00:28You
00:55This party
00:56Mr. Heseltine says Britain should reach for the levers of power
00:59If only to prevent others pulling them first
01:02One dead and ulster gun battle between soldiers and terrorists
01:07Policemake arrests over ballot rigging in the transport union
01:10Confusion over plastic cling film after the government's cancer warning
01:15And animals to the slaughter
01:17How the RSPCA hopes to stop live animal exports
01:21Michael Heseltine was speaking to a conference in Hamburg
01:24Mr. Heseltine is now on his way back to London to be in the Commons this afternoon
01:29There Sir Geoffrey Howe is expected to spell out in detail the reasons for his resignation
01:34Is there anything Sir Geoffrey is likely to say this afternoon that could influence Mr. Heseltine
01:39On whether to throw his hat in the ring
01:40Well Sir Geoffrey is an extremely cautious man
01:43I suspect that his speech will be carefully written
01:46And I just wonder whether it will be sufficiently in code not really to damage the Prime Minister
01:52Sir Geoffrey has very deep personal and ideological differences with the Prime Minister
01:57I think he will spell them out
01:59But whether he will spell them out in clear set terms that amount to an assault on her leadership
02:04I think we have to wait and see for that
02:06I remind the House that a resignation statement is heard in silence and without interruption
02:13Sir Geoffrey Howe
02:16Mr. Speaker, sir
02:22I find to my astonishment
02:24that a quarter of a century has passed since I last spoke from one of these back benches
02:31Mr. Speaker, I believe that both the Chancellor and the Governor are cricketing enthusiasts
02:36So I hope that there is no monopoly of cricketing metaphors
02:40Increasingly, those of us close to the Prime Minister feel like opening batsmen being sent to the crease
02:45only to find the moment the first balls are bowled
02:48that our bats have been broken before the game
02:50by the team captain
02:59The point, Mr. Speaker, was perhaps more sharply put by a British businessman
03:04trading in Brussels and elsewhere
03:06who wrote to me last week
03:09People throughout Europe, he said
03:11see our Prime Minister's finger wagging
03:14and hear her passionate
03:17No
03:18No
03:19No
03:21Much more clearly than the content of the carefully worded formal texts
03:25It is too easy, he went on, for them to believe that we all share her attitudes
03:30For why else, he asked, has she been our Prime Minister for so long?
03:37This is, my correspondent concluded, a desperately serious situation for our country
03:43And sadly, Mr. Speaker, I have to agree
03:48The conflict of loyalty
03:50Of loyalty to my right honourable friend, the Prime Minister
03:54And after all, in two decades together
03:57That instinct of loyalty is still very real
04:02And of loyalty to what I perceive to be the true interests of the nation
04:06That conflict of loyalty
04:08That conflict of loyalty has become all too great
04:11I no longer believe it possible to resolve that conflict from within this government
04:16That is why I have resigned
04:18In doing so, I have done what I believe to be right for my party and my country
04:24Time has come for others to consider their own response
04:27To the tragic conflict of loyalties
04:30With which I have myself wrestled
04:32For perhaps too long
04:34A little bit
04:49Uh, the Queen?
04:51The drawing room, Your Highness
04:52Right
04:54She has resumed her affair with Major Hewitt
04:57With flagrant disregard for the agreement we made in our meeting with you
05:02A meeting in which it's now clear she brazenly lied to your face
05:08So, I hope you agree
05:09It leaves me with no option but to start a formal separation
05:12Oh, Charles
05:13I am wretchedly unhappy
05:14And yet there is someone else out there who would make me perfectly happy
05:17Quick, switch on the television
05:18Why?
05:19The Ides of March
05:21The Julius Caesar
05:22Or, when I say, Julia Caesar
05:25I'm sorry, we're in the middle of an important conversation
05:27Shh
05:27Her style of government
05:28He says her nightmare image of Europe risks the future of the nation
05:33Can Sir Geoffrey's peroration where he said
05:36The time has come for others to consider their response
05:39Be read in any other way than a clear invitation to open a contest for the leadership?
