the labor party have lost i think about the party standing in labor health it's has helped them in a few cases how it will be won and bonbon the central bit being another but particular take on the central example done jarvis is held on 5 so narrowly and he has very large majority so you know he needs to be very great and be very grateful in a sense to break the party of actually you know how do you have a slim majority it could have all gone horribly wrong for even him tonight or john the turn. an electoral landscape very clearly as chris describes realigned all tribal loyalties undone in the labor case some would say a failure of strategy a failure of leadership will the party now do you think turn on jeremy called minutes later if the party has any sense it will do if jeremy has any sense he'll resign immediately and take it on the chin say with his leadership his policies as positions and the labor needs a new leader and some rethinking your ideas. i think that will there will be a vicious battle in the labor party over the next 48 hours to define was this a bracks election in wh

of a political party like people join a political party because they have strong views now who lost the leadership election is actually the 3rd most popular politician in germany but a political party does not reflect the people at logs they reflect the membership and a lot of people in the social democratic party feel that they went way too far when . it was chancellor they have embraced many their right wing policies especially in social affairs issues and therefore i think they want to go back to basics they want to go you know solidify the base as it's called they want they want to win votes back from the left party possibly even from the green party and they are looking towards a period in opposition where they can sort of cleanse themselves of of the being tainted by the by the but by association with the. cd u.s.c.'s you do you agree with that because the s.t.p. find itself in embroiled in some kind of internal turmoil could could division over the direction of the policy be destabilising for it could end up tearing it apart. this is already happening i mean the this election

soledad: what are your predictions for the parties, the two parties that we have in the two party system that we have as the left seems to be pushing all the candidates more to the left and the right seems to be pushing a lot of the candidates more to the right. does that just continue? lee: i think it does continue. you know, it's almost not even left and right, but it's more in terms of policy, but it's just more aggressive political hardball. you know, republicans have pushed really hard on gerrymandering. there's huge fights on on who gets to vote in this country. basic rule of democracy questions. we are we are having these very contested issues over the rules of the game, which and if we can't agree on the rules of the game, we don't have a democracy. soledad: the book is called breaking the two party doom loop. it comes out on january 2nd. lee, nice to see you. thanks for talking with us. lee: great to be with you. >> when we come back, meet the woman changing the face of farming. class, you probably hear it every day. yet millions of people still don't know what it means. you kno

party. it is less metropolitan. it is less southern. it is less bourgeois. it is now more working class, more northern, more provincial, more small towns and cities. so, that is a new establishment coming in and you'll hear all sorts of different accents, and labour might have lost mr corbyn albert corbyn is still thinks it has a grip on that party. that is a different establishment as well so we move into a new power structure in this country and as i look at elections, until tonight, there have been to make transformative elections in modern times. one was 19a5, the attlee government. the other was 1979, the arrival of margaret thatcher. we can now add a third to it which is the election of 2019. great having you with us, andrew, and we will see you later on. andrew neil has been with us throughout the night. the other andrew, on the scottish theme, we've been discussing that, what did that say to you? it is interesting and i agree with kezia dugdale, the demand for a second independence r

in spain the socialists in the people's party the people's party government they're the right wing they're more unionist their foreign minister clarified that they would not veto an independent scotland membership in the current socialist government. said the same thing neither party that can write a prime minister be there or tell you why because we could spin off into a conversation about independence for catalonia which automatically want to do but when you talk about independence you're talking about an independent scotland going back into the e.u. you can't do that because your deficit has got to come below 3 percent at the moment the scottish deficit is running at 7.17.2 percent so that's a nonstarter anyway. it's a nonstarter the your opposition process is a process that you go for now for a start i think discussion on me needs to change radically and of course i want to to cause that deficit but i want to green you do for scotland there same piece version of independence is all about extracting more oil and gas in the north sea that's a dead end it's an economic dead end and so dea

