Our top story: David Cameron packs his bags to make way

As he prepares to leave Downing Street for the last time,

we'll look at the changes Theresa May plans to make

to the Tory top team and what her priorities should be.

We're joined by voters from a variety of professions

and we want to know what you think, too.

As Jeremy Corbyn secures the right to stand

again as Labour leader, a second MP - Owen Smith -

throws his hat in the ring alongside Angela Eagle.

We'll get reaction from party members.

It's all change in Downing Street as Theresa May promises more top jobs

for women, while Labour leaders appealed for calm as the parties

seems on the cusp of all out civil war. -- as the party seems.

The number of prosecutions for hate crime rises.

Most are racially or religiously motivated, but there's also been

a steep increase in crimes against disabled people.

We'll be talking live to the Director of Public

If you're a Labour Party member, let us know how you're planning

to vote in the new leadership contest,

get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning -

And if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate.

Britain will have a new Prime Minister later today when David

Cameron leaves Downing Street for the last time and hands over the

rain of power to Theresa May. Mr Cameron will go to Parliament first

to take his final Prime Minister's Questions and then later this

afternoon, he'll head to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to

the Queen and recommend that Mrs may succeed him at Number Ten. The

contest the Labour leadership took another turn this morning, when the

Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Owen Smith said he intends to stand.

-- former Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary.

Our political guru Norman Smith is outside Downing Street.

Lots happening but today is today that the new Prime Minister will be

heading into Number Ten. Torque is what will -- Dorcas through what

will be happening. Let me walk you through the data top

Mr Cameron will leave here in an hour and he will go through to the

Commons much earlier than usual for his final Prime Minister's

Questions, I guess just talk to people, his desk in the Commons,

then we have PMQs at 12 o'clock. Very different occasion to the

normal PMQs. It won't be one of those politically charged moments.

Will be much more reflective, maybe even light-hearted moment, when MPs

will have an opportunity to pay tribute to Mr Cameron. Remember when

Tony Blair resigned after his final Prime Minister's Questions, they all

stood up and started clapping. I don't think that will happen today

but we'll see top then Mr Cameron comes back here, says farewell to

the staff he has worked with for the past six years or so and then later

on in the afternoon, around five, he will take the trip up the Mall to

the palace to hand in his resignation. A short time after

that, Theresa May will make the same journey to take over as Prime

Minister, coming back here at roundabout six o'clock, I would

think, to make a statement on the steps of Downing Street, when she

will set out her ambition, her visions, and I think she'll want to

sketch out how her government is going to be different and distinct

from that of Mr Cameron. She will want a clean break. Then, of course,

she has to go in and start getting down to the nitty-gritty business of

government, trying to put together her Cabinet. We were told overnight

that she intends to promote an awful lot more women, including to some

senior positions in government. So you can expect to see a woman,

maybe, as Chancellor, maybe as Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary,

Defence Secretary. There will be women in top jobs. The other thing

to say is that we are being told the priority is being given to

appointing the new Brexit minister. He or she will have to manage our

divorce from the European Union, and we are told Mrs May has reset to

civil servants, "For goodness sake, go and find a big building which can

be our new Brexit department has quit.

The week when the Tory leadership contest enter segment and the Labour

leadership contest submit Harding up.

It is an extraordinary compare and contrast. We have a brutal, bloody

couple of days but it is done. And then we have the slow, protracted

car crash on the Labour side, which seems to be rolling and rolling and

rolling. We now seem to be really on the cusp of extraordinary vicious,

unpleasant battles with Labour MPs on the right and moderate wing of

the party complaining of intimidation, abuse, threats on

social media of violence, rain, intimidation of staff. Margaret

Hodge this morning saying for the first time in her career she'd had

to refer a couple of e-mails, anti-Semitic e-mails, to the police.

Those around Mr Corbyn are saying it is nothing to do with them. They

condemn this abuse. By the way, Jeremy Corbyn has faced similar

levels of abuse. I was speaking to John McDonell anti brushed away the

idea of disbanding this group Momentum and insisting it is time to

calm down. I have to say, that note has slightly been jarred by a

YouTube video which emerged this morning of Mr McDonnell at a rally

to keep Mr Corbyn last night, in which he referred to those MPs who

are critical of him as effing useless plotters, conniving

plotters. This morning Owen Smith, the Shadow Work and Pensions

Secretary who has thrown his hat in the ring, had this to say about Mr

McDonnell. The truth is, John McDonell is part of the problem we

have the Labour Party. I wanted this to be without damaging our divisible

leadership contest. I wanted Jeremy Corbyn to find a way to heal the

Labour Party, to bring us back and unite us. I put that came on three

occasions. To John McDonell, I said I feared he had decided that people

on his part of the party wanted to split the Labour Party and he should

his shoulders and said, "If that's what it takes". I am not prepared to

stand by and let the Labour Party, the party I love, which has been the

greatest force for good in this country, split. So where are we with

a Labour contest? We now have three contenders. We have Jeremy Corbyn is

the incumbent, we have Angela Eagle and we have Owen Smith. But I think

a lot of people feel that Jeremy Corbyn could be in pole position to

win again, and if that were to happen he would have bolstered,

shored up his position, and it would seem to me he would be pretty much

bombproof, even though some of his critics are saying that if they fail

this time, they'll keep coming back for him again and again.

Thank you, Norman. We'll be talking to John McDonell in the next 20

minutes or so. Annita McVeigh is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary Thanks, John, and good morning. --

Joe Weiner. Medical staff in England

are being told to treat sepsis with the same urgency

as a suspected heart attack. The watchdog Nice says it should be

considered as a possible diagnosis Here's our health

correspondent Jane Dreaper. William Meade had just turned one

when he died from sepsis. It can be treated but in William's

case opportunities were missed The watchdog Nice is now giving

healthcare staff new guidelines It happens when the immune system

runs out of control and allows an infection to attack

the body's organs. There are 150,000 cases

in the UK every year, with more than one third of these

patients experiencing It would be wrong to think that

all deaths from sepsis are avoidable, but estimates range

from 5,000 to 10,000 deaths a year, which could be avoided

if everything goes right. William's mother Melissa has

welcomed the new guidelines and is continuing to campaign

for more awareness. Italy's Prime Minister,

Matteo Renzi, has promised a full investigation into how two trains

collided in southern Italy. The crash happened yesterday morning

between the coastal towns At least 25 people were

killed, and more injured. Under floodlights, heavy machinery

is pulling pieces of wreckage from the line as rescue teams check

for any more bodies. It looks like the recovery effort

will continue round the clock. Even the army has been brought

to the olive groves on this remote From some of the carriages

there is very little left This was a powerful,

sudden impact at high speed. Most passengers had no warning

and no chance. I saw my mum on the ground,

my father and sister bleeding. The Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi,

came here to see for himself. He promised a full

investigation and answers. TRANSLATION: I want to express my

condolences to the families. I have ordered with no holding back

to find out who is responsible I think absolute clarity must be

made on this. We will not stop until we

understand what happened. Well, the recovery work

is still going on here and then The key question -

how could two trains end up on the same track, speeding

towards each other? The death toll keeps rising,

but some are thankful this happened late in the morning,

rather than early, when many more Service personnel are being badly

let down because the government is providing them with poor quality

accommodation, and often leaving them without basic needs

like hot water and heating. That's according to a report

by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, which says

military housing, which is offered to all service personnel

with families, has become significantly worse

over the last year. Directors of adult social care

in England say they'll have to make significant cuts to services

for older and disabled people, despite being allowed to raise

an extra ?380 million They say the additional funding

won't even cover the cost of increased salaries under

the new National Living Wage. The Department of Health says

it is working with authorities The NSPCC is calling

for all self-employed tutors to be legally required to have a criminal

should be covered by the same The Home Office says it will

consider the proposals carefully. Nasa's Juno spacecraft has sent back

a new picture of Jupiter - its first since it started orbiting

sweeps back next month. The Austrian government says

BBC News - more at 9.30. Throughout the programme, we'll be

asking how Theresa May will tackle Who should be in her top team

and what should her priorities be? Do get in touch with us

throughout the morning - And if you text, you will be charged

at the standard network rate. I'll be talking to some of the new

intake from last year of Tory MPs for their perspective on what's

going on in the party right now, so we'll be joining them in a few

moments. First, let's catch up on the sport with Hugh.

