jeremy corbyn? what i can guarantee is we will bring an end to this debate and have a final say for the people of this country. we can't go on forever saying we represent the 48 or the 52, i want to lead a government that represents the whole country, and the whole community, so we will, within three months negotiate a leave agreement with the european union, that will protect trade and jobs, and the peace process in northern ireland. and put that alongside remain, in a referendum, within six months and that will be the end of the matter. my that will be the end of the matter. my role as the leader of my party, as the prime minister, would be to ensure that decision is carried out whatever it is. but nobody voted to lose theirjob, or to lose trade with europe. people voted for many reasons but i think we have got to come together, and bring this issue to an end. not go down the road of sweetheart deals with the usa. to an end. not go down the road of sweetheart deals with the usai share the frustrat

no confidence in jeremy corbyn in the la st confidence in jeremy corbyn in the last few months, watching the convulsions going on as labour mps attempted to justify the man they clearly don't trust or support yet are still campaigning to get into number10. earlier in are still campaigning to get into number 10. earlier in the week we had a piece in the telegraph about how very small number proportion of labour leaflets actually feature jeremy corbyn in any way, shape or form so it's highly consistent with a wide swathe of opinion. jonathan is one of the few people who survived the shadow cabinet and has done so by being loyal tojeremy corbyn until now. he was advising those who decided to challenge jeremy corbyn that it was the wrong time to do it. what should the moderates in the labour party have done? some are standing as liberal democrats, it will be interesting to see if any of them when. where they write to leave or stay? —— win mag. it is pretty damning stuff. he says jeremy corbyn is seen as a threat to national security. in the event of a jeremy corbyn premiership, they will

corbyn. corbyn recently unveiled an ambitious election manifesto promising to transform britain and resuscitate its public sector. the plan proposed a $100 billion tax increase on the wealthy to fund investment in infrastructure, as well as increased spending on education and health care. this is corbyn speaking in the central english city of birmingham last month. >> the latest manifesto is i manifesto -- is a manifesto for hope. i manifesto that will bring real change. a manifesto that is full of popular policies. that is the political establishment has blocked for generation. but you can't have it. that is with the most powerful people in britain and their supporters want you to believe. amy: last month, labor leader corbyn and prime minister johnson sparred onon brexit durg a lilive television debate. this clip begins with johnson. >> mr. corbyn is trying to concnceal the void at the heaeaf his brexit policy and refusing to answer the question of which side -- which side he would take. co

a seniorjudge attacking jeremy corbyn. this is lord dyson, who was the master of the roles, the second most senior judicial position in england and wales. he has said in a very measured coitiitiei'it wales. he has said in a very measured comment that there is a powerful case that jeremy corbyn could be anti—semitic and he said, lord dyson said, that he was disturbed by elements within the labour party. he says" think all i can see is i don't want to say positively that he, jeremy corbyn, is anti—semitic, but i think there is anti—semitic, but i think there isa is anti—semitic, but i think there is a powerful case that he may well be. the problem forjeremy corbyn, who i'm sure, personally, is not anti—semitic, it is the lack of leadership in dealing with it. i'm m, leadership in dealing with it. i'm in, this story has been running and running and running four month. and it is now, here we are, several days away from the election, and it's the front page on two newspapers, actually three because it is on e—mailas

he gave the ends of the jeremy corbyn gave oi'i the ends of the jeremy corbyn gave on the stage, he could not give the answer that is on prime minister dave because he knows that it was stupid, he knows that it was absolutely inane and he knows that typical of boris johnson, it was simply turning everything into a joke to make people laugh rather than telling them the truth. i think you both very much. will get reaction from the other parties that are not represented on the stage, but before we get that reaction, a quick listen to the two men talking about their respective policies on the nhs. cuts in her nhs, increased waiting times, record number and delays of getting appointments at a social care system that is in crisis. it is time. we have had a strong economy that has enabled us to make investments and we are now going to stop those investments up because we believe passionately that the nhs and the way to take this country forward, the way to get it moving is to get rid of the blockade in parliament, get brexit done and move forward. let me just ask you, 43,000 nurse vacancies. you

analyse the corbyn stance on this. this is for the last couple of days, the labour manifesto and you have to remember page 87, the final say on brexit, is the chapter is titled and as you know, what it says in there in the manifesto so we just heard jeremy corbyn, and what is striking about this is when you head out on the road in the past couple of days with jeremy corbyn, we never got to page 87 because he was talking about other stuff instead and when you speak to activists turning of the events and cheering him when he arrives in all that kind of stuff, two things crop up pretty quickly in private conversations. one is selling the brexit message which is complicated, difficult on the doorstep in the dark of december and the other thought is aboutjeremy corbyn himself and people saying, people sing to me this morning that they try and say look, this is about a team, we are electing a team. polishing over the fact that some people, jeremy corbyn is a bit of a blockage. i have been talking to labour candidates and jer

