ma nifested we will see with the labour manifested this week as we had this morning the labour party is making a big push on environmental policies and what they call their green industrial revolution and i think, a bit like when the previous government introduced or tried to really change up apprenticeships and try to encourage businesses to take on apprentices, there is always warm feelings for the notion and principle behind it. but then they tend to get very cross and upset about the government handling of it and the current government has kind of become bureaucratic and a lot of people in the business community did not like it and that is one of the reasons why they look at the interventions that they want to make. when we trust as they see it, with the private sector want to trust the public sector and i was talking to a big group of businesspeople at the cbi this morning and i have to say there is a lot of real concern about the main parties and about how labour would spread into the private sector and how drastic, radical and popular their proposals are. and their is anxiety

labour says its committed to driving it out of the party. anti—lg bt equality teaching protests are permanently banned from outside anderton park primary school in birmingham. former conservative deputy leader michael heseltine urges voters to back independent mps or the liberal democrats to stop boris johnson's brexit. the un says countries will have to increase carbon—cutting ambitions five—fold if the world is to avoid dangerous levels of climate change. australian police say that missing british man aslan king has been found dead, three days after he disappeared while camping. sport now — and time for a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. andy murray is not one of those sporting superstars who often speaks about his private life, but a new documentary has captured him at some of his most private moments. "andy murray: resurfacing" charts his two year fight back from a hip injury which threatened to end his career. and while it was a very tough time for him — andy murray told me — it also helped him prepare

party, labour party spokesperson saying they have experienced a sophisticated cyber attack on labour digital platforms. they said we took swift action and these attempts failed due to our robust security systems. the integrity of all platforms was maintained and we are confident no data breach occurred. these procedures have slow dance and campaign activities, these have been restored this morning and we are back to full speed, we have reported the matter to the national cyber security centre. i suppose that's it's quite well with what we are talking about now. let's talk now to areeq chowdhury, head of think tank future advocacy which came up with the idea and commissioned the deep fakes. you saw him there in catrin‘s film. jamie susskind is author of the book future politics: living together in a world transformed by tech. and sarah manavis is a digital culture writer at the new statesman magazine. welcome, to all of you. areeq chowdhury, what do you make of that? we have very little details but labour saying they have managed to thwart a cyber attack? look out i think it is a go

party, the labour party, is not part of the remain alliance and in the first past the post system it makes a huge difference and i'm afraid it's not about tribalism or deflection, if the goal is to dent the tory party majority then all of the remain parties, including labour need to be part of the alliance. we mentioned yesterday, an example of one seat, canterbury, the lib dem candidate tim walker, took the personal decision to stand down to allow a remain supporting labour party candidate a good run at that seat but that's an individual decision. in one constituency. presumably you are saying this needs to be happening at a much higher level, at a party level for this remain alliance to work? it has to be ata remain alliance to work? it has to be at a much bigger level because the remain alliance of mps, those mps who came together, our data and i know other data shows it's only going to impact in about three or four seats so it's down to tactical voting and i think it's a very principled stand of tim walker to ta ke principled stand of tim walker to take that but that was his indi

the labour party must take some responsibility. personally, both parties have forgotten about the north—east. both parties have forgotten about the north-east. and that is something about the north—south divide we touched upon earlier. just to finish up, lizzie, it's a big five weeks for you, you are currently on the fence, you don't know where your vote is going to go, for this being a big marginal seat, people like the tories will be coming for your vote, what do you wa nt to coming for your vote, what do you want to hear from somebody in the next few weeks for you to make up your mind? just answer any questions that people have instead ofjust talking about one thing that they are focusing on... you want some clarity. listen, i hope you get your clarity. listen, i hope you get your clarity and your answers over the next few weeks, thank you to everybody forjoining us next few weeks, thank you to everybody for joining us here next few weeks, thank you to everybody forjoining us here in the van. we are hearing loads of opinions

party were the labour party stands between him and a majority. that's the concession borisjohnson would need to feel more comfortable in predicting a clear majority? given where the polling is at the moment, on average at least a ten point lead for the conservatives we would expect borisjohnson to get a majority anyway, the swing from labour to conservative according to polling, is big enough he should make it. his lead is not so far ahead of the seven percentage point lead he is likely to require to have at least a 50% chance of a majority. so he will certainly see while this is not necessarily a major boost for him, every little bit helps, given his lead is not so great he could not end up being in trouble if jeremy corbyn make some progress during the campaign. 0n during the campaign. on that remaining alliance, where are they left with this and what aboutjeremy are they left with this and what about jeremy corbyn‘s position are they left with this and what aboutjeremy corbyn‘s position in relation to that alliance? the one party that's no

