Welcome to the rest of this politics question time with me, Rory Stewart.

And me, Alistair Campbell. Rory, I think we were quite pressed for time last week.

We didn't do as many as we like to because we had that wonderful interview with Michael Hezlstein,

the first in our leading series. So let's crack through as many as we can today.

Very good. Okay, well, here's a question for you then, Ellis Davis.

Could Boris Johnson lose the whip? What would be the likely fallout if Sunack would remove

the whip from Boris Johnson? And here, Alistair, I'm just going to call on you to stop your relish,

try to be realistic if you were actually for some bizarre reason advising, Rishi Sunack.

Would you ever advise him to take the whip off Boris Johnson and what would happen if he did?

Wow. Well, it's an interesting because it's like a mirror of Keir Starmer with Jeremy

Corman, isn't it? Success, the leader, the former leader is still around and still sort of has the

capacity to cause difficulty. I think that would be a pretty nuclear option. I wonder whether

Rishi Sunack is hoping? I don't know. I don't know what his relationship with Johnson's lie.

I wonder whether he's hoping whether this privileges committee actually does come out very,

very strongly against Johnson. Just quickly to interrupt, I think his relationship with Johnson

is terrible because I think Boris Johnson and Boris Johnson support his blame Rishi Sunack

for toppling. Boris Johnson, remember the reason really, in the end, the thing that did for

Boris Johnson was Rishi Sunack's resignation. That's what triggered those 52 ministerial

resignations supporting down. And that's why they all got behind, let's trust.

Did I see something the other day of where Sunack or somebody close to Sunack was saying that

was quotes confirming that Johnson is going to stand again in that bridge?

Well, I think Boris Johnson himself has said he wants to stand again.