and he will hearjeremy corbyn saying boris johnson and he will hearjeremy corbyn saying borisjohnson is a liar and you cannot believe what he says and he has misled northern ireland over the implications of this brexit deal and is missed letting all of us with what it means. brexit getting done means a lot more than brexit getting done and it means all sorts of uncertainty in the future. one of the sickly moments from the itv debate which was in this format at the beginning of the campaigns to where is the laughter of the audience, the spontaneous laughter when they were challenged about truthfulness and challenged in jeremy corbyn‘s case about his brexit policy. we have not had that before. it was a bit of a moment. you have to allow for the fact that in an audience you get a certain session who are naturally supportive one of the other of the leaders. and given have a chance, they will laugh at the other man. but it seemed to be more than that. it seems ripple to general mood of deep cynicism to what what they were hearing from the leaders. and it reflects a mood in the country w

they don't want corbyn, they don't want corbynism. and if labour doesn't learn the lesson, labour might as well not exist. what will it take? well, first of all, corbyn needs to go. he ought to have resigned already. it is going to require a leader who understands where people are coming from, understands the issues, and then starts talking to those people, rather than... bassetlaw sums up the arrogance of the corbyn project. they didn't let local candidate they then removed the candidate who was selected. they imposed their own corbynite candidate. he got humiliated. incredibly predictable, but that sums up the arrogance of these people, that they have taken working—class voters in the north of england and the midlands for granted. and that arrogance, if that doesn't go, then labour is finished asa doesn't go, then labour is finished as a political force doesn't go, then labour is finished as a politicalforce in doesn't go, then labour is finished as a political force in this country. and it needs a leader who understands that. gin

get rid ofjeremy corbyn, i guess. wolverhampton south west, where i am right now, it used to be enoch powell, it has flipped between conservative and labour over the yea rs. conservative and labour over the years. wolverhampton north east has a lwa ys years. wolverhampton north east has always been regarded as a safe labour seat. really in wolverhampton, a change, just like other parts of the west and east midlands. this is where boris johnson has won his majority will stop people probably today thinking wolverhampton celebrating their 4—0 win in the europa league last night and wolves will still be playing european football this year, as much as they are thinking about the general election. that puts us all in our place, football dominating the pub talk tonight rather than the politics that we have been speaking about for the last day or two! the shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer has been giving his reaction to labour's poor performance. there is no hiding from the results. they are devastating for our party

there is still this massive battle and jeremy corbyn does not want to say that corbin is failed. —— corbynism. does not want to say that corbin is failed. -- corbynism. just talking about who could probably stand up as the next leader, lisa nandi have spoken as a possible. she said the ma nifesto spoken as a possible. she said the manifesto made little sense. spoken as a possible. she said the manifesto made little senselj spoken as a possible. she said the manifesto made little sense. i think it is really the communication of the manifesto. often, iwas confused by the fact that there would be press releases talking about two different kinds of manifesto, a disability and a work manifesto. how could you have two big stories on the same day. it seemed incredibly flawed, the communication strategy. in terms of candidates, who are you thinking and what other members are saying to you? the membership seems very keen on keir starmer. and obviously he is pro— remain and he is from london and he is a man so that could be a bit of a backlash. angela rayner as another possibility, proper working cla

we have seen jeremy corbyn is finished and corbynism mu5t have seen jeremy corbyn is finished and corbynism must also be finished. it'5 an utter di5a5ter. and corbynism must also be finished. it's an utter disaster. what do you mean by corbynism, a move to the left? ed miliband was left and jeremy corbyn was more left in 2019 than he was in 2017. we need a labour leader who knows who the country's allie5 labour leader who knows who the country's allies are in the world and do not 5ide country's allies are in the world and do not side with the moscow propaganda machine after a chemical attack in our country. we need a labour leader who understands that bizarre conspiracy theories in the ha rd left bizarre conspiracy theories in the hard left about the role jewi5h people play in global capitalism are utterly despicable and di5gu5ting and need to be rooted out of the party. we need a labour leader who understands that good politic5 party. we need a labour leader who understands that good politics are rooted in the communities of sedgefield, wakefield, bolsover, those are the people this party

jeremy corbyn outside manchester. all the parties want to talk up what they see as their key messages. and we will hear from jeremy corbyn in a moment. but first, stuff happens in election. a private chat between a shadow cabinet member and a friend who is a conservative activist is leaked and the labour man is candid about his pa rty‘s the labour man is candid about his party's prospects. i think it is dire for labour. like my of my colleagues, i back the line. it is off for them. it is... it isa line. it is off for them. it is... it is a combination of corbyn and brexit. mr ashworth insists it has been selectively leaked. you said more than once the situation for labour is dire. he is also saying, ohjeremy corbyn is going to win, it isjoshing ohjeremy corbyn is going to win, it is joshing around and ohjeremy corbyn is going to win, it isjoshing around and he has leaked it. i can't believe it. jeremy corbyn‘s not dwelling on that, but instead saying this. we have now got until thursday night to win this election.