05:44That is one of the implications
05:45Some people would go further than that
05:47They would say that he's urging people to vote
05:49Yes, Mrs. Thatcher
05:50Margaret Thatcher is facing the most serious threat to her 11 years in power
05:54For the first time in 15 years
05:55Sir Geoffrey Howe, Mrs. Thatcher's longest serving colleague throughout her years in power
05:59Turned on her in the Commons today
06:01And accused her of risking the nation's future
06:04He was explaining for the first time
06:06Why he resigned as deputy prime minister
06:08Deserting her over her refusal to keep in step with the European Union
06:11MPs had expected a coded diplomatic speech
06:13Instead, years of resentment and frustration
06:16Were compressed into a picture of Mrs. Thatcher
06:19And her attitude to Europe
06:21He called on Conservative MPs to consider what he described as their conflict of loyalties
06:26They now delivered a stinging indictment of Thatcher in the House of Commons
06:29And virtually called on Tory members of Parliament
06:31And they hoped there would be some reaction in her favour
06:33It's now down to Conservative members of Parliament
06:36The Prime Minister Mark has planned your face as a challenge that could cost her her job
06:38Instead, MPs, ministers and peers are still trying to assess
06:42What one described as an incitement to mutiny
06:45And another said was an act of treachery
07:16The Prime Minister Mark
07:46The Prime Minister Mark
07:59The Prime Minister Mark
08:00The Prime Minister Mark
08:01The Prime Minister Mark
08:05The Prime Minister Mark
08:06The Prime Minister Mark
08:07The Prime Minister Mark
08:09The Prime Minister Mark
08:10The Prime Minister Mark
08:10The Prime Minister Mark
08:11The Prime Minister Mark
08:13I don't know.
08:49I don't know.
09:13I don't know.
09:14I don't know.
09:19Yeah!
09:20Ivo's got it!
09:22Ivo!
09:22Ivo!
09:23Ivo!
09:24Come on, come on!
09:25Come on!
09:26Come on!
09:30Well done, Anna!
09:32I'm just kidding!
09:33I'm not!
09:36I'm not!
09:37Come on, my darling.
09:41Not long until the holidays.
09:44Love you.
09:49Well done, Sue.
09:50I will see you at Christmas.
09:53Goodbye.
10:14Is that it?
10:16We're not going to talk again, ever.
10:18Since every time we do talk
10:20it ends in an argument, I'd say silence was preferable.
10:28What's this I hear about a trip to New York?
10:31Oh, don't look so surprised.
10:33The government requested it.
10:34Everyone knows I'm going.
10:35No one knew you were going on your own.
10:38What an ugly, avaricious piece of self-advancement that is.
10:41I'd sooner be doing it with my husband by my side.
10:45Doing what?
10:47The past few months you've barely been in a fit state psychologically to go to the hairdresser,
10:51much less represent the crown.
10:52Although I gather you've still found time to see certain other people.
11:00I think this conversation has gone as far as it can.
11:02You were the one who insisted on talking.
11:06But I always said silence was preferable.
11:14One crisis rising above all the others, to bear your majesty.
11:19Yes.
11:19An inconvenience one would dearly like to avoid, given the significant challenges this country already faces.
11:27The crisis in the Gulf.
11:30Oh, that crisis?
11:32Well, that is the predominant challenge facing us.
11:35I thought you might be referring to matters closer to home.
11:38There are one or two minor domestic matters, some changes to fishing license conditions,
11:44but nothing I would want to waste your valuable time with.
11:48You don't think we should briefly discuss that speech?
11:52Which speech?
11:54The resignation speech made by Sir Geoffrey Howe that's caused such a stir.
11:58Why would we want to discuss that?
12:00Because a great deal of fuss is being made of it.
12:03Oh, poor Geoffrey.
12:04I had offered him the position of Deputy Prime Minister,
12:07and he seems to have taken it rather the wrong way.
12:11In the newspapers, his speech is being seen as a direct challenge to your authority.
12:14I think that all depends on which newspapers you're reading.
12:18Not just newspapers. Television, too.
12:21Or watching.
12:22And as sovereign, I must ask you, do you expect a leadership challenge?
12:29The Prime Minister came to see me today.
12:31Ah, yes.
12:32To discuss the crisis in the Gulf.
12:34What?
12:36Not the fact that she'd just been knifed in the back by one of her longest standing allies?
12:40Yeah, I asked her about that.
12:42Did you really?
12:43Yes.
12:45Oh, brave.
12:47What did she say?
12:48Well, she said the situation was unfortunate.
12:51But it amounts to little more than petty rivalries and resentments being played out at the level of the schoolyard.
12:58I shall see them off in no time.
13:01And really, we should not dignify an insignificant internal party squabble with any more of our precious time.
13:15No.
13:16No.
13:16No.
