:05. > :21:09.accelerated, there was the logjam because of Boris Johnson brooding

:21:10. > :21:12.over the whole thing. There has been talk about how we need to give a big

:21:13. > :21:20.message that we are open for business, and the Heathrow decision

:21:21. > :21:29.might get fast tracked. That is Liz truss just going in, she was a

:21:30. > :21:32.prominent supporter of Remain. Who knows what will happen. Can I ask

:21:33. > :21:49.about the Chancellor? The thinking is Theresa May

:21:50. > :21:52.yesterday set out a big pitch, she talked about the need for big

:21:53. > :21:56.economic reform, she said the Government had done plenty on social

:21:57. > :22:01.reform, but enough on fundamental economic reform. It was seen as a

:22:02. > :22:06.criticism of the Chancellor. And he has been there a long time, he has

:22:07. > :22:12.had a rough time in recent budgets. You think of the rumpus over tax

:22:13. > :22:16.credits, over disability benefits. He has had to throw away his deficit

:22:17. > :22:22.reduction plans, he said forget having a surplus by 2020. Theresa

:22:23. > :22:28.May may decide, time is up. Who would step into the hot seat? A lot

:22:29. > :22:32.of people think it could be Philip Hammond, he has a money background,

:22:33. > :22:37.he could move there, and George Osborne could move to the Foreign

:22:38. > :22:40.Office. Back with you very shortly, as people arrived. Waiting for

:22:41. > :22:45.Theresa May, to attend David Cameron's last Cabinet meeting.

:22:46. > :22:56.She said it was important that there were some prominent Leavers in the

:22:57. > :23:03.Cabinet. Is it important for other people as well? I think we need to

:23:04. > :23:09.find out who she will have in her Cabinet about -- before we decide

:23:10. > :23:15.what sort of Prime Minister she will be. Whether she will be in the

:23:16. > :23:18.centre or a traditional Conservative. I think she will be a

:23:19. > :23:24.second Margaret Thatcher. Some of her policies on immigration, voting

:23:25. > :23:30.for Syrian air strikes, but against bringing Syrian children here,

:23:31. > :23:34.tuition fees, I am scared and sceptical. But I will wait to see

:23:35. > :23:42.who she has in her Cabinet. She will have a lot of work to do. She will

:23:43. > :23:50.have to be strong, stronger than Margaret Thatcher. Is that possible?

:23:51. > :23:55.It may be. There should not be an election now, it would divide the

:23:56. > :24:04.country more. She should get some help from the Conservative Party.

:24:05. > :24:10.She should unify the country. Introduce yourselves, your name,

:24:11. > :24:14.where you were from, what you would normally be doing, so our audience

:24:15. > :24:24.have an idea about you and your life. Harvey. What do you do? I am a

:24:25. > :24:29.student Aboriginal University. You don't look like a student! I am

:24:30. > :24:37.going to an award ceremony after this! Theresa May is well-placed to

:24:38. > :24:44.unify country. On the Remain side, we cannot discount a lot of people

:24:45. > :24:49.voted Remain, and if it was a Brexiter, we could have seen a

:24:50. > :24:54.skewed outcome. By being a Remainer, she can pull the country with her.

:24:55. > :24:59.There are things that both sides want to see, certain things about

:25:00. > :25:02.migration, whether it turns to free movement of workers as opposed to

:25:03. > :25:06.people, those kind of questions need to be asked, everybody needs to be

:25:07. > :25:14.taken with them, the country, the Cabinet. Are you a Conservative

:25:15. > :25:18.supporter? I am, yes. Why did you say it like that? I am a proud

:25:19. > :25:26.Conservative voter, bigoted idiots have got an excellent record. -- the

:25:27. > :25:31.Conservatives have got an excellent record. I voted Leave, Britain is

:25:32. > :25:40.well placed in the world to make those trade deals. Democracy comes

:25:41. > :25:43.to the heart of it, the EU is not democratic, so many people have

:25:44. > :25:51.fought for democracy, we can not be part of an organisation that refuses

:25:52. > :25:55.to reform. Good morning. I am a speech writer for an MP and a

:25:56. > :26:03.technology headhunter. That is a heck of a combination! Interesting!

:26:04. > :26:11.Different days of the week! Brexit means Brexit, there has been talk

:26:12. > :26:15.about needing a Brexiteer. There is a firm line there will be no Rene

:26:16. > :26:22.Krhin by the Tory Government on this. People who think you want a

:26:23. > :26:28.Brexit to negotiate Brexiter will be disappointed, because every Brexiter

:26:29. > :26:36.has a different idea of what it is. Teresa may have the mandate, and she

:26:37. > :26:40.will have clear leadership. She has unify the Tory party, she is yet to

:26:41. > :26:55.unify Northern Ireland and Scotland. That might be impossible. We will

:26:56. > :26:58.see. Hello. You want Brexiteers and Remainers in her team. She has got

:26:59. > :27:04.to think about calling an election. Perhaps next year. But at about a

:27:05. > :27:08.mandate, I don't think she has a mandate. Would that bring another

:27:09. > :27:13.layer of uncertainty? But it's what we don't want. It does not lead to

:27:14. > :27:17.economic stability or growth, and that is what we need. The

:27:18. > :27:22.Conservative Party were voted in on a manifesto, it was David Cameron's

:27:23. > :27:27.mandate, it has transferred to Theresa May. Unless she departs from

:27:28. > :27:31.it, she retains the mandate. There is political exhaustion in this

:27:41. > :27:49.whether there should be a general election later. Hold it! Pause!

:27:50. > :27:54.Don't peak too soon! We will come back to that conversation. A couple

:27:55. > :27:59.of comments from you. I believe Theresa May, says John, will be a

:28:00. > :28:03.super Prime Minister, at certain times leaders have come along and

:28:04. > :28:06.grab the bat on, and she will be one of those. Phillips says, she is the

:28:07. > :28:12.most right wing prime ministers since Margaret Thatcher.

:28:13. > :28:17.Philip Hammond moving in, are you moving to the Treasury? Are you

:28:18. > :28:23.taking over from George Osborne? Philip Hammond heading in, we still

:28:24. > :28:27.waiting Theresa May. What's the betting she rides last to make an

:28:28. > :28:34.impact? We have most of the Cabinet in, Michael Gove one of the early

:28:35. > :28:39.ones. We will not see the Chancellor going in that door. We have got most

:28:40. > :28:45.of the main players, still no sight of Theresa May. We are told this

:28:46. > :28:48.final Cabinet will kick off with David Cameron making a few

:28:49. > :28:54.valedictory remarks, he will reflect on his time as Prime Minister. Quite

:28:55. > :29:01.a poignant moment, especially when you reflect that only a year ago he

:29:02. > :29:05.won what too many people was a surprise general election, he pulled

:29:06. > :29:10.his party out of the mouths of a possible hung parliament and

:29:11. > :29:14.delivered a general election. There is David Mundell, the Scottish

:29:15. > :29:19.secretary. Ideological to promotion? Been promised anything? I don't

:29:20. > :29:28.think anybody will have been promised anything. Steve, stay on

:29:29. > :29:40.this car here, please. Maybe it is Theresa May. There we go. Morning.

:29:41. > :29:47.Are you ready for this? Are you up to the task?

:29:48. > :30:07.No words for we humble hacks! That tells us something about the way she

:30:08. > :30:14.may be different from David Cameron, she will probably be much less media

:30:15. > :30:19.focused. She has never been one to pass on titbits to journalists, she

:30:20. > :30:24.is more restrained. And in terms of her Government generally there will

:30:25. > :30:27.be much less of a media focus, a chasing of headlines, than we saw in

:30:28. > :30:37.the Tony Blair years and which David Cameron picked up on. A different

:30:38. > :30:40.approach, a more small C Conservative, restrained approach.

:30:41. > :30:45.Bearing in mind that is the last time she will have to walk in the

:30:46. > :30:46.front door for Cabinet, because from tomorrow she will be living above

:30:47. > :30:55.the shop. We will be back with you soon,

:30:56. > :31:00.Norman. One viewer says, we need a woman's

:31:01. > :31:04.touch. Another says, her gender and age are irrelevant. Another tweet

:31:05. > :31:08.says, it is the democratic choice to vote on the EU and whether we stay

:31:09. > :31:13.in or not but not to choose our leader? I am confused!

:35:10. > :35:13.That Cabinet meeting chaired by David Cameron as Prime Minister for

:35:16. > :35:18.would love to be a fly on the wall. This morning we're at the heart

:35:19. > :35:20.of Westminster, just outside the House of Commons,

:35:21. > :35:34.up the road from Downing Street, And Theresa May is in that Cabinet

:35:35. > :35:42.meeting as Home Secretary for the last time. She has been Home

:35:43. > :35:46.Secretary for six years, she is 59 years old, the daughter of a vicar,

:35:47. > :35:49.she has an image for being unflappable and it is known that she

:35:50. > :35:51.has wanted to be Prime Minister for a while. How much do we know about

:35:52. > :35:52.her? In a moment we'll talk

:35:53. > :35:55.to two friends, but first, Let's talk now to Baroness Anne

:35:56. > :37:15.Jenkin, who is a colleague She founded the Conservative group

:37:16. > :37:22.Women2Win with Mrs May in 2005 to address the need to elect more

:37:23. > :37:26.Conservative women to Parliament, and Sam Olsen, who managed her 2005

:37:27. > :37:40.campaign for re-election. Welcome Bob W. What sort of a

:37:41. > :37:43.womanish? -- welcome both be. She is a serious, hard-working, capable

:37:44. > :37:48.woman, just what we want as Prime Minister. I have many anecdotes

:37:49. > :37:52.about her, I know her well, I have had many lunches with her, I would

:37:53. > :37:56.never gossip about her, I would get a hard stare from her if I tried.

