somehow, however imperfectly, to somehow, however imperfectly, personified the country they want to lead. and we had a bit of it from keir starmer today, talking about this place, basically, and where he came from, trying to paint a picture of what he's all about and what made him as he sees it the man he is, as well as the north london thing, the constituency thing, where he now lives and represent in parliament, andindeed lives and represent in parliament, and indeed some of those labels that some of his opponents will seek to throw around his neck that might sort of lean into that kind of metropolitan detachment thing that goes with seeing to be from an representing north london. and that thing around landing being somewhere, it gives a sense of a

world city that happens to be our national capital may be atypical of the wider uk. national capital may be atypical of the wider uk-_ national capital may be atypical of the wider uk. later on, you did an interview with _ the wider uk. later on, you did an interview with him _ the wider uk. later on, you did an interview with him and _ the wider uk. later on, you did an interview with him and i _ the wider uk. later on, you did an interview with him and i had - the wider uk. later on, you did an interview with him and i had to - interview with him and i had to laugh. i wasn't laughing at your interview, it was interesting, but the actual setting for the interview, the main camera shot was you and him in a room where there was a unionjack bunting on the walls, it looks like your leading against the bar in a traditional pub and you could see there were quirky mugs and floral wallpaper. it was like you were in a middle england theme park. yeah, totally. there were unions like absolutely everywhere. funny enough, i saw kind of cardboard box that had a union flag written on it. it was part of the kind of paraphernalia of election campaigns that the various party leaders all carry around the kind of helped create the staging and choreography

of these kind of events. there is a bit of concern as they were sort of setting up the spot where i did the interview and various journalists at that their interviews, because i think one—shot showed kind of the security on this. just to protect this village hall on the coast of sussex. i think some were worried that it looked like a prison or whatever. it gives you some sense of the kind of attention to detail. it bordering on sort of paranoia. perhaps understandable that they are absolutely conscious of everything at the moment. you might remember the photo the other day that was doing around and lead to some over rishi sunak, where he was photographed on this plane when he was dashing around all corners of

uk. it seems quite trivial and whatever, but those sort of images kind of matter in political campaigns. they are always punches about the backdrop. labour really, really conscious about not leaving anything to chance and avoiding any kind of errors that either knock them off their campaigning stride or allow people to sort of tease and take the mag. some might not like the abundance of union flags, but it's something that labour and keir starmer absolutely lynn into to counter that perception under the previous leadership underjeremy corbyn, that they weren't keen to be seen to be patriotic, and that's something that absolutely keir starmer is very keen to — describing

this place as essentially english, but also surrounding himself and those we union flags. that but also surrounding himself and those we union flags.— but also surrounding himself and those we union flags. that was the look of the — those we union flags. that was the look of the interview, _ those we union flags. that was the look of the interview, let's - those we union flags. that was the look of the interview, let's talk - look of the interview, let's talk about the content. a few things jumped out at me from it. first of all, his unapologetic adoption of the label socialist. that makes me think a few things. 0k, there have been times when socialist has been the word that's been used to the labour party to criticise them and to make people maybe a bit scared of them. there's the fact that actually, lots of people within the labour party would say that keir starmer used to be socialist and he's rejected socialism to get to where he is now. it's actually not a simple word. it where he is now. it's actually not a simple word-— where he is now. it's actually not a simple word. it isn't a simple word, and it's a word _ simple word. it isn't a simple word, and it's a word that _ simple word. it isn't a simple word, and it's a word that comes - simple word. it isn't a simple word, and it's a word that comes with - simple word. it isn't a simple word, and it's a word that comes with a i and it's a word that comes with a certain amount of... some people would attach pride to it, others would attach pride to it, others would regard it with certain scorn. certainly, sc keir starmer pause microphone it's use that word

negatively. when i put the question to him, i thought, negatively. when i put the question to him, ithought, i know negatively. when i put the question to him, i thought, i know he's used the word to describe himself before, but will he do in an election campaign when you're five and a bit weeks away from pulling day, less than that from those of a postal vote? will there be any ducking and diving the user out of that world backward. he described himself as a progressive and tried to explain and define his own label, his own use of that word, socialist, to say it was about as he puts it, be in the service of working people. i think that was the phrase that he used. but i put that direct question to him and he did give a direct answer. and there's less of an answer, the beel say differently, when you did

the follow—up laura kuenssberg question about tax policy. yesterday, rachel reeves had very explicitly said a labour government would not put up rates of income tax or natural insurance for the entire duration of the next parliament. what did you make of his answer? it seemed like a direct answer, but there was probably a little bit of wriggle room. he said in his answer that they had costed all of their plans for their manifesto, which we haven't seen yet. and that didn't require the need to put up any taxes. of course, that doesn't quite mean the same as vat wouldn't go up at all. we know some specific vat will go up, because the idea of putting vat on private school fees