partyve the conservative in step with nigel farage and that brexit party and you have a labour party on the far left of british politics. it is likely that is where those parties will stay for the foreseeable future. liberal democrats are absolutely going to try to stop brexit and use our greater strength, and we are being very ambitious in this election, to bring more reason to british politics at a time where it is heading off to the extremes. somewhat argue that you have taken your party to the extreme and are now suffering for it in the polls. many people would argue the way to reverse brexit is via the routes of a second referendum. you have said you will not go down that road, that you would simply reverse brexit. do you think that is an extreme position that has cost you in the polls? jo: let's be accurate about our policy. there saying very clearly, liberal democrats want to stop brexit. if we get a liberal democrat majority government we will invoke -- revoke article 50. if we do not win a majority we will push for a vote on a brexit deal to give the public the final say wit

the labour party will say their ma nifesto, the labour party will say their manifesto, as it was in 2017, is fully costed. yes, it is a radical plan, but they will say that is what the country needs. the conservative party will argue that while they themselves are looking at more borrowing, their plans are more responsible fiscal, and i think that will be the broad outline of those arguments to come over the coming weeks, as we approach 12 december. jess, thank you very much. throughout the election, we want to hear from you and answer your burning questions. today we'll focus on health. at 12.30 this afternoon, the bbc‘s health editor hugh pym will on the bbc news channel answering a range of your questions on health. so, if you have something you want to know, please do get in touch on twitter, using the hashtag #bbcyourquestions or you can email us on yourquestions@bbc.co.uk. and do remember to leave your name and where you're from. the headlines on bbc news... a 27—year—old man who cannot be named for legal reasons has been found guilty of the murder of british backpacker grace

so this morning, there was an e—mail from the labour party, saying, "get to this location at this time, jeremy corbyn will make a big statement about the health service." what was it? a major statement. major — do you remember there was that era from 5—6 years ago, when it was a big a victoria beckham thing? things were "major, it's going to be a major". i don't remember that. maybe it was only me. but anyway, there was a major statement from jeremy corbyn. and people were wondering what it could be, and i thought, "what hasjeremy corbyn been trying to talk about more than anything else in this campaign? donald trump and the nhs." so there we were in the room, jeremy corbyn comes in after a very, very torrid day yesterday. after the andrew neil interview, as well? yes, yes. and it is worth noting that until quite late yesterday, jeremy corbyn was meant to be going to cornwall this morning. he walked in, brandishing pages and pages and pages of documents which are about the talks between the us and the uk — a potential trade deal after brexit. and these were talks done by british

the labour party party thing everyone will have freeboa rd labour party party thing everyone will have freeboard band in ten years, freefall fibre broadband and it would cost only 10 billion quid and they would do it by privatising pa rt of and they would do it by privatising part of bt. this is massive staff stop i think it shows us the really genuine, enormous contrast between the two parties' approach to the economy. i think i cut through. labour we do five big nationalisation is, they think it pulls really well. but i think a funny way the tories were taken by surprise by it. some tories actually think it might even help them get back those nervous tory remainers who may be thinking of going to the lib dems because they want to make that economic case to them. they wa nt that economic case to them. they want to make them feel nervous about the economy ofjeremy corbyn got into numberten. but the economy ofjeremy corbyn got into number ten. but if you are a co re into number ten. but if you are a core labour voter, i think that is going to be a big motivator for some of their punters

so says the labour party, you will be stunned to hear. we have been talking about a big number in the nhs. but this is another consist —— controversial number. the cost the conservative party have said of a five years of a labour government. thejeremy five years of a labour government. the jeremy corbyn five years of a labour government. thejeremy corbyn government. it must be said, hotly contested analysis of how labour's various spending plans various —— previously announced, stack up. yes, the conservative party have been accused of fa ke conservative party have been accused of fake spending figures, as that independent has reported. the reason they throughout this 1.2 trillion pounds figure was to get people talking about it. we are several days on from the first day of that round and it is still high up the news agenda. even if people have not liked the way they have gone about it. what this story is about is the tories are saying to the nation, labour will spend too much of your money for top they will be throwing it left, r

