when you have the conservative party... prime minister of the time seeming to dismissal of these things, not even acknowledging there is a problem, what other muslim community supposed to do when they see case after case being dismissed, when you have over 30 counsellors or former counsellors are found by the guardian and by lbc to have committed different forms of islamophobia? and no action taken, no transparency, no idea what is happening with these individuals. what are muslim community supposed to do? and i think what's really important is that we stand up and we say we want action stop we think it is very important the conservative party ta kes is very important the conservative party takes it seriously and doesn't pretend there's a zero tolerance policy, as boris johnson pretend there's a zero tolerance policy, as borisjohnson said last week, doesn't pretend that they are dealing with every form of wretchedness, and they would be out first bounce, as he said —— every form of prejudice. are you saying that muslims

see the big issues now and bricks in the conservative party promises to get its deal through parliament by the end of december and leave the e.u. in january labor says it will come up with its own deal and put it to a public vote within 6 months and that would include an option to remain boris johnson's about a festive freezes the tax rate of 80 national insurance and income tax while germany corbin's will raise taxes for people earning more than $100000.00 a year both parties have made a big pledge to the national health system the tories are promising $50000.00 more nesses labor is saying it will increase spending by more than 4 percent a year and labor's announced a 5 $115000000000.00 fund to tackle climate change and to achieve most of its emissions reductions by the 2030s while the conservative party's recommitted to its goal of being carbon neutral by 2050. let's now go to our guests joining us all from london we have tony travers fest a professor at the school of public policy in the department of government at the london school of economics we also have alan wager who is a resea

these core individuals in the conservative party... people that believed in good government, you could see that they had the interest of the country at heart and were not going to play politics with you. and they have lost not only philip hammond, and without the wip, he is no longer a conservative mp. so many others who have come a working—class girl from sheffield, good for the idea of the broader conservative party and as a political strategy, borisjohnson has chosen to surround himself by people who are light years away from the individuals that we have just been discussing. and he may pay a heavy price for that. on the telegraph, a lovely story, bottom left in the news in brief as they used to be known. about queen and for. phil if she buys a new fur coat in the future, it would not be real for. the standard is being made for fur codes. it is the end of an era in the house of lords and if you wa nt in the house of lords and if you want to see the queen wearing real fur, it will have to be at home. want to see the queen wearing r

these are still candidates for the conservative party. the conservatives say they have suspended some of those members, and it's promising to hold an investigation into all forms of prejudice within the party by the end of the year. but that investigation was originally supposed to deal with islamophobia exclusively. not any more. here's sajid javid, the chancellor, defending that policy. nothing's going to be watered down. we are absolutely committed to doing everything we can, doing more to root out any kind of prejudice amongst anyone who has got any association with the conservative party. there is no excuse for it. i am, the prime minister is. it's worth remembering the prime minister himself has been accused of using islamophopic language. last year, boris johnson wrote an article defending the right of muslim women to wear the burqa, but in that article, he said those women "look like letter boxes". sajid javid today said the prime minister used that language in an article to "defend the rights of women". he says the prime minister

the conservative party. now is the right time to do this, but if they choose not to, we will stand up and do this on our own, 17.4 million people voted brexit, and they deserve to get it. thank you. applause interesting comments from nigel farage that could steal your —— steer the direction of this campaign in many ways, that he is prepared to work ina in many ways, that he is prepared to work in a leave alliance to help the conservatives deliver brexit, but it depends on what sort of brexit the conservatives want. he said he is also prepared to do this entirely on his own and field candidates in every constituency in england, scotla nd every constituency in england, scotland and wales. let's listen to the question and answer session. how many mps will your side if he does acce pt many mps will your side if he does accept the deal and how long has he got to consider this deal? —— how many mps will you stand? nominations close on the 14th of november, so they have got until the 14th of november to do

i think the labour party obviously won't be displeased with the way the conservative party's launch has gone so far today, although as you mentioned the official launch, the event in the wizards, that is happening in a —— west midlands, that is happening in a short space of time. with a party launch day, what is customary, they get to set out policies and ideas, what is striking in terms of what borisjohnson has what is striking in terms of what boris johnson has been what is striking in terms of what borisjohnson has been saying so far and which will hear some of the same m essa 9 es and which will hear some of the same messages this evening, it is along the lines of what we has been outlining, he says he doesn't want an election, this has been forced on him bya an election, this has been forced on him by a stubborn parliament but a conservative government would get brexit done and be able to focus on important issues like the nhs and schools investment. i think that is interesting because borisjohnson has constantly been focussing on this idea of putting more money into public ser