:37:57. > :38:00.She does not do chat about the Westminster village, who is in or

:38:01. > :38:04.out, she takes like seriously. Would she have had a glass of champagne

:38:05. > :38:09.with her husband last night to celebrate that she will be Britain's

:38:10. > :38:14.next Prime Minister? I doubt it would be champagne, I think a glass

:38:15. > :38:17.of water, keep calm and carry on. Sam may know better because he has

:38:18. > :38:20.been her campaign manager and celebrated with her after she has

:38:21. > :38:24.won elections, I have celebrated with her for getting more women in

:38:25. > :38:32.parliament, but she is not a great drinker. She is not a great drinker

:38:33. > :38:36.but that does not detract from her, she is an incredible and outstanding

:38:37. > :38:41.woman, someone I really think will be a great leader. But the cool,

:38:42. > :38:44.calm exterior, perhaps someone that does not enjoy a party as much as

:38:45. > :38:49.some other people, does not mean she will be a bad brand minister,

:38:50. > :38:54.perhaps the opposite. What we need now is that cool, calm exterior but

:38:55. > :38:58.someone with an incredible warm, kind and generous spirit. How has

:38:59. > :39:03.that manifested itself in the time you have no her? She is very, very

:39:04. > :39:08.keen to look after people, she would hate me for saying it but almost

:39:09. > :39:12.like a mother hen. My own son, when we went round there before we moved

:39:13. > :39:17.to Hong Kong, she was looking after him, playing with him in a very

:39:18. > :39:22.motherly way, but also when you go out to the constituents she takes an

:39:23. > :39:25.active interest in making sure that people are doing well, looking after

:39:26. > :39:30.their issues, and you saw yesterday with her speech about a more

:39:31. > :39:33.inclusive Britain, that is, as far as I'm concerned, coming from her

:39:34. > :39:37.heart because it is the method I heard every single day, how do we

:39:38. > :39:45.make Britain better and look after people better? Almost too good to be

:39:46. > :39:48.true, possibly? I certainly cannot tell you any nasty stories about her

:39:49. > :39:52.because I don't know any and haven't heard any in the Westminster

:39:53. > :39:55.village. What I was touched by yesterday, I had a tweet from a

:39:56. > :40:00.woman saying, I have a letter she wrote to me in 2006 saying, keep

:40:01. > :40:05.going, we will find a way to get you in. Her support for women in

:40:06. > :40:13.Parliament, when she was elected she was one of 13 Conservative women

:40:14. > :40:19.MPs. In 1997. The same as 1931. Today we have 68, and a lot of those

:40:20. > :40:24.women, especially the 2010 cohort, the 2015 women belonged to me and

:40:25. > :40:28.2010 she, as Sam was saying, was the mother hen to them, always on the

:40:29. > :40:31.phone to them, encouraging, supporting, keeping them going at a

:40:32. > :40:34.time they might have felt disheartened or that the

:40:35. > :40:39.Conservative Party was not very welcoming to more women in its

:40:40. > :40:42.ranks. We have voters here who have voted for all sorts of parties and

:40:43. > :40:45.voted different ways in the EU referendum. You may have questions

:40:46. > :40:51.for people who know Theresa May well. At a time when we are talking

:40:52. > :40:56.about Brexit, overly concerned about domestic policies and the crisis

:40:57. > :41:02.going on in politics at the moment, I think we are forgetting about what

:41:03. > :41:08.is Mrs May's standing going to be in the world, outside of Europe, as a

:41:09. > :41:11.woman who has voted consistently for military intervention in

:41:12. > :41:16.Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, never with a plan afterwards and I

:41:17. > :41:19.want to know what kind of foreign policy credentials she had and how

:41:20. > :41:22.she will take the country forward in terms of our standing in the world,

:41:23. > :41:26.where will we be with the hundreds of thousands of migrants crossing

:41:27. > :41:31.the Mediterranean. That is a difficult question to answer because

:41:32. > :41:35.we know little... We know how she has voted but in terms of her views

:41:36. > :41:39.on foreign policy right now... She was not in charge of an after plan.

:41:40. > :41:44.With her in charge I am confident there would be an after plan. She

:41:45. > :41:47.has been in the Cabinet. But she has not been the defence or Foreign

:41:48. > :41:52.Secretary, involved in foreign policy. But I can imagine her on the

:41:53. > :41:56.world stage, I can imagine she would not let us down. She is a woman of

:41:57. > :41:59.substance, she would want to be involved in discussions with Angela

:42:00. > :42:04.Merkel, for example, I can imagine them doing business together. That

:42:05. > :42:10.business with -- that picture of David Cameron doing business on a

:42:11. > :42:13.lake with Angela Merkel, I can imagine, they will not be talking

:42:14. > :42:18.about getting their legs waxed, they will be getting down to the serious

:42:19. > :42:21.issues. A woman of substance, she promised to bring net migration down

:42:22. > :42:25.to the tens of thousands but has spectacularly failed on that, so is

:42:26. > :42:29.that worth bearing in mind or do we ignore that? Every politician will

:42:30. > :42:35.fail on something at some point. She kept making promise! She has

:42:36. > :42:39.succeeded in a great number of things, how many people succeeded in

:42:40. > :42:43.getting rid of Abu Hamza? How many people have taken on the police and

:42:44. > :42:47.succeeded? To your question, we don't know what will happen with

:42:48. > :42:53.foreign policy so until there is a new Foreign Secretary, but with her

:42:54. > :42:56.attention to detail and the fact that she understands the bigger

:42:57. > :43:01.picture and wants what is best for Britain, I'm sure she will make a

:43:02. > :43:07.good go of it. Introduce yourself? What do you normally do? I'm Chris,

:43:08. > :43:10.I would normally be in the office in Nottingham. Everybody sings the

:43:11. > :43:14.praises that she is a warm, lovely woman, which is fantastic, but she

:43:15. > :43:20.has a divisive immigration record, she sent vans around the capital

:43:21. > :43:23.city as in people to go home, she sent 45,000 international students

:43:24. > :43:29.once they had finished their degree, so how can we believe she is that

:43:30. > :43:34.warmth with this divisive policy? I think we are starting again with a

:43:35. > :43:40.fresh sheet. One thing that was clear from the Brexit vote is that

:43:41. > :43:44.we have got a very divided society. People are very concerned about this

:43:45. > :43:48.as an issue, nobody has asked anybody in this country from when

:43:49. > :43:51.the Labour Party started their mass immigration Project, is this the

:43:52. > :43:57.Britain you want to live in? This is a moment to take stock, to start

:43:58. > :44:02.again on immigration policy, knowing who is in this country, and she will

:44:03. > :44:10.get a group of it, I'm confident about it. I am Ricciardo, University

:44:11. > :44:13.of Surrey. Theresa May has proven that she has managed to unite the

:44:14. > :44:21.Conservative Party, but my worry is... It is early days, let's be

:44:22. > :44:25.fair! For now, at least! For today! My concern is that we have heard

:44:26. > :44:31.from Aaron Banks, one of the main donors for Ukip, that if Theresa May

:44:32. > :44:34.once then it would be Ukip on steroids, people disappointed that

:44:35. > :44:39.Brexit is not going the way they want and it will boost support for

:44:40. > :44:44.Ukip. Do you have any way to counter that narrative that Ukip will

:44:45. > :44:46.suddenly rise at the expense of the Conservative Party or other

:44:47. > :44:53.political parties in the current system? My own feeling is that you

:44:54. > :45:00.are right, the Ukip genie is out of the bottle bit. I think that when

:45:01. > :45:04.she says Brexit is Brexit, she means it, that is what people have voted

:45:05. > :45:10.for, she has to deliver on that or that is where Aaron Banks and the

:45:11. > :45:14.new Ukip party, whatever it will become, becomes really dangerous,

:45:15. > :45:17.and she knows that, she is a grown-up politician with a lot of

:45:18. > :45:22.experience, she knows the danger of not delivering, of letting people

:45:23. > :45:28.down again, and I think if she does that then he will not get any

:45:29. > :45:32.traction. But if not, and this is a danger more for Labour, really, in

:45:33. > :45:37.their traditional heartlands, Hartlepool voted 70% out, Doncaster,

:45:38. > :45:41.all these places that people feel neglected by the political class,

:45:42. > :45:44.and that is why I think her out reach yesterday was so important,

:45:45. > :45:49.that she was so clear she wants to change the way we do things. It will

:45:50. > :45:53.be different, I hope it will be reflecting the point she made

:45:54. > :45:56.yesterday. Thank you both, I am going to let you go, Sam Olsen and

:45:57. > :45:58.Baroness Jenkin, thank you for telling us what you can about

:45:59. > :46:08.Theresa May. Ken Clarke was doorstep earlier, he

:46:09. > :46:13.was caught on Mike inadvertently describing Theresa May as a bloody

:46:14. > :46:20.difficult woman, here is what he said not long ago.