big leave area, you know, 70% leave in many of these seats, being represented by a labour party that has broken all of its promises and now wants to have a second referendum if it wins power, offering remain against a form of remain. that is a betrayal of the promises made to these people during the referendum and during the last general election. the gloves are on for now, but there's still more than five weeks to go. didn't hit anybody! chris mason, bbc news. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in westminsterfor us. let's talk about the brexit talk today and the context of this campaign and what liberal democrats have been trying to claim that they might be able to deliver.” have been trying to claim that they might be able to deliver. i think there is a big question about whether this will indeed be a brexit election. a lot of people thought that in 2017, it didn't quite turn out like that. whether because of what's happened since then, lots of people watching parliament not being able to deliver on brexit, that message the conservatives are trying to get across tha

the labour party have a 7000 majority — that is a seat where the briggs at party's chairman is standing, which they see is their number one target seat in the uk —— brea ks number one target seat in the uk —— breaks it party. they hope to do very well, and yet at the election in 2017, the conservatives came second. conservatives have said today that they feel being a candidate there in this election. so nigel farage has made a potentially big concession to nigel farage, his request for a brexiteers pact with the conservatives at the election to not stand against each other in seats they view as winnable has not come to pass. so that potentially makes it harder for the come to pass. so that potentially makes it harderfor the brexit come to pass. so that potentially makes it harder for the brexit party to make those advances in places like hartlepool, that they might have wa nted like hartlepool, that they might have wanted to. nigel farage's message to the audience today is that he says labour have taken the votes of people in the northeast for granted forfar votes of people in t

the cyber attacks that have taken place to place yesterday against the labour party platform. it was a very serious cyber attack, we have a system in place in our office to protect us against these cyber attacks but it was a very serious attacks but it was a very serious attack against us, so far as we are aware or none of our information was downloaded, and the attack was actually repulsed. the party wouldn't say what systems were affected but insiders sent us this screen grab of one of the campaign tools they use, it says the software is experiencing issues. labour hq maintains the attack failed and all systems stayed online clearly, some we re systems stayed online clearly, some were failing entirely. the type of cyber attack used is known as a distributed denial of service, they can be sophisticated but often they are more basic, ready—made kits can be bought online and launched from a hacker ‘s bedroom for example. labour has appointed any fingers yet but it says it's seen similar attacks range from russia and brazil. with this type of attack what happens is the hacke

the prime minister contrasted that with the labour party. they have these unaffordable promises, money being spread around, and people will say, we cannot lend to you at these low interest rates. nicky morgan, thank you. before borisjohnson went into deliver his speech, one of the three spinners came up to me and said, it will not be a game changer but ina said, it will not be a game changer but in a way, that is ok for t johnson, they do not have to change the game, because broadly they think this election is going to plan. norman, thank you very much. norman smith in telford. more to come. the bbc‘s reality check team are assessing the conservative manifesto pledges. 0ur correspondent has joined me. specifically the issue of hospital car parking charges. it has been a controversial issue over the past couple of years, whether you're somebody who's going to get treatment at a hospital, somebody visiting a relative or someone who works for the nhs, any majority of cases you will be charged. if we look at the average hospital car park and w

she didn‘t want to leave the labour party, she was driven out of the labour party. we saw louise ellman in the same position. anybody as a party leader in that situation should be very clearly, examining their conscience about what is happening in that party. even now, he doesn‘t do it. he dismisses the problem is even there. he is not fit to be prime minister of our united kingdom. applause. daily record. i am not a girly swot, so daily record. i am not a girly swot, so you will have to explain this. how can you be for a second referendum on europe but against a democratic mandate for a second referendum on independence? if the majority of lib dems got the majority of lib dems got the majority to stay in europe, surely the majority is to leave the uk? let me explain howl the majority is to leave the uk? let me explain how i see the difference in those two issues? we are currently in a gridlock, a crisis, an impasse which is about the brexit issue. politics is focusing on precious little else and it needs to be resolved. we believe the best way to resolve that is

and you are a member of the labour party. so you have very good credentials when it comes to talking about labour. i want to come back to a statement from the chief rabbi. he says that within the jewish community there is anxiety. what does he mean by anxiety? how do you see that anxiety? i see anxiety is a mix of the past of the present. what has happened in the past and how does it reflect on the present. anxiety stops you doing something bad, stops you tripping up and says ta ke bad, stops you tripping up and says take care. so you look at the facts oi'i take care. so you look at the facts on the table, you look at a person interviewed half an hour ago who wouldn't apologise. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn who was in a television debate last week who lied and said that the cases have been dealt with. and you have lord faulkner saying the opposite. this makes you anxious because you are fearful, what is this like forjews? what is this like for muslims or anyone else who is other. this is not about jews at all. this is about