The shocks in football keep on coming.

The part-time side from Gibraltar beat Celtic last night -

called the Scottish side's worst-ever defeat by one

It was Brendan Rodgers' first competitive match as Celtic manager.

which was a Champions League second qualifying round first leg,

and also scored his country's first competitive goal

Around 300 Celtic fans had travelled to watch their side play,

and at least they have the home leg in which to try to make amends.

I think there is this the disappointment. We understand what

we want to get to on what we want to achieve but, like I said, there's no

embarrassment. It was a tough game and tough conditions and we never

took our chances and they took their chance, but like I said, the second

leg will be different. No such woe for Welsh

champions New Saints. In fact, their 0-0 draw

with Apoel Nicosia from Cyprus Now, what Rory McIlroy does

during the Olympics has been discussed quite a bit

over the last few hours, after he said he wouldn't even be

watching the golf tournament, But another thing it

seems he won't be doing The four-time Major winner

is preparing for this week's Open and claims he's only been

tested once this year and could get away with doping

in the current regime. World Anti-Doping Agency figures

from 2014 show golf had the fewest number of tests of all

the summer Olympic sports. HGH, you cannot pick it up in a year

in test. I could use it and get away with it. Blood testing is something

that needs to happen in golf to make sure it is a clean sport. If golf is

in the Olympics and it wants to be seen as a mainstream sport, it has

to get in line with the other sports that test more rigorous Lee.

And, before I go, back to Rory McIlroy, to whom I would say

Talk about getting yourself into a hole.

This is McIlroy during his practice round yesterday at Royal Troon

on the famous eighth hole called the Postage Stamp.

He's one of the best in the world, but try as he might,

he couldn't find his way out of the even more

Six shots later, he was free, and every amateur golfer

was awash with relief that they're not the only ones.

It's nicknamed the Wee Beastie because it's only 123 yards long.

I shouldn't say anything, I can't even hit it that far.

After sweeping away the competition with what seemed like extraordinary

ease, Theresa May will arrive at Downing Street later to take over

But the calm confidence she's shown to date is bound to be

tested by the immediate pressures she faces.

Her first job will be to name her new Cabinet.

After that, it's down to business, dealing with urgent issues such

as shoring up the economy and setting new priorities

So, what do her colleagues in the Conservative Party hope

to see in the first few days and weeks?

Let's talk now to three junior Conservative MPs.

Tell us about your dealings with Theresa May. She phoned me when I

was on the candidate list, encouraging me to stand. That is

indicative of what she is about, encouraging women to stand. She has

done a great deal of work, and it is highlighted today by the fact that

the party has the second female Prime Minister, without any quotas

at all. She is not quite talking about quotas, but there are

suggestions she is hoping that her cabinet will be 50-50 male and

female. That has not come from her directly, we will have to wait and

see. We are in a strong position, we have so many wonderful women that

have great talent. I am confident she would not appoint anybody on the

basis of a fixed quota. We have people like Andrea Leadsom, Liz

truss, a lot of talent within the party, Priti Patel, who could come

up and continue to grow. You have had personal experience of working

with her on some of the issues that you have encountered. What is your

perspective? She has always been incredibly professional, straight,

diligent, all of the things people have said. I worked on her back with

her with the investigatory Powers Bill. GCHQ is in my constituency.

She was focused, but when people suggested changes, like judicial

oversight for warrants, she listened, she that had, and she

improved the legislation, so I found her to be somebody who is prepared

to listen. What do you want to see as her priority? First and foremost,

she said she would carry on with the main thrust of the manifesto we were

elected on, providing opportunity and security to everyone. More

apprenticeships, free childcare, more focus on housing for young

people. What is exciting is she has talked about a new positive vision

for making sure our country and economy works for everybody and not

just the privileged few. It is that not get swept away by the tide of

Brexit and the focus on how the country moves forward? We can do

more than one thinking Government. Brexit is important, what she has

said is clear, but not only that, her attitude has been positive, she

is not looking at it as a problem, she is looking at the opportunities

and making the most of them. That is great. The and that, we have got a

domestic economy, she has highlighted issues are. There is a

feeling not everybody is benefiting from the prosperity and growth, she

is talking about executive pay, she is talking about companies where we

feel we are getting a bit ripped off and we should be looking at those

industries more closely. It is an exciting vision for a country and an

economy that works for everybody. It is a change of direction from the

one that you were anticipating, especially under George Osborne.

Theresa May outlining a different path. It is a natural progression,

Cameron came in on a socially mobile agenda, encouraging opportunities,

and now Theresa May is taking that to the next level. That was the main

thrust of her speech in Birmingham, there needs to be a vision, people

need to be had get on, and let's move that forward. How do you see

the agenda? It is about evolution, not revolution. There is bricks it

going on, but there are challenges in our domestic economy, a

significant deficit, it is running at more than the defence budget. She

is coming in with a different policy on that than George Osborne,

although he has since said he agrees with her. It is right you respond to

events, but you will not see indiscipline, you see reacting

pragmatically to events. She recognises if we want to have these

things like prosperity, opportunity across the, you have to make sure

the fundamentals are in place. You will see capitalism but also

discipline. On the question of discipline and unity, you voted

Leave, you two voted Remain. Do you think the issues around Europe will

continue to divide the party, with different views on what the

timetable should be? Really encouraging start, you look at the

coalition that she has assembled around her, she has had senior

people from both sides of the debate on Europe around her, supporting her

candidacy, she has the support of over two thirds of the parliamentary

party in the last alert, people from the north, south, urban and rule,

Leave and Remain, so she is unifying the party, and we can get on with

unifying the country. When it comes to Brexit, she has made it clear

that Brexit means Brexit, but also, let's make a success of it. That is

how to bring people together, we have decided, now let see the

benefits. Whilst there have been high-profile disagreements within

large part of the party, including the 2015 intake, both sides have got

on extremely well, there have not been areas of difficulty, there are

not fences that need to be mended. One should not believe everything

one reads in the paper. The mood is very good. She has said we are all

now leaving, she is a pragmatic politician, we are pragmatic

Conservatives, and that is the challenge we face. It is the

Conservative Party that gave us the referendum in the first place, we

signed up to giving people a choice, and implementing the choice, and

that is what we will do, in the best interests of the country. You wanted

to remain. Seeing the way it has played out, do you wish David

Cameron had wished he had not given the referendum? I am proud he

offered it and we offered it as politicians. I am proud that

everybody turned out and voted. That was a heartening thing to see, we

all experienced it, I hosted several town hall meetings, we were out and

about, and the level of engagement, talking to us about it, showing up

to public meetings, and voting in record numbers, 30-something to be

celebrated. Somebody described it as a festival of democracy. It felt

like that. Would you have an appetite to fight another election?