:46:21. > :46:23.She will take a week or two to get a team together, to get everybody's

:46:24. > :46:27.head around what the negotiating position will be. 27 other

:46:28. > :46:35.governments will have their position. Negotiation will be given

:46:36. > :46:39.a date before we get there. I hope she can put in Article 50 after a

:46:40. > :46:45.few weeks of proper preparation and then get on with the relationships

:46:46. > :46:49.with the rest of Europe first, sort that out quickly, because the

:46:50. > :46:54.uncertainty is very damaging. You referred to her now is a difficult

:46:55. > :46:57.woman, is that the right reputation coming into what will be a difficult

:46:58. > :47:03.negotiation? We need a difficult woman. I did not compare her to

:47:04. > :47:11.Margaret Thatcher, I also said she was good, and I always get on with

:47:12. > :47:15.her all right. She is a different politician, different from Tony

:47:16. > :47:21.Blair and David Cameron. It is high time we had a tough, pragmatic

:47:22. > :47:24.politician. She is her own woman. That is a good quality, if you are

:47:25. > :47:29.going to be a Prime Minister at a time like this. What would be your

:47:30. > :47:33.advice in terms of building a cabinet, keeping the party together?

:47:34. > :47:38.I don't Incheon needs advice. My guess is she has her own strong

:47:39. > :47:48.views, she will know who she wants doing what, and she also has

:47:49. > :47:54.political skills. She has to have a mix of Remainers and Leavers. Her

:47:55. > :47:57.party is divided, she has a tiny majority, which is not big enough to

:47:58. > :48:05.do anything difficult over the next four years, unless you are very

:48:06. > :48:11.careful. Political skill, she has to put together a cabinet that covers

:48:12. > :48:15.the opinion's the spectrum of serious opinion, but you will put

:48:16. > :48:20.her own people in. We don't want another circus with another general

:48:21. > :48:24.election, arguing over the personalities. I can give you

:48:25. > :48:26.countless examples of prime ministers who become Prime Minister

:48:27. > :48:34.because they have got a firm elected Parliamentary majority. He don't

:48:35. > :48:39.have to have a general election. Sections of the media so enjoyed the

:48:40. > :48:42.ridiculous and terrible referendum campaign, they look forward to

:48:43. > :48:49.another three or four weeks of the same mayhem. No, Theresa May has a

:48:50. > :48:56.job to do, she will do it in her own way, and she has got to get back to

:48:57. > :49:00.governing a sophisticated, modern country, which is in something of a

:49:01. > :49:01.crisis. Things will get worse if we don't get somebody taking cold of

:49:02. > :49:13.the reins. Ken Clarke talking about that

:49:14. > :49:18.difficult woman, as he said, he also said she was good. This e-mail says,

:49:19. > :49:22.Theresa May claims she will be fair to the working people, the Tories

:49:23. > :49:30.will never do that. Craig says, she is not a fan of foreigners, she is a

:49:31. > :49:35.career politician, never really had a top job, voted to increase tuition

:49:41. > :49:47.Angela said, best woman for the job. Manic says, the wrong person to be

:49:48. > :49:51.Prime Minister. And so on, I have got loads of those. I will read as

:49:52. > :49:53.many as I can. Let's talk about the prospect of a general election.

:49:54. > :49:56."The Prime Minister is running scared of a general election."

:49:57. > :49:59.That was Theresa May's verdict on Gordon Brown when he failed

:50:00. > :50:01.to call a general election after taking over from

:50:02. > :50:07.Fast forward nine years and Theresa May is now resisting

:50:08. > :50:12.What's changed, though, since 2007 is a piece

:50:13. > :50:16.of legislation called the Fixed Terms Parliament Act,

:50:17. > :50:19.introduced in 2011 by David Cameron, which means general elections only

:50:20. > :50:22.take place every five years unless there is a vote of no

:50:23. > :50:26.confidence in the Government or two-thirds of MPs vote

:50:27. > :50:33.This century, including Theresa May there have been 24 Prime Ministers,

:50:34. > :50:43.half of whom were not elected after a general election.

:50:44. > :50:46.Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron believes an early general election

:50:47. > :50:48.is the only fair option for the British people.

:50:49. > :50:53.And also with us Conservative MP Ed Vaizey, who says his party

:50:54. > :50:58.will carry on business as usual with Teresa May in charge,

:50:59. > :51:03.so an early election is completely unnecessary.

:51:04. > :51:10.I don't think we need an election, we have been through the trauma of

:51:11. > :51:15.the referendum. Theresa May's appointment shows we need a period

:51:16. > :51:19.of stability. We won an election a year ago with a clear manifesto,

:51:20. > :51:25.which she will now implement, along with the difficulties of Brexit. The

:51:26. > :51:29.argument has got to be that her words are the answer that she has to

:51:30. > :51:37.now follow. Very different scenario now. In many ways identical. She was

:51:38. > :51:42.being crowned leader without there being an election, just like Gordon

:51:43. > :51:46.Brown. The difference is these are extreme circumstances, where the

:51:47. > :51:52.need for a fresh mandate is clear. There is an argument for an early

:51:53. > :51:55.election on that basis. I hear the argument about stability and the

:51:56. > :52:00.mandate given 14 months ago. The mandate 14 months ago was because of

:52:01. > :52:03.the ability or the thought that they were a competent ministration to

:52:04. > :52:07.look after the economy, they have just trashed it and made Norman

:52:08. > :52:12.Lamont look quite effective by comparison. There is a need for the

:52:13. > :52:16.Prime Minister to have a clear mandate as to what kind of religion

:52:17. > :52:23.should we have with Europe. People were not given the option to vote

:52:24. > :52:29.for it. We have a group of voters, most are Conservative supporters, we

:52:30. > :52:31.have some Labour and Ukip. Who would like in the next six months a

:52:32. > :52:40.general election? Who thinks it is necessary? Can I just say something?

:52:41. > :52:47.No, just answer the question first. Do you want a general election? Yes,

:52:48. > :52:53.I think I do. I think it would be democracy. Who wants the general

:52:54. > :52:59.election in 2020, when it is supposed to happen? Most of you. I

:53:00. > :53:03.have a different view. If Theresa May decides to step away from the

:53:04. > :53:13.manifesto, at that point we need a general election. I have never seen

:53:14. > :53:17.an elected Prime Minister. It is not a presidential system. When you

:53:18. > :53:20.elect your MP, you let them into Parliament, and the Government do

:53:21. > :53:28.the manifesto that they are supposed to do. At this stage, if we have a

:53:29. > :53:34.general election, she could be an opportunist, because I don't see 400

:53:35. > :53:39.plus MPs saying, yes, putting forward a vote of no-confidence. I

:53:40. > :53:45.don't see it happening. A snap general election is the worst threat

:53:46. > :53:51.to the Brexit vote. Tim Farron's party has a general -- golden

:53:52. > :53:58.opportunity, with the Labour Party in turmoil. I worked for the Leave

:53:59. > :54:02.campaign, I take a tiny and out of responsibility. If we were to have

:54:03. > :54:07.another election, it would increase the uncertainty. We should let

:54:08. > :54:13.things calm down. They said to hold off, perhaps in the next six months.

:54:14. > :54:17.Instead of a general election, why can't they put it to the

:54:18. > :54:26.Conservative members? What would be the point? To see if they agree with

:54:27. > :54:33.Theresa May stepping in. After all, she has got four fifths of the term

:54:34. > :54:36.to be Prime Minister. Tim Farron's political arguments are attractive

:54:37. > :54:42.as to why she needs a new mandate, but we need to look at the apartment

:54:43. > :54:45.is of the situation, the nation is divided, the markets are nervous.

:54:46. > :54:51.The prospect of having another, vision Government, more months of

:54:52. > :54:54.uncertainty and wrangling and horse trading around which mandate would

:54:55. > :55:03.be adopted, we have seen it before, do we need six general, sorry, three

:55:04. > :55:08.general elections in six years? This is the uncertainty you get with

:55:09. > :55:19.these single party Government, we crave the stability of coalition! I

:55:20. > :55:23.also point out, you talked about she has a mandate from a year ago, have

:55:24. > :55:29.things changed? I would argue they have. The 52% have a right to expect

:55:30. > :55:34.that the Government's process is towards Brexit, but nobody was asked

:55:35. > :55:40.what kind of religion should you want with Europe going forward. Some

:55:41. > :55:44.will want an isolationist stance, some want almost everything except

:55:45. > :55:50.being in the EU, where does Theresa May argue for? Before you answer

:55:51. > :55:56.that, let's go back to Downing Street.

:55:57. > :56:01.We just saw Ruth Davidson, the Scottish Tory leader, arriving.

:56:02. > :56:05.Interesting, not just because she is late, but what is the significance

:56:06. > :56:11.of her coming to this cabinet? She was one of the big voices on the

:56:12. > :56:13.Remain side in the referendum campaign, many people thought she

:56:14. > :56:20.dominated the last Wembley Arena debate, when she was coughing Boris

:56:21. > :56:24.Johnson left, right and centre, and had a good go at Andrea Leadsom

:56:25. > :56:29.after the remarks about whether being a mother gave you an advantage

:56:30. > :56:32.as a politician. She got stuck into Andrea Leadsom for making those

:56:33. > :56:40.remarks. There might be speculation about could she made the geek's

:56:41. > :56:45.maybe be given a post down here? It is interesting she is here, albeit

:56:46. > :56:53.her plane was delayed, because she has turned up half an hour late.