the conservative party and boris johnson has a symbol of the conservative party and borisjohnson has said the issue is one he will take seriously. jeremy corbyn has raised it again and again in this campaign already, saying we need to decarbonise the economy and we organise the way it is based around carbon emissions. this has already featured highly in the election campaign and we will have to wait to see what promises are in the election campaign and we will have to wait to see what promises 0n will have to wait to see what promises on the manifestos but they have said they will commit to planting 30 million trees and the lib dems have gone further and said they will plant 60 million. it looks another area in which they will get one—upmanship on each other. another area in which they will get one-upmanship on each other. they say money doesn't grow on trees but let's hope trees grow on trees. good morning. joe gomez was knocked on the knee in training yesterday and has not recovered enough to travel. henderson has a viral infection and has returned to his club. england had to the

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, right and centre the money will flow into the nhs and the english education system once again. they are relying on voters having a short attention span and not linking up short attention span and not linking up each day of his election campaign to the one who preceded it. ultimately, this is about money and the public trust the figures they are hearing.1.2 the public trust the figures they are hearing. 1.2 trillion, thousands of billions of pounds, what does it really mean? the reality is and we have seen it in our own research at the john smith cent

davis and this the conservative party candidate. from one side and the more promising labor has not done enough for the area and it must finally be implemented so that other things can be dealt with again and again obviously people are worried about. commitments not here on the ground it's about stuff i think all day today and the biggest issue we have is on our local health. as an evening event in a pub hardly anyone says they will vote for labor even if they have done so in the past yes they all want to leave the e.u. and believe that only a tory government will deliver that to the north of if england has always been a live for the working man where the conservative party are always for the rich a paper the the more affluent people and with breakfast i genuinely think there's been a huge shift in people's attitudes. i do strongly delay's the conservative party is going to win. the people of bishop of oakland almost all agree they voted for greg said and now they want their voices had for far too long they have felt ignored by peti

because otherwise it is not entirely clear in this election where the conservative party will pick up seats, given that it will lose some in scotland, it will probably lose some in south—west london. and there are some labour seats out there which had a very strong leave vote, for example dudley north, 70% plus, and the majority for the labour party in austin is less than i%, it is 0.1%. ten seats listed by the telegraph are potentially up for grabs for the brexit party. telegraph are potentially up for grabs for the brexit partym telegraph are potentially up for grabs for the brexit party. it will be really interesting, won't it? this radio interview was timed to precede the brexit party's party launch, which nigel farage is going to reveal, i suppose. he has candidates across the country, and they have already said, the conservative party, borisjohnson, has said they will not be doing a deal with nigel farage. there are people, of course, who would argue that the conservative party has moved significantly to the right a nyway moved significantly to the right anyway and has become

how do people trust the conservative party when their twitter account is putting out information like that? it is so obvious that it is edited. following that encounter, those watching were encouraged by the breakfast presenters to give their feedback and many did. david from southampton wrote... but that was a minority view of viewers who contacted newswatch. wendy was more typical. a viewer called roger agreed. later in the week the heat was turned on the labour party with the resignation of its deputy leader tom watson being widely reported. it was swiftly followed by former minister ian austin who resigned from the party in february saying thatjeremy corbyn was, in his words, completely unfit to be prime minister. that line featured in the headlines on thursday's news at one. "vote conservative", the call from a former labour mp who urges people to vote for borisjohnson instead ofjeremy corbyn. who he says is completely unfit to lead the country. again there were objections, this time from the other side of the political divide. that bbc news was making something out of nothing, d

so far, the conservative party and boris johnson himself well. so far, the conservative party and borisjohnson himself has ruled out any electoral pact between the tories and the brexit party. they make the argument with the deal on the table borisjohnson has negotiated with the eu, the conservatives are in the best place to deliver on the results of the referendum in 2016 and that a vote for the brexit party, in the conservatives eyes, is doing nothing but helping jeremy corbyn into downing street. we will hear arguments against that from nigel farage later this morning when he launches the brexit party's campaign for the general election this year. there has been a debate going on within the party about what the strategy should be. should they field hundreds of candidates all over the uk, with the aim of making a dents in the conservative party plasma majority in certain seats and eating into their vote, making the argument boris johnson does eating into their vote, making the argument borisjohnson does not brexit deal is an in nigel farage's e