germany corbyn will standdown -- jeremy corbyn will stand down. he says he will not go into the next election as labour leader. the leader of the liberal democrats losing her seat. it has not been a good night for the liberal democrats who stood on that stop brexit message which does not seem to have cut through with the voting public. rishaad: thank you very much. these are the scenes at the moment. we have boris johnson on his way from west london into central london. going back to number 10 downing street. he looks to have a thumping majority. it is a very bad night for the labour party. anna: very bad night for the labour party. jeremy corbyn stepping down as labour leader. the pound jumping. this is bloomberg. ♪ [ electrical buzzing ] [ dramatic music ] ahhhh! -ahhhh! elliott. you came back! beyond the routine checkups. beyond the not-so-routine cases. comcast business is helping doctors provide care in whole new ways. all working with a new generation of technologies powered by our gig-speed network. because beyond technology... there is h

that may be part of it. ..which was a big thing forjeremy corbyn. you are saying, focus on al, technology, climate change, a whole raft of issues... definitely climate change. when you look to the plans that were discussed by either side on climate change, i don't think you had any sense of the urgency or the challenge or any real kind of intellectual depth in what was being said. it was a "green jobs revolution", it was a "green new deal". there was no sense — and that sort of thing, you can't just sort of suddenly spring that in an election campaign. you have to build it over time, otherwise you will fall victim to, my view, a chancer likejohnson coming along with a very, very smart slogan. do you see any sign anywhere in the world of this sort of politics actually winning elections right now? that's the question. i remember bill clinton always used to say, it is always harder for the left because the right have the best tunes. if they are kind of waving flags and they can do the military side of stuff, and they can do the patriotism and all tha

i was a lwa ys first base. —— jeremy corbyn. i was always conscious of the fact that if you have a referendum and don't immediate implement that you will have that democratic problem. we never found a way to address that and the reason for that is, i was pa rt and the reason for that is, i was part of people's boat campaign, i was trying to get a second referendum. i think that is a perfectly legitimate thing to do. the parties, they are in a very different position and i think the labour party's different position and i think the labour pa rty‘s decision different position and i think the labour party's decision from day one, instead of being swot along with the will of the people, will of the people, will of the people, no criticism can be raised against bragg had said, ok, this is happened, we have to respect the result, the government has to go on negotiate the best terms of agreement and we are entitled to judge that on its merits when they bring it back instead of which, leg got dragged... you're wanting to say in the en

corbyn and the policies. and it was notjust brexit. if you look corbyn and the policies. and it was not just brexit. if you look at the polling done since then it's amongst people who switched from labour to the conservatives between 2017 and 2019, only 6% said it was that policies and the vast majority sided corbyn and brexit, deftly in absence of the kind of leadership that johnson presented which was a very strong, put your faith in me, i will do x, y, and z strong, put your faith in me, i will do x, y, and 2 which is never been jeremy corbyn's style. it's also interesting to see the parallel with what happened to theresa may, and it was her aides nick timothy and a few of the hill that carried the can, and whether others will carry the cani and whether others will carry the can i don't know, but corbyn is that is going and mcdonald has said is going to lose an opportunity for labour to rebuild and renew the party, and maybe try and pick up on some of the elements. i think there was a lot of security concerns among traditional labour voters. you know, the friends that

i think dividing ourself into corbyn and non—corbyn, that kind of thing, i think that is divisive, and what we need is someone who can bring us together. so i don't vote along sectional lines, and i never have, and i won't be doing that. i will be looking at the different people and what they have to bring to our party, and i won't be ruling anyone out at all. but isn't that denying the obvious fact that this corbyn style of leadership has been a disaster electorally? no, it's not. lots of people voted for lots of different reasons, and every individual mp and potential leader brings a different amount of qualities to how they will lead the party. really, in putney, we have said that we want a labour mp and a labour government, and i will be listening to all the reasons why people said that, and they are many different reasons, but it was a massively positive and optimistic campaign that we ran here. what we are saying to each other now in this campaign is, let's keep that going, let's keep that spirit of coming out on the streets. it's been an old—fashioned, on the stump conversatio