:56:54. > :56:57.Norman with us through the morning, popping up from Downing Street to

:56:58. > :57:03.tell us who is walking in the front door of number ten. Ruth Davidson, a

:57:04. > :57:09.colleague of yours. Why do you think that might be? I have no idea. She

:57:10. > :57:13.is down for the lobby lunch, lunching with political journalists,

:57:14. > :57:21.maybe she is paying a courtesy call for thanking the Prime Minister. I

:57:22. > :57:26.want to talk about the Cabinet meeting. You were backing Michael

:57:27. > :57:32.Gove in the leadership race for the Conservative Party leader. We know

:57:33. > :57:35.what happened there. How is he? He is in good heart, I saw him last

:57:36. > :57:40.night, he seemed chipper. Like the rest of the party, he is supportive

:57:41. > :57:48.of Theresa May now she is becoming our Prime Minister. Does he feel he

:57:49. > :57:53.has imploded? He find it interesting that he is now a byword for

:57:54. > :57:57.betrayal, because he did not betray anybody, he fought for a principle,

:57:58. > :58:02.leading the EU. Does he understand the people who say he is a political

:58:03. > :58:06.assassin? The understand things have not been brilliant, but he is ready

:58:07. > :58:12.to serve Theresa May, if that is what she wants, and he is supportive

:58:13. > :58:14.of the new Government. In terms of a general election, it will not

:58:15. > :58:21.happen, despite your best efforts, is it? I understand the briefing

:58:22. > :58:29.that have come out of the prospective number ten, that is what

:58:30. > :58:33.they say at this point. The case for there being one is hugely important.

:58:34. > :58:38.Particularly important that the people get to decide what kind of

:58:39. > :58:43.relationship the UK has with our partners going forward. Without an

:58:44. > :58:46.election of any kind until 2020, we could have jumped out of the plane

:58:47. > :58:50.without a parachute, not having had the chance to decide what kind of

:58:51. > :58:55.parachute, economic area or something else, we have in the

:58:56. > :59:00.intervening period. It seems to be anti-democratic. Nobody has been

:59:01. > :59:01.given any mandate for that kind of decision, that is why the public

:59:02. > :59:17.should have their say. You are bathed in sunshine there, we

:59:18. > :59:21.are not all like that. We have this picture from Gloucestershire of

:59:22. > :59:25.showers. We have showers across western Scotland, Northern Ireland,

:59:26. > :59:29.the driest conditions across northern England and eastern

:59:30. > :59:34.Scotland. The showers will drift east through the day, some of them

:59:35. > :59:37.will be torrential and thundery. The risk of localised flooding for the

:59:38. > :59:42.Midlands, East Anglia and the south-east. Tonight the showers

:59:43. > :59:48.merge in the south-east, so they will be heavier. Behind them, a

:59:49. > :59:50.clearance in the sky, a lot of dry weather, and showers coming into the

:59:51. > :00:03.West, loan in on a breeze. Tomorrow, we start with this rain in

:00:04. > :00:08.the south-east. It moves away through the morning. For many, it

:00:09. > :00:10.will be dry with sunshine, that there will also be showers. You

:00:11. > :00:15.could almost catch a shower anywhere. The driest conditions will

:00:16. > :00:16.be in the south-west. The temperatures will feel quite

:00:17. > :00:34.pleasant. Theresa May is the new leader of the

:00:35. > :00:37.Conservative Party and will be Britain's new Prime Minister by

:00:38. > :00:41.tomorrow night. Those who know her have been telling us what to expect.

:00:42. > :00:45.She is a different type of politician, different from the Tony

:00:46. > :00:48.Blair, David Cameron mould, and I think it is time for a tough,

:00:49. > :00:52.pragmatic politician. She's not going into this with her eyes

:00:53. > :00:56.closed, her eyes are wide open in relation to the challenges, and she

:00:57. > :01:06.is somebody up to the scale of the challenge. She can be quite

:01:07. > :01:09.disciplined and focused but warm as well, and I think she has got so

:01:10. > :01:12.many skills that will appeal to so many different people, and we can be

:01:13. > :01:14.optimistic about this. This is a moment to take stock, start again on

:01:15. > :01:19.our immigration policy, know who is in the country, and she will get a

:01:20. > :01:22.grip of it, I'm confident about it. We are at Westminster this morning,

:01:23. > :01:28.and later in the programme we will hear from an audience of voters who

:01:29. > :01:33.will debate David Cameron's legacy at Prime Minister, but how would you

:01:34. > :01:43.sum it up in one word? Unfair, disappointing? Slimy. Moderate.

:01:44. > :01:47.Pragmatic. Thank you very much for those

:01:48. > :01:51.adjectives! We will talk more to our voters later in the programme, David

:01:52. > :01:54.Cameron holding his last ever Cabinet meeting as Prime Minister

:01:55. > :02:00.right now and Theresa May currently planning her first ever Cabinet.

:02:01. > :02:05.The clock is ticking for Mrs May as she has just 48 hours to shape a new

:02:06. > :02:15.Government and decide whether to keep or call the beasts.

:02:16. > :02:20.Here's Joanna with a summary of the day's news.

:02:21. > :02:22.David Cameron is chairing his final Cabinet meeting this morning,

:02:23. > :02:26.before Theresa May takes over as Prime Minister tomorrow.

:02:46. > :02:48.in Labour's leadership race will be made by officials today.

:05:24. > :05:26.they are not going, instead of using another excuse. If you are an

:06:22. > :06:27.Welcome to the programme, you join us at a very sunny Westminster. We

:06:28. > :06:29.have a group of voters here talking about the momentous events of the

:06:30. > :06:34.last couple of weeks and the fact that we have not only a new leader

:06:35. > :06:37.of the Conservative Party but, from tomorrow night, a new Prime

:06:38. > :06:40.Minister. I don't know if you agree with this but do you remember at

:06:41. > :06:44.primary school when it was really hot in the summer and your teacher

:06:45. > :06:47.would let you have a lesson outside?! There is that sort of

:06:48. > :06:53.Keady feeling amongst you, if you don't mind me saying so! Perhaps a

:06:54. > :06:57.parochial analogy when we consider the importance of what is happening

:06:58. > :07:01.in Downing Street, one of the most important jobs facing Theresa May in

:07:02. > :07:05.the next 36 hours or so before she officially takes over at Number Ten

:07:06. > :07:11.is which Conservative MPs to include in her new Cabinet. No doubt pretty

:07:12. > :07:15.much every single ambitious MP is telling her why they think they

:07:16. > :07:19.should be included. So who will she reward? Lets talk to our political

:07:20. > :07:23.Guru, Norman, who is trying to work it out.

:07:24. > :07:31.The key thing to understand at this moment is that this is a moment of

:07:32. > :07:35.maximum power for Theresa May, when she can do what she wants, mistress

:07:36. > :07:39.of all she surveys, she can boot everyone out of the Cabinet or keep

:07:40. > :07:44.everyone in. So this is the time when she can totally reshape the

:07:45. > :07:49.Government. Move out some of the key players, bring in new names. What

:07:50. > :07:53.might we expect? A lot of focus inevitably on the Chancellor, George

:07:54. > :07:55.Osborne. Listening to what Mrs May has said so far, most people think

:07:56. > :08:23.he is on the move, because she was critical of his lack of fundamental

:08:24. > :08:25.reform of the economy in her speech yesterday, and there is a pew that

:08:26. > :08:28.Mr Osborne has been there and all long time, there have been some

:08:29. > :08:30.pretty significant gaps, look at the row recently over disability

:08:31. > :08:32.benefits, over tax credits, so he could maybe be after the Foreign

:08:33. > :08:35.Office. Who could replace in? The smart money is on Philip Hammond,

:08:36. > :08:37.the Foreign Secretary, thought to be good with money, a safe pair of

:08:38. > :08:40.hands, he has been Chief Secretary to the Treasury before. When he was

:08:41. > :08:43.Defence Secretary he got a hold of the defence Budget, which was

:08:44. > :08:45.thought to be an unholy horror. What else is of interest in this Cabinet

:08:46. > :08:48.shake-up? Of course, one Boris Johnson of London. What will happen

:08:49. > :08:52.to him? Will he be bought in all cast into the wilderness? There are

:08:53. > :08:57.people on both sides of the divide, some who think you could be given a

:08:58. > :09:02.job as party chairman, cheer up the party faithful. Others think the way

:09:03. > :09:06.he behaved, the treachery, which it is claimed he showed to David

:09:07. > :09:10.Cameron, means it is time for him to be stabbed in the back and

:09:11. > :09:14.dispatched. Another prominent Brexiteer, all eyes on Michael Gove,

:09:15. > :09:19.we saw him speaking into Cabinet, parked the car in front of Number

:09:20. > :09:23.Ten so we could not get a decent shout at him. Might he be sent

:09:24. > :09:27.hither? There is a view that Theresa May might want to keep him in his

:09:28. > :09:32.current post as Justice Secretary to finish the job of prison reform,