She said there would not be one. I don't think there is any appetite

amongst parliamentarians or in the country. I have had two e-mails from

people asking me, but the overwhelming majority say, we have

been through this convulsion, let's have some stability. Big issues to

face, the last thing we need is endless uncertainty, we need a

stable Government to address the issues that face us. Theresa May

needs to focus on leading our country, we need to focus on working

towards that and uniting the country and the party. You cannot achieve

that if you are fighting another general election. Your thoughts on

David Cameron? He will look back on his time with enormous pride. He has

been an extraordinary Prime Minister. When he came into office,

we were borrowing ?150 billion, running one of the largest deficits

in the Western world, and nobody knew what would happen. Everybody

was panicked. Look where we are now, record employment, growth has been

strong, a million more children in good or outstanding schools. But is

Brexit his legacy? The national living wage, the national Citizen

service, there is a host of different things, this revival of

the apprentice schemes, the list goes on. He brought a country back

from the brink. The UK was staring into the abyss, and he put it on an

even footing so we can say our best days lie ahead of us. There was no

guarantee of that in 2010. Some comments from people watching, Janet

says, Boris Johnson should manage Brexit. Michael says, the

Conservatives are still the same party, for the rich. Phil says,

Theresa May talks a good job, but the delivery is poor. Dawn says, it

will be interesting to see what happens with George Osborne. I am

still troubled that three survey has not promised the permanent right for

EU citizens living in the UK to remain here. Do any of you have

strong thoughts? This has got to be addressed very soon. There is a risk

of reputation damage. I understand why she has said what she has said,

but we need to address this as soon as possible to give certainty to the

people in our country and who are valued but might be feeling...

Number one priority? It has got to be up there. She has said that, as

Philip Hammond has, we want to talk to our European partners as quickly

as possible. He said it could be six years until we see Brexit. On this

issue, he said we would like to start talking as soon as possible,

so we can reassure people and businesses, and reassure our

citizens living abroad. She did the right thing, you don't start

negotiating in public, you wait until you commenced the

negotiations. But we need to give security to people living in this

country. You have only been MPs for just over a year, did you even

imagine your first year in politics would see the sort of things you

have seen? I don't think anybody did. What does it make you feel

about the job and democracy and politics in this country? I am proud

we introduced the referendum and listened to people and that we are

going to roll it out. I am proud of David Cameron's legacy, and I will

be proud of Theresa May as well. It has been a convulsion, you need

stamina in this job. It shows our democracy is vibrant, and our best

days lie ahead. Absolutely, I am excited about the agenda she has,

and we will play a small part in putting that into practice and make

a difference to the people who elected us. It looks really

promising. Debra says, a new Prime Minister and I did not even vote,

democracy! Somebody else says, we never voted for her, hold an

election ASAP. Colin says, no charge -- no chance of trade deals, Brexit

will break the UK. We will talk lots about the future under Theresa May

through the programme. With Owen Smith joining

Angela Eagle in challenging Jeremy Corbyn, we'll speak

to Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell And we'll chat to to two

of Theresa May's potential cabinet appointments,

and discuss the changes Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news. The former Work and Pensions

Secretary Owen Smith has confirmed he is standing for the Labour

leadership -- Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary.

Apologies. We don't have Dan Johnson at the moment but let's move on with

other news. Directors of adult social care

decide whether to compel its owner That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 10.00. Good morning. We are talking about

the shock on the rock this morning. It has been an incredible night in

Gibraltar. Brendan Rodgers's first match in charge of Scottish

champions Celtic ended in a 1-0 defeat by Lincoln red imps, a

part-time team from Gibraltar. The goal in the Champions League second

qualifying round first leg came from a player who was a policeman for the

Ministry of Defence. A shoulder injury to Dan Evans means

Britain will be represented by Kyle Edmund and James Ward in the singles

for the Davis Cup quarterfinal this week against Serbia. Andy Murray

will be in Belgrade but only as a spectator.

Team GB confirms the four golfers who will take part in the Olympic

this this morning. Justin Rose will be competing in the men's along with

Danny Willett, while Charley Hull and Katrina Matthew Wilkins compete

for the women's medals. Chris Froome retained the leaders

jersey at the Tour de France yesterday. Fellow Briton Adam Yates

remains in second, just 16 seconds behind. A lot more on that later.

Thank you very much. Another twist in the battle

for the Labour leadership - former shadow cabinet member

Owen Smith says he will challenge Jeremy Corbyn,

alongside Angela Eagle. Yesterday, Labour's National

Executive Committee ruled Mr Corbyn should automatically be included

in the contest, and would not need Joining me from Westminster

is Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell. Thank you for joining us. Does it

look good for Jeremy Corbyn to be on the ballot paper without any MPs'

nominations when there are serious questions over whether he could have

mustered enough? That the constitution. Is abiding by the

constitution of our party, which says that the incumbent, the leader,

doesn't require nominations. It has to be for the challenges and that

was introduced years ago, so he's just abiding by and we will have a

democratic election. There may be more candidates to allow a

democratic election, and if it's anything like last year, it was

pretty amicable. The candidates got on very well. It will be about the

policies. Our members will decide and at the end of that, the party

will unite behind the new leader, whoever that is. Do you really

expect that the party could unite behind Jeremy Corbyn if it is him,

when he has seen that vote of no confidence and, as I say, there are

serious questions as to whether he could even get enough MPs' votes to

get on the ballot paper. Yes, I think Labour MPs and Labour Party

members are good people. Labour MPs come into politics to do good in the

interests not just of the party but of the country but they are also

Democrats. They respect the democratic process. There will be a

democratic leadership election now. Whoever comes out at the end is the

leader, I think they will respect that mandate. During the campaign,

it gives us a real opportunity of having a real policy debate, having

a discussion about all those issues and, in many ways, I think that will

resolve some of the differences that have occurred the last couple of

weeks. I think we will come out of it much more united. We will also

use the leadership election campaign to prepare us for a potential

general election, whenever that will come. Is a democracy when 172 Labour

MPs said that they did not have any confidence in his leadership, only

40 back Tim? IR MPs who have been democratically elected by their

constituents. That's true but they are Labour MPs because they are

Labour Party representatives. They were elected not as individuals,

they were elected as Labour MPs. Labour Party votes got them there

and they were selected by Labour Party members, so, again, my view on

all of this is that the sovereign body of our party, our constitution,

is our membership. They decide who the bid is and MPs and others should

respect that and I think we'll have another election now. Whoever comes

out at the end of it will have a democratic mandate. Labour MPs are

good people, they are Democrats, and they will accept that. In the next

few weeks in the policy discussions, it will bring people together. You

will see more and more what unites us, not what divides us. It

certainly doesn't sound that way, hearing what Labour MPs have been

saying. Do you think that some Labour MPs who have moved against

Jeremy Corbyn may end up being deselected over this? I don't think

so. We've always said to people that this isn't about the selection. I

think what will happen is that people will gain that respect for

each other. The Labour Party was founded at the very beginning and

has always been what we call a broad church of left, right and centre. It

has been rumbustious politics but you get better decisions. We will be

able to demonstrate that there is a range of views in the Labour Party.

That will come together in a democratic process and we accept the

Democratic wishes of our members. Whoever they select, we will unite

behind. What you are saying is so far away from what other Labour MPs

have been saying in terms of the Labour Party. Talks of a split. Is

there anyway, if Jeremy Corbyn becomes leader again, that he could

possibly lead the Parliamentary party without the backing of MPs?