would be a particular element of vat that would change because at the moment, it's not charged on private school fees. but i was asking about the main rate of vat, the stuff that's on pretty much everything, so for those things that are vat exempt. he said it wasn't part of the plans that they need, that they are going to and fail in their manifesto, the ideas that they set out in terms of their spending commitment and tax plans. it was pretty much a direct answer, but with a little bit of wriggle room about circumstances changing in the future is labour win and if stuff happens that makes that a necessity. that's happened since the last general election with the conservatives, because we've seen the pandemic in the scene what's happened with the war in ukraine and the effect on energy bills and all that kind of stuff and the kind of response of the government's had to

manage since then. so, i think it was kind of a straightforward answer, at least a straightforward answer, at least a straightforward answer and how he wanted to frame it, but there was a little bit of wriggle room there.— it, but there was a little bit of wriggle room there. let's talk about the conservative _ wriggle room there. let's talk about the conservative campaign - wriggle room there. let's talk about the conservative campaign now, - wriggle room there. let's talk about | the conservative campaign now, and while all that was happening in your checking out keir starmer�*s semi, which rishi sunak was in buckinghamshire. there is some footage of him dribbling a ball around some cones and i thought he was doing out so badly, but i thought he did it way better than the time i had to do it with peter crouch and it was a disaster. other people are saying he is not that well. but we'll put that to one side. j well. but we'll put that to one side. �* ~' ., well. but we'll put that to one side. �* ~ ., i. well. but we'll put that to one side. �* ~ ., ,, ., side. i didn't know you did that! yes, one side. i didn't know you did that! yes. one day — side. i didn't know you did that! yes, one day when _ side. i didn't know you did that! yes, one day when i _ side. i didn't know you did that! yes, one day when i was - side. i didn't know you did that! yes, one day when i was on - side. i didn't know you did that! | yes, one day when i was on and i side. i didn't know you did that! - yes, one day when i was on and i was going to see the launch of the new england strip. it's a novel nowhere to be seen. once i did it once,

peter crouch took his credit and askedif peter crouch took his credit and asked if i wanted him to take my turn and i said yes, please! back to the people who want to be prime minister. can i give you my theory about the conservative election campaign? g0 about the conservative election campaign?— about the conservative election campaign?- this - about the conservative election campaign?- this is - about the conservative election i campaign?- this is based campaign? go for it. this is based on very little _ campaign? go for it. this is based on very little evidence _ campaign? go for it. this is based on very little evidence because . campaign? go for it. this is basedl on very little evidence because this is the first full week, so this will probably be blown out of the water. i don't know. but i'm wondering if the conservatives have looked at the modern way people consume politics and the news and how they potentially ditch the old school election thing of having a new thing every day so different topline, as we would call it, injournalism, and have they decided that you maybe need a couple of days for a policy idea to sink in? that's why today, they had a second day of talking about their national service policy rather than blitzing us with something new today. yeah, it's interesting- _ something new today. yeah, it's

interesting- i— something new today. yeah, it's interesting. i wonder _ something new today. yeah, it's interesting. i wonder if - something new today. yeah, it's interesting. i wonder if his - something new today. yeah, it's interesting. i wonder if his it - something new today. yeah, it's interesting. i wonder if his it is l interesting. i wonder if his it is because it's a bank holiday weekend and perhaps people are doing other stuff and scrolling through the apps on social media and listening to the telly and podcasts and radio as much they might do. there rest the time, is it because there is an amount of new apology that people are going to announce? conservatives will make the point that they have actually announced a new policy, which we didn't get from keir starmer, and that was part of the conservative critique of keir starmer — rishi sunak saying he spent an hour saying actually nothing. i think the conservative' perspective, it's been... i'm not complaining! but

james cleverly was talking to laura on her programme on bbc one about this idea of national service. it was the first time we had heard that the prime minister talking about it and talking to reporters about it and talking to reporters about it and doing that football thing. i agree with you, i thought he was pretty good. i think one thing people have been teasing him on, maybe he lost his footing a little bit. that will business of dribbling with between the cones — that's not easy, is it? it's the nature of the campaign and clearly people who are in public life and scrutinise, i guess that's how it should be in a democracy with all of the power that a prime minister either reelected or a prime minister either reelected or a new prime minister managed to assume. but my goodness, when the cameras are on you every minute of the day, it is pretty unforgiving, particularly when you're doing something like football or whatever

else it might be that other leaders get up to in the coming days. i think the conservative aim today was to double down on this national service idea, try and explain why they think it is a good one. a minister who was out and about on monday didn't have answers to some of the key questions like, where would those who sign up to serve in the military for their national service live? would you have to build more barix? the argument from the conservatives is they would have a royal commission, a bagel process of working out how on earth this would work, and that would take some time —— a big old process. there would be piloting that was started in 2025, it would take the next five years to get to the place where this whole thing was up and running. they think it's all about trying to bring people together, take people out of