:09:33. > :09:37.regarded as one of the big outstanding reforms no Government

:09:38. > :09:44.has really got to grips with. Lastly, let's talk about Brexit,

:09:45. > :09:47.because Mrs May has said she will create a Brexit minister to

:09:48. > :09:52.mastermind our departure from the EU, and she said it will go to a

:09:53. > :09:58.Brexiteer. The cast list is narrowed down. Could it be Chris Grayling? He

:09:59. > :10:03.was her campaign manager, viewed by many as having fought a rather

:10:04. > :10:08.adroit referendum campaign, did not get involved in the argy-bargy, he

:10:09. > :10:13.seemed to stress a rather more level-headed approach which might

:10:14. > :10:19.appeal to Mrs May. Also worth suggesting Liam Fox. How so? Liam

:10:20. > :10:23.Fox introduced Mrs May at her launch, her aborted launch speech

:10:24. > :10:28.yesterday, and came out in favour of her when he was knocked out of the

:10:29. > :10:32.leadership contest, a prominent Brexiteer who have also been Defence

:10:33. > :10:37.Secretary, perhaps he could be Mr Brexit. The last person, possibly,

:10:38. > :10:42.David Davis, another big name on the Tory Brexit side, he, too, came out

:10:43. > :10:48.in favour of Mrs May. What is interesting about him is that he has

:10:49. > :10:57.had so many tussles with Mrs May over civil liberties issues, it

:10:58. > :10:59.would be seen as an act of reconciliation, binding the party

:11:00. > :11:02.together were she to bring him in. But let me say, trying to pick the

:11:03. > :11:05.runners and riders is one big fat mug 's game because, really, the

:11:06. > :11:11.only person who knows what is going to happen is Theresa May.

:11:12. > :11:17.Absolutely right there. Let's hear more from Chris Grayling, Theresa

:11:18. > :11:19.May's campaign manager, famously eight lever whereas Mrs May is a

:11:20. > :11:25.Remainer. It came as a bit of surprise to all

:11:26. > :11:29.of us, I think Andrea did the right thing given the fact that two months

:11:30. > :11:33.of uncertainty would not have helped the country but yesterday morning

:11:34. > :11:38.was a surprise to all of us. How unprepared is Theresa May for her

:11:39. > :11:41.new role as Prime Minister? She's not unprepared, she is stepping up

:11:42. > :11:45.after six years as Home Secretary and did we think about the prime

:11:46. > :11:48.ministerial responsibilities number one most of the time is security and

:11:49. > :12:01.she has been steeped in that for years. She also has the task of the

:12:02. > :12:05.European Union and the process of leaving it on her desk as well but I

:12:06. > :12:07.think she is as well prepared as anybody could be for the job. Her

:12:08. > :12:10.first job is to give out Cabinet jobs, you will be promoted,

:12:11. > :12:13.presumably? I was clear when I offered to chair her campaign, I did

:12:14. > :12:15.not want a job offer, I would not have voted for somebody who was

:12:16. > :12:20.dispensing job offers. But would you like to be chief Brexit negotiator?

:12:21. > :12:26.What I do, if I do, is down to her, and the important thing now, we are

:12:27. > :12:30.Conservatives again, not Levers or Remainers, and it is for her to pick

:12:31. > :12:36.the best people for the jobs. How does she unite Great Britain, if it

:12:37. > :12:39.is possible? By being as thoughtful leader, pursuing the one nation

:12:40. > :12:43.agenda that is part of what we are trying to G that the moment,

:12:44. > :12:47.bringing a new dimension to that, making sure the process of leaving

:12:48. > :12:50.the EU is done sensibly and carefully with national interest top

:12:51. > :12:53.of the mind and being a strong, smart leader, and that is what she

:12:54. > :12:57.will do. Chris Grayling talking to us earlier

:12:58. > :13:00.before ashing to the Cabinet meeting. We will have a new Prime

:13:01. > :13:06.Minister tomorrow night, what happens to the old one?

:13:07. > :13:08.It's not yet clear when David Cameron will vacate Number Ten,

:13:09. > :13:10.or whether he'll say anything outside Downing Street

:13:11. > :13:13.Here's how previous Prime Ministers have done it.

:13:14. > :13:21.Good afternoon, Prime Minister! Where there is discord, may we bring

:13:22. > :13:25.harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is

:13:26. > :13:31.doubt, may we bring faith. Where there is despair, may we bring hope.

:13:32. > :13:36.Ladies and gentlemen, we are leaving Downing Street for the last time

:13:37. > :13:43.after 11.5 wonderful years, and we are very happy that we leave the

:13:44. > :13:54.United Kingdom in a very, very much better state than when we came here

:13:55. > :13:58.11.5 years ago. It is a very exciting thing to

:13:59. > :14:01.become leader of the Conservative Party, and particularly exciting to

:14:02. > :14:05.follow one of the most remarkable leaders the Conservative Party has

:14:06. > :14:09.ever had. When the curtain falls, it is time

:14:10. > :14:14.to get off the stage, and that is what I propose to do. I shall,

:14:15. > :14:18.therefore, ad buys my Parliamentary colleagues that I believe that it

:14:19. > :14:22.would be appropriate for them to consider the selection of a new

:14:23. > :14:25.leader of the Conservative Party to lead the party through opposition

:14:26. > :14:30.during the years that might immediately ahead -- the years that

:14:31. > :14:55.lie ahead. I have just accepted the invitation

:14:56. > :15:00.of Her Majesty The Queen to form a Government. This will be a new

:15:01. > :15:05.Government with new priorities. Only those who have held the office

:15:06. > :15:10.of Prime Minister can understand the full weight of its responsibilities

:15:11. > :15:14.and its great capacity for good. I have been privileged to learn much

:15:15. > :15:21.about the very best in human nature, and a fair amount about its

:15:22. > :15:25.frailties, including my own. Her Majesty The Queen has asked me

:15:26. > :15:30.to form a new Government, and I have accepted.

:15:31. > :15:32.On Wednesday, I will attend the House of Commons for Prime

:15:33. > :15:36.Minister's Questions, and then after that I expect to go to the palace

:15:37. > :15:39.and offer my resignation, so you will have the new Prime Minister in

:15:40. > :15:48.that building behind me by Wednesday evening. Thank you very much.

:15:49. > :15:52.HE HUMS A JUNE. So what kind of legacy

:15:53. > :15:55.will David Cameron leave behind? Let's speak to Jim Waterson,

:15:56. > :15:57.who's political editor of Buzzfeed, Isabel Hardman, deputy editor

:15:58. > :16:00.of the Conservative-supporting political magazine The Spectator,

:16:01. > :16:01.and Anushka Asthana, the political editor

:16:02. > :16:16.of The Guardian newspaper. What was he coming? Classic FM did

:16:17. > :16:23.an analysis, my favourite was a copycat of an Alan Partridge clip.

:16:24. > :16:27.What would you say about his legacy? If you had written it a year ago,

:16:28. > :16:33.the first Prime Minister to win a Conservative majority in 20 years,

:16:34. > :16:39.setting out your nice handover, and now it just will be Europe, in the

:16:40. > :16:45.same way that Tony Blair is Iraq. Would you agree? Yes, it is sad for

:16:46. > :16:52.him that everybody willing him to the EU. What he wanted was to wake

:16:53. > :16:57.up to a Remain vote and unroll his life chances strategy that has been

:16:58. > :17:01.going on, led by the Department for Work and Pensions. I remember text

:17:02. > :17:06.in one of his strategists, he said, ask the right wing of the

:17:07. > :17:10.Conservative Party. You say it is sad, but David Cameron offered the

:17:11. > :17:14.country a referendum. It was a way of managing his own party. He did

:17:15. > :17:20.not follow through with an affective renegotiation. He said last year he

:17:21. > :17:24.thought his legacy would be fixing the economy, solving the question of

:17:25. > :17:31.Scotland and the question of Britain within Europe. That is looking

:17:32. > :17:36.pretty good! Lets put Europe to one side, which nobody will, in terms of

:17:37. > :17:43.history. What else should we look at in terms of his legacy? He has

:17:44. > :17:47.brought in some interesting social reforms, on education he brought in

:17:48. > :17:50.same-sex marriage as well, even though it was hugely bruising for

:17:51. > :17:56.his party, he pursued it. But Europe will dominate, and it will be

:17:57. > :18:00.difficult for him to forge the life chances legacy he was hoping to

:18:01. > :18:07.pursue. How different will Theresa May's Premiership be? Had you asked

:18:08. > :18:11.me when she was Home Secretary, I would have said some of the Liberal

:18:12. > :18:14.Democrats described her as pretty socially Conservative, they would

:18:15. > :18:19.have said barely a liberal on lots of things, but she did a speech

:18:20. > :18:23.yesterday, it was supposed to be the start of the leadership battle, but

:18:24. > :18:26.then we realised it was the speech of a minister, and it sounded a bit

:18:27. > :18:31.like Ed Miliband, it was about workers' right. I spoke to the

:18:32. > :18:36.deputy chair of the Tories, he said it is going after the Labour votes

:18:37. > :18:41.whilst Labour are in trouble. Will David Cameron be pleased it is

:18:42. > :18:45.Theresa May taking over? Is she a continuity candidate, or are we

:18:46. > :18:50.lulled into a false sense of the director? More pleased than if

:18:51. > :18:56.Andrea Leadsom had taken over, along with most of the parliamentary

:18:57. > :18:59.party. She has more chance of protecting his legacy. The main

:19:00. > :19:06.thing is the economic approach, we don't know where she will go. The

:19:07. > :19:12.talk of putting people on board. It is an indication of Ed Miliband in

:19:13. > :19:18.some ways, some of his policies creeping in. We don't know about her

:19:19. > :19:21.economy, because there was not a leadership contest, we have not been

:19:22. > :19:27.able to scrutinise or ask those kind of questions. There are huge gaps in

:19:28. > :19:31.what she thinks. We are going to get to know her as Prime Minister,

:19:32. > :19:34.because there was not a leadership contest, but we have not been able

:19:35. > :19:40.to scrutinise her record as Home Secretary either. There was no

:19:41. > :19:44.chance for her opponents to point out that she failed to meet one of

:19:45. > :19:49.her key targets, the net migration target, which she is still committed

:19:50. > :19:54.to. We have talked about that with voters, it was an issue for them. In

:19:55. > :20:01.terms of your new cabinet, this is really important for her, trying to

:20:02. > :20:05.bring the party together, which is essential for a new Prime Minister.