There is no split happening. Labour MPs have got concerns. Why would you

expect Labour MPs to support him? Because they are Democrats. They

will respect the views of our is. They've done everything they can to

get rid of him. In the heat of politics, things happen and words

are said and in the cool light, particularly of an action campaign,

around the policy issues, that will happen over the next few weeks. I

think people will hear the policy debate, see where the differences

are, see how we can hammer those out and at the end of the day, this

democratic principle, you respect the democratic lecture at. This has

been an ongoing period of time where Labour MPs have been doing

everything they can to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn. Would you be

ambivalent about the party splitting if that's what it takes? Not at all.

Did you shrug your shoulders and say to Owen Smith, "If that's what it

takes," when he asked you? I've heard this but I have no

recollection of that. As soon as Owen raised that, I made it public

that there is no way that I will support a split in the party and I'd

only get will happen. It wouldn't have taken much for you or Jeremy

Corbyn to have been absolutely definite when asked several times by

Owen Smith, and he's absolutely definite that he did ask the

question several times, would the party split quest Bobby didn't get

any response from Jeremy Corbyn and you just shrug your shoulders. I

don't accept that. I like Owen but I don't accept that as a recollection

of the discussion, and Jeremy Corbyn has made it clear publicly time and

time again, there will be no split in this party. When Owen raised

that, I put a statement out there saying, I make it absolutely clear I

do not want this party to split, and it will not split. Let's put that to

one side. The issue here now is having a really good, amicable

policy debate. I find that quite exciting. Fresh ideas will come

forward. That will be fed into the mandate for the new leader and that

mandate will prepare us for the general election, so let's welcome

the democratic process. We're Democrats. In some ways, it's unlike

the Tories where they just appoint leaders and there's not even an

election or a debate about future policies. We will have a healthy

political debate. You talk about an amicable process. Jeremy Corbyn has

talked about a new kind of politics. Angela Eagle has told Jeremy Corbyn

to get control of his supporters after her window in her constituency

office was smashed when a brick was thrown through. Jeremy Corbyn has

condemned that. She has said that he has not gone far enough in his

condemnation of what's been going on. She and several others have been

saying, this sort of intimidation is being done in Jeremy Corbyn's name.

They are not doing it in Jeremy Corbyn's name and Jeremy's politics

top Why is it happening? Think we have a free trial atmosphere in

politics, especially after the referendum result, where we found

people being abused in the street. Jeremy is the most caring,

compassionate person I've met in politics. He's introduced a new

politics, which is more caring and kind and every time there has been

an incident of abuse from anyone or any organisation, he's condemned it

and made clear it has nothing to do with either him or the Labour Party

and if there is anyone associated with the Labour Party, and we

identify them in any form of abuse, from whatever political perspective,

they will be out. Let me make it absolutely clear, I know Jeremy and

have known him for over 30 years, and the levels of abuse... He's been

having continuous death threats and abuse. He's made it very clear, this

is an acceptable in politics. I think what has been helpful is every

political leader in the House of Commons has condemned this style of

politics and we've got to stamp adapted top it is an acceptable.

Doesn't look democratic to say that only people who've been party

members since the 12th of January get to vote in this leadership

lection. There was a two-day window when members will have to be ?25.

I'm disappointed at that decision which was made last night towards

the end of the NEC meeting and I'm a bit disappointed because a lot of

members have joined. We've now got half a million members and are a

huge political party. We are a social movement again, the way we

were when we were first found as the Labour Party, and I'm really

disappointed for these new members that have joined on the basis of

reading on the Labour Party website that they'll be able to vote for

policies and for the leader of the party, so I'm disappointed for that.

The NEC took that decision. It wouldn't have been one I would have

voted for but it is there and we have to work with it. You think the

plotters are useless, do you? I promised Jeremy Corbyn I would not

crack any more jokes and last night, I was at the Labour event which was

a stand-up comedy event and all the candidates were there and I knew was

being recorded and I made a joke and I wish I hadn't but there you are. I

made a joke and it was a joke. There has been a plot, let's be honest

about this. A tiny group of people in the party just haven't been able

to accept Jeremy's mandate and almost from day one have the button

to get rid of him. A tiny group? Going back to the figure, 172. 170

Labour MPs expressed a view. They are not plotters and expressed their

honest to. You have to respect that and engage with it. That's why at

the NEC yesterday, they decided on a process where we would look to see

what the differences were, how we could mediate bows and overcome

them. I think that was really instructive. There have been a tiny

group of plotters and I'm afraid I was having a laugh at their expense

last night and I swore during the joke as well. If my mum was alive

today she would be phoning me up to tell me off or come down to wash my

mouth with soap so I've apologised it up I'm just an ordinary broken

I'm afraid sometimes that happens. -- an ordinary bloke. What is

important is that we move on, have a good debate, come to a Democrat or

decision, Unite as a party and prepare for the general election.

Thank you very much. Ross has treated, the Labour Party now have

two unity candidates to divide the Labour Party. Got to love the inner

SX another one, shame on the rub is. It would seem to me that neither

Eagle nor Smith have the ability to take voters away from the Tories.

Another, I fear for the Labour Party if the Tories are successful. I can

see Ukip in the North will be won big-time from Labour. Let's go back

to Downing Street. David Cameron is expected to leave for the Commons in

the next hour. Norman Smith is there. We expect some comings and

goings shortly? I think we might get some comings

and goings very shortly. Just over my shoulder is Mr Cameron's car,

ready for blast off. That will take him to the House of Commons as Prime

Minister for the last time. The doors opening and closing. That was

a bit of a dummy run! The Prime Minister will go to the House of

Commons for the last time, quite early, really. Just 9:45am so here's

a couple of hours ahead of PMQs and I guess he will just want to maybe

talk to some colleagues ahead of what will be a much more reflective

Prime Minister's Questions than usual, then he is going to come back

here and I understand there will be a podium out here and there will be

a chance for him to make some final remarks about his Premiership. Any

regrets, Prime Minister? Morning, Prime Minister. What next, Prime

Minister? Are you looking forward to a rest?

No words from Mr Cameron, but we will get someone he comes back, so

there will be the podium moment, when he will look back on his time

in Downing Street, and then he will go to the palace to hand in his

resignation. All eyes will be on to Reza May. A big task beyond her

speech, when she sets out her vision, will be putting together her

new Government. This is a huge moment for the wildebeest of

Westminster, there will wonder whether they will still be in

Government, they might be promoted, or they might be shunted aside.

David Cameron by and large has been a cautious butcher when it comes to

Cabinet reshuffle is. I wonder if Theresa May might be much more

savage, to belie her reputation as a rather self-contained, cautious

politician, and go for a radical shake-up. She wants to get a lot

more women into the top jobs. If we take you through some of the

possible movements we might get. Let's talk about the position of

Home Secretary. Theresa May is moving on to number ten, to become

Prime Minister, so who will become Home Secretary? It could be Chris

Grayling. The current leader of the house. He was her campaign manager,

so he is trusted by her, but he was also, if you go back to 2010, the

Shadow Home Secretary. He was the man preparing for the job. The other

keepers addition is that of George Osborne. He left a short while ago,

he got into his car, he did not say anything. It was an understated

departure. The view is he will no longer be Chancellor. Theresa May

took a swipe at him when she had her big speech suggesting that maybe she

thinks it is time for a change. Who might move in? Philip Hammond has

been mentioned, he was Chief Secretary to the Treasury, he has

experience. When he was at defence he was credited with getting a grip

of the wretched defence budget. Another name talked about, maybe

people not so familiar with, Amber Rudd. She is a tough talking,

no-nonsense political hard-hit, who emerged during the Brexit campaign.