the party is now looking for a new leader and a new deputy leader, and whilejeremy corbyn has called for a period of reflection, in truth, battles are likely to rage over the reasons for labour's defeat. and today, one of the leading figures in the leadership has announced that he is withdrawing from the frontline. the new leader will come in place, appoint the shadow cabinet — i won't be part of the shadow cabinet, i've done my bit — we need to move on at that stage with that new leader and i think we'll be in a position where we are learning lessons and listening to people. what was it? it was notjust brexit, there was a long history of maybe a0 years of neglect. chanting next week he will bring his brexit bill back to parliament, but for now, boris johnson is familiarising himself with territory that many thought would never go tory. iain watson, bbc news. well, the uk election result is being analysed closely notjust here but abroad as well. the us democratic presidential candidatejoe biden has seized on labour's crushing defeat as proof that only a centrist can beat presiden

i am not a huge fan ofjeremy corbyn. and there will be no avoiding any of that pressure for the pair as they arrived for a debate tonight. the final head—to—head clash, but not yet your final choice. who chooses the audience? it is the pollsters. what you will get is representatives from both parties plus some undecided voters in the middle as well. they will get some questions and nick will be the referee, the adjudicator if you will, to make sure those questions are answered and at the start of the debate, they will each get a minute to set out their case. that will be on the autocue reader for them. those are the only rules of the evening. let's take a little look outside because we have a jeremy corbyn just arriving with his team. there you go. this is not live actually, this is just there you go. this is not live actually, this isjust a there you go. this is not live actually, this is just a few minutes ago. you can see him on his way in. we have not seen any sign of boris johnson yet although we have seen boris

not a word from the corbyn camp. you can imagine why, because they now have to think what do they do. how quickly does mr. corbyn qu it/ it he will have to do no one battle has been won. the one boris johnson will be able to take whether you like or loathe the idea, take britain out of the eu. who controls british politics? he will and the tories will. there is a newate beginning already, a battle over the future of the left battle over the future leadership of the labour party. it began on the program hn mcdonnell claiming that this was nothing to do with the sort of policies they had, perishhthe tho or the leadership of the labour party. it is because people were weary of brexit and he wanted to get it done. anthat is not whatpeople in the labour party tell me. they sayha day in, day out, jeremy cbyn was the problem. yes, the best the confusion was the problem. mr. corbyn, what easter for and what he believed in, his track history were th problem. was it brexit, was it corbyn, was it policies on the left? that will

a seniorjudge attacksjeremy corbyn on anti—semitism. seniorjudge attacksjeremy corbyn on anti-semitism. this in a sense is far less hysterical. it is master of the rolls, and he is saying that he will not say positively that jeremy corbyn is anti—semitic, what he says is there is a powerful case he may well be. at least that is more considered. he is a leading chew himself but at least he is coming up with what you would call a more reasonable form of words. he has apologised for what has taken place but many pa pal satyrs apologised for what has taken place but many papal satyrs taken so long. and he was asked outright by andrew neil whether he would like to apologise and he didn't, he then apologised three or four days later, why did he not get the apology out of the way when asked upfront? it is about the handling of it. but the sunday telegraph is very clear in its views. they are urging readers to vote conservative, the observers saying use your vote tactically. we will stay with the sunday telegraph. the tories unveil strict limits on unskilled migrants, this is an australian s

mr corbyn. .. when emotions are less raw, labour will have to decide if it simply wants a new leader, or if what it really needsis new leader, or if what it really needs is a new direction. iain watson, bbc news. the inquest begins for labour. so let's take a look at the picture across the uk. here's sophie raworth. so, on this map, each constituency has been shrunk to exactly the same size. 0ne hexagon is one mp and it gives you a much better idea of where the balance of power now lies. walk around here, this is the outskirts of london with its 73 mp5, still dominated by labour. that is not the picture across much of the rest of the united kingdom. that is where the dramatic changes have taken place overnight. look at what was labour's red wall. it has been massively shrunk, cracked by these blue seats, the seat that the conservatives have taken from labour, like leigh in greater manchester. it had a huge labour majority of around 9500 but it has gone conservative for the first time. something i c

are you going to resign, mr corbyn? fourjeremy corbyn, the end of his ambition to move a few short mile5 end of his ambition to move a few short miles to westminster. he is off by the spring if not before. short miles to westminster. he is off by the spring if not beforelj off by the spring if not before.|j did off by the spring if not before.” did everything i could. of course, i put elite might take responsibility for putting the manifesto forward. the manifesto was universally supported throughout our party and movement. as i said in my own result la st movement. as i said in my own result last night, we don't give up on the eternal hopes of a more decent society. our exit poll is suggesting that there will be a conservative majority. from the start, it was obvious what might be coming. 0ne majority. from the start, it was obvious what might be coming. one of the very first results of blyth valley in northumberland, labour since 1950, turned tory. the new mp almost overwhelmed by the scale of that change. and i wou