pressured by her party the c.d.u. leader decided to tackle the consequences head on of the meeting when it's pointed out the next cd you pass the convention in hamburg this december i will not run for the position as head of germany's see the year. also this 4th term of office would be my last as chancellor of the federal republic of germany. it was the end of an era but who would take her place remained unclear. decision laid bare the deep crisis the popular parties found themselves in. citizens were losing patience with her cautious leadership style and all its compromises. the keys are there folks but the crisis the popular parties are experiencing is dramatic but i don't think it will be easy to reverse anytime soon because people are yearning for a new leadership style and a more and not zenon. the c.d.u. did what it could to stem the tide and hold its nose dive and hamburg the party celebrated its convention with all the usual part of the regal imagery was a facade behind the scenes even a split in the party was

the brexit party leader nigel farage has been in doncaster and the green party says it is raising the alarm on the climate emergency. in just a few hours, the deafening clamour of campaigning will be over. the serenity and solitude of the polling booth will beckon. the country will decide who lives here for up to the next five years in an election that will bring about a change, whoever wins. so, let's remind ourselves of where the parties stand on the key issues, and how their policies compare. christian fraser has been taking a look. so, it's almost decision time. i can't go through the manifestos of every party but what i am going to give you is a fast and furious guide to the top policies from each party. so we'll start with the conservatives. if borisjohnson is returned with a majority, his withdrawal agreement bill would be back before parliament before year end, with the aim of leaving the european union byjanuary. labour is promising record spending. an unprecedented spend of £400 billion — a national transformation fund, they call it, including 250 billion for their nation

and the labour party? well, after one of the most crushing defeats in its history, it faces an existential crisis. my guest is alastair campbell, close adviser to tony blair in the new labour years, passionate opponent of brexit. where does the left go now if it's ever win again? alastair campbell, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. i want to begin with that election result itself. when you saw it, as a tribally labour man, labour all your life but who has run into a series of problems withjeremy corbyn and his leadership, how did you respond to that result? i wasn't wholly surprised. i had privately predicted about 50, 60. majority for the tories. yes, and the reason for that is, i think, the country decided some time ago that it's not electing jeremy corbyn as prime minister. you can argue if that's fair or unfair but i think that was something i sensed just going around the country. ifelt really sad, to be honest. i felt sad for lots of reasons. i felt very sad that borisjohnson, who i've known for a very

is a bigoted party racist party an anti semitic party and i think jeremy would have been far better to at the very outset to defend his own reputation there's nobody in the house of commons got a better record on standing up to bigotry and racism the journey because when he should have defended his own reputation the labor party's reputation is as an anti racist party and i feel that we should have defended as i did numerous people but with one of those people like ken livingstone and many jewish members of the labor party have been specifically targeted left wing jews have been targeted for suspension and expulsion from the labor party it's only salute as a developer that's about it itself was a failure in leadership not able to establish the labor party's reputation beyond pella venture as an anti racist party but i'm interested what you say but but i accept is that in your analysis the difference between 2070 good jeremy called. as labor leader on a fairly ambitious manifesto made up vast grown during the election campaign and 2090 who have jokingly called banana and the bestest

this party must listen, and this party must respond. or this party will die. the entire city of glasgow is now represented by the snp. and ready for another referendum. i definitely think we should be allowed to have an independence referendum, and i think that steps should be taken if possible to force them to make this happen, to let this happen. ijust think that... england's going one way, scotland's going another, so we should be able to decide for ourselves. if they are there, obviously, we get the go—ahead from westminster, it will happen again, obviously, we have to make our choice again. i'll be voting no again. a whole new crop of mp5 is a victory for the snp. but it may not be enough to seize the price they desire, the chance to vote again on independence. nicola sturgeon insists she did not wa nt to nicola sturgeon insists she did not want to see borisjohnson returned as prime minister. but she knows that a tory government in westminster, while scotland voted the opposite way, is the result that is most likely to advance her greatest ambition. nam

