you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. the former england cricketer lucy person is a headteacher and also a director for the england and wales cricket board. good morning. can we clear up a couple of things. well done, you predicted the all blacks would be ahead. the score i think is 13—8 at the moment. and we were talking to you about hobbyhorse showjumping. and you hadn't heard of it before, you have now! you were saying you used to do that as a child? well, yes, idid. i used to do that as a child? well, yes, i did. ithink we used to do that as a child? well, yes, i did. i think we all galloped around the garden, haven't we all done that. gallopy gallopy. diana from droitwich used to do it as a child. her horses were bean sticks. she had several, all sizes all named. did you have a name for yours7 named. did you have a name for yours? not that i'd have remembered. mike's is called charlie. let us get on to your choice of stories. there is always a fascination with harry potter. what have you picked out? this article is

the party's co—leader, jonathan bartley, was asked earlier on bbc breakfast why voters should vote for them over the labour party, who have some similar manifesto pledges. in 2015 we got more votes than in all the previous general election is put together and we have shifted the labour party in a different direction but they are still not making the right choices, there is no commitment to proportional representation, we cannot tackle air pollution and expand roads and airports. there is no commitment to the big ideas such as the basic income, reform of the welfare state, looking at how we change voting patterns. it is only the green party who are saying that we have got this wave of automation coming in and how we tackle those job losses. we're not going to waste £110 billion renewing trident, which labour says it probably would never use. what a ridiculous thing, it is hms pointless. goldthorpe in barnsley is still recovering from the miners' strike of the 80s. it's a traditional labour heartland that saw pits close all around it — driving huge unemployment that is still an issue
