one of the things on the tombstone that ed miliband would have put in the garden of downing street wasolled immigration. they even put it on a mug famously and a lot of people then said it is no good ed miliband saying controls on immigration if people don't believe that he actually wants to control it in the way the voters labour at that point were losing wanted to. one thing that is interesting, where did keir starmer say read my lips? on the sun on sunday. and i know newspapers are not as powerful or influential as they used to be, their power and influence has been overstated anyway... often by themselves. by themselves and their most ardent critics. they do matter. i don't know if they do, but for those who think they do, if you are watching what is happening with the sun, which endorsed blair, having switched from the conservatives, they like to back a winner and they are giving keir starmer a fair wind, and i think watch out for that in a few weeks. even if you don't think the papers and what they do matter to you, there are big clues on what the parties and where the parties ch

miliband and made quite funny memes about ed miliband.e, what's this millifandom thing? it's a supercharged version of some stuff that's been around for a little while. and the other thing is they'll be learning, don't make a hostage to fortune. in other words, don't do a video with a blank whiteboard or some very patentable over bits of content, because your enemies will take it and remix it with some with words or pictures or content that makes you look like an idiot. yeah. and exactly on that point is that if you think back to like you say, kind of like fandoms, political fandoms, we also obviously have like fandoms in all other walks of life, not just politics. those things aren't new, but i think what feels different this time is actually kind of two key changes in the social media platforms that people are using. one is that tik tok is a thing, it wasn't before, and the other is that x is different to how it was when it was twitter since elon musk bought it. and i think that that explains this kind of turbo—charged feel of like ever

so, former adviser to ed miliband and columnist, very good to get your thoughts.ing to the polls. we have a poll tracker on our website so check that out for special coverage of the uk general election. increasing numbers of children with special educational needs and disabilities are being taught in mainstream schools, but providing this extra support doesn't always come with extra funding. across england, more than 1.5 million children now receive additional support, which puts extra pressure on some schools' budgets. rogerjohnson reports. they're used to the sounds of excitement in anfield. all saints catholic primary sits almost in the shadow of liverpool's famous stadium. the school has 461 children from reception to year six. over 40% have some kind of support for additional needs. all saints is a wonderful school. we've got wonderful staff, wonderful children. parents just want the best for their children. and if they know a school is positive and supportive and they can get support for their children and themselves, they will gravitate towards your school.

whereas ed miliband's priority is to decarbonise further and faster than anybody else.0 of taxes for families. so the difference there, claire, is that you would say you would be less green. >> i mean, you'd have to openly admit that you would not be green at the same pace as labour would be going at it. well nobody, when you look at all of our peers and other countries around the world, nobody is going to do the pace that labour and ed miliband want to do. >> and that's because of the enormous cost it would put on families in this country. so when it comes to clean energy , i when it comes to clean energy, i would say our record is very strong. nobody has built more offshore wind, for example, than us. bar china anywhere in the world. we've done an enormous amount to bring energy into the system, but i'm always going to do that in a way which thinks about the costs to working families. and actually what you get with the labour party and ed miliband is this blind rush to go further and faster than anybody else, even if that would mean hiking up people's bills or their t

but what got me is i was thinking, think about how tony blair or david cameron or ed miliband, they wouldhad a joke to disarm robert and make the crowd laugh. and we saw a sort of little flicker of that with keir starmer when beth rigby said, "you're really boring, aren't you"? and he went, "0h, thanks". um, and i was quite surprised neither of them had something to, like, cheer everyone up or like, make light of that. we have seen starmer deploy that line, "well, look, we tried exciting with borisjohnson and look, like, look how that worked out. "you know, boring maybe isn't such a problem when we've been through such a tumultuous time", but i was surprised he didn't deploy that again last night. isn't the truth that neither of them is a particularly brilliant political campaigner? i mean, if you compare to tony blair or boris johnson, whatever his flaws, that was a great political strength as a communicator or even actually nigel farage, whatever you make of his message. i mean, today he was in a room full of a thousand people, and he was often getting them to laugh out loud. and i mean

miliband.tarted by asking sonia sodha about the criticism labour has faced over its handling of diane abbott and if this is an indication that sir keir starmer is trying to push through his allies. i think it is a fair characterisation of what is happening. i think personally the diane abbott question, whether she was going to be allowed to stand again, that was handled badly by the party. i don't think that anybody around keir starmer or within labour would claim that that was handled well. but i think more broadly when you look at what is going on with labour's candidate selection, it is very clear that some candidates have resigned late and some candidates of keir starmer�*s choice are being put forward for those seats. what i will say is that that is what every single labour leader does. it is sort of to be expected, that is how politics works. you have some really high quality labour candidates being put forward in those seats. starmer has got an eye too if i am in government where is the