it says that mr corbyn has "rejected" the chief rabbi's claims about the labour party. and finally the independent, which looks at study into tactical voting by campaigners for a further brexit referendum. let us have a closer look at this. let's start with the telegraph. mo, corbin refuses to apologise to dues. ——jew. corbin refuses to apologise to dues. -- jew. it feels like summer he seems to be the hardest word. i think there was already a letter this morning from the chief rabbi and another date of negative headlines forjeremy corbyn and labour party and is really a succession of this failure to deal with anti—semitism quickly and effectively, i think, with anti—semitism quickly and effectively, ithink, which with anti—semitism quickly and effectively, i think, which has led to this break—out of trust within the jewish community. to this break—out of trust within thejewish community. clearly not thejewish community. clearly not the headlines labour wanted to see but why not say sorry? rachel, should he have apologised?” but why not say sorry? rachel

the labour party have a page but they do not use it. jeremy corbyn has a page which is very active and not many followers but they are putting a lot of effort into it. maybe they are seeing potential donors. linkedin has 27 million users so much bigger than you twitter but not the sort of place you would expect to see campaigning happening. we are going to have to leave it there. and the prime minister is on the campaign trail again today in the south west. let's speak to our political correspondent ben wright, who's travelling with the prime minister. tell us what is happening. warnings from dominic cummings about the conservatives not being complacent in the wake of this recent polling. what are they saying? first stop the day is devon where we will be for the rest of the day. 12 seats, most of them tory health, two labour. thierry bellaston was a tory mp elected in the last election standing as a lib dem. dominic cummings has stepped down from his role because of the general election. he is prone to writing very long blogs setting ou

so this is a key target seat forjeremy corbyn‘s labour party. when it came to the brexit vote the result was decisive, with 57% in favour of leaving the european union. for a key constituency where so much rides on the opinion of farmers, we wanted to know exactly what's on their minds in the last few weeks of this campaign. steady, steady, that'll do. this land feeds us. that'll do! its pasture, its livestock, and neil perkins, a son and steward of this soil, is farming in challenging times. it's a constant worry all the time, just looking and going through all the figures and just basically seeing how we're going to make it through the next month and keep going, really. margins have always been tight, but neil's fear is that welsh lamb could flood the uk market, driving down prices, if there's no post brexit trade deal with europe. two hours‘ drive away, at the royal welsh winter fair, amidst the prized cows and tractors, is a stand offering mental health advice for hard—pressed farmers. emma picton—jones understands the pressures. and t

, the labour party, and he says a baby on brexit, warning cabinet dissenters. we need to be focused i guess is the message. he is trying to get eve ryo ne message. he is trying to get everyone in line, and the guardian is ascribing him as uncharacteristically assertive, but his point is, listen, the brexit issue has been established, talked about, we spent enough energy on it, let's move on, let's think about how this general election can be used to talk about more important things which to hedge mind arc social justice, climate change, and the party had already said that the brexit strategy was if they were to come into power, they would renegotiate with the eu within the first three months of them taking control, and then put that to a referendum to the british people. he is saying that our plan is laid out, let's not talk about it, let's use oui’ let's not talk about it, let's use our energy to talk about what people are looking for. as leader of the labor party, that would be a good strategy, wouldn't you think?m seems so. strategy, wouldn't you think?m s

the labour party thinks this is a big, bold offer which may well prove popular with millions of voters. but it could well be very controversial, too. there are questions about its credibility and who would really pick up the tab. and a reminder, if any was really needed, that although both the main parties are promising to spend more on public services in this election, but there is fundamentally a dramatic difference of opinion between the conservatives and the labour party on how big the role of the state should be, and how much they should get involved in the markets. but for the labour party, i think no question, in this campaign so think no question, in this campaign so far, this is the boldest promise yet but they are making to the public. our business editor simon jack has spoken to bt. he says that bt claim the initiative would be far more expensive than labour has suggested. they also say that they would nationalise it by buying bits of it ata nationalise it by buying bits of it at a price that parliament decides. now, it is very unlikely that parliament would decide to pay ab

i'm not going to take you pictures from the labour party. in stark contrast we provided important guidelines to other law enforcement agencies how to go about the business and the commissioner, mister speaker in the words he is doing to review these matters but i tell you what's, mister speaker, if it comes to a position in this country where prime minister's and politicians decide who gets prosecuted and who doesn't get prosecuted without taking the appropriate advice or seeing the release that is required under legislation we get to the point the leader of the opposition wants to arbitrarily, arbitrarily outside the law decide who gets prosecuted and who doesn't, mister speaker, then that is the country australians would want to live in. >> the sprinting season is in full flow and australia. the season has gone out of celebrations for a media report highlighting the promise of raising organizations to provide racehorses. >> the members -- >> my question is for the prime minister. the sickening revelations last week exposed the horses in qu