i have heard tony blair deliver numerous speeches criticising jeremy corbyn, criticising jeremy corbyn, criticising his brexit policy. i have never heard him doing such a demolitionjob on the have never heard him doing such a demolition job on the labour party. blu ntly, demolition job on the labour party. bluntly, the demolition job on the labour party. blu ntly, the gloves demolition job on the labour party. bluntly, the gloves are off. he warns quite simply that in his words, if labour carries on with the corbyn programme it is finished. his belief is the electorate will never support this and the far left policies he espouses and it is now a battle for the very survival of the labour party and unless it discards what he calls a sectarian ultraleft policies it will be replaced by another party. he doesn't identify who but he suggests if labour is not seen as who but he suggests if labour is not seen as a who but he suggests if labour is not seen as a credible progressive alternative, some other political force will emerge. i'm sure many of mr corbyn's supporters and many in the labo

get rid ofjeremy corbyn i guess. so wolverhampton southwest, where i am now, this used to be enoch powell's seats, nick after that, it has flipped between conservative and labour over the years. wolverhampton northeast, well, that's really one of those seats that's always been regarded as a safe labour seat. so, really, in wolverhampton, a change, just like other parts of the west in the east midlands, this is where borisjohnson has won his majority. but people today probably thinking of wolverhampton just as much about their little win in the europa league last night, and the fact that the wolves will still be playing european football next year, as much as they are about the results of the election. different priorities. that was fill reporting from wolverhampton in the west midlands. so, the uk political map, matthew, looking very different from how it did just 2a hours ago. it really does come thank you very much, we will have more from downing street a little while later. let's ta ke street a little while later.

but the fact is, jeremy corbyn does not even do that. boris johnson did less of that than he might have as well. absolutely, he could get into trouble for using colourful language. sometimes his language has got him into trouble in the past. let's end, this is an awful story for the man concerned, peter teach, he has lost a lot of moneyjust because his sort code was wrong, the bank sort code. it's astonishing. he made a single digit error when he was transferring an enormous sum, his inheritance from his father, £193,000. but the story says that he had the account number correct. so somebody had the same account as him but with one different sort code. it is very prising to me. barclays bank have offered him £25 in response for losing £193,000! unsurprisingly, he was not happy. it went to court but he had to find out the identity of the person who the money had gone to. that account would have been under a different name, too. and the mackie spent £46,000 going to court. and barclays mackie spent £46,000 going to court. and ba rclay

was jeremy corbyn establishment and covering miles. wasjeremy corbyn glasgow establishment and covering miles. was jeremy corbyn glasgow this morning and then he was in houston was back how far apart is that? and borisjohnson was on a milk run, how excessive is that. it is so exhausting and weary, and this is obviously for the guardian. the remainder establishment and this is for the metropolitan labour party, not so much the labour party of sentiment but the labour party of the metropolitan establishment and i think that is wherejeremy corbyn is not picking his votes up from the lib dems and he said that this election is a fork in the road and that really goes back to what i said we're talking about the metro. that this is a very critical general election in deed and we have these two lea d e rs election in deed and we have these two leaders that have very different visions of the country and i do not think i've ever encountered anything quite like this before. not even in 1979. we are not actually necessarily going to elect leaders,

jeremy corbyn and from boris johnson, then different from jeremy corbyn and from borisjohnson, then they can perhaps get people into the party to dilate the left—wing membership. so do what they left it exactly to them. whether they can be successful, who knows? it is perhaps less exciting for the saudis to bring it back to the centre. the other point is in terms of the message itself, how they calibrated, i feel assault on message itself, how they calibrated, ifeel assault onjeremy message itself, how they calibrated, i feel assault onjeremy corbyn's policies, perhaps having too many policies, perhaps having too many policies all at once, sounding like the conveyor belt of the generation game, so the conveyor belt of the generation game, so many the conveyor belt of the generation game, so many gifts at once the can even remember them. passengers are being advised to check train times before travelling from tomorrow, as major timetable changes are introduced. rail companies say journey times will be cut, services made more frequent, and new routes added — following investment i

reporter: are you going to resign, mr corbyn? woman: we love you, jeremy corbyn! forjeremy corbyn, it's the end of his ambition to move the few short miles to westminster from his north london home. do you think you misread the mood, mr corbyn? labour were swamped in this election. he is off by the spring, if not before. i did everything i could. of course, i take responsibility for putting the manifesto forward. but i have to say, the manifesto was universally supported throughout our party and throughout our movement. so as i said in my own count result last night, we don't give up on the eternal hopes of a more decent society. reporter: have you lost your seat, ms swinson? the lib dems had a crushing night too. just a few weeks ago, jo swinson claimed she could be prime minister. in the middle of the night, though, she even lost her own place in parliament and closed the day neither an mp nor a party leader. all of us who share an alternative vision for society have a responsibility to learn from this result and find new answers. they lost at the hands of the t