their silos and lots of people from lots of different backgrounds mixing. whether it's the military or public emergency service or whatever it might be. i think the broader strategy from the conservatives is to try and make a splash in these early weeks of the campaign because even though they're the incumbents, when you look at the opinion polls, they are the challengers. labour are widely seen as the favourites to win when you look at the opinion polls. so they're trying to grab attention and perhaps take a few risks, grab the conversation, sees the conversation. i think we will get, by the way, a couple of new policies or at least policy announcements that see how do they are when they come, from the conservatives in the next 2a and 48 hours. come, from the conservatives in the next 24 and 48 hours. don't know what they are yet, but i think that's what's likely to happen. the

thin is if that's what's likely to happen. the thing is if you _ that's what's likely to happen. the thing is if you don't give the hyperactive political presspack a new announcement or something new to get the teeth into, they go looking for trouble elsewhere. that's journalists' jobs. the things they've been finding today is a lot of ill discipline and quite a lot of criticism of rishi sunakfrom his own side. for example, you had zach goldsmith, conservative fear, who's been disgruntled for a while now, having a massive go at him, saying he just having a massive go at him, saying hejust biding his time until he packed his bags to california. the have conservative candidate steve baker saying, "if us ministers have been consulted about this policy, we maybe would have tweaked it a bit — " and then you have somebody until last week was a conservative mp not standing in the selection endorsing the reform candidate in her seat. there's been quite a lot of incoming

from the prime minister's own side. that's right. tightly speaking, i can't quite believe i'm picking you “p can't quite believe i'm picking you up here on a technicality — you're famed, detailed binders of the brexitcaster era. even though parliament is no longer sitting, it hasn't yet completely done technically. i think until thursday, mps are still mps 0h. technically. i think until thursday, mps are still mp— mps are still mps oh, really? i thou~ht mps are still mps oh, really? i thought we — mps are still mps oh, really? i thought we had _ mps are still mps oh, really? i thought we had crossed - mps are still mps oh, really? i thought we had crossed that i thought we had crossed that threshold already. h0. thought we had crossed that threshold already.— thought we had crossed that threshold already. thought we had crossed that threshold alread . ., ., �* ~' threshold already. no, i don't think we have. you're _ threshold already. no, i don't think we have. you're in _ threshold already. no, i don't think we have. you're in possession - threshold already. no, i don't think we have. you're in possession with| we have. you're in possession with the laptop here. you might want to double check that. i'm pretty sure a couple days until thursday were people who are elected in 2019 are still mps, even if they are either standing down or... still mps, even if they are either standing down or. . ._ still mps, even if they are either standing down or... you're totally riuht. isi standing down or... you're totally right. is i write? _ standing down or. .. you're totally right. is i write? i'm— standing down or... you're totally right. is i write? i'mjust- standing down or... you're totally right. is i write? i'mjust going . standing down or... you're totally right. is i write? i'mjust going to| right. is i write? i'm “ust going to do a search h right. is i write? i'm “ust going to do a search. you — right. is i write? i'm “ust going to do a search. you are]— right. is i write? i'mjust going to do a search. you are completelyl do a search. you are completely

conscious that as a small party getting attention is half the battle, i would say it's more than that. it's one heck of a battle. there's a real price at stake in this general election, being forced between the liberal democrats and the scottish national party — almost entirely in different places in the uk. they are tussling to try and be the third biggest party at westminster after the general election because that comes with lots of additional money and lots of additional attention. you get those questions that stephen flynn, the snp's questions that stephen flynn, the snp�*s westminster leader, has promised in questions before that, ian blackford, in this parliament. you'll remember lib dem leaders who had — was it tim farron? that was

during the time with the snp were the biggest party. anyway, there have been lib dem leaders in the past when the lib dems had been the third—biggest party, with the pmqs slot when there was great... you end “p slot when there was great... you end up on the telly and social media much more often. but the lib dems are definitely trying to do the thing that they've done most recently with by—elections or whatever, where they are willing to have a little bit of fun and potentially sometimes, if not of their own expense, bit of playful, cartoonish stuff. that's part of the tone and tenor, consciously, their campaign. j tone and tenor, consciously, their cam airn. , . ~ campaign. i remember nick clegg doinu that campaign. i remember nick clegg doing that as _ campaign. i remember nick clegg doing that as deputy _ campaign. i remember nick clegg doing that as deputy prime i campaign. i remember nick clegg l doing that as deputy prime minister in 2015 and his campaign looked like his gap year, and it didn't really go well. i got loads of pictures on the news, but they had a very disastrous performance. something having fun does not to securely