the conservative party. how sophisticated a campaign machine do you think the brexit party have and how well will they be able to fight this election? party have and how well will they be able to fight this election7m party have and how well will they be able to fight this election? it will bea able to fight this election? it will be a significant campaign. a few things to keep in mind — nigel farage has won many election campaigns before, many of the people helping him at this campaign went through the 2015 campaign with him, when, of course, ukip polled a significant level of support. it‘s also just been revealed significant level of support. it‘s alsojust been revealed in significant level of support. it‘s also just been revealed in the last few days that the brexit party‘s using voter targeting technology from the us and is mainly going to use that to target conservative cat might leave voters. that‘s not going to matter in lots of safe conservative seat in the south—eastern sum along coast

and the conservative party and islamophobia is rife in the conservative party, racism was the conservative party, racism was the only thing guiding our conscience it would be a difficult decision. shouldn't we look at the ma nifestos decision. shouldn't we look at the manifestos of parties and judge who shows the most care, compassion and fairness and then vote? for me, that's the labour party. i can't speakfor the that's the labour party. i can't speak for the conscience of the chief rabbi. you are welcome to get in touch, send us an e—mail. you can message us on in touch, send us an e—mail. you can message us on twitter. now, black friday bargains aren't as good as they seem. sorry to break it to you. an investigation by the consumer group which? has found just 1—in—20 deals was cheaper during the annual sales than at other times of the year. examples include a tumble dryer that was £20 cheaper than its sale price of £199 just two weeks before black friday and a coffee machine priced at £399 that was cheaper on at least 64 days in the six months after. neena bhati is head of c

i think it is undoubtedly a conversation happening within certain parts of the conservative party. the barrenness has been one of the most vocal people, how big that becomes is really hard to tell because today, despite this having come out this morning, and michael gove being on the today programme, the way the day has developed, still lots of focus on the nhs and other policy areas and inevitably brexit. i don't think it's going to go away is an issue because it has been around for a while now and i think, if they promised whatever the outcome of the election, they are going to hold an enquiry. there are going to hold an enquiry. there are going to hold an enquiry. there are going to be a lot of people looking at the terms of it. it's important to say a lot of the stuff that's come out in the public domain, it's around party members, people who call themselves party members. as the kind of level it is. on the question is whether the party has been robust enough. of course, they are but i don't think that is going to go away anytime soon and we will have to see if it does continue

but the conservative party has also been accused by the muslim council of britain of failing to deal with islamophobia. if anybody is done for islamophobia, or indeed any other prejudice or discrimination in the conservative party, they're out first bounce. and the united nations says the world has to act much faster to avoid dangerous levels of global warming. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the former conservative advisor mo hussein and the author and journalist rachel shabi. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and it isjeremy corbyn‘s bbc interview with andrew neil this evening that is dominating the headlines. let's start with the daily telegraph. corbyn refuses to say sorry to jews, refering to his refusal to directly apologise over his handling of anti—semitism in the labour party. the daily express asks, has corbyn‘s horror show gifted boris the keys to number ten? and, staying with that story, the metro has this headline, "corbyn: chief rabbi wrong," and this picture of him at the launch of the

s as he watches the conservative party's election as he watches the conservative pa rty‘s election campaign as he watches the conservative party's election campaign and it will be an attempt by borisjohnson to rally the troops for the weeks ahead andi to rally the troops for the weeks ahead and i think we can expect some very familiar messages from mr johnson. the one we heard him deliver in downing street this morning when he officially gave the word that the election campaign was under way and the one we've heard from him over the last few weeks which as it is a vote for the conservatives in his eyes that is a vote to quote the slogan we are very familiar with now get brexit done. he has negotiated a new deal against the odds which many people said he would not be able to do and it is only because parliament has consistently blocked that and tried to find ways to delay the brexit process. this election is being called in the first place. the prime minister will speak to conservative party members, candidates, activists here tonight. we will also see some high—profile figures from the ca