ma nifesto we will see with the labour manifesto as we had this week, the labour party is making a big push on environmental policies, what they called the green industrial revolution. a bit like when the previous government introduced, or tried to really change up apprenticeships and tried to really encourage business to take on apprentices, there is always warm feelings for the notion on the principle behind it, but then they tend to get very cross and upset about the government handling of it. the current government's apprenticeship levy has become bureaucratic and cumbersome and a lot of people in the business committee do not like it. that is one of the reasons they look at lots of interventions that labour would wa nt to of interventions that labour would want to make. really, would we trust as they see it with the private sector doing more? iwas as they see it with the private sector doing more? i was talking to a big group of business people at the cba this morning, and i have to say, there is a lot of real concern about both of the main parties are. a lot of worry about labour

party have been making not just the claim that the labour party have been making notjust today but throughout this campaign, but all that said, it is very clear that as everin that said, it is very clear that as ever in this modern election, the traditional battle over public services is a big part of what the parties are vying over, not least because they both know public services are a huge important area to people around the country. laura, thanks forjoining us. in glasgow — nicola sturgeon has launched the scottish national party's manifesto — with a promise to ‘escape brexit and put scotland‘s future in scotland's hands‘. the first minister said a second independence referendum next year would be a condition of her party‘s support — in the event of a hung parliament. among the key pledges in the snp manifesto are — the eventual removal of the nuclear deterrent trident — powers over drug policy to be handed to the scottish parliament as well as control over employment law. with more — here‘s our scotland editor sarah smith. nicola sturgeon is not a candidate in this

labour council, ifighting led by katrina, the labour party and the labour council, i fighting the closure of your women and children's ce ntre closure of your women and children's centre and the downgrading of the a&e department. that is absolutely crucial. to me, that is real politics, bringing people together to stand up for the community. that is why i became an mp in the first place. i never thought that mp5 are special individuals with unique wisdom. it is not supposed to be a glamorousjob. sorry, wisdom. it is not supposed to be a glamorous job. sorry, katrina, wisdom. it is not supposed to be a glamorousjob. sorry, katrina, it is an ordinaryjob. glamorousjob. sorry, katrina, it is an ordinary job. but glamorousjob. sorry, katrina, it is an ordinaryjob. but it is a platform for your community, not for yourself and that is howl platform for your community, not for yourself and that is how i see it. when i was elected to the leadership of this party i was proud to have the chance to extend that principle into everything that we do. to what labour at the heart of communities, standing

this is a manifesto, and like the labour party ma nifesto, manifesto, and like the labour party manifesto, where the labour party is hoping its manifesto will turn the tide and clawback the conservative lead in the opinion polls, actually, the conservative manifesto is one they don't want people to notice too much. 0ne cabinet minister has said that it would be ideal if, by tomorrow evening, everybody forgets the manifesto. well, let's look at this aspect of the labour manifesto. we are going to turn to the front page of the guardian, because when you look at that graphic that is on the front page, which accompanies this story, it really does lay out the spending differences between the parties, doesn't it? yes, it is a fantastic traffic. you can see the extent of the differential between what labour are promising, massive extra spending, the lib dem is also quite a bit extra, and they will be increasing taxes to pay for it, to some degree. where is the tories don't want to increase taxes. so they are trying to be more modest in they are trying to be more modest in the spending. but this

i feel like there's no but to vote for the labour party. the brexit party. the conservatives. the lib dems. it began in scotland, this breaking of the bond between parties and their traditional base. labour's long domination here once seemed as fixed as the forth bridge's. the conservatives have been all but wiped out, but the independence referendum of 2014 changed all that. after it, voters began putting their position on independence ahead of old party loyalties. the snp swept labour away, the conservatives revitalised. a referendum had changed the landscape of party allegiance. the question is, is a similar realignment now happening in the rest of britain over brexit? does your identity as a remainer or a leaver now trump the party you've traditionally supported ? i wrote in to the yorkshire post... it already has forjason aldiss. he's been a prominent tory activist for years and was a constituency chairman, but he's a remainer and will now vote for the party he believes most likely to defeat his old conservative friends. what will it feel like for somebody like you to put

