January 1st *** BREAKING NEWS *** ![]() We have reports that Sir Geoffrey Howe resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the House of Commons earlier today on the usual Cabinet meeting.Sir Geoffrey Howe, one of Mrs Thatcher's oldest and staunchest supporters, resigned from his position in protest at Prime Minister's European policy.This was followed by remarks made by Mrs Thatcher in Rome last weekend on European Council meeting where she declared for the first time that Britain would never enter a single currency. For now there are no comments from the office of Prime Minister or any senior Conservative figure.Downing Street informed us that Prime Minister will as usual attend PMQ's on Wednesday in House of Commons but that she has no plans to hold special PC's or release PR's on this subject for now. |

It started in usual fashion
But it ended with very strong accusation towards party leadership and Prime Minister
Howe finished his resignation speech with very strong point and it is to be seen how Downing Street 10 will react to this tomorrow when Prime Minister announced she will take PMQ's

Opposition Leader killed in Car Accident![]() ...We now have some breaking news, news is just in that a car transporting the Leader of the Opposition, Neil Kinnock, to a press conference in Brighton has crashed. It appears that a tree collapsed as a result of the recent strong storms, and has completely crushed the rear of the vehicle, killing Mr Kinnock. The Government has yet to comment, but the Labour Party has issued a statement wishing well the family of a man who many expected to lead Labour to their first election victory in decades. More on this story as we have it... |

Britain Falls into Recession![]() ...We've got some rather poor news for Britain's economy, as the CBI have now confirmed that the United Kingdom has entered a recession, as some economists had feared might happen. All regions have reported a fall in output. The government, which already has quite a bit to worry about, may have to worry about yet another thing tonight. This recession has affected many countries across the globe, with many economies around the world struggling. Britain has managed to cope somewhat better than some other countries and it has taken this country a longer time to enter the recession. Well, we're in it now it seems. Now for our sports news...... |

LABOUR LEADERSHIP ELECTION UNDERWAY ...And so it seems, for now atleast, that Alain Prost and Aryton Senna will dominate again. Thank you, now onto one of our main stories. Following the death of Neil Kinnock, the Labour Party has began the process of electing a new leader, and thus far there are three candidates in the ballot. Sir George Saxon is with us live from Westminster, George? Sir George Saxon Yes, hello and good evening. The Labour Party has just days after Mr Kinnock's tragic death began the process or electing a new leader. There are known to be three candidates at this time, the Shadow Defence Secretary, James Maxwell, backbencher George Scott and the Shadow Chancellor. Both Maxwell and Scott have already began public campaigning, and for now the polls suggest that this could be a tight result. |

Breaking News:THATCHER RESIGNS The BBC has just been informed by an independent source in the Conservative Party that Margaret Thatcher has resigned as Prime Minister and as Leader of the Conservative Party and is due to go to the Palace to tender her resignation to the Queen. We now have pictures coming in of the Prime Minister's car on the way to Buckingham Palace... ![]() It is believed that Mrs Thatcher's resignation has come as a result of rising dissent in the Government and the wider Conservative Party, with the first female Prime Minister losing her iron grip and also faced with a challenge to her Leadership. Michael Heseltine has already announced his challenge and it is not know whether more hats have been thrown into the ring. Mrs Thatcher's Government was hit by a high profile resignation from Government in the form of Geoffrey Howe, who resigned as Deputy Leader and Leader of the House of Commons last week. This is apparently what sparked the fall in confidence in Margaret Thatcher's leadership. We'll have more on this story as we have it... |

Breaking News: THATCHER RESIGNS CONT![]() Margaret Thatcher has, in the last half an hour, given her resignation speech outside of No.10 Downing Street and subsequently left No.10. Mrs Thatcher gave her statement shortly after returning from Buckingham Palace where she tendered her resignation as Prime Minister, she has thusly resigned from her position as leader of the Conservative Party. Here is what Margaret Thatcher had to say on her resignation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c71A0WG_Byk *Ignore the John Major bit! ![]() Mrs Thatcher was then cheered out of Downing Street by bystanders and her supporters. Britain's first female Prime Minister has resigned, and it looks like the next Prime Minister won't be female. The official nominations in the leadership election which has been triggered by the resignation have not been announced yet but that is expected to be done in the next 24 hours. This has been a historic week for British politics with both of the big parties having simultaneous leadership elections, the Liberal Democrats have been relatively quiet in comparison. In our other main political story, James Maxwell has pulled out of the Labour leadership race for "personal reasons." Christopher McGowan has been nominated for leadership to face George Scott. |

Breaking News:SANTIAGO IS NEW PM![]() It has been announced that no-one has decided to stand against Ryan Santiago for leadership of the Conservative Party and he has been subsequently elected unopposed as the Conservative Party's new leader and Britain's new Prime Minister. Mr Santiago, it is reported, went to an audience with the Queen at Buckingham Palace immediately upon his election and he has yet to make a statement. Little is known about Santiago's political orientations apart from that he is Conservative and was a supporter of the outgoing Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. With a recession and numerous social problems to deal with Mr Santiago will have to hit the ground running. Meanwhile, the Labour Party is believed to be about to go to the ballot box to elect their new leader. |

Breaking News:McGowan Elected Labour Leader![]() The Labour leadership election triggered by the tragic death of Neil Kinnock was this afternoon, concluded. The results were pretty unanimous: Christopher McGowan-62.3% George Scott-37.7% So Christopher McGowan was elected by a large winning margin, let's go to our Labour Party reporter, David Kerr, David, what does mean for Labour and its future and how did this result come about? DK: Thank you, John. We have seen the election of a far left candidate, so Neil Kinnock's shift towards the centre ground will most likely be reversed and we'll see a shift back to the left for Labour. This could mean a number of electoral possibilities in the future. Either Labour hold up well and show their policies in a good light and win the next election which would mean a socialist Government for Britain or the Tories sufficiently show holes in McGowan's socialist policies which could set Labour for another 11 years in Opposition, either way, the next two years will be especially interesting. On to how this result came about, well that's interesting. James Maxwell, the sure fire favourite for leadership who was expected to win by a landslide dropped out and McGowan stepped up. George Scott however did very little campaigning at all. So, with no agenda for Scott most of Maxwell's would be votes went to the man who had campaigned, McGowan. However, there was significant votes for Scott just to try and ensure there wouldn't be an old socialist leader. Thank you for that David, indeed the next two years will be interesting.