yes, well, i think that is a headline that will go down well with cc hq, the conservative party headquarters. because it definitely puts boris johnson on the front foot. obviously this refers to the press conference that the brexit party held today. and while certainly not an olive branch, more of a poisoned chalice that the leader of the brexit party offer the conservatives, that they will co—operate with them, but they have to drop their deal. now he can't seriously have thought that the prime minister was going to do that. the question really is, what effect might this have on the conservatives? because it does mean that the brexit party are intending to stand candidates in as many seats as they can. 600, he said, didn't he? one wonders who is funding all these operations. it also, i think nigel farage must have a long planned here. he must know this is going to be the immediate reaction to tell him not to be silly, they don't need him. but i also wonder whether it has all gone to his head, the fact that donald trump arranged to bring him on his radio show. he's a lwa ys to bring him on

last night showing a lead to the conservative party to the tune of 68 seats. it's up trading at 12930 now we were trading below the 129 level yesterday. so a bit of a brexit bounce for the pound. euro we have pretty much sideways but up at around 1015 we're seeing a small bit for the safe haven currencies, the yen and frank are half a of point higher of course u.s. markets are closed for thanksgiving. let's talk about the european price action and some of these today. you can see the only spot of green is the ibex and only barely so above the flat line trading slightly positive. and telefonica is leading the charge other indexes in europe trading in the negative territory. a level we've been teetering over the last few sessions now the german airline is down in trading as it looks like there may be further industrial action so the mood is pretty negative looking at european markets on what is supposedly a holiday day but not for european traders the cio of press ridge capital joinsous the show. take us back to general market performance. generally the stock 6

this is about a potential deal between the conservatives and brexit party. the financial times have interviewed leader of the liberal democrats, pictured here on several of the front pages of her wearing boxing gloves, she launched a youth and ship today at a boxing gym in london. and this is about her ruling out helping jeremy corbyn into their number ten. why is this so into their number ten. why is this so important? it's very significant because they are arguing the remainder but will be split between the liberal democrats and labour party so it's a similar narrative but on the alternative side of the debate we are seeing with nigel farage and party the conservatives. now it's been very clear and repeated several times that in the borisjohnson norjeremy corbyn in her view are fit to be prime minister, and she is reiterating that message again very strongly and going a bit further i would say which is to say she was pushed on theissue which is to say she was pushed on the issue with laura hughes who is very good at pushing a question... the political corr

a big majority for boris johnson's conservative party in the general election. the s&p hits another record high as the federal reserve upgrades outlook for growth. u.s. stock and bond markets are closed today for thanksgiving. we are less than half an hour to the european equity market opens let's take a look at how futures are set up. we are seeing risk sentiment hey little bit. -- weday, we stop the sox saw the stoxx 600 close one point off a record high. we are dropping from a bit of a high point, weaker on ftse 100, dax, and cac 40 futures. risk off sentiment we are seeing globally after president trump signed the hong kong bill. we have had some comments from the foreign ministry in terms of retaliation that might be causing extra concern. in terms of the u.s. market, yesterday we saw the s&p 500, dow, and nasdaq all close at record highs for a third straight day. u.s. data perhaps help that along along with the fed beige book. in terms of other markets, looking to gmm. we have had a bit of a weaker session in asia. some resilience as well. asia-pacific ind

conservative party, given that in polling it suggests as many as 50% of conservative members felt there was some benefit in doing some kind of alliance with farage in some seat. now, had he offered something like that to borisjohnson, a far more sort of tactical approach, it would have been quite difficult, i think, for the prime minister to have said no to this. but because he, as you quite rightly said, seemed almost to be threatening the conservative party, it is very easy to walk away from it. and i think thatis to walk away from it. and i think that is a much better look across the board for the conservative party, which is after all an established oldest democratic political institution, and all the rest of it. he doesn't really need to be doing these sort of backroom deals with a party like the brexit party. two isn't it interesting that the first thing boris has said after all this is that if you vote for the brexit party you getjeremy corbyn? they are so constantly scared of jeremy corbyn, as if... why are they so... jeremy corbyn, as if... why are they so... what is it about h

as far as it is concerned between the brexit party and the conservative party at the moment it seems to be game on. the difficulty for the brexit party is that the campaign moves beyond brexit quite quickly into other policy areas. this party has only been formed for a few months and was formed originally to fight the european parliament elections. and did very well in those. did very well in those elections. the question is whether it has the policy range it would need for a general election campaign. a general selection of policies will need to be available from all parties. this may hinge on how much it is an election about brexit or how much other parties like labour can steer it onto other issues. it does depend to some extent as to whether this is a brexit election or an election on other issues. it seems likely that the public will want to hear about a range of topics. it will be interesting when the brexit party manifesto comes out to see what they will have there in black and white. we will have to wait a bit longer before we get the full policies. it sounds quite an expensi