we had heavy criticism about the governments's response from the labour party. jeremy corbyn turning the narrative to some extent until one of austerity, talking about cuts to public services like the environment agency. labour and the lib dems announcing millions of pounds they would plough into flood defences. borisjohnson pounds they would plough into flood defences. boris johnson is pounds they would plough into flood defences. borisjohnson is chairing this cobra committee, this emergency committee this afternoon. the prime minister will want to be seen as getting on the front foot in terms of this incident to try and show his government is dealing with this and is there to help communities. we have heard from ministers that they are concerned, the government is taking action but over the course of the day increasingly political pressure on boris johnson. thank you very much indeed. 0ur political correspondent at westminster. 0ur correspondent, tom barton, is in doncasterfor us, wherejeremy corbyn is visiting. the criticism that some were level againjeremy c

that is pa rt of labour party scrap trident? that is part of our programme, we are standing asa part of our programme, we are standing as a party to the abolition of nuclear weapons is of our objective. negotiations between and the labour party or any other parties are something for after the election and we will try to press as much as we can of our programme. a lot of which we have in common with the labour party. the breaking point is the respect for the scottish parliament. what is your priority, if you are talking to voters is it a second referendum or is itjust no brexit? we are saying this election offers a n brexit? we are saying this election offers an opportunity both to escape brexit and to demand the right to choose a better future. in many ways, as both and i think the whole brexit debate at westminster and the chaos that has descended upon that has turbo—charged here and it is leaving a lot of people are thinking about scottish independence. we are picking up on the doorstop there is a lot of appetite for people

had their own colourful exchange about the labour's party stance on leave or remain, while they spoke to iain watson. there were many occasions on which jeremy corbyn was asked about his position on brexit. he couldn't a nswer position on brexit. he couldn't answer the question. andrew talks about bringing people together. he wa nts to about bringing people together. he wants to bring people together by having another referendum ? wants to bring people together by having another referendum? that is divisive, it would suck all the oxygen out of our political system, it would mean we would not be able to move on and invest in our nhs, invest in schools, invest in crime. but more than that, if you are a leader, you need to have a clear view. now, at the end of an hour of questioning, we do not know, in that referendum that jeremy corbyn questioning, we do not know, in that referendum thatjeremy corbyn want so referendum thatjeremy corbyn want so much, whether he would argue for leave or remain. i don't know which way andrew would argue. would you argue for leave, andrew, or remain? well,

there was the sdp alliance and the divisions in the labour party so the vote was very much water down. and also sort ofa time very much water down. and also sort of a time when extremes and people we re of a time when extremes and people were moving towards the extremes and that was why labour had that crushing defeat then. what i want to know from that year is did they have so know from that year is did they have so many gaffes and own goals with new candidates because that if something else that is happening. they did not have social media. something else that they know is that 11 labour campaigns have come under pressure to quit and many have quit over anti—semitic remarks or sexist or inappropriate remarks. we have the shylock coming from one of them who used a jewish hustler that he knew about that claim not to know that it was a jewish lawyer. —— a jewish slurve. we had other comparing israel to child abuse. —— jewish slur. the inability to deal anti—semitism in the party and they select a whole load of candidates who seem five seconds all of this was uncovered. anot

you had a labour party who insisted oi'i you had a labour party who insisted on moving to the hard left and despite what people at the heart of the party thought, they made themselves and elect ball. i think jeremy corbyn and his core team have vitriolic hatred for centrism of new labour as they did for the conservatives. certainly in the way they talk about some of these blair writes as if they never had a place in the party anyway. that's fine. you can have ideological purity. but it makes it difficult to get elected when you need to talk to people who don't agree with you. they seem to think that this enthusiasm in the campaign fora kind think that this enthusiasm in the campaign for a kind of gentler politics has not been that much kinder nor gentler recently but they do look like they will be in trouble because if you are only talking to those who agree to you it is hard to convince others to vote. the great lesson of tony blair is that you don't win number 10 without winning liberal ground. it is absolutely crucial that you appeal to the centre ground. you cannot only preach to th

significance is related because the labour party, somewhat like that chicago teachers union and other unionos that have reformed, decided when this leadership got into power to invest in organizing departmentnt. this is sosomething the ctu did and others did and now something that a major political party, the biggest social democratic party in europe, has put money into. i wrote a big feature e this susummer about the labour party community organizing unit that is doing work on the ground but also in places where landlords are abusing their tenants, and newcastle the owner of the football team, which is beloved by the entire community, is also one of the country's biggest low-wage employers. they're taking these issues that people face every single day and saying the labour party cacares abouout these anand we're goingo organize with you u around these now. then when electioion time comes, they're hoping that pays off and those people are feeling a connection to the labour party that maybe t they have not dealt and their entire lifetime. amy: i want to thank you both for joinining us.