all parts of the party. local party meetings, party conferences, online forums, the disciplinary processes, its officials. the scale of anti—semitism as reported by labour is inaccurate. lasting changes need to be made. the evidence laid out in the submission shows the labour party is unable and unwilling to do so. until lastjuly, i so. until last july, i was so. until lastjuly, i was employed by the labour party as its acting director of governance and legal. in my time there, i witnessed first—hand the my time there, i witnessed first— hand the complete my time there, i witnessed first—hand the complete failure of the party processes adequately deal with anti—semitism. i witnessed daily interference in the process milling my team and i who are responsible for discipline in the party were simply unable to do our jobs. in a prolonged period my team andl jobs. in a prolonged period my team and i were put in the intolerable position of witnessing widespread racism in the party and not having the supp

even to the left of the party, there are even to the left of the party, there a re lots of even to the left of the party, there are lots of arguments as to what should happen next. whether a more charismatically leader is needed. whether it should be a women, somebody like rebecca long bailey. also, how they present their policies. some agree with these radical policies on nationalisation, for example, but disagree during the election, thick and fast, so rapid that people couldn't take in what they were talking about. people on they were talking about. people on the left at least recognise there has to be a different presentation of the policies. is there a possibility that we could see quite a widespread change in terms of what labour looks like? john mcdonnell has said that he will not be part of the cabinet, do you think that this is what the party does need — all change? from john mcdonnell, point of view, there were some talk on the left of people wanting him to stand as party leader, some people think that he could be interim leader if jeremy corbyn went. but he seems to have m

the party will take going forward and i will lead the party during that period to ensure that discussion takes place and we move on into the future. well the exit polls conducted by u.k. broadcasters suggest that the conservatives will get around an $86.00 seat majority with a total of $368.00 seats labor's expected to get $191.00 which would be their worst result since the $930.00 s. and in scotland the scottish nationalists there predicted to win $55.00 seats out of $59.00 that's nearly the entire. lot of discussions things available now the liberal democrats are traditionally the 3rd largest party they're expected to win maybe 13 seats and its leader gerry swinson has lost her own sea for millions of people in our country. these results will bring dread and dismay and people are looking for hope i still believe that we as a country can be warm and generous inclusive and open and that by working together with our nearest neighbors we can achieve so much more. liberal democrats will continue to stand up for these values that are liberal movement openness fairness inclusive and see we wi

from the party injected himself and has turned the tory party into the bracks it party light maybe was and he's got a strong mandate now i think in terms of negotiating with europe as kevin said what was coming up and also people just get this done we want our vote to be respected for boris now they're really hard work begins to just talked about there about a trade deal i mean trying to get a trade deal in a year would be unprecedented the e.u. canada deal took 7 years so you could have to really blow it up with the e.u. but this does strengthen his negotiating how we need to go in arnie's going fast and crucially now is they need to get the right people on board for this trade deal that someone like stephen harper the former canadian prime minister has been talking to him about getting him on board he's got the expertise that down with the knowledge doesn't exist in whitehall and so you know it's how do you deal with the e.u. what you've seen so far is negotiations is when it it's very protracted they way down he's going to have to go in with a shock and awe strategy try and get this

political party... in terms of members. yes, and this was a very popular manifesto. so a huge party that people chose not to vote for. it was a popular manifesto in 2017. but you lost in 2017. with a massive increase in the vote, as you know. it had a massive increase in the vote is what i am saying it was not unpopular. tell me which of the social programme would be unpopular, restoring the nhs, building houses for the homeless? why didn't people vote for it? you are the pundits. if you break it down point by point, i think the policy was not unpopular. the point alan johnson think the policy was not unpopular. the point alanjohnson made overnight was that labour couldn't. .. labour couldn't come along and just offer free things. it was a patronising offerjust to say, here is broad mind, here is nationalisation, here is this, of offering something that was a new vision. do you accept that?” offering something that was a new vision. do you accept that? i accept that may be the priorities are not fair,

