keir starmer, i don't think he's powerful enough. i think he's a gentleman. party leaders aside, voters are telling us they're concerned, unsurprisingly, about the cost of living, about local bus services, and about a national rail strike. but at this by—election, there are other issues at play. the previous conservative mp, imran ahmed khan is in prison for sexually assaulting a 15—year—old. labour were quick to highlight the issue. but with some voters, this seems to be backfiring. carole was angry that this leaflet contained an attack, but no policies. why aren't they coming and putting a case forward to me? it'd be interesting to see mr starmerjustify that. you see, i can'tjustify it. sorry. labour insists it's conducting a positive campaign. the conservatives say that more than 70 of their mps have been on the doorsteps here. the party believes that in this brexit supporting seat, recent polls suggesting a substantial lead for labour simply isn't matched by the reality on the ground. while some voters have mentioned partygate to me, unprompted, not

for sir keir starmer, can he rebuild labour's backing where he really needs to? tattoo artist dave was a labour voter all his life, but switched to the tories in 2019 because of brexit. now, facing the struggle of rising bills, he has lost faith across the board. let us down, really. if borisjohnson had delivered, they could have kept the vote here. i'd like to think i could have voted labour, but no, not with keir starmer there. nobody represents working people any more. not far away, scott, whose specialist woodshop we first visited during the pandemic, shares a sense of disillusion. they just want that little notch on their belt of, "we've got wakefield again". it should go to whoever�*s going to do best for wakefield. it's not about, its red or blue, because as soon as this by—election's done, we'll be forgot about again. but for now, the political focus is on wakefield, where smaller parties and independents are among those vying for residents' votes in a contest that promises to measure the public mood and leave letterboxes full of leaflets. alex forsyt

the question of course we had put to keir starmer there is this a move towards labour? because keir starmer is attracting them or is it a protest at boris johnson and is attracting them or is it a protest at borisjohnson and his leadership being driven away from the tories? there is certainly a huge mountain to climb in huge part of the north, yorkshire, the midlands and north—west to win back those seats, the so—called red wall they lost in 2019. corinne wheatley in wakefield. just one last thought from here in tiverton and honiton. the liberal democrats were accused by some of their critics are creating the perfect candidate in a factory. he turned out to be the perfect candidate because he won, richard ford is a former army officer. the liberals also selected a former army officers for the by—election in yeovil in 1983, a man called paddy ashdown. i wonder what happened to him? thank you. ok we will go now to conservative mp mark prichard. thank you forjoining us. was this a referendum on the prime minister? what it is is clearly a message to the conservative p

sir keir starmer doesn't want the strike to go ahead, but does he support the unions? he says the government wants a conflict. conservatives see political benefits. the strike should not go ahead — but here's the truth. borisjohnson and grant shapps want the strikes to go ahead. they want the country to grind to a halt so they can feed off the division. instead of spending their time around the negotiating table, they�* re designing attackers. instead of grown—up conversations to take the heat out of the situation, they're pouring petrol on the fire. and labour says the government hasn't engaged in talks since march. if no agreement is reached this week, it's possible the strikes won't be the last. damian grammaticas, bbc news. scotrail say 90% of trains will need to be cancelled during the three days of action by the rmt union. the dispute does not involve scotrail staff, but it relies on network rail workers to operate signal boxes and maintain track. 0ur scotland reporter, alexandra mackenzie, has the latest from glasgow queen street station. there's going to

the labour leader, sir keir starmer, is to be investigated over potential breaches of rules on gifts and earnings. parliament's standards commissioner is investigating whether sir keir broke the house of commons code of conduct. mps must declare within 28 days any interest which might be reasonably considered to influence their actions. sir keir appears to have missed this deadline on several occasions. he says he's confident no rules have been broken. we can talk now to our political correspondent nick eardley. what's being claimed here? it was a simple update on the standards commissioner's website that told us these investigations were going on. she doesn't provide details of what exactly she is looking at. my understanding is, this refers to the late declaration of some payments around a book that circular starmer is writing, and some football tickets he was given as a gift —— sir keir. a spokesman for sir keir says he takes his declarations very seriously, has apologised to the commission for these like declarations, and has been asked to provide more information, which he s

keir starmer can see there could be damaged to appear too close to a union on strike and doesn't form links with labour party in any case. he has told his ministers, stay off the picket lines. two of them have defied that picket line ban. most surprisingly, the labour party leader in scotland, usually an ally of keir starmer has treated a picture of himself on the picket lines expressing solidarity with the workforce. at the very least, embarrassing for labour. iain watson, thank _ embarrassing for labour. iain watson, thank you. - our business editor simonjack is here. simon, we have soaring inflation, and it's notjust the railway workers who are looking for pay rises to keep up with rising prices? iam i am looking down the list of the different types of professions which are waiting for their pay review. school teachers, police, nhs, all of these people are waiting to see what they will be offered. teachers already saying if we don't get an inflation matching pay rise, which is currently at 9%, heading to 11%, they will ballot their members for action. this dispute is an acid test a

i think keir starmer will in many ways want borisjohnson to carry on as leader because it —— he looks politically wounded. the fact that he was booed at the jubilee celebrations over the weekend spoke volumes about where public opinion has shifted in terms of borisjohnson. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: what the public make of borisjohnson's leadership —— climate change and conflict — how global efforts to tackle carbon emmissions are being affected by the war in ukraine. the day the british liberated the falklands. and by tonight, british troops have begun the task of disarming the enemy. in the heart of the west german capital, this was gorbymania at its height. the crowd packed to see the man who, for them, has raised great hopes for an end to the division of europe. it happened as the queen moved towards horse guards parade - for the start of- trooping the colour. gunshots the queen looks worried, but recovers quickly. - as long as they'll pay to go see me, i'll get out there and kick �*em down the hills. what does it feel like to be th

>> keir starmer said it was a disgrace that boris johnson still in his job. we have two key buying elections --by-election's where conservative members lost their jobs under scandalous circumstances. one is in the north of england that used to be a safe haven of seats that went to the conservatives in 2019. labor are leading there by 20 points. if that result comes through, that is a huge bruise for keir stamer's labour party. that means all the keyboards can revert to labour. his big benchmark policy that he has to redistribute economic growth across this country, in those seats in the red wall, and if they decide he is not able to deliver that sort of growth and boost to their life chances, then really all of this government's agenda seems to be in tatters. francine: thanks so much, dave. i tweeted yesterday, mea culpa, and they thought i was talking about love island. not so sure about tom mackenzie, we will see. tom: no comment, francine. francine: still with us is laura cooper, senior investment strategist at blackrock, this is not really moved markets b