:20:06. > :20:14.Who will she give jobs to? This is the worst question in politics now!

:20:15. > :20:17.I do quite like Philip Hammond to the Treasury, that seems to make

:20:18. > :20:23.sense. He could be her new Chancellor. I I'm not sure about a

:20:24. > :20:28.job for Boris, I don't see how you could give him something that major.

:20:29. > :20:35.I will leave that one. Can you reflect on the last two and a half

:20:36. > :20:40.weeks or so? My goodness. It has been more packed than the rest of my

:20:41. > :20:45.career, it has been moving at triple speed. If it continues, we will have

:20:46. > :20:49.had five ministers -- five prime ministers by the end of next week.

:20:50. > :20:53.Everybody has been possessed by their own careers, it has not been

:20:54. > :20:58.about the Government and about what happens to this country after

:20:59. > :21:01.Brexit. Jeremy Corbyn refusing to budge, ministers campaigning for one

:21:02. > :21:07.another, maybe now we will start to think about what happens to written

:21:08. > :21:11.now it has voted to leave the EU. We hardly talking the impact of Brexit,

:21:12. > :21:16.and there are loads of big impacts that will take place. It has been

:21:17. > :21:21.like an episode of house of cards, it is a better script than they came

:21:22. > :21:26.up with. I am sorry, I will come back, because Norman is at Downing

:21:27. > :21:29.Street. Cabinet is finishing, I calculate

:21:30. > :21:37.that is 50 minutes or so, much shorter than usual, but there is not

:21:38. > :21:44.a vast amount to discuss today. We can see if there are any tribute to

:21:45. > :21:52.David Cameron for his time. Speaking to his folk... Were there any

:21:53. > :21:55.tributes to Mr Cameron? This must be the new Theresa May way of doing

:21:56. > :22:02.things, people don't talk to us any more! Let's see if we can get

:22:03. > :22:05.anybody else to talk. David Cameron's team said he would do a

:22:06. > :22:09.valedictory statement at the start of the cabinet meeting, reflecting

:22:10. > :22:16.on the past five years or so, and then the expectation was that there

:22:17. > :22:21.would be tributes from other Cabinet ministers, reflecting on the

:22:22. > :22:25.challenges and achievements. Of course, alongside being a poignant

:22:26. > :22:32.moment, everyone's attention is shifting to Theresa May. Trying to

:22:33. > :22:36.think what she is thinking, whether everybody will still be around the

:22:37. > :22:42.table, or if it is the final time in Cabinet. That will form part of the

:22:43. > :22:47.dynamic of the occasion. It will have been quite a poignant moment,

:22:48. > :22:50.who would have predicted this? A year ago David Cameron sailed in

:22:51. > :22:52.triumphant having clawed his party from the brick of a hung parliament.

:22:53. > :23:06.Were there any tributes? It is be staying mum school of

:23:07. > :23:11.politics, we are not having much joy today. We will see if anybody who is

:23:12. > :23:16.more chatty comes out. I am sure there would have been some sort of

:23:17. > :23:19.tribute. We will get more tomorrow, when we have Prime Minister's

:23:20. > :23:24.Questions, Mr Cameron will take it. It will be more of a personal

:23:25. > :23:29.statement, we saw it when Tony Blair and others did their final session.

:23:30. > :23:34.It is a chance for them to adopt a much lighter approach. We will get

:23:35. > :23:39.more on Mr Cameron's farewell tomorrow, alongside today's final

:23:40. > :23:43.Cabinet. A valiant effort at shouting out

:23:44. > :23:49.questions as they leave the Cabinet meeting. Sorry, I interrupted you,

:23:50. > :23:53.reflecting on events. We cannot swear, there has been lots of

:23:54. > :23:57.swearing in there. Significant moment for the Labour Party, and

:23:58. > :24:01.then we are not interested, because we are about to get a Prime

:24:02. > :24:06.Minister. I think he was humming The West Wing, or Black beauty. That is

:24:07. > :24:12.a new one! We will talk about Labour in a moment. I want to ask our

:24:13. > :24:19.voters, in terms of Mr Cameron's legacy, what would you say? I would

:24:20. > :24:22.say it is cross-party working, he has worked with the Liberal

:24:23. > :24:28.Democrats, and with the Labour Party on a broad range of parties --

:24:29. > :24:34.things such as the gay marriage bill. You are a Labour supporter. It

:24:35. > :24:39.does not matter what you say, I come from a different party, but he let

:24:40. > :24:44.the British people decide their own future by giving us a referendum,

:24:45. > :24:49.and I will be grateful for that. Whenever I am asked about his

:24:50. > :24:55.legacy... Whenever you are asked about it? Do people ask you? I am

:24:56. > :25:00.reminded of the note he was left from his first day in office, I'm

:25:01. > :25:04.afraid there is no money left. Two and the -- to turn the economy

:25:05. > :25:09.around, making cuts, the hard decisions have been to his credit.

:25:10. > :25:12.And he has been progressive, lifting bans on women serving in the

:25:13. > :25:16.military, reforming adoption, and gay marriage. But he has wiped away

:25:17. > :25:24.the good work by calling a referendum. The economic benefit,

:25:25. > :25:30.the triple the economy, it was wiped off in days after the referendum.

:25:31. > :25:34.His legacy is project the. By now we are supposed to be having the third

:25:35. > :25:39.World War, because the country voted to leave, and this is what he did

:25:40. > :25:42.all the way through as a Prime Minister, he should have been

:25:43. > :25:47.independent, and he would still be Prime Minister now. He will be

:25:48. > :25:53.remembered as a manager, somebody who has held onto things, a Stuart,

:25:54. > :25:57.to make sure Britain goes from the financial crisis, through the

:25:58. > :26:04.challenges Fred, deal with Scotland and Europe, lead things in a way and

:26:05. > :26:08.solve things. He took a gamble and it did not turn out the way he

:26:09. > :26:15.wanted. We will come back to you in a second. This e-mail from Alex, it

:26:16. > :26:21.does not matter about Theresa May being a woman, it is another leader

:26:22. > :26:27.that is a smart leader. As long as she gets the Brexit over and done

:26:28. > :26:30.with, I will be happy. Richard says, she will bring much-needed stability

:26:31. > :26:37.and calm, so no general election, please. This from Tammy, Theresa May

:26:38. > :26:40.will win the trust of the financial markets and big business, we need to

:26:41. > :26:43.stabilise Government, though, before another general election.

:26:44. > :26:45.Whilst all eyes are on the new Conservative leader

:26:46. > :26:48.and Prime Minister in waiting, Labour is still continuing to riddle

:26:49. > :26:51.The BBC's seen a solicitor's letter which threatens legal action

:26:52. > :26:54.against the governing body of the Labour Party if Jeremy

:26:55. > :27:02.Corbyn's prevented from contesting a leadership challenge.

:27:03. > :27:14.Margaret Hodge is here. Come on, we were regretting the fact we could

:27:15. > :27:21.not talk about Labour, so now is the opportunity. Have you seen this

:27:22. > :27:28.letter? No. Jeremy Corbyn will be on the ballot paper. I don't know. Take

:27:29. > :27:33.it a day at a time. I take a common-sense view. If you are a

:27:34. > :27:37.leader of the Labour Party, you have to have the confidence of the

:27:38. > :27:40.Parliamentary Labour Party, that is the group you are leading as a

:27:41. > :27:46.potential Government, and if you have lost the confidence of 80% of

:27:47. > :27:50.them, if you cannot even form an opposition administration because

:27:51. > :27:54.people are not willing to serve with you, if even the elected deputy

:27:55. > :27:59.leader says it is time you go, it is really difficult to move forward.

:28:00. > :28:05.The role that we have got that says you have to have about 20% of the

:28:06. > :28:09.MPs saying they are supported, it is common sense, given the role you

:28:10. > :28:14.have to play. He will be on the ballot paper, he may well the Angela

:28:15. > :28:21.Eagle and or Owen Smith. I don't agree. Who will beat him? I saw

:28:22. > :28:27.Angela yesterday launching her campaign. It was interrupted, that

:28:28. > :28:30.of the moment when Andrea Leadsom decided she was going to withdraw

:28:31. > :28:35.from the Conservative leadership contest. Angela Eagle gave a

:28:36. > :28:43.fantastically powerful performance, she is a strong, gutsy, witty woman.