She coughed Boris Johnson with the killer line, saying that he was the

life and soul of the party, but not the sort of man you want to drive

you home. She could be one of the big female promotions to become

Chancellor. Let's talk about the position of Foreign Secretary,

Philip Hammond will move, which means if Theresa May wanted to keep

George Osborne in the Cabinet, could she perhaps move him to the position

of Foreign Secretary? Probably would not take any other post. If not him,

another name is that of Liam Fox. He was a leadership contender but he

threw his weight behind Theresa May pretty early. That may have won him

some brownie points. He is a possible. A former Defence

Secretary, he is used to the global stage. Another interesting area is

the idea of a Brexit minister. Theresa May says it will be a top

priority, she has already told civil servants to find a building for this

new department. One name is David Davis, a prominent Tory MP, a former

Europe and Esther, so he has some experience of doing deals with

Europe. Or possibly it could be Liam Fox, she could move him into the

position of the chief Brexit minister. Let's talk about female

faces. Theresa May has said she wants to have a record number of

women in the Cabinet. What are the people we might see moving in or up?

I have mentioned Amber Rudd, but Priti Patel is another figure,

another big hitter in the Brexit campaign. She could move into the

Cabinet. Justine Greening, international developer and

secretary, a backer of Theresa May from early doors, she could get a

big promotion. And there is Andrea Leadsom. Will a space be found for

her in the Cabinet? My sense is this may not be a little nip and tuck,

this could be a major bit of surgery Tom as to Reza May tries to put a

marker down on her Government and says to voters, this is not David

Cameron Mark two, this is Theresa May Mach one.

We have one of those faces with us in the studio, joined by two of her

possible movers and shakers. We can chat about this more now

with two of Theresa May's possible movers and shakers,

Justine Greening, who's currently the International

Development Secretary, and Mike Penning, who works for May

as Policing Minister Are you expecting a new job?

Identity many body knows which role they will be in over the next few

days -- I don't think anybody knows. I have been proud to serve in this

role, and she will want to put a stamp on this Government. She will

take her decisions once she goes into number ten, but it is an

exciting time. For many others, we are pleased to be able to move on

with the next stage of governing Britain, getting on with Brexit, and

the negotiation, and starting to not just deliver on the manifesto we

were elected to do last year, but responding to the referendum result

we have just had. You have been tipped for health or education, are

either of them some think you would like to do? Any of these jobs are

huge privileges to do. I did not have a plan to become an MP, let

alone this! I just do whatever job I have got to the best of my ability.

I came in after a good career in business, so we will have to wait

and see what the next few days brings, but for all others committed

to getting on with the Brexit result and delivering for our country,

getting the economy on track, they can sure it works for everybody,

those are the priorities we share, and whatever role you have in our

party, we will work together. Even if you knew something, you would not

reveal it, but had you had conversations with Theresa May? She

plays her cards close to her chest, she is not probable. Has she been

talking to people? Would anybody be aware if anything is on the way? She

will be talking with her closest advisers about how she wants to

shape the Government. The conversation I had was to say that I

thought she would be the best person to run our party, our country,

through the coming months and years, and for me that was enough. I am

delighted that she has now got the party back together, but in doing

so, she can hopefully unite the country as well. I mentioned you

have been in the Home Office for two and a half years under Theresa May,

you have been there when she has been talking to the staff, what has

it been like? It has been moving. They are nonpolitical, but they like

this Home Secretary very much, which is why she has been so successful.

Until fairly recently ministers have been there for a long time, but

yesterday, she said goodbye to her Private staff in the private office,

it was emotional, lots of tears, then she said goodbye to the whole

of the Home Office. They did not have to come, and I think near

enough to a man and woman they came and gave her a standing ovation.

Lots of tears. She said there will always be a bit of me that is the

Home Office. You talk about somebody who inspires loyalty, people stick

with her. She has also described as being not probable. Will you see her

team slotting into place? You will see a different sort of Prime

Minister from the Prime Minister leaving today or Tony Blair. She

gets on with the job. Because of that, she instilled loyalty, and she

has fun, she went to the karaoke, although she did not sing. If you

saw her hugging me outside, she nearly broke my back! She is

serious. That is why people want her, she is a serious politician,

but she does listen. I have had my ups and downs with her, she has

listened, but I respect her for listening to me and being part of a

team. She has been a tough Home Secretary, she has had a difficult

job, but in amongst that she has focused on things that really matter

to people, especially people who might get forgotten, she has fought

against FGM, forced marriage, domestic violence. Things that

matter to her on a personal level that she has put at the top of her

agenda. Alongside the fight against crime and reducing crime and those

things she has had to do, there is another bit of that when she sees

things she thinks not right, she will set about trying to fix them.

In her speech to the Police Federation last week, very

important, the nub was domestic violence. You are not dealing with

it correctly, you will go out and sort that. That what the nub of it.

It is expected there will be an equal number of men and women in the

Shadow Cabinet. I hope it is not a Shadow Cabinet! Sorry, the Cabinet!

Is that something that you would like to see? It is time that we saw

more women coming through, we have fantastic female parliamentarians.

Part of what she has done as an MP is to open up the party to more

women. We have got lots of great MPs. You had one on your show

earlier. I hope we will see more women as ministers and coming into

the Cabinet, that would be a good thing. We will see how it all

unfold. So, what do you think our new PM

needs to prioritise? We speak to some of our viewers

about what they think. It has been a mixture of whether,

sunshine and showers, and it is fairly similar at the moment. That

is the forecast for much of the day. Beautiful pictures sent in. You can

to be sunshine here. Another one from Cornwall, a beautiful start to

the day. The south-west of England will be one of the driest parts of

the UK today. Sunshine and showers, the heaviest of which will be across

the North and north-west of the UK, where we could also have hail and

Thunder thrown in. Quite a bit of cloud, but equally, sunshine. The

cloud producing showers, but not all of us see them. The remnants of the

showers clearing away from Kent and East Anglia. It will brighten up,

but a scattering of showers drifting across Wales, the Midlands, heading

into the south-east. A fresh north-westerly breeze picking the

edge off the temperatures, and the showers across parts of Scotland. It

is largely dry in the East, but the showers will get there by the

afternoon. Some gristle for the Northern Isles. Sunshine, bright

spells and showers for Northern Ireland and northern England. Fewer

showers in Wales, especially in the South. From the Midlands down

towards the Isle of Wight and into East Anglia and Kent, we have got

the mixture of sunshine and showers. Through the evening and overnight, a

lot of the showers will tend to fade. There will be some clear

skies, and in the countryside it is going to feel cold.

conditions, but windy. The second front comes in, pushing across

western Scotland and north-west of Northern Ireland. Ahead of it,

showers. As we push into the crowd -- the cloud grows. We hang on the

sunshine. Although the wind will be noticeable, it is coming from a

different direction, from the south-west.

The it is Wednesday, it is ten o'clock.

Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us.

David Cameron packs his bags to make way for a new Prime Minister. We ask

what Tories make of the changes at the top. I'm excited about the

agenda that she has her the country and I'm hopefully going to play a

small part in putting that into tractors. We will be joined by

voters from overriding of professions. We want to know what

you think, so do get in touch with your thoughts. We've also got a

gorgeous little girl in the studio joining us!