miliband as well.now, when the red wall was basically smashed by the tories, would you then say that jeremy corbyn probably would have, but he was allowed to say part of the leaders debate. yes, because he actually had a significant party. they have not proved themselves. >> and what's wrong with our democracy as people like joanna seven times and he's going to fail once again in my opinion, john, reform are polling higher than the current government. >> i know there are no mps at the moment, but, the nigel should surely be on that stage. >> i think he should be. yeah. and i if i was the bbc, i certainly wouldn't cancel him. this is what it would amount to. and people would be then. so sort of oh bbc's deciding what the election should be. it's called a general election. it's not called a discussion among mps. they're not mps anymore. he's obviously been the most important figure that's come onto the stage during the election campaign. he's affected a very large number of votes. we already can see that

ed miliband, our shadow secretary of state for energy, is the mp for doncaster.ansition looks like. we are committing when we publish our manifesto, to creating more jobs in for nonh to creating more jobs in for north sea oil and gas workers than currently exist, but essentially jobs that are future proofed in clean energy so that they can power us through the next century, like their parents and grandparents, powered us through the last lisa nandy thank you to stay there. >> lisa nandy bev. that's lisa nandy. have you got one question for her? >> yeah, well, yes. chopper, i just want to see whether she thought the audience was as biased towards the left as many people who were watching on social media seem to think about that audience . only the hard that audience. only the hard left points got a round of applause . applause. >> well, i did, i did think that. yeah, there's a question that. yeah, there's a question that bev turner's asking the studio was the audience biased in favour of the left? i say that because there was applause for anti—brexit remarks. pro—

i think it was his ed miliband bacon sandwich moment, which starmer hasn't had yet.l time for starmer to make a terrible mistake, a la miliband or kinnock. but i doubt it'll happen because they're playing such a safe game, trying to not say anything that will upset anyone. i mean, on education on at the weekend bridget phillipson, the shadow education secretary, made some ludicrous statements saying they were going to halve violence to women and girls. how on earth can you pluck a figure out of the air like that? how can you say something as absurd as that? she also said earlier that every child in the country will have an expert teacher . again, an expert teacher. again, ludicrous claims and promises. i don't think the general public at all buy any of these platitudes and nonsensical. >> where does that figure come from? >> luciana a 50% reduction. >> luciana a 50% reduction. >> well , we see >> luciana a 50% reduction. >> well, we see some terrible statistics in this country of women not not only subject to violence, but women who are murdered in this country by th

>> why are you laughing at great british energy, of course, is being run by that great loser, ed milibandeably being kept very much as far away from the airwaves as possible. >> he was all over the airwaves because he's a loser, and the general public all know miliband is a loser, and that as for gb energy, what is it? actually, it's not going to do anything. it's just a quango that's going to cost the taxpayer a huge amount of money. and again, it's labour coming up with fanciful stuff that is more bureaucracy , stuff that is more bureaucracy, more legislation and more cost for the taxpayer . i have to for the taxpayer. i have to challenge that. >> please forgive me, but it's just this is just nonsense. okay we import so much energy in this country when we could and should be creating it ourselves. we should be harnessing as an island so much more power that comes from the wind and the sun. do you want a wind turbine farm near where you live? i would, i'd welcome any form of renewable energy, which means i don't have to pay for it. absolutely. >> the labor party, we've got tax. >> all th

miliband, who will be the climate change secretary.ould have correct. and that would have explained where the 600,000 jobs are coming from. we haven't got no not now. >> no. there is still, as i understand it. and we can check this something like £7.5 billion will be invested in green energy , green infrastructure. and if you put that sort of money in, it will it will get gb energy. it will indeed. and it will create new jobs. and you're right, if we do stop allowing exploration of north sea oil and gas, that will of course, inevitably and very sadly, no one wants to see any job losses. you will see job losses in those areas. the hope and the expectation is that they will be replaced by more jobs in a green infrastructure . infrastructure. >> these jobs are going to be lost from the north. >> yes, in the in the post—industrial heartlands is what labour is saying. >> so 200,000 jobs we know will go matthew is they're saying they hopefully will replace them. >> well though they say they will. i'm hoping i'm hoping it doesn't do any good

miliband want to tax the uk's oil and gas sector and the 100,000 scottish jobs that it supports into to ban all oil and gas. it turns out just british oil and gas. they would rather virtue signal to eco zealots than protect jobs here at . at. home. and the snp, well, they are the nonh and the snp, well, they are the north east's great pretenders. they claim to be in favour of new oil and gas, but then they oppose every single field that actually gets a licence. they say that they oppose extending the windfall tax on energy companies, but now they want to introduce a second windfall tax, and they say that they will back oil and gas workers, but they hit them with higher and higher taxes each and every year. you can't trust the snp to stand up for the future of oil and gas, because when push comes to shove, they put radical environmentalism ahead of pragmatism and livelihoods. there is only one party with a clear and unequivocal position on the future of our oil and gas industry, who are standing up for north east livelihoods and communities. no ifs , no buts. communities. no ifs, no b