she is awaiting jeremy corbyn. what final message will we hear from corbyn. what final message will we hearfrom jeremy corbyn. what final message will we hear from jeremy corbyn as he tries to rally voters ahead of tomorrow?” think we will hear much of the same sort of themes we've been hearing over the last few weeks, but i think those parties are starting to concentrate particularly on their core messages and the closing days of the campaign. not only that, they are trying to crisscross the country visiting as many constituencies as possible as well and that is what jeremy corbyn has been doing. he started off this week frantic campaigning with a big rally in bristol, he then went up the west coast of the country and they got up glasgow come overnighting there and has crossed down the east side of the country and today. he will end up the country and today. he will end up here very shortly, travelling 400 miles ina up here very shortly, travelling 400 miles in a day, visiting constituencies in doing some speeches and of course this rally here later as wel

and then another person saying please do not vote jeremy corbyn into power. alliances have come and gone. a great talk at the beginning of the campaign about the beginning of the campaign about the strength and influence of the brexit party and the lib dems respectively. both appear to have been seen off by these relative juggernauts of tories and labour party so when it comes at the day, i have friends who with heavy hearts are going to vote not necessarily for the party they would have voted for the party they would have voted for this time a year ago but they are talking about things like i cannot are talking about things like i ca n not vote are talking about things like i cannot vote forjeremy corbyn, i cannot vote forjeremy corbyn, i cannot see a country where boris johnson is in power. it is equal and opposite and i think it willjust come down to which of those two hearts ways a little bit less. it is unusual to have two such unappealing candidates to put before the people of potential prime ministers but and all of the polling shows this was not you a

jeremy corbyn. he's probably good on bins. could you ever date a corbyn supporter? never. never! basically, i'm going to be stuck in, effectively an anxiety dream. hello. hey! how are you? how's it going? good to see you. how are you doing? crackers — lovely and festive. so this is weird. it is quite weird, isn't it? yeah. we're basically having a date like two people who once probably might have had a fumble. and then what happens is that you meet you each other again. cos it's not like we're not familiar to each other. no. but we haven't had a fumble, just to clarify. yeah, we haven't had a fumble. he's not tall enough for me. anybody tall and tory is a good start. what are your first dates normally like? well, they're not with women anyway. not for a whlie. i did take the scenic route to being gay. i had a jacket potato in eastbourne, which was incredible. on the political trail. what do you have in yourjacket potato? beans and cheese. high five. yeah. anyone that believes that the uk will be better outside of the eu, or believes in the united kingdom, wants to put their fla

jeremy corbyn has been invited to attend andi corbyn has been invited to attend and i assume if he does so it will bea and i assume if he does so it will be a bruising encounter because there are very different interpretations of what went wrong, different factions vying for control of the party. parliament will feel like a different place when we all start tuning in again on wednesday, thursday, and potentially friday as well. the queen's speech will be the big political event of the week and we noted borisjohnson now has a lot more power to do the things he wants to do. we do not know exactly what they are because the manifesto he set out was far from being a programme for government for the next few years. in some places it was quite thin, but i would expect thursday to be along similar lines that we have heard mrjohnson talking about since he became prime minister. brexit will be the priority, as will be the multi—billion annual settlement for the nhs, things like crime and education, too. joining me now from wimbledon, is iain anderson, executive chairman of the public relations

the membership are incredibly supportive ofjeremy corbyn. hundreds of thousands of them joined the party to support him. at the same time, a lot of these people were out on the doorstep and being told, no, not jeremy corbyn. they do think if you have got a good... i think it is ha rd have got a good... i think it is hard for someone coming from the centre of the party... who is there from the centre that could? justin phillips, for example. i think she is an outstanding mp ——jess phillips. it is hard to see how she gets elected in a very corbyn centric membership. you could see a good —— good candidates coming through, wowing members at hustings and all ofa through, wowing members at hustings and all of a sudden they may not come through. there will be a big debate about where in the party this leader comes from and who do they represent? the labour party now is very london focused and other big metropolitan areas, the temptation may be to pick somebody represents a sort of new labour comfort zone .it was your tip? if labour had any