been preparing for a commute would have thought, and the labour party apparently has not been, it would be forgiven for thinking they have not prepared very much for this campaign giving what we have been seeing in other papers. don't forget to him in the referendum campaign boris was for brexit, nigel farage was for brexit and they were not in the same campaign. and the antipathy that was there in that referendum has continued. so actually getting a deal, one suspects, between two people who have not been very friendly to each other certainly in public cannot be very easy. you do wonder, even after four o'clock tomorrow if the polls narrow towards election day, there's nothing to stop some candidates, certain candidates withdrawing or saying we are no longer a candidate, don't vote for us. it seems to be ludicrous when there are, what are talks, what are negotiations? when i used to work in football we used to say when is the meeting, if you meet someone say when is the meeting, if you meet someone in the left, have you had a meeting? you actually have. and so these unofficial talks ha

the policies of the labour party appeal to a lot of people. do you think thatjeremy corbyn's approach to brexit, and it took so long for him to outline his stance... he is not a good leader, but he does lead a party a very good policies. now, i would prefer keir starmer to be in his place today. if keir starmer was in his place, it would be extraordinary. the debate with boris johnson, for starters. but it is a question, what is it aboutjeremy that so scares you, that every time he is like the big which is coming? conservatives generally feel that his policies would take us backwards economically, would not be able to serve the people that he purports to wa nt to serve the people that he purports to want to represent. and also it is hardly a party for everybody, is it? yesterday, the first day of their campaign, effectively, thejewish labour movement said they wouldn't campaignfor labour movement said they wouldn't campaign for their own party. yes, and the tories have a problem with muslims. there is no party without this taint of actually ra

then we have the labour party also got their ma nifesto labour party also got their manifesto which we are going to get clear details later on this week. we understand they hammered it out yesterday. there was a bit of a question about what happens in terms of freedom of movement because at the party conference grassroot members had said that they wanted to extend freedom of movement. jeremy corbyn has addressed that issue today. we understand that in their ma nifesto today. we understand that in their manifesto there is not going to be an explicit attempt to extend freedom of movement but he was talking about how from his perspective what he thinks those members were talking about is family reunion. those immigrants who had come to the uk and the right they have to bring their family over later on. he was saying they are being agreement with the principle of that but it obviously needs to be looked at in some detail. explaining that element of it. we understand that element of it. we understand that in the labour party manifesto there is going to be some policy in their around regulat

however if labour is the biggest party on december 13 if labour is the biggest party on december13 and it if labour is the biggest party on december 13 and it is yet to secure a majority the snp at that point wants to support labour votes on a vote by vote basis, not a kind of dup tory style deal than they can do that. and perhaps in that mix would be an independence forum —— referendum for scotland. they want to keep them at an arm's length at the moment because the tory campaign are poised and ready to try and push this narrative and in a manner that they did with the miliband and alex salmond, thatjeremy corbyn will offer another referendum in which then there will be another referendum on the eu and on the uk itself. two toxic referendums is the mantra they like to drum. and that is why as soon asjeremy corbyn suggested he may be willing to offer the scottish parliament referendum, the scottish parliament referendum, the tories claim that that is a definite thing and when would he like to hold it? it could be the price that he is forced to pay for a hung parliament. and then th

policy on brexit, is what is the position of the leader of the labour party on whether he wants to come out of the european union. —— fermat's last theorem. if you cannot supply a fight with barely 18 days to go until poll is open, i do not see how you can credibly take this country see how you can credibly take this cou ntry forward see how you can credibly take this country forward or get a deal. that is the issue. the mysteries continues to deepen, i invite, all wonderful colleagues to redouble their efforts to send out search parties, to find this elusive, this like shergar, this... laughter this fact that i think a great deal depends on members of the public would be fascinated to know, because u nless we would be fascinated to know, because unless we know that fact it is very ha rd to unless we know that fact it is very hard to make sense of anything that labour says about their plans for next year. listen, everybody thank you very much. i want to say, this is... this is... applause this is going to be a... a very very important election, it will be a very very close fought, a