party to see but i find the fact that they stepped up because the other parties including my own hadn't managed to form a coalition quite honorable and have given nobody wanted to do it but they did it anyway just now and i suppose that's what you call public service. in the summer of 2018 horse to say whole foot became the prime mover in a crisis that nearly toppled the 3 month old government he'd been opposing chancellor merkel's refugee policies for years then he became interior minister and so board joint responsibility for those very same policies. you can you know believe i went to berlin at the chancellor's request at the o 2 that i could have gone directly from being the state premier of the very into retirement. that instead of all things right from the start i became deeply embroiled with the chancellor over her migration policy since because for me personally it was a very troubling experience for me. up until who would come out on top the chancellor or the interior minister they were squabbling over one seemingly small detail can refugees who've already registered in other e

what they wa nt to labour party socialist. what they want to do above all else is to make sure thatjeremy corbyn is going to his politics don't go along with them. but even in the left of the party, there are lots of arguments about what should happen next. whether in fact you need to have a more charismatic leader or have a women was who favour someone like rebecca long billy. but also about how to present their politics. some agree with this wide range of radical policies they had a nationalization but disagree on the fa ct nationalization but disagree on the fact that they seem to come thick and faster in the election chemotherapy people were not even able to take in what they were talking about. some on the left recognise there also has to be a different presentation of the policies and the direction of the party is correct. the possibility that we could see quite a right spread change in terms of what labour looks like thinking of the faces here present becausejohn mcdonnell is not going to be in the shadow cabinet. is th

alliance are a cross community party, the only party standing in all seats. they say it is anti—democratic for one party to move aside, they say they are not unionist, not nationalist, and there has been a surge for the middle ground in the european elections this year, the local elections alliance did really well. they are a bit like the lib dems and that they want another referendum, cancel brexit, that is the ticket that amy long is standing on trying to unseat the dup in east belfast. as for the sdlp, they are trying very hard to win back a seat in the foil constituency. that was one of the closest in 2017. that is the one they are throwing everything at. but in the big picture, it is the dup and sinn fein who will pick up the majority of the votes, about a third of the vote share each they got at last election. they are still very much likely to be the two biggest parties with the other three we have mentioned trying to fight to get back in there at westminster. important for me to also add a big feature of the arguments between the parties in this cam

we have heard from the labour party. there has been a response to this. the spokesperson said all of these individuals are either expelled or suspended in these claims about numbers of cases are categorically untrue. jeremy corbyn brought forward new powers which are in operation to expelled individuals in cases of indisputable anti—semitism in a matter of weeks, rather than months, and, finally, this is proof of the robust action the party is taking root out anti—semitism. no other party has introduced rapid expulsion processes stop and it has been revealed that three conservative candidates have engaged in anti—semitism in recent yea rs engaged in anti—semitism in recent years and haven't apologised, but the conservatives are still refusing to suspend them. so we're going to come to a story soon. but let's turn to the telegraph now. 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 sa

is that for all the parties? i think all the parties know they need at this moment to get people on side and therefore we can see them out in what we call those key marginal seats where things can change with literally a few hundred or thousand votes, sometimes less, can swing it one way or the other. we will see them out campaigning in these last days, and i think the key thing will be undecided voters, will the parties have time to turn them around to their way of thinking? also tactical voting. we have heard so much more about it in this election than i think any other and we have websites telling people how to tactically vote depending on what way they want to go, but will that be enough? it seems quite organised this time, but tactical voting is a difficult thing to achieve in order to get people to bow to a certain way. certainly when i have been out and about people are talking about it more so than i have seen before. the weather, another factor. it more so than i have seen before. the weather, anotherfac

just been lost to the party. but then you have to add in the other pressure, which is the demand to have a candidate who is a woman and from the north? everyone finds it quite embarrassing in the labour party that we haven't had a female leader yet. i think it is something people will be talking about. ultimately, labour members are predominantly from the south, from university towns and cities and keir starmer is popular among those members for that reason. he is the one who pushed the pro—remain stance, certainly the pro—2nd referendum stance. a lot of this leadership election, about the analysis of why labour lost the last election so badly. 0bviously analysis of why labour lost the last election so badly. obviously it lost a lot of leave seats and if you think, that is because the position was a bit too remain heavy, maybe lisa nandy is your candidate, because she has been the one talking about towns for so long and the growing divide and also opposed another referendum. so it is about brexit as much as a