are you going to resign, mr corbyn? we love you, jeremy corbyn! forjeremy corbyn, the end of his ambition to move the few short miles to westminster from his north london home. do you think you misread the mood? labour were swamped in this election. he is off by the spring, if not before. i did everything i could. of course, i take responsibility for putting the manifesto forward. the manifesto was universally supported throughout our party and movement. as i said in my own result last night, we don't give up on the eternal hopes of a more decent society. our exit poll is suggesting that there will be a conservative majority... from the start, it was obvious what might be coming. one of the very first results, blyth valley in northumberland, labour since 1950, turned tory. the new mp almost overwhelmed by the scale of that change. and i would like to thank boris. and through the night, labour's roots appeared to shrivel, whether in yorkshire, the midlands... i'm just sorry we have let people down. or the north—east — seat after seat flipped re

willjeremy corbyn beat him to it? or will the outcome be less than clear when it comes tojeremy vine‘s winning line? well, here we are again. two years ago in our virtual downing street, i showed you the conservatives falling short, and labour improving but not by nearly enough. and the result was two years of chaos in parliament. the question tonight is whether any party can get 326 seats or more and send their leader through that door with a majority. the party leaders voted earlier today, wrapped up against the elements in the first december election since 1923, less than a fortnight before christmas. they know that these ballot boxes hold the key to their futures and my colleague naga munchetty is watching the hard—fought race to declare the night's first result. well, all eyes are on the north—east today to see who will declare first. last time it was newcastle but we have found out that their neighbours in blyth valley have been practising in secret. are you ready? yes! they think they can get the counting

mr corbyn said he was sorry they "came up short". speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr, mr mcdonnell said it was unfortunate the party hadn't been able to articulate its message more effectively. he also blamed the media's portrayal ofjeremy corbyn, insisting that he'd been demonised "for four years solid". our political correspondent nick eardley reports. thejeremy corbyn era is coming to an end. but what will that mean for labour? how much does the party need to change after its disastrous election? this morning, mr corbyn said he took his share of responsibility. his right—hand man went further. it's on me, it's on me, let's take it on the chin. i own this disaster, so i apologise. i apologise to all those wonderful labour mps who have lost their seats who worked so hard. i apologise to all our campaigners. but that apology only goes so far. the outgoing leadership say they made mistakes but they blame brexit, believe they were demonised by the media, and insist their radical policy agenda was popular. if there was one criticism,

jeremy corbyn was first to arrive here tonight.

if pretty darn pronto —— corbyn sce ptic. if he pretty darn pronto —— corbyn sceptic. if he stays on for the next few months, they will fear he and his allies will try to make it even easier for someone like rebecca long—bailey, john mcdonnell, a true believer like that, to take the reins. whereas, last—gasp for people like keirstarmerat reins. whereas, last—gasp for people like keir starmer atjess phillips, if they want to stop that left shift even further —— and jess phillips. extra questions will have to tackle that makes a chewy contest while the tories are steaming ahead with brexit. namely, that by the time they have a new leader, brexit will have happened, the uk will be out of the european lutein. to put it bromley, they can argue remain and we will be on the ballot paper, it is irrelevant, it would be would they like to rejoin and that is different? if you want to rejoin the eu, they will expect you to sign up belts and braces for the whole package, euro and everything else. let's talk specifically about runners and riders because the race is under w

mr corbyn, can i ask you aboutjon ashworth‘s comments? do you agree withjon ashworth‘s comments that you can't win, mr corbyn? one of his allies, jon ashworth, the shadow health secretary, was recorded by a tory friend suggesting labour can't win, and that mr corbyn could be a security risk in government. the conversation was leaked to a tory—supporting website. i was having a bit of banter... later, awkwardly, he tried to laugh it off. you said more than once to him, the situation for labour is dire. i know, because he's also saying, "0h, jeremy corbyn‘s going to win." so it's a bit ofjoshing around. and he's leaked it. i can't believe it. did his boss really think it was just a bit of fun? i've had a chat with jon ashworth. he called me straight away. he's out there campaigning for a labour government. he's out there defending our national health service, and jon has my full support, and i'm cool with jon. we get along great. after all this, labour seems right now only likely to square the circle if they had the snp‘s support to

jeremy corbyn? when people paint slogans on the side of a bus that are totally unsustainable, perhaps it is time that we do have an independent monitoring of what goes on. actually, if you look at the numbers we put on the side of the bus, look at the gross figure we pay to the eu, the number is going up. with polls suggesting the tories are ahead, that may suit mrjohnson more than mr corbyn. but, with just a few days left in the campaign, nothing is certain. nick eardley, bbc news, maidstone. ben wright is in greater manchester, where the prime minister is campaigning today. what is your sense there, of the reaction this morning from the conservatives? they know this debate was a significant hurdle in the election diary they needed to clear without incident, without fluffing it, without making a mistake, because they have got a pretty consistent lead in the polls which i think they are inclined to believe. they did not want to make a mistake, a blunder, and they will be satisfied i think that did n