And also today... As Jeremy Corbyn secures the right

to stand again as Labour leader, a second MP -

Owen Smith - throws his hat People in this country cannot afford

to have a Labour Party that isn't presenting a powerful position and a

credible alternative government. That's what I'm determined to

provide. It is leadership that we need and that's what I'll be doing

over the next couple of weeks. And the number of prosecutions

for hate crime is rising. Most are racially or religiously

motivated, but there's also been a steep increase in crimes

against disabled people. We'll be talking live

to the Director of Public Here's Annita McVeigh

in the BBC Newsroom Britain will have a new Prime

Minister later today. David Cameron will leave

Downing Street for the last time and hands over

the reins to Theresa May. In the last 15 minutes,

Mr Cameron has left to go to Parliament, to take his final

Prime Minister's Questions, and then, later this afternoon,

he'll head to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation

to the Queen and recommend that The former Shadow Work

and Pensions Secretary, Owen Smith, has confirmed he is standing

for the Labour Party leadership. He joins Angela Eagle in challenging

Jeremy Corbyn for the top job. Mr Smith denied the contest risked

splitting the party. What I've done is put my name

forward to Labour members, the people who absolutely matter in this

debate. I think they want the widest possible choice, I think they will

be pleased that Jeremy Corbyn is on the ballot and I think they will

also be pleased to hear that the next generation of Labour MPs are

prepared to step up and offer ourselves to serve this party, to

heal the party and present a credible Labour opposition and a

Labour government in waiting. The Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell

said he welcomed the contest and defended comments you made last

night that Mr Corbyn's opponents were useless plotters. The issue

here now is having a really good amicable policy debate. I find that

quite exciting. Fresh ideas will come forward. That will then be fed

into the mandate for the new leader and that mandate will prepare us for

the general election, so let's welcome the Democrat it we're

Democrats at heart. -- welcome the democracy.

them without basic needs like hot water and heating.

That's a summary of the latest BBC News.

Thank you very much. We are going to be talking about the new Prime

Minister in a few moments with our studio audience, representative of

some of the key professions. We will find out what they think about

Theresa May as Prime Minister. Do they want there to be an election?

who's a policeman by day, and also scored his country's

to watch their side play, and at least they have the home leg

in which to try to make amends. I knew that Celtic would impress us

and they were vulnerable at the back and I took my chance. When the ball

hit the floor, I kicked it over the defenders and to my left and it was

a dream for us, having to score and winning 1-0 against the mighty

World Anti-Doping Agency figures from 2014 show golf had the fewest

number of tests of all the summer Olympic sports.

For example, HGH is only... You can't pick it up in a you're in

test. I could use HGH and get away with it, so I think blood testing is

something that needs to happen in golf to make sure that it is a clean

sport going forward but, yeah, I think if golf is in the Olympics and

golf wants to be seen as a mainstream sport, as such, it has to

get in line with the other sports that test more rigorously.

That for headlines shortly but that's it for now.

Today marks the start of a new era in British politics. Theresa May

takes up the reins of power as Prime Minister as a turbulent time for the

country. We will know later who will be in her Cabinet but what can we

expect from her in terms of her style and policy choices in the

coming weeks and months? In a climate of national uncertainty

after the UK's decision to leave the EU, she has emerged so far as a

shrewd little survivor, what are we to make of our new leader? We can

talk more about Theresa May with some viewers. Georgia and her

daughter Judith. Georgia is studying for a Ph.D.. It is a retired

Metropolitan Police detective. Tommy runs his own business. Salvatore

runs his own business and is a live route -- originally from Italy. And

Marianne, a secondary school teacher.

Do you want to kick us off? I think she is the right person for the job.

We are going through very uncertain times and I think the party made the

right decision in picking her as the new leader. Wide you think that? I

had a chance to meet her a few times and she comes across as a very

meticulous person, very prepared, and she's her own person, so I'm

sure during the negotiations with the EU, she will be the best person

this country can have. Peter? I think she's got a major problem and

it is a problem of her own making in six years as Home Secretary. Lots of

talk about uncertainty. We've seen the referendum leading to rises in

hate crime. That's not going to go away. The information in some of

your previous pieces about things like female genital mutilation and

child sexual exploitation, Modern Slavery Bill loads of things like

that, that she's spoken about, but she hasn't resourced police with

additional resources to deal with that. We've seen the start of

worrying trends of political violence, the tragic murder of Jo

Cox, the violence associated with what's happening with the Labour

Party at the moment. These things are not going to go away and we've

got years of negotiations on how Leave is progressed Amber Rudd going

to be some very disappointed people that think they voted for one thing

and it's not going to happen, so she needs the police on her side. She

has got the most demoralised police service that I have known. We have

got 19,000 fewer officers than when she came into office. Just as

importantly, we've got 20,000 fewer police staff and PCSOs, so of those

police others is remaining, they are now doing the back office admin that

they used to have police staff to do. The police services in crisis.

She has created that. She doesn't appear to understand that. She needs

to do something about it. Georgia? I think it's good that we have someone

who is quite, discount offer a bit of stability. It has been a really

unstable few weeks and I'm glad, also, that she would have been a

remainder because that's what I would have voted is I think she will

try to get is the best deal. Unhappy when she says Brexit means Brexit?

I'm not happy. The show is not over until the fat lady invokes Article

50. But my problem with Theresa May is that I'm married to someone who

was deported because of the policies that she could in as Home Secretary.

I'm very concerned by the snooper's charter so I am concerned about

that. I am not a massive fan of Theresa May. Touching on what is

ready been said, at times like this we need a of stability and as

someone who runs a small business, the effects of currency and things

like that affect us, so the stability she has orally brought

just by the announcement and the pound being a bit more stable is

something that should benefit us. What happens in the longer term is

extremely important but I think where politics is at the moment, in

both parties, having someone who has been around for awhile and has sort

of background helps a substantial amount both for the economy and for

political stability more broadly. What she has said so far about the

economy, about ending the need to go to surplus, as George Osborne has

said he would, about what she would like to see in big business, rather

than small business, but is that the sort of stuff you want to hear from

your new Prime Minister? I think it's important. I think it has been

topical for a while in terms of big business guide to the UK, trying to

avoid taxes, seeing it as a safe haven, and that's honestly not ideal

for the UK economy so the fact that she is willing to take action is

fairly important for someone who is coming into power, who is

potentially going to be in power until 2020. Marianne? I'm relieved

from the selection that we had that we've ended up with Theresa May and

I think one of the reasons we've ended up with her is because she has

been very prudent and a very calm and very measured and she hasn't

come across as somebody who is doing it for personal career reasons. I

think she's shown a lot of wisdom where there has been a lot of

hysteria and I think that's exactly what we need right now. We need

someone calm and patient and who is very careful and meticulous on

decision-making. I should say, you are not all Tory supporters. You are

not a Tory supporter, you are not, but you think she's the right person

right now, or would you like better be a general election? I think right

now there has been so much upheaval that it would be nice to have a time

of calm, which bearing in mind I'm not a natural Conservative, it is a

browsing to say that, but I think someone who is calm is what we need

right now. I completely agree. Touching on what was said earlier

about the fact that I voted Remain and she was in that camp gives me a

bit of comfort around her being elected because of the type of deal

she is going to be able to broker with the EU. Peter, we heard your

perspective as a police officer who has seen her deliver a very hard

line with the police. Does that backbone that she has shown with the

police actually stand her in good stead for negotiations in Europe? It

can't take away from the fact that she decide to do something and does

it. Some would say that as and removable trait, some would say it

is just sheer bloody mindedness. -- and admirable trait. One thing that

has been apparent has been the disdain and contempt with which he

has dealt with police officers That is your perspective. She would say

she doesn't feel that way to talk I could give you chapter and verse but

she has not listened to police officers at all to talk she has

worked based on information she has got elsewhere and haven't with the

issues in depth. We need a Prime Minister who will understand the

issues in depth. She stood up to the EU when the EU

was asking for more immigrants to come, more refugees.