democrats or the labour party or any new ce ntre—left party, democrats or the labour party or any new centre—left party, there are really only one charismatic leader away from electoral success, logically? it is difficult to see how your conservative vote can really hold sway for years?” how your conservative vote can really hold sway for years? i do not agree with that and the reason i do not agree is that the communities that have voted conservative have been frankly forgotten about and allowed to decline under successive governments. they do not have a massive amount of trust for political parties and politicians in general. the reason that people have plenty prime minister therefore it is because of getting brexit delivered but also an idea of, come on, we will give you an opportunity to make things better. if the conservatives are complacent and do not take that opportunity, we will have lost their trust and we will deserve to lose their void but with a huge amount of care and attention has gone in this direction, understand what is motivating people in the areas gone blue, t

the green party have. at the state level have have done well they've showed they be efficient manages and so i think the green party would do well and i think in some ways almost like a realignment in german politics where the green party is going to be the main party of the left and of course what will be then interesting is to see if we will get the so-called jamaica coalition or a coalition of the green party the cd you see as you and the liberals now they try to do that last time the liberals weren't weren't terribly keen and pulled out but i think that would probably be the the future but the a if t. don't have coalition po tensional and they don't have black my a potential so even if they were to get 15 percent of the votes. they will be politically speaking relatively irrelevant. after 10 years of stability and the angle of merkel where is germany headed right now will it be able to maintain its dominant. economic and political position within the e.u. . that's a big question mark germany's very muc

the democratic party they will tell you is the party of unity, the party that brings everyone together. in 2016, one of hillary clinton's many slogans was "stronger together." it's not a bad message, it's a great message but itin does not apply to the democratic party. theoe democrats as of right now aree profoundly divided and gettingfo more so. consider this, joe biden is still at the top of the polls for his party's presidential nomination. alexandria ocasio-cortez has become the party's top ideological trendsetter, she's got more twitter followers and joe biden does or any democrats in congress. how much do biden and ocasio-cortez like each other? that's a trick question, they despise each other. ocasio-cortez thinks biden is doddering and pathetic end biden thinks she's a extreme it's not. a to mike of course are both right. >> the party isn't there at all. >> some of your opponents are. >> but the party's not there, you all thought the party moved extremely to the left, aoc is the new party. she's a bright, wonderful person but where's the party, come on man. >> tucker: that's no

tonight, borisjohnson, leader of the conservative party, and jeremy corbyn, leader of the labour party, go head—to—head in the bbc prime ministerial debate. applause good evening and welcome to maidstone studios in kent. have you made up your mind yet? where ever you live, whoever you vote for, one of these two men will be prime minister, in a week's time. tonight, for the next hour borisjohnson and jeremy corbyn will debate the future of our country. neither mrjonasson or of our country. neither mrjonasson oer of our country. neither mrjonasson or mr corbyn will know the questions they are going to face. they have been chosen by the pollsters, who invited people who support both of their parties and others who have yet to decide how to vote. people from all backgrounds, people from all walks of life. they are here to ask their questions to listen to the a nswe i’s , ask their questions to listen to the answers, to listen to the debate, not to cheer on a team, let alone to boo their opponent, myjob then, is to try and make sure their questions do get answered and this debate is a

you say it's existential, what about a new party, centrist joining the liberal democrats? i'm old enough to remember the 1997 election and people asking if this was the death of the conservative party and they failed to win in 2001 and 2005 now have a majority so i wouldn't write of the labour party yet but they need to have a serious think about how to win back their heartlands other marginal seats. does corbyn have to go now or should he wait while the leadership process unfolds? he will no doubt want to influence it. after the election i thought he should have resigned immediately and then changed my mind, mostly because the first six months of a new government will be about them, the opposition will be irreleva nt about them, the opposition will be irrelevant for a while so it may be better if he stays in place while the party has a think about what it will offer people and who its leadership will be. in terms of the conservatives, the change you are talking about and others are talking about bringing two more deprived parts of the country is complex and it's normally