the two candidates, jeremy corbyn on the left and boris johnson candidates, jeremy corbyn on the left and borisjohnson on the right, may be no surprises there, they could almost touch one another here, not just face—to—face but almost total toe in the studio and it will be intense and you will see every flicker of emotion and a syllable of policy they will come out with tonight. this is the final confrontation between the two men who want to be our prime minister and the man with the job of moderating it is nick robinson, former bbc political editor. am i looking stressed? are you stressed? how do you feel? i never wake up overnight over thisjob how do you feel? i never wake up overnight over this job but i how do you feel? i never wake up overnight over thisjob but i have overnight over thisjob but i have over this because it is different from anything i've ever done before because i'm not interviewing these guys, i'm a bit more than a referee but a referee is part of what i've got to do. i've got to make sure it isa got to do. i've got to make sure it is a clean, fairfight betwe

the guardian says both borisjohnson and jeremy corbyn are set to embark you give says the company has cut the number of mps... but highlight that the predicted range of seats means that a hung parliament is a possibility. the guardian says both borisjohnson and jeremy corbyn are set to embark on a frantic final 2a hours of campaigning — as the fight to sway undecided voters in what they call the "most important election in a generation". the telegraph leads with the news that borisjohnson is set pledge there will be heavier sentences for terrorists, sex offenders, and violent criminals if he's reelected. the paper says mrjohnson believes that the criminal the daily mirror has an interview the father of jack merritt who died in the london bridge terror attack. his father dave says that he feels that borisjohnson saw his son's death as "an opportunity to score some points in this election". note prizes for guessing what the independent is leading with, the pictures speak for themselves. the metro has some less—than—pleasa nt words forjohn ashworth. it comes after a recording was l

we need to kick corbyn out, and then we'll be all right. but make no mistake, labour is farfrom dead here. how are you feeling about what's ahead, sofina? sofina moved to leigh three years ago from dudley, where she was a labour councillor. but she agrees with boris johnson in two regards. many labour votes here have simply been gifted to him on loan. and now is the time for healing. we can all live together regardless of our political aspirations. i really pray and hope that borisjohnson does live up to his promises because i know jeremy corbyn definitely would. police have officially named the first victim of the white island volcano eruption in new zealand, as recovery efforts continue. krystal eve browitt was a 21—year—old australian, who was visiting the island with her family. her father and sister are both in hospital with serious injuries. 15 deaths have been now been confirmed from monday's eruption, while about 20 people are in intensive care with severe burns. phil mercer has more. police divers and their colleagues from the

if you are an outand supportive of mr corbyn. if you are an out and out corbyn critic you ain't got much chance. thank you. a website for hotpoint and indesit customers to register washing machines that could be a fire risk has suffered "technical problems". around half a million appliances are being recalled because their door locking system can overheat. our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz, is here. continuing bad news, explain what is going on here. the website still isn't working and it's frustrating for customers of whirlpool who own hotpoint and indesit washing machines and were told yesterday lunchtime that there was a recall and they needed to check on the website whether they were affected and book a pick—up to have it replaced or to have them repaired. that was their choice. they haven't been able to find out and that's particularly difficult for them because they've also been told that because they've also been told that because of the risk of a fire from these faulty electronic door locks, they should

chanting 0h, jeremy corbyn. chanting oh, jeremy corbyn. both rivals for another ten can't police their own crowds will stop tomorrow we will be out knocking on doors like our lives depend on it, as the lives of many do. the labour leader on the platform in east london tonight. borisjohnson bringing platform in east london tonight. boris johnson bringing a platform in east london tonight. borisjohnson bringing a huge audience to a massive stage. both famously flawed can inspire as well as repel. are you ready for the contest ahead? are you pumped up? and not in their audiences this evening, those voices around the country who have expressed frustration and may be fear that the politicians before us may not live up politicians before us may not live up to the challenge of what is ahead. studio: laura, the campaign last time around in 2017 altered the dynamic of the whole election. has that happened this time around, do you think? in a way not. it's an enormous juncture you think? in a way not. it's an enormousjuncture for you think? in a way

corbyn announces pressure. they both like the picture of president and mrs trump on the steps of downing street, with a lovely wreath behind them. but it is interesting, because i suppose the impression i get from talkative voters is twofold, really. on the one hand, they don't understand why it has come up, because we don't have a commercial health service. why would he come up anyway? on the other hand, the more there were denials from donald trump and boris johnson, both people who perhaps haveissues johnson, both people who perhaps have issues about trust in terms of the credibility of what they say, the credibility of what they say, the more suspicious people become. and that again plays into the stuff that later mac would hope... —— labour would help. i think that's right. the question of trust is going to come up, particularly the fa ct going to come up, particularly the fact that it is the president talking about it and having certain issues about things the president has set in the past. it isn't g