Has she stood up on immigration's it has only gone in one direction. You

cannot stand up to EU immigration, because with free movement of people

there is nothing you can do, unless you leave the EU. As far as the

refugee crisis is concerned, when Germany was taking on hundreds of

thousands of refugees, she stood up and she said no, we are not going to

have any of that. During the crisis, the UK has been the less affected

country across Europe. I want to gauge how quickly you want to see

her act or otherwise on what happens with Europe. You sort of hope that

the Brexit does not necessarily go ahead. It would be foolish of us to

press ahead for we know what we are playing with. A lot of people voted

Leave for different reasons, immigration, more democracy, more

money for the NHS, some of those claims have been refuted, so we need

to work out what deal we will get before we trigger article 50. I

agree. Theresa May has said that she is not going to invoke Article 50

until she knows what the process will be. That is a sign that she has

wisdom, occurs it is a severe thing to trigger it. I hope it will be

delayed for a bit. Does anybody want to see full steam ahead? She needs

to get on with it as quickly as she possibly can. But in relation to

policing, she needs to put a Home Secretary in place and leave them to

do their job and not treat them like a puppet, like she has treated

policemen. Richard says Conservatives have brought us back

from the brink, the Liberal Democrats had a large part to play.

Lewis says he has -- she has no mandate. Alec says, how does she

have a mandate to lead? Hugh says, the future in Scotland seems to be

on the brink, Theresa May has changed that, I believe she can heal

the country. Stuart says, let's hope she achieves her 50% female Cabinet,

she should then aim to achieve a 50% House of Commons. Graham says, she

has sneaked in. Judith was beautifully behaved! Well done!

Theresa May will have to Mastermind Brexit, went to trigger Article 50?

It sets out how a country leave the EU. It starts a two year clock

running, after which, we are out. It can only be extended if the other

member states agree. That is not a case of if she will trigger it, but

when. Brexit means Brexit, we will make a success of it. She will have

to avoid a recession, the pound has fallen since the referendum. The

markets are doing better. How can the Prime Minister prevent a market

collapse? Lets make the most of the opportunities our departure

represents and get out in the world and help British firms do business

around the globe. It is about striking new trade deals with Europe

that don't leave them written out of pocket. She needs to disguise --

decide on her bottom and tactic before she meets the leaders of the

other member countries in October. Immigration was the big issue of the

referendum, and a massive dilemma. If we want free trade with Europe,

we might have to have free movement of people as well. That means EU

citizens would still have the right to live and work here. The Prime

Minister could ask if we could have won without the other, but no

country has ever managed to negotiate it at all. She has always

tried but failed to meet previous immigration targets, and she does

not want to set her own. We should not declare red lines, because you

are giving away some of your hand. You go into the negotiations and aim

for the best deal you can get. The pressing defence matter is the

nuclear deterrent. Next week parliament is due to vote on whether

we should retain nuclear weapons and place the entire fleet of Trident

submarines. The first job of a new Prime Minister is to handwrite four

letters called the letters of last resort. They are put into each of

the existing Trident submarines, giving instructions of what to do if

an enemy strike is destroying the Government. They thought to have

such as retaliating with nuclear weapons or taking orders from

another country. The need for strong, proven leadership, to steer

us through what will be difficult and uncertain economic and political

times. The early days of her tenure will be a big test of her

leadership. The big task is unifying a Conservative Party torn apart by

the EU referendum and its fallout. Will she work closely with key Leave

campaigners Boris Johnson and Michael Gove? Will there be a big

job for another of her previously the ship rivals Andrea Leadsom's if

uniting her party was not hard enough, there is the small matter of

keeping the UK together. The option of a second referendum must be on

the table. A second possible Scottish and throat is lurking in

the shadows. Let's talk more about what she will

be focusing on in the months ahead. With me one of the Government's

economic ministers, somebody who worked under Theresa May in the Home

Office, and the Housing minister who has helped to run Theresa May's

campaign. What would your number one priority be? The economy is going

into this change in a much better situation than when David Cameron

took over as Prime Minister. Far more people in employment, the

deficit has come down substantially, the banks are in better shape. Her

priority has to be to focus on making sure that through this period

of Brexit we do it in a way that is as good as possible for the

opportunities that are out there outside the EU that will help the

economy. My work with her has seen her compassionate side. People talk

about the grit and determination, but the work she has done on modern

slavery and on domestic file is and abuse... Not asking about what she

has done, what you want her to do. That is what she will continue to

do. She will prioritise looking after and supporting those most

vulnerable, the people society has left behind. We heard that on

Monday, she wants to make a country that works for everyone, including

those people that society has left behind. There are two things. The

signal to industry and the economic markets that there is stability and

we have a plan, which is hugely important, and underlining that,

making sure we have shown we have a country and economy that delivers

for everybody. You are housing minister, many might think of the

bedroom tax, is that the sort of thing you would not like to see

Theresa May... Should she look again at that? That was about fairness,

equalising what Labour had done in the private sector to everybody, to

make sure we have the best use out of our housing stock, so it was the

right thing to do. It is why we have increased the number of homes we are

building, we have to keep doing that. We had a 25% increase last

year, we have to get a strong economy to keep that going. You are

talking about continuity and what has been done that you have liked.

But in terms of what she said about business, she is charting a

different path. What she said about business so far has sounded more

like it might have come out of the mouth of a Liberal Democrat or a

Labour politician. She was the economy to work for everybody, she

is clear about how she thinks businesses could adapt. She has

spoken about having an employee representative on the board, like

they do in Germany, about having more consumer engagement. She wants

to address some of the issues that people have in terms of how they see

boardroom pay work and how they see some of the real problems of

capitalism that we have seen with the BHS failure. She has said they

will not be an election. The talk is of stability, continuity, but from

the social media comments coming through, there seems to be an

appetite that there should be an election. She is not an elected

Prime Minister. She was part of the top team elected with a majority in

May last year. We have a manifesto on which we were elected, she is

determined to deliver it. What she is offering now is quite different

from the manifesto. It is delivering what is in the manifesto, but adding

onto that making sure that the country works for everyone,

protecting the dispossessed, those that society has not behind. People

like the Hillsborough victims, it was Theresa May that said something

has gone wrong, I am going to put it right. That is what she is good at.

She said she did not want there to be a coronation, but do -- that is

what has happened. She wants the members to have a vote, but Andrea

took the decision on Monday, in a dignified way. Theresa May has been

chairman of the party, a shadow secretary of state, a fantastic Home

Secretary, with a proven track record of negotiating and delivering

and keeping our country safe. The rise of the women in politics under

her, it seems. I am really pleased that she will be Prime Minister,

because she is the best person for the job, but I am also pleased

because she is the second female Prime Minister. She has pulled women

into politics, she was a fantastic mental to us when we were looking to

get seats, she has been supportive of the efforts of the body within

the party that promoted female candidate across all devils of

Government. It is a testament to the success of what she has done that we

put forward two women to be on the short list to be the next Prime

Minister. Well you be disappointed with anything less than parity? The

most important thing is it is the best person for the job. We would

not be here if it were not for David Cameron, but we would not have our

seats if it had not been for Theresa May, she got women to aim high and

be part of the team. She will be fantastic, and she is going to make

sure the best people do the job, do it well, and really deliver.

