Hi, I'm Anouche and I'm joined today by Ben Walker, Harry Lambert and Rachel Cunliffe

to discuss the latest in the government's apparent collapse.

So I'm really glad that you've all joined us today.

I'm sure our listeners won't need to have a recap of what's happened, but I think so

far and, of course, this could change in the course of our recording.

We've had 13 resignations, junior ministers, trade and voice, vice chair of the party,

but most significantly, the chancellor, Rishi Sunak and the health secretary,

it's such a jabbit and we're recording on the morning after those two big beasts resigned.

It looks like it could be the end of days for Boris Johnson's government,

but we are hearing that he wants to cling on and he's got a very torrid day ahead

with PM Q's and also an appearance before the liaison committee.

Harry, what pushed those big beasts, Sajjad Jabbid and Rishi Sunak into resigning when they did?

And what's happening at the moment?

What can we expect from the rest of this day?

So let's just start with Robert Halfen,

who's been a stout supporter of the prime minister,

as just we'd drawn his confidence in him as we went on air,

which is really significant, actually, because he's another one who is part of the wing

of the party that Sajjad Jabbid already represents,

how for a devotee for him.

And I think people like Jabbid and Halfen,

I really dismayed by the Christopher Pinchers story,