:28:44. > :28:50.That may be true, but those party members come 20 of them want Jeremy

:28:51. > :28:57.Corbyn still. In terms of Labour's woes the moment, what are you

:28:58. > :29:00.thinking? Lot of Labour MPs say that in their local parties those who

:29:01. > :29:05.voted for Jeremy Corbyn are starting to say, we still think he is a

:29:06. > :29:12.decent man, but he can't lead. But this is anecdotal, we don't know how

:29:13. > :29:14.far it goes. There has been a huge surge in membership. People are not

:29:15. > :29:21.sure where it is coming from. There is another's there may have been a

:29:22. > :29:25.shift, even his allies say it is 50-50 whether he would win again. If

:29:26. > :29:30.he did, it would be difficult for the party. If he wins, I can't see

:29:31. > :29:37.where the party goes and where the MPs go.

:29:38. > :29:41.A day at a time. The first time you said that was a week and a half ago,

:29:42. > :29:46.he is still the leader. It takes time, we have to go through this

:29:47. > :29:51.process, but I agree, people who supported him a year ago do feel

:29:52. > :29:56.that he has not shown... He has been given the privilege to stand as our

:29:57. > :30:02.leader, he has failed in that in all sorts of ways. At the last election,

:30:03. > :30:16.over 9 million people to form a Government. We it to those

:30:17. > :30:19.9.5 million people, and that was the lowest Labour turnout for a

:30:20. > :30:24.generation, so we need to attract more people. It is a really serious

:30:25. > :30:29.time in British politics, with the Brexit vote, and negotiating

:30:30. > :30:34.something. It is our people who are likely to be the ones to suffer

:30:35. > :30:39.most, or could suffer most, if we don't get the Brexit strategy right.

:30:40. > :30:42.This is the time we need a stronger leader, and we need to build the

:30:43. > :30:49.support for Labour on the doorstep. Jeremy does not have it. Angela

:30:50. > :30:51.Eagle, another woman, would have it. I think it is brilliant that we have

:30:52. > :30:59.more women in the front line. No-one will disagree with that but

:31:00. > :31:05.how do you view the fact that Labour have never had it been a leader but

:31:06. > :31:09.the Conservatives have had two the Mall Prime Minister 's? I think it

:31:10. > :31:13.is terrible! Labour has always been the party that has promoted

:31:14. > :31:20.equality. We have done more to get... I know! So it is about time

:31:21. > :31:26.we had a woman leader. Angela Eagle is a woman but also has it all, she

:31:27. > :31:31.is bright, intelligent, experienced, she is a unity candidate. She was so

:31:32. > :31:36.funny yesterday, people say she has this dour exterior but she is a

:31:37. > :31:39.serious politician, she is bedded in her values, she would make a great

:31:40. > :31:47.leader of the Labour Party, a serious opposition person who would,

:31:48. > :31:51.I think, defend, we need a strong opposition at this time, and finally

:31:52. > :31:58.a brilliant woman Prime Minister for the Labour Party. Thank you for your

:31:59. > :32:02.time this morning. We have got about half an hour left

:32:03. > :32:07.in the programme, we will hear more from our voters and more comments

:32:08. > :32:08.from you as you watch. Your views on Theresa May very welcome. Time for

:32:09. > :32:12.the news with Joanna. David Cameron is chairing his final

:32:13. > :32:15.Cabinet meeting this morning, before Theresa May takes over

:32:16. > :32:25.as Prime Minister tomorrow. Mrs May, the Prime Minister

:36:20. > :36:23.half an hour, Theresa May has said Brexit means Brexit, but what does

:36:24. > :36:27.it mean? We will discuss that in a second. She has also promised to

:36:42. > :36:44.We have got a hand that has been up for ages, Roger.

:36:47. > :36:49.I think it depends on who the person is, I don't think there will be

:37:40. > :37:47.and obviously I think they have made the right choice tonight.

:37:48. > :37:49.One of the most dangerous human emotions is

:37:50. > :37:57.Today, the world is not a safer place, it is a more uncertain place,

:37:58. > :38:26.There is a lot we need to do in this party of ours.

:38:27. > :38:28.Our base is too narrow, and so, occasionally,

:38:29. > :38:38.I know that is unfair, you know that's unfair,

:38:39. > :39:06.but it is the people out there that we need to convince.

:39:07. > :39:09.If you do not change of your own accord,

:39:10. > :39:36.I am honoured and humbled to have been chosen by the Conservative

:39:37. > :39:46.Brexit means Brexit, and we are going to

:39:47. > :39:50.Second, we need to unite our country, and third, we need

:39:51. > :39:54.a strong, new positive vision for the future of our country,

:39:55. > :39:59.a vision of a country that works not for the privileged few but that

:40:00. > :40:03.works for every one of us because we are going to give people

:40:04. > :40:19.That is how, together, we will build a better Britain.

:40:20. > :40:22.Theresa May has promised that "Brexit means Brexit", but how

:40:23. > :40:34.When will she trigger Article 50, the now famous piece of legislation

:40:35. > :40:35.which we mention every day at the moment, which paves the way for the

:40:36. > :40:40.UK to leave the EU? Now divorce is on the cards,

:40:41. > :40:43.what happens next? Well, it could be messy and it

:40:44. > :40:47.could take some time. First things first, remember that

:40:48. > :40:50.deal David Cameron struck I believe that this is enough for me

:40:51. > :40:56.to recommend that the United Kingdom Instead we will be hearing

:40:57. > :41:07.a lot about this. When the Article 50

:41:08. > :41:12.process is triggered... Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty sets

:41:13. > :41:15.out how a country can leave the EU. It gives a deadline,

:41:16. > :41:22.two years to negotiate a break-up and that is it,

:41:23. > :41:25.although it can be extended Once the wheels are in motion,

:41:26. > :41:31.the UK is not allowed to take part We would then have 24

:41:32. > :41:38.months to negotiate The key question is,

:41:39. > :41:46.what taxes and restrictions, if any, What will happen to EU

:41:47. > :41:51.workers inside the UK, and what happens to the 1.2 million

:41:52. > :41:54.British citizens living At the same time we can start

:41:55. > :42:08.to disentangle 40 years of EU law from our own British law, so,

:42:09. > :42:10.for example, many environmental legislation and consumer rights

:42:11. > :42:12.were written in Brussels and they may well need

:42:13. > :42:14.to be replaced. When it does all start,

:42:15. > :42:16.expect some intense negotiations Many people think full Brexit

:42:17. > :42:37.is unlikely to happen before Let's talk more about what Theresa

:42:38. > :42:39.May said, Brexit means Brexit, and what it means. We have got the

:42:40. > :42:41.voters here. And Labour MP Helen Goodman,

:42:42. > :42:44.whose Urgent Question in the Commons on Article 50 triggered

:42:45. > :42:51.a debate last night. And Raoul Ruparel from Open

:42:52. > :43:01.Europe. We are looking to make Brexit work

:43:02. > :43:05.for the UK and business as a whole. What was your question in the

:43:06. > :43:09.Commons yesterday? I wanted to know if the Government would get

:43:10. > :43:15.Parliament's approval before they trigger Article 50, because what the

:43:16. > :43:18.Leave campaign said what it is about taking back control and restoring

:43:19. > :43:23.Parliamentary sovereignty. We want to know, what will the Government's

:43:24. > :43:28.negotiating position B, a lot of promises were made during the

:43:29. > :43:32.campaign, for example 350000000 pounds for the NHS, if that promise

:43:33. > :43:38.is to be delivered in the opening position that Theresa May will have

:43:39. > :43:42.to make will be no more contributions to the EU Budget, so

:43:43. > :43:46.we want to go into that detail and give more voice so that sovereignty

:43:47. > :43:50.is restored and for transparency for the public. At the people have

:43:51. > :43:55.spoken, why do we need Parliament to have another boat? 70 million people

:43:56. > :43:59.voted out. Yes, but there was no plan and there are lots of different

:44:00. > :44:06.ideas about the way we do Brexit, so we need to go into that in more

:44:07. > :44:09.detail. If you want to join us, sir, you are welcome. Rather than

:44:10. > :44:16.shouting, stand at the end of the line. Let's talk about Brexit in

:44:17. > :44:21.terms of voters. What does it mean to you, when do you want Article 50

:44:22. > :44:26.triggered? I'm not in any rush for it to be delivered, I think we need

:44:27. > :44:30.to get the best deal that we can. I voted Leave because I need a more

:44:31. > :44:33.global horizon for the country, embracing opportunities from

:44:34. > :44:37.emerging markets that are growing around the world, so I'm excited for

:44:38. > :44:41.the possibilities of Brexit ministers in Theresa May's

:44:42. > :44:46.Government who can initiate the process of starting trade heels with

:44:47. > :44:51.countries like India, China, America, to create new opportunities

:44:52. > :44:57.for us. Hello, sir, welcome to our programme, live on BBC News. What

:44:58. > :45:02.does Brexit mean to you? Only one thing, the free movement of people.

:45:03. > :45:09.Theresa May will do a detail with Germany, she caused Brexit in the

:45:10. > :45:15.first place by not giving Cameron as a bit more. People voted for Brexit.