but of course, just because the governing party wa nts course, just because the governing party wants the election to be about something, it doesn't mean the opposition parties will follow suit and they have got their own agendas and they have got their own agendas and their own policies. of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that the voters will decide that that is the number one issue as well. the electorate get to choose which issues they think are important, and up—to—date, and this into a campaign where we see this frantic movement around the country, what we have seen is the parties reinforcing their key messages, so yes, for borisjohnson, it their key messages, so yes, for boris johnson, it is their key messages, so yes, for borisjohnson, it is brexit. but we saw there for the other parties, they are focusing on their key messages, not simply moving onto his territory. don't go anywhere. let's look at the key messages from the parties. for boris johnson — that's getting brexit done. he's promising the uk will leave the eu onjanuary 31. and that the uk and eu will sign a

york shire party 823. catherine known as kate green party 872. paul allen brexit party 6247. [applause] there were 82 rejected votes nick fletcher is duly elected as a member of parliament on the constituency. >> in the labor party and a former energy secretary and critic of jeremy corbin's leadership and nick fletcher and there's never been a conservative mp since 1922. this is the scale of change we are seeing tonight in the very big labor seats turning toward the conservative. and those with the founders of those labor performances 35 percent or ten out of 60 percent and they are dropping by 80 percentage points. and that percentage share some of the brexit party clearly had a bigger effect. nine.6 percent no longer the mp there the first time ever representing and the majority over 23000 hits now under 3000 why did so many people desert you? >> and upwards of 31000 its 4000 less and it is the collapse of the labor vote. so i am proud and we have a chance now to move the country forward following the exit polls this evening to move the country forward. so just a little bit

brexit has now been internalized, the brexit party is the tory party. you stepping down, how does a -- how can you seriously -- boris johnson say he wants to be a one-nation tory after all this divisiveness, this polarization, their partisanship? how does he bring into the conservative party these new constituencies in labour heartland, working class heartland? >> i think, first of all, he now has the mandate to get brexit done. but that's exactly what those communities will expect. so there is no parliament and different competing groups holding boris johnson back from delivering the brexit that he sold britain. he can now go over to the eu, negotiate that and decision it. but the second thing is you're absolutely right, he needs to deliver. >> yeah. >> for those communities. i grew up in one of them. i grew up in south yorkshire, very strong lead voting area. i represented putney in london, a very remain area. both communities were communitied by one thinunited b one thing, which was the lack of opportunity for young people in our country. people grow

or party members really believe that they can turn this party the fortunes of the party around well it's hell. to say clearly this vote as i say it is in part of who gets scholtz the man who's in government right now and who stands really for continuity. you know the membership of the s.p.d.m. he way have said we don't want that we think it's time for a change something new what they've gotten as i say relatively unknown faces and probably more left wing policies we'll have to see if that does anything to change the waning fortunes of the s.p.d. a reason is the right political correspondent simon young thank you. well 1st it was breaks it and now boris johnson's putting lauren order at the center of the u.k. election campaign the british prime minister says he'll review the country's sentencing system after it was revealed that the man who carried out friday stabbing attack had already served time in jail for terrorism. killed 2 people before police shot him dead the so-called islamic state group has claimed responsibility but offered no evidence to support its claim. police are 12

we lost votes to the brexit party and conservative party. in london we lost votes to the lib dems which allowed the conservatives to pip us. you lost votes everywhere, 2.5 million votes. at that stage, who takes responsibility and says, i will put up my responsibility and says, i will put up my hand, i got this wrong and i lost good people, their work. we all need to take responsibility, just as after 1997-2010 need to take responsibility, just as after 1997—2010 when a labour government did fantastic things, but lost 5 million votes in that time. but they were in government three times. but they lost 5 million votes in that time and everybody in the party had to reflect with humility how we lost those votes and how we get them back. tony blair was the biggest electoral asset you have ever had. he won three elections. you have lost four and you don't seem to see that as a problem. of course i see it as a problem. unlike many people in the media, every day i have to speak to people who are suffering because of conservative austerity. every