and i'm going to remind you that ed miliband got egged.is not the same as having political, actual political violence. i do not condone the action, but politicians, the world over have eggs thrown at them all the time. all right, we have to move on, again, we can't talk too much about that incident . just much about that incident. just the notion in general that we can all agree political violence. i hope you all agree political violence of any form against any politician, of any stripe has no place in modern politics. thank you very much. stella and alex, for that debate. now there's lots more still to come between now and 6:00 and later this hour i'll be joined by coronation street legend after a corrie star said she's leaving the fabled cobbles after an astonishing 50 years. but first it's your headlines with polly middlehurst. >> first of all, let's bring you some breaking news from wales, where first minister vaughan gething has lost a vote of no confidence tabled by the welsh conservatives . let's show you conservatives. let's show y

and ed miliband's policy, the labour policy, i'm afraid, would risk blackouts and dramatically increase>> that's michael gove and i should say, by the way, sirjim should say, by the way, sir jim ratcliffe, who owns oil refineries in scotland through ineos , his company, he's been on ineos, his company, he's been on stage today. he's been asked about this idea of decarbonising the country by 2030. he has said, that's absurd. so you've got big business here questioning the idea of decarbonising the uk or as best they can by 2030. if labour win power . power. >> really, really interesting stuff there. but of course it all ties together, doesn't it? after all, the conservatives have passed a lot of this legislation. christopher hope, thank you very much for joining us and making that all very clear. >> well, quite. yes, anyway , the >> well, quite. yes, anyway, the bank of england have decided to hold the base rate for the seventh consecutive time. it is at 5.25. well, this comes despite the inflation figure, of course, reaching the bank's target 2% just yesterday. well, the shadow chancell

ed miliband was pelted by an egg on the campaign trail.lso had, a teenager throw an egg at david cameron. is an egg different? >> i think an egg is different. i think i think there is a time honoured tradition of egging politicians and not advocate violence. it's been we've seen every politician under the sun be egged since time immemorial. it's a it's a it's an english tradition . it's probably a tradition. it's probably a western tradition. you throw eggs at politicians. that's just sort of that. you sort of expect that, i think. i think milkshakes are different. tomato. oh, that is proper tradition . we need stocks in tradition. we need stocks in stocks in town squares for politicians. really but but i think milkshakes are different. and here's why. you've got you've got a container which could have anything in it. you're running up to someone . you're running up to someone. and we're talking in a time where, of course, people have had all sorts thrown on them. corrosive substances, acid, alkaline fluids . we don't want alkaline fluids.

i was the man who was brought in to make sure that ed miliband never ate a bacon sandwich or any othera big they've been a big part since really 1979, when mrs. thatcher's election, which was the first kind of photo opportunity election , they've opportunity election, they've obviously been photo opportunities before, but the one remember the iconic image of her with the calf, and the trouble with photo opportunities is that the law of diminishing returns, because once you've done the one, you're the same shot once, as it were, it loses its impact. so actually, in 1983, mrs. thatcher went back to a farm. she put her hand into some straw, thinking she's going to pick up some straw. and in fact, she got her her hands covered in something that was not straw. that was in fact, dung. so. yeah, absolutely. so it is, it is it is a law of diminishing returns. the media demands it, you know, every day, you know, i was the broadcast officer every day. you had the broadcaster saying pictures, pictures, pictures and i was sometimes frustrated with the campaign. they weren't giving enough pictures

. >> well , ed kingdom. >> well, ed miliband shared his thoughts on climate change and getting bills6. now. we've got 21 days before they've got to go. well, that's what the labour candidate for brent east, dawn butler, posted on her twitter account, referencing an early noughties garage tune. yes, that's garage , garage tune. yes, that's garage, not farage. let's have a listen. >> dawn butler nelson production come on 4th of july. >> don't forget to 21 days to go. >> we got 21 days to go. if you like, let me know. let me add the shadow . got 21 days because the shadow. got 21 days because you gotta go. preciate d—day. where did he go ? where did he go? >> say you wish you had d—day. where did he go? like, don't let a liar run the show. >> like don't let a liar run the show. if you like me, let me know. let me add a shadow. got 21 days before they gotta go. >> 21 days to go 21 days to go 21 days to go 21 days to go 21 days. say who you like 21 days to hagath toys won't like me anyway. >> but i won't hesitate. cause labour party are here to stay. we're going to the very top the tories

miliband. have we had ever since? total chaos in this. in this country we need change. the country is crying out for change. >> you refuse to engage with what starmer is going to do with the future, and that's the problem. it's going to work. >> it's going to whack up taxes. andrew, we know this, we know this. and they've studiously not ruled out putting up capital gains tax. that is a tax on landlords . anybody with shares landlords. anybody with shares things like that. they've not done that. because if they say that then everyone's going to flog all their assets now. >> and they and they play into this terrible, terrible myth that landlords are bad people. yeah. most landlords have one additional. >> exactly. yeah. >> exactly. yeah. >> it may be grandma and grandpa playing into this myth though. >> andrew, why is he the labour party? >> smith. which is why they're going to screw the landlords. >> we don't know that. yes we do. we do, yes we do. >> by the way, if there will be higher capital