:45:16. > :45:18.I voted out. But if you have got more on immigration I might have

:45:19. > :45:24.voted the other way. Just to be clear, you voted out but, in terms

:45:25. > :45:29.of how much freedom of movement of people you want, what is it? Let's

:45:30. > :45:35.get down to the 1950s. We wanted people to come and do the work. Now,

:45:36. > :45:39.I live in Bermondsey, come down to Bermondsey, if you hear an English

:45:40. > :45:42.voice, let me know. I am one of the last English people left in

:45:43. > :45:47.Bermondsey, I kid you not. All of the houses are owned by the rich,

:45:48. > :45:51.let out to immigrants, making a fortune. You want Theresa May to be

:45:52. > :45:52.very strict? I will move the microphone around. What does Brexit

:45:53. > :46:04.mean to you? We want to take the law is back. I

:46:05. > :46:08.want to see Britain leading the world, rather than following the EU.

:46:09. > :46:14.I want to renew the links with the Commonwealth countries. That is

:46:15. > :46:21.about it. When do you want it to start? It is difficult, because

:46:22. > :46:25.politics is in turmoil. I would like to see a general election in the

:46:26. > :46:29.end, just to give a lead the mandate. At the moment, you don't

:46:30. > :46:35.know who will be the Labour Party leader, you don't know what Theresa

:46:36. > :46:38.May is about, so it is a bit early, but perhaps in a year you could have

:46:39. > :46:45.another general election and then start the exit. What I would like to

:46:46. > :46:51.ask politicians... We have an -- we have a Labour MP here. Why don't we

:46:52. > :46:55.have cross-party negotiations? What will happen if Labour get in at the

:46:56. > :47:00.next election and the Conservatives have started the exit procedure? We

:47:01. > :47:05.should have cross-party negotiations. You are making a good

:47:06. > :47:11.point. One of the reasons for coming back to Parliament is so every MP

:47:12. > :47:15.gets a voice. That was partly what I was trying to say yesterday in the

:47:16. > :47:20.House of Commons, because different people... We have heard it from

:47:21. > :47:25.three people today, people have different priorities, so the way we

:47:26. > :47:33.go about this is not clear. Take the microphone. What do you say to the

:47:34. > :47:40.idea that if we take it to Parliament, and the Labour Party and

:47:41. > :47:45.many Remainers vote against the British people, should they be

:47:46. > :47:50.whipped to vote with the British people, or if they vote to stay,

:47:51. > :47:54.that calls into question whether our representatives represent the

:47:55. > :48:01.people. Identical that will happen. There will be a series of choices to

:48:02. > :48:04.make. Ash M I don't think that will happen. What kind of trade deals

:48:05. > :48:08.will be have, what kind of movement between the different countries?

:48:09. > :48:12.Different packages will be possible. I don't think there is anybody at

:48:13. > :48:17.the moment saying that they don't want to follow the referendum, but

:48:18. > :48:23.there are different ways of doing it, and we need to look into it. As

:48:24. > :48:30.to when it should be held, when it should be triggered, Article 50, we

:48:31. > :48:36.need a period of stability. The markets need to settle. Theresa May

:48:37. > :48:41.and her cabinet need to come up with their strategy, as I am sure is

:48:42. > :48:47.going on. Then perhaps before the end of the year, trigger Article 50,

:48:48. > :48:52.because there will be a two-year period, which will take is up to

:48:53. > :48:56.2019, 2020 will be the election, it needs to be done in a proper way,

:48:57. > :49:00.with other parties included in the process, because we are going

:49:01. > :49:05.forward as a country, and some kind of consensus needs to be made. Good

:49:06. > :49:11.morning. You are the Pensions Minister. Are you a fan of trees

:49:12. > :49:17.may? I am, it is the best possible news for the country. She really

:49:18. > :49:22.cares about the country, we will get stability, she has experience, she

:49:23. > :49:29.is a serious politician who understands what we need. She voted

:49:30. > :49:35.Remain and she has failed to curb net migration, which is why a lot

:49:36. > :49:38.people voted to leave. These are huge challenges, otherwise it would

:49:39. > :49:42.have been solved by now. She has said quite clearly that people have

:49:43. > :49:45.spoken, we have to listen, and she will get on with the job of pulling

:49:46. > :49:52.this country together and moving forward. I have no doubt. She is the

:49:53. > :49:57.best person to do that. It is not easy, it is a huge challenge for

:49:58. > :50:04.anybody. She is the best possible person to do that. You have to

:50:05. > :50:09.reconcile somehow, if this is what she wants, access to the single

:50:10. > :50:13.market and the 500 million customers with restricting freedom of movement

:50:14. > :50:21.of people, which is what you would take from the EU vote. Exactly. So

:50:22. > :50:24.far, the people have spoken, we know some of what they want, then we have

:50:25. > :50:31.to look at how we might be able to achieve that. She will be going in

:50:32. > :50:35.to bat for Britain. That is what we want, somebody who is experienced.

:50:36. > :50:44.She is respected, admired, in a lot of areas. For her, if anybody can,

:50:45. > :50:48.she will be able to go out and say, this is what the British people

:50:49. > :50:59.want. She can find the best way to move forward. Brexit means Brexit,

:51:00. > :51:03.she has said. What does that mean? Essentially it means what you want

:51:04. > :51:08.it to mean. We have not got much detail about what she thinks she

:51:09. > :51:11.wants to do. She has been clear about limiting immigration, she has

:51:12. > :51:16.talked about bringing back greater control, having a proper industrial

:51:17. > :51:22.policy, a one nation approach, and whether it will fit with the rules

:51:23. > :51:28.of the EU remains to be seen. How she will marry this vision with the

:51:29. > :51:34.EU is not yet clear. How much access she is willing to give up is the

:51:35. > :51:39.crucial question. What is your view on the point that Helen was making

:51:40. > :51:42.in Parliament yesterday about Parliament as the sovereign body,

:51:43. > :51:48.which is what the majority voted for, to have that vote on Article

:51:49. > :51:52.50? The Government has been clear that it believes it is indeed

:51:53. > :51:57.Government's prerogative to trigger article 50, and that can be brought

:51:58. > :52:02.in later to have votes about the type of trade deals to go for. It is

:52:03. > :52:08.not clear-cut. But they must have some strong legal advice to be so

:52:09. > :52:13.categorical so far. It is not going to go down to lawyers, is it? There

:52:14. > :52:19.is a court case pending. We don't know who is paying for it. I don't

:52:20. > :52:24.know that. Irrespective of that, as a matter of principle, the

:52:25. > :52:26.Government ought to acknowledge that people wanted parliamentary

:52:27. > :52:30.sovereignty, and it should come back to Parliament. It will be a long

:52:31. > :52:35.process, and before they begin, they need to say what is their plan, how

:52:36. > :52:42.they are going to go about this, and they need to be edited vote on it. I

:52:43. > :52:46.would like to end by thanking our voters, who have been incredibly

:52:47. > :52:53.patient and made thoughtful contributions. I would like to hear,

:52:54. > :53:01.as we are on the cost of a new Prime Minister, your thoughts, your hopes,

:53:02. > :53:11.your fears, your concerns, your views. Can I have a word with The

:53:12. > :53:13.Lady In The Van. ? -- the lady in the middle? You say you would like a

:53:14. > :53:25.second referendum? No. I am saying that the proposals for

:53:26. > :53:29.the new shape of our religion ship with Europe should come to

:53:30. > :53:37.Parliament. That is what the cover much about to Parliament. You

:53:38. > :53:40.understand, perfect. And you for your time, thank you for coming onto

:53:41. > :53:47.the programme. What are you hoping for? You are nervous? What we are

:53:48. > :53:53.seeing is an attempt to kick this issue into the long grass. We have

:53:54. > :53:59.seen politicians and the elite across business and law... You don't

:54:00. > :54:07.believe Theresa May when she says Brexit means Brexit? I believe her,

:54:08. > :54:10.but there is a consensus across a lot of the elite in our country to

:54:11. > :54:17.try and scupper the vote, so I am nervous. I voted Remain, but I am

:54:18. > :54:28.optimistic. But we have seen in the last three weeks, there is Age UK

:54:29. > :54:32.trade continuity at going through the house of Congress in the United

:54:33. > :54:37.States, being pushed forward by Paul Ryan, and India wants a trade

:54:38. > :54:40.agreement, and there are rumours across at least nine countries,

:54:41. > :54:45.which have decided to sign up for trade agreements of some sort. While

:54:46. > :54:49.I am not optimistic about what we can get from the EU, as a young

:54:50. > :54:57.person I would like to see free movement still on the table... Your

:54:58. > :55:04.hopes and fears? I take a similar point of view, I voted Remain, and I

:55:05. > :55:10.see an optimistic future. There is a part of me that is still on my toes,

:55:11. > :55:20.I am not too sure what Brexit will look like, what model we will take.

:55:21. > :55:25.I am feeling quite positive, especially because of Theresa May

:55:26. > :55:31.being in the position that she is, I feel the country will be better

:55:32. > :55:35.placed. A quick word from you. I would like to see how she will forge

:55:36. > :55:39.religion ships with Europe going forward, without a stable economy

:55:40. > :55:43.everything that we hoped for, whether socially or culturally, will

:55:44. > :55:47.not happen, so that is what I would like to see, because we have had all