13:19No.
13:28No.
13:32No.
13:34No.
13:37No.
13:37No.
13:51No.
14:05No.
14:07No.
14:07No.
14:09No.
14:09No.
14:10No.
14:20No.
14:21That's not enough to stop it going to a second ballot.
14:24Oh, it's a betrayal of the very worst kind.
14:30They owe their political lives to me.
14:33It's despicable.
14:34Who are those little men?
14:37and you want me to get on my knees to them never have them brought into me one by one
15:11first item on the agenda is her royal highness's forthcoming solo visit to new york looking at the
15:20itinerary our concern would be that it seems to be challenging several appointments each day
15:28it's just four days edward in multiple locations
15:32we all know the toll a schedule of engagements can take and i'm sure no one here would wish to
15:38see
15:38the princess of wales overstretched certainly not at a risk to her own health the princess of wales's
15:45health is exemplary mental health not to mention the amount of time she'd be separated from her
15:53children and the distress that might cause her princess of wales is well aware of what's
15:58required of her and is very much looking forward to the trip
16:20i have only one question
16:25will you support me
16:29of course you will always have my unconditional support i am with you you can always count on me
16:38the problem is the numbers are against you and your inability to unite the party behind you over europe
16:46over the economy over taxation perhaps if your methods were less confrontational and if you'd
16:52consulted with cabinet rather than ruling by decree your rejection of core conservative values of
16:59moderation compassion and your total disregard for the centered ground leaves you vulnerable
17:06exposed
17:06exposed isolated
17:09i shall always defend you margaret always
17:14but
17:14as your friend
17:16as an ally
17:17i think i speak
17:19for the majority when i say
17:20the time might have come
17:22for some new blood
17:26and that it would be in everyone's best interests
17:29if you were to
17:31stand down
17:32in the
18:04So, is that it? Is that the end?
18:11No. I still have one card to play.
18:15Britain will send more troops to the Gulf.
18:18The Defence Secretary, Tom King, has said Britain will...
18:20President Bush called to tell me he thought it barbaric.
18:25Chancellor Cole said it was inhumane.
18:28Mikhail Gorbachev reminded me that ten years ago it was Britain holding democratic elections whilst Russia staged cabinet coups.
18:39Now it's the other way around.
18:41What they all agree on is that getting rid of me is an act of national self-harm, which is
18:49why I've come to you, ma'am.
18:51That together we may act in the national self-interest.
18:56How might I help?
18:57By dissolving Parliament.
19:01What?
19:02We are on the brink of war.
19:06What kind of signal does that give to our enemies?
19:10To sit down if we were to change leadership now.
19:14It would make us look hopelessly weak and divided.
19:18I agree it's not ideal.
19:20Have you consulted cabinet on this matter?
19:22I have not, ma'am.
19:24Surely that would be the normal course of action.
19:27With all due respect, the decision to dissolve Parliament is in the gift of the Prime Minister alone.
19:35It is entirely within my power to do this, if I see fit.
19:40You are correct.
19:42Technically, it is within your power to request this.
19:46But we must all ask ourselves when to exercise those things that are within our power and when not to.
19:53Your first instinct as a person, I think, is often to act, to exercise power.
19:58Well, it is what people want in a leader, to show conviction and strength to lead.
20:08I am merely asking the question whether it is correct to exercise a power simply because it is yours to
20:15use.
20:17Power is nothing without authority, and at this moment, your cabinet is against you, your party is against you.
20:27And if the polls are to be believed, if you were to call a general election today, you would not
20:32win, which suggests the country is against you.
20:37Perhaps the time has come for you to try doing nothing for once.
20:44The difference is, you have power in doing nothing.
20:53I will have nothing.
20:57You will have your dignity.
21:00There is no dignity in the wilderness.
21:03Then might I suggest you don't think of it as that.
21:06Think of it as an opportunity to pursue other passions.
21:11I have other loves.
21:14My husband, my children.
21:18But this job is my only true passion.
21:25And to have it taken from me, stolen from me so cruelly,
21:33what hurts the most is that we had come so far.
21:41And now to have the opportunity to finish the job,
21:46snatched away at the very last.
22:09I'm in hell!
22:10And he just hates me and wants me to fail.
22:16He tells everyone I'm mad.
22:20They treat me like I'm mad.
22:23And I'm starting to feel mad.
22:26Why did I agree to this trip?
22:29I'm going to fall flat on my face.
22:48What?