, the conservatives, the labour party have led the polls. we‘ve also seen academic research by the british election study showing that is more swing voters than ever before, more voters are more willing to move within the parties. that level of unpredictability makes it out of work out where we‘re going to end up with election campaign. geographically, when you look at the map of britain, other any clear patterns in terms of seats that are threatened or it is obvious where the different leaders are targeting. what we are seeing geographically is, there are some different pictures. firstly, if we talk about the conservatives losing seats, despite holding quite a comfortable lead over the labour party in the polls, we‘d expect on current polling, they will lose some of those easily gained in scotland at the last election because the snp are doing well. to lose potential licensees to the liberal democrats in the south—west of england because the lib dems are doing quite well relative to the conservatives. the other thing with the lib de

look, i don't choose the leader of the labour party. if i did,i leader of the labour party. if i did, i would leader of the labour party. if i did, iwould not leader of the labour party. if i did, i would not usejeremy corbyn. so that probably gives you the a nswer to so that probably gives you the answer to the question. if labour wa nted answer to the question. if labour wanted to change as leader, i would not have any great objections to that. i suppose i should caveat that by saying i should wait and see who they want to change it to. but i‘m not in charge of that decision, and that‘s the fact of the matter. we are part of a westminster system right now, scotland as part of a westminster system, if we want to make sure that scotland‘s interests are as protective as it is possible to have them in that westminster system, and it is a deeply flawed system, and it is a deeply flawed syste m fro m system, and it is a deeply flawed system from that perspective, then the snp has to be prepared to exercise its influence in that way. and i would far rather scotland wasn‘t

yes, the labour party said it will ta ke yes, the labour party said it will take parts of the bt group related to rolling out broadband, 0penreach that lays the cable, and the enterprise and consumer broadband businesses, take all those into public ownership, that new company called british broadband. to do that they will need to buy back the shares because bt has shares owned by shareholders, and will have to come up with a fair price for those because they could be challenged in court to prove they gave shareholders a fair price. they will buy those back with government bonds rather than cash. that is their plan. that is what. that is their plan. that is what. that is their plan. that is what. that is their plan to renationalise the infrastructure. people are asking the question, why fibre broadband? there is a suggestion that will be updated by 2030. i have seen people on twitter asking whether for fibre broadband may i have seen people on twitter asking whetherforfibre broadband may be outdated. it is only ten years away. it is difficult to see. full fibre to the house is the gold

they do seem alarmed by some of the labour party policy. tom: to move forward to your amateur,terview, as an when i look at the polls, it tells me the liberal democrat votes are important. can conservatives pull the liberal democrats away from their natural inclination to go to labor? >> i think with the tories are focusing on is maintaining their own seats. that is becoming easier with the brexit party deciding not to compete with many of them. they are trying to get those leave seats in the north of england away from the labour party. they are going to be trying to win those over. you are right that the liberal democrats could play a part. if boris johnson fails to form any government, if he were to be the biggest party, it would fall to the opposition labor party. they would have to reach around the house to try to form the some kind of coalition or loose supply arrangement. that is where the liberal democrats are most likely to play their part and why anything other than a tory majority looks as if we could get a second referendum on br

because we know whose side we the labour party are on. jeremy corbyn has been taking sides on many issues, promising to take on the elite on behalf of what he calls the many. but on brexit, the labour leader is keeping his cards close to his chest. well, nick told me more about lays behind the timing of jeremy corbyn‘s announcement to stay neutral on brexit. he has that a lot of pressure over the last week, he was asked repeatedly what he would do if there is a referendum. it was an uncomfortable question for the labour leader because by not answering it he looked equivocal on what is perhaps the biggest issue facing the country but at the same time he has been walking a tightrope for some time and is essentially continuing with that balancing act and what he has announced. we know many labour candidates including some of his closest allies in the shadow cabinet, people who will be central and a labour government effort is one, they want to remain, they have made clear they will back remain matter what, they are not going to change thei

the labour party says it's obtained documents that show the nhs has formed part of talks with the united states about a trade agreement after brexit. jeremy corbyn says the papers are "proof" that the conservatives would put the nhs at risk. the prime minister has dismissed labour's claims as "absolute nonsense". heres our political editor, laura kuenssberg, her report contains flashing images. a quiet entrance was the last thing he wanted. after a tough 2a hours, the labour leader hoped as dramatically as he could to change the subject. a51 pages. brandishing what he claimed was new hard evidence that the tories secretly wanted to sell off the health service. now we know the truth, whenjohnson says, get brexit done, it is a fraud on the british people. this is the reality. years of bgged down negotiations, and our nhs is up for sale. years of bogged down negotiations, and our nhs is up for sale. the documents were then handed out by nhs staff, including labour members wearing their scrubs. the papers do show there've been talks between the uk and the us about a future trade deal. they d