and the conservative party having a significant party. and that's despite the brexit party, brand-new party in this election also taking some of the pro-brexit vote. so, a real victory here for the conservative party. another story that we knew going into the night was that the snp, the scottish national party, was going to do very, very well. so, we can look at some of those seats. this was a win for the liberal democrats and not just a win for the snp from the liberal democrats but this took away joe swin son, the leader of the liberal democrat seat. this was one of the most significant moments of the election. and actually in scotland we saw significant results. you can see here how much of it was turning yellow throughout the night. this was a night of drama. this was a night where seats changed. this was a night where we had shock exits and significant victory. the conservatives best performance since margaret thatcher in 1987 giving them a mandate to deliver brexit. anna stewart from the cnn results center. >> thanks very much, anna

said, do not vote for our party the brexit party, vote for the conservatives. which puts the brexit party leader in the slightly tricky position with the inquisitor.. party leader in the slightly tricky position with the inquisitor. a week before polling day they have resided and said vote tory. one of them is the sister of a cabinet minister in the sister of a cabinet minister in the other, has a boyfriend working for that cabinet minister. fact. and another one is a personal friend of borisjohnson. theyjoined, they are facts. and the role in the general election being about not what the brexit party is actually doing it self to what effect it has basically on conservative candidates. this is a blast from the past in a brexit cast. a leak from brussels. it is definitely not going into your binder, these leaked conclusions, before the eu summit before the day of the election here. will be before thursday and friday and it always shows they're going to conclude. when it comes to brexit, you can see them offer this slightly difficult position because they have to

this party must listen, and this party must respond, or this party will die. the entire city of glasgow is now represented by the snp and ready for another referendum. i definitely think we should be allowed to have an independence referendum, and i think that steps should be taken, if possible, to force them to make this happen, to let this happen. ijust think that... england's going one way, scotland's going another, so we should be able to decide for ourselves. if the will‘s there and they get the go—ahead from westminster, it will happen again, and we'll have to make that choice again. and i'll be voting no again. chanting: boris johnson has to go! hundreds of demonstrators marched through glasgow city centre tonight, protesting against the tory government they say scotland did not vote for. as this country moves in a different political direction, it will inevitably test the endurance of the whole united kingdom. borisjohnson has spoken on the phone with nicola sturgeon tonight and we are told that he made clear his resolute opposition to another inde

vote and the conservative party's vote and the conservative party's vote and the conservative party's vote is changing. the conservatives are very keen to win the seat back and they are definitely putting resources into winning it back this time, yet they remain vote that is growing in croydon, combined with the local issues that ray and i have been talking up about, the conservatives have been appealing to northern constituencies in the midlands and the north west and england and wales, and it all means that the shape of what we can expect in our politics is different. it could be that croydon central goes labour even when the rest of the country votes conservative. even when the rest of the country votes conservative. thank you very much, we are out of time, sadly. very difficult to predict. still much to play for in the coming days as people really start to get to grips with what is going to determine their vote. thanks very much geeta — great to get the lay of the land in croydon. bbc news has lots of tools to help navigate this election campaign. you can use our election transl

this party must listen and this party must respond, or this party will die. scotland's first minister wanted borisjohnson out of downing street but knows a majority tory government could help her move closer to scottish independence. the scottish government will next week publish the detailed democratic case for a transfer of power to enable a referendum to be put beyond legal challenge. i have been clear that a referendum must be the responsibility of the scottish parliament. so, this election has emphasised that scotland is going in a very different political direction from the rest of the uk. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. the loss ofjo swinson's seat to the snp capped a dismal night for the liberal democrats. going into this election with so many hopes. tom symonds has followed their campaign. yeah, it was a dreadful defeat for jo swinson. she's only been on the job of leaderfor11m jo swinson. she's only been on the job of leaderfor 144 days jo swinson. she's only been on the job of leader for 144 days and during that period, especially the last