later he will launch the conservative party campaign. but the tories are facing a tricky start with questions over jacob rees—mogg's comments on grenfell, a doctored social media video, and fresh controversy with mrjohnson comparing his rivaljeremy corbyn to the soviet dictator, joseph stalin. in an article for the daily telegraph, mrjohnson said the labour leader had a shared "hatred" of wealth creators — a claim dismissed by mr corbyn as "nonsense." so let's take a look at what the start to the general election campaign involves. parliament was dissolved at one minute past midnight, at which point mps reverted to being members of the public. mps lost their title, and stopped representing constituents. but government ministers remain in theirjob. they continue to run their departments and are only replaced when the new government is formed. boris johnson will formally mark the dissolution of parliament when he has an audience with the queen at buckingham palace this morning. we are expecting him to travel there shortly. it marks the

there is some new stuff on islamophobia in the conservative party today. but you have been looking at this for quite a while. yes, what has come out today is the latest tranche of cases. in this instance, conservative councillors or former councillors who have allegedly posted things on social media ofan allegedly posted things on social media of an islamophobic nature. the party has suspended a batch of them, saying those who are party members, we have suspended them, kicked them out, we are taking swift action. but it hasjust out, we are taking swift action. but it has just prompted out, we are taking swift action. but it hasjust prompted this subject again. how did this come to light, both today and when you have been looking over the last few months? i've been looking at it for a while. a lot of this has been led by the a campaigner —— a lot of this has been led by the a campaigner “ mecca a lot of this has been led by the a campaigner —— mecca by a a lot of this has been led by the a campaigner —— mecca bya campaigner on this. at times h

i wasn‘t there for the conservative party. i was thrilled to be there. i should have gone on my bike, they sent a card from me. the real sadness about this whole thing is it was a very important debate. it has been slightly overshadowed with this 0fcom business and people getting upset about it. as far as i am concerned, michael gove was sent forward by the conservative party and channel a said, we don‘t want michael gove, we wa nt said, we don‘t want michael gove, we want the prime minister. tremendously naive on the part of the broadcaster. what is so naive? the other leaders had a view. and the view is that it was a debate amongst leaders, not somebody who wa nted amongst leaders, not somebody who wanted to substitute? do you know how many media fora there are out there that could invite the prime minister? have you any idea of the number of things the prime minister has to do to this is an election campaign. it is an election campaign and he had a pretty full campaign down in the south—west. and he had a pretty full campaign down in the south-w

party having close links with senior figures not just in the governing conservative party but also in figures that were behind the leave campaign that was the campaign that was pushing for britain to exit from the european union so you have for example the wife of the. deputy finance minister russian finance minister who was had spent roughly about $200000.00 as a fund raising event for the conservative party to play tennis with a wonderful from a front for the family. currently on the policy johnson is one of our the number of times is the only reason why it hasn't released it isn't that it's trying to cover up its will because there is no time to follow procedure however those who have been close to the investigation say that actually this findings were submitted on the 17th of october and therefore giving enough time to research on the reason why i don't know if it's a liberation or negative damage to the conservative party leading up to the coming elections i jamal let's let the viewers in on the applause they were hearing on labor leader of the opposition leader jeremy corbyn has

party ma nifesto for details of the conservative party manifesto for the 2019 election. letsjoin manifesto for the 2019 election. lets join proceedings back manifesto for the 2019 election. letsjoin proceedings back in telford. cheering good afternoon, everybody. good afternoon. thank you very much. thank you very much. boris, boris! wonderful to see everybody here today, thank you for coming. we are now, as you know, less than three weeks away from the most critical election in modern memory, when the sta kes for election in modern memory, when the stakes for this country have seldom been higher, and the choice has never been starker. because in the last few days, we have heard from every other party, they have launched their manifestos, and we have heard how they would keep us stuck in the same rot, how they would consign this country to get more delay and yet more frustration and parliamentary paralysis, and how they would refuse yet again to honour the will of the people, how they would refuse, every other party, to get brexit done. the lib dems want to revoke brexit