The senior Lib Dem politician, Vince Cable, served alongside

Theresa May in the Coalition Cabinet when he was the Business Secretary.

He told me what it was like to work with her.

My concern is and was that she can be very rigid and inflexible,

certainly on the issues around immigration when we were talking

about overseas students and highly skilled workers,

pursuing policies with such determination that it

But I would summarise it by saying I think she's

Obviously, when you say she doesn't listen, she wasn't listening

Do you think that, generally, she is somebody who would listen

when there is a different perspective put forward,

or are you saying she absolutely refuses and is very set in her ways

The Treasury and George Osborne were equally infuriated sometimes

when we had Chinese business people trying to come here and strike deals

and invest in the country, and running into endless

problems with visas, that there wasn't more flexibility.

And I think that was the kind of frustration.

I don't know whether it was a character trait or whether she

was just doing her job, and I think one of the overriding

observations we all had was that she was very self-contained.

She pursued her Home Office duties very diligently, often

Whether now she's got the top job she's able to look at the wider

picture, and particularly to look at the economic business

implications, an area where she's never worked,

or had any experience, that's quite a big test.

You said that the Treasury and George Osborne were equally

David Laws, in his book, described difficult relationships

between her and it seems pretty much everyone around her.

The Lib Dems, George Osborne, David Cameron, Michael Gove,

Chris Grayling, who has been her campaign manager.

Tell us a bit more about what you saw in the relationships

because obviously all of this is quite interesting in terms

of what she's going to do now as leader and who she takes on board

I do not want to make too much of it.

I mean, she was very determined and very single-minded,

That was the way she did business and she didn't walk

People have been drawing parallels with Gordon Brown.

Her personal style was very different.

I think there is a streak that we all saw which was to be

really quite narrow in focus and reluctant to shift,

even when the facts seemed to be changing.

If that's what happens when she's Prime Minister, we could find

which I and my Lib Dem colleagues were promoting in government,

notably industrial strategy, trying to have a fairer

system of executive pay and that's very, very welcome.

I think the big question actually will be how she deals with economic

She's already abandoned George Osborne's fiscal targets.

That was a very sensible thing to do because we are certainly heading

for an economic downturn, perhaps a recession.

And therefore we'll have to borrow rather than tighten up the budget

and deepen the recession and the fact she was the first

out of the traps to say that is to her credit.

But, on the more interventionist thing, about industrial

I think when we talk about foreign takeovers,

I was absolutely in the same position on the AstroZenica/Pfizer

takeover but I was concerned about the science base.

I think she's more concerned from a nationalistic view

The number of prosecutions for hate crimes against disabled people has

risen by more than 40% in a year - ranging from insults

on social media to verbal abuse and physical assaults.

The figures, which come from the Crown Prosecution Service,

also show the total number of hate crime prosecutions has also risen

by just under 5%, with more than four out of five

classed as racially or religiously motivated.

Alison Saunders is the Director of Prosecutions for the CPS.

Thank you for coming in. What do you think is behind this rise? It's a

stark rise, particularly the increase in the number of crimes on

disabled people. It is. We've always known that hate crime has been

underreported, so we are rather hoping that people are more

confident in coming forward, they conceive we are taking these crimes

extremely seriously, people understand that they are crimes, so

if you perceive somebody to be doing an offence because of an hostility

or prejudice, that's enough for it to be a hate crime, and we will

prosecute them. We've got really good policies, with trained

prosecutors, and people can see the success rate going up, which is

good, so people are more confident in coming forward. We are looking at

the number of prosecutions and I guess it is difficult to get a real

grip on the picture behind it, whether there are more cases of it

happening, whether more prosecutions are happening in proportion or what.

I think the number of prosecutions from the cases of photos by the

police are going up, so we're working with our police colleagues

to make sure we present stronger cases, so we are taking

proportionately more prosecutions. How is that being achieved? We have

hate crime coordinator is across the country who look at these cases and

work with their colleagues, both in the police and CPS, to make sure our

policies are applied, and that we are building strong cases we can

take before the courts. There has been an increase in reported hate

crime in the run-up to the referendum and since. The number of

cases up just over a short period of time by 42 percentage top obviously,

it's going to take a while for cases to fall to through to the courts but

what is your perspective on that? The national police chiefs council

were very clear about the upsurge in the number of recorded crimes and

sometimes that happens when there's an incident that people feel that

they the ability to go out. These are offences and they are recorded

as such and we work with the police to build the strong cases and I

would expect to see a similar surge in prosecutions coming through the

system. Police say the incidents are primarily harassment, common assault

and other violence and racist anti-immigrant graffiti. We spoke to

a Polish family last week who had been targeted because of where they

come from. People reporting on social media that they are being

told to leave the country as they are not British. Where does the line

get drawn in terms of what actually gets prosecuted? If it is an

offence, so if there is criminal damage, we have prosecuted people

for graffiti where it has been racist, and not only have we

prosecuted them successfully court is set because of the race or

religious aggravation if that's what it is. So there are not only that we

will prosecute these cases but the courts have extra sentencing powers.

Do you have all that you need to make sure that there is... That

courts do deal robustly and that cases do get a prosecution stage,

where they should? Is there anything you would like the new Prime

Minister to be looking at? The government as a whole has done a lot

in relation to hate crime and we reflect that in our policies as

well. So the legislation is very clear. It's about whether somebody

perceives it to be based on discrimination or hostility because

of race, religion or disability, and if that's the case, we will take it

before the court. We've worked really hard with prosecutors to make

sure that they are flagging up that this is a hate crime to the courts

and we've worked with other partners to make sure that we have put

forward community impact statements, which don't just tell the court

about the impact on the individual, which is important, but also on a

particular community, and that can be taken into account by the

sentence so that they have the full story. They've also got extra

sentencing powers. They can prosecute a relation -- religious or

racially aggravated offence. When you talk about the uplifted and of

prosecutions and convictions, that will send a message but there will

be some who will still think, it is not worth reporting because it may

not be taken seriously enough. We are really concerned that people

shouldn't just live with it because when we talk to victims of crime,

particularly this type of crime, they talk about how impact if it is

on their well-being and we've had picked who talked about being

frightened to go out, they didn't want to engage socially, they stayed

at home, and it really destroys lives, so I want to encourage people

to come forward. We take them very seriously. We are publishing this

year some public facing policies so that people can hopefully have a

better understanding of what these crimes are about and how we will

prosecute them, and the seriousness with which we and the courts take

them. Thank you very much. Back to the twists

and turns of the battle Former shadow cabinet

member Owen Smith says he will challenge Jeremy Corbyn,

alongside Angela Eagle. Yesterday, Labour's National

Executive Committee ruled Mr Corbyn should automatically be included

in the contest, and would not need A little earlier I spoke to

the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell He said that MPs should respect the

will of the party members. They are Labour MPs because they are Labour

Party representatives. They were elected not as individuals but as

Labour MPs, so the Labour Party votes got them there and they were

selected by Labour Party members so, again, my view on all of this is

that the sovereign body of our party, according to a constitution,

is our membership. They decide who the leader is and MPs and others

should respect that and I think we'll have another election now.

Whoever comes out at the end of it will have a democratic mandate.

Labour MPs are good people, they are Democrats, and they will respect

that mandated -- mandate. Lets talk to a former member of the

Shadow Cabinet to resign. I think Owen has a strong chance of beating

Jeremy in this contest and we could do with a generational shift but

Angela is an incredibly formidable politician and she's shown herself

to be gutsy and ballsy. We will have the debate in the next few days and