but under survival of the labour party. but undeer survival of the labour party. but under mr corbyn, it has travelled so far away from electability, that if it carries arm on that trajectory, thenit it carries arm on that trajectory, then it will never be returned to government and it will be replaced by another force, another party, he doesn't identify you as the alternatives to the conservatives. so his analysis is a pretty dark one. either the party because back from the corbyn agenda or it is over. this is a moment in the labour party's history. it is not like any election defeat labour has ever had. this is a moment when it has got to re—engineer aggressive social democratic politics, and it can lead to that or over time, it will be replaced. because there is too much political energy that is not conservative. in a question and a nswer conservative. in a question and answer session, he was asked how he would characterise the current period of reflection in the labour party and he said his fear was it was like everyone are sitting around ina was like everyo

party saw considerable gains now the election results defied expectations for the main parties what the conservatives did far better than expected the labor party in the liberal democrats saw their hopes dashed labour's leader is now on his way out and the lib dems leader has already gone failing even to win her own seat for the man who called it this election was an all or nothing gamble do or die in the end narratives gave way to relief as he and his conservatives looked on course for a historic night. the unlikeliest rock star welcome tells the 4 story of the result. that paid off. with this mandate and this majority we will be able to do what. the pay attention to is this this election means that getting brits done is not the irrefutable irresistible although arguable decision. of the british people this 2nd story is that of a labor party in need of a hug after it was defeated decades there heartlands did the unthinkable and voted conservative it is now no longer a matter of will leader jeremy corbyn go but when. this is obviously a very disappointing night for the labor party w

if neither of the main parties wins outright, the leader of the scottish national party has made it clear she'd only consider offering her backing to one side. i will never do anything to put borisjohnson into downing street. so he doesn't need to worry? but labour, in order to get a budget and a queen's speech through, if they're in a minority position, need the support of another party. and if scotland votes for the snp, in a hung parliament giving scotland enormous leverage, then and i will exercise that firstly in line with scotland's interests. also hoping to pull in the voters in this final stretch, the lib dem leader, who says neither borisjohnson orjeremy corbyn are fit to be pm, but could she work with someone else? there are clearly lots of people within the labour party who i do work well with and have worked well within the last two and a half, three and a half years. we have been working on a cross—party basis to try to secure a people's vote, and that kind of cooperation will absolutely continue. with the big day fast approaching, the stage is being set. all the players ca

basically the conservatives, this is now the party of leave mac voters in the labour party, having lost the mantle earlier this year, has regained a lot of its position as the mental of remain voters. do you think people are getting too excited about this now? maybe overestimating the two horse race? yes and no. i think that exaggerating it in the sense that we are still in a position, at least on the average of the polls, whereby the conservatives should get around 350 seats or so and borisjohnson should be able to deliver brexit as he is minded to do. and equally also, there is not much sign of a labour party being able to do damage to the conservatives. the labour party are losing just as much of the vote to the conservatives now as they were four weeks ago. to that extent at least, yes, there is a risk of exaggeration and certainly underestimating the way in which the conservatives really have managed to maintain their lead. that said, we do have to bear in mind that given probably borisjohnson needs a bit more than a six point lead before we say, yeah, he is all clearly home and dr

if the labour party is not to go how the labour party has gonein not to go how the labour party has gone in scotland and reclaim these traditional grounds in the north you have to act quite quickly, don't you? leslie is thoughtful and she's right. we need to be calm and make sure we are notjust right. we need to be calm and make sure we are not just having a discussion amongst ourselves, not just blood—letting and going over what we might have done differently but looking forward. we let the british public down, my constituents did notjust vote british public down, my constituents did not just vote for me british public down, my constituents did notjust vote for me because they want to be as the mp, a photo of the labour party because some of them have such issues that the only belief in only labour really will resolve, and they don't have a labour government big so we've got to be listening to the people up and down the country. many of whom you have heard from so many reports that they lent their votes to the conservative party, lending their vote and it hopefully that case. you have