i don't know if it will be a vote winner because to be fair the conservative party, the party in power at the moment in the uk has also pledged to have full broadband in their case they say by 2025. but they are, they've pledged 5 billion. this is so much more ambitious plan. of course, the labour party is saying it will pre— national part of british telecom as part of that plan and so there is also bubble their and so there is also bubble their and they also say it will be paid for by a new tax on the tech companies that will somehow be the ones responsible. so it is how you are structuring it. this key it, because we all expect greater broadband and that is because lives have changed. more and more is done via online, whether a dish shopping, viewing or whatever. basically, via online, whether a dish shopping, viewing orwhatever. basically, both parties are saying it. labour says it in parties are saying it. labour says itina parties are saying it. labour says it in a different way and it includes renationalisation of the telecoms but for me the key thing is that we have accepted w

last night, a brief reprint of a conservative party twitter —— last night, a brief rebrand of a conservative party twitter account to fact check uk. the conservatives say it was still clear who is running the account, but one senior labour figure says twitter should have taken it down. well, undeterred by self—styled entrances into the fact—checking market, chris morris from bbc reality check is with me now. thank you for making the time. hi, some error. —— hi, samira. has this election already been particularly angry and more contentious, when it comes to doing reality check? yeah, probably. elections are always times when there's a lot of attention on exactly what politicians say — a lot of numbers come out and manifestos. this election is seen as one of the most important for decades. so there's been an awful lot to check, and what we try basically is if we see things received politicians have either misspoken or said something incorrect or misleading, we will write about it. do we spot all of them? no, because a lot of them are about as on many so many hours of the day. do we g

where the conservative party. rich. the more affluent people and with bread i genuinely think there's been a huge shift in people's. i do strongly believe the conservative party is going to when. the people of bishop oakland almost all agree they voted for granted and now they want their voices heard before too long if you can order by petitions in london. and syria was very striking we really try to find people that are backing labor but it was very very difficult we nobody wanted to say on camera that they going to vote labor and even in private conversations a lot of people really express their dismay of the current state of the labor party and it really goes to show that traditional education says at least in the north of england changing it was also striking very hard to share both conservative and labor voices in your report say that this election isn't just about braggs and what else is it about. well particularly the labor party is trying to shift attention to public services to domestic policies they and non-si

davis and this the conservative party candidate. john kerry the main message labor has not done enough for the area and must finally be implemented so that other things can be dealt with. obviously people are worried about. here on the ground. today and the biggest. event in a pub hockey anyone says they will vote for labor even if they have. yes they all want to leave the e.u. and believe the government will deliver that the north of england has always been. where the conservative party. the more affluent people and with. genuinely think the spanish huge shift in people's. i do strongly believe the conservative party is going to when. the people of bishop oakland almost all agree they voted for greg said and now they want their voices heard before too long they have felt ignored by petitions in london. and syria was very striking we really try to find people that are backing labor but it was very very difficult we nobody wanted to say on camera that they going to vote labor and even in private conversations a lot of people really e

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

it's not just happening in the labour party, it is also happening in the conservative party, having the whip withdrawn and dominic grieve, a tory to his core, now finds himself without a party standing as an independent. and splitting the vote. so we had ian austin, john woodcock, tom harris is the third and michael mccann fourth. he was a scottish mp. also in this article is jack straw. i'm interested to know about what you think about his comments in the past? what do you make of this? if he does become prime minister then they are going to have to answer to they are going to have to answer to the electorate for the racism and economic vandalism this vulva going to recon this country. strong words. very strong words. but i think it is prettyjustified by some of the things that the labour party top brass have said in response to all of this. so going back to the times briefly, john mcdonnell accused the jewish chronicle of being behind the times, launching an appeal to non—jewish members of the public about their concerns and accusing him of being behind the times, it sounds like jer

i was not there on behalf of the conservative party. i was there because they invited me and they kindly gave me a badge which said tea m kindly gave me a badge which said team boris. iwas kindly gave me a badge which said team boris. i was thrilled to be there. i think it slightly u nfortu nate, there. i think it slightly unfortunate, this argument over 0fcom and the ice sculptures. it certainly overshadowed an important initiative by channel 4, which was to have a major important debate on the environment, climate change. let‘s go back to some of the basics. where was boris johnson? well, i am not privy, i can tell you that, to the prime minister‘s diary. i do follow the news from time to time. i do see that he was in in the hospital in penzance, the west cornwall hospital. i was born there about 80 years ago. are you saying that‘s what he was? about 80 years ago. are you saying that's what he was? i have no idea where he was. people are naturally curious that he made the decision not to go to this debate on climate change. some
