dewsbury—hall scored 12 goals and provided a further 12 assists last season., like i said a few days ago, it was unlikely i was going to be able to play. a giving the opportunity to play with my brother on thursday will be special. we have never done so before. i will make sure i make the most of it. it is easier said than done tojust the most of it. it is easier said than done to just enjoy it when you are out there because you are competing and concentrating on trying to win the match, but hopefully we can have a good run. well, the man who murray beat in the first of his wimbledon finals, novak djokovic, is still going strong. the world number two won his first match since a knee operation — defeating vit kopriva in straight sets, under the roof on centre court. djokovic, playing with a knee brace, showed no signs of discomfort against the czech qualifier, finishing the match with three consecutive aces as he moved to the next round in style, where he'll meet british wilcard jacob fearnley. i'm very pleased with the way i felt on the court. obviously, comin

there were similar labour losses in dewsbury and batley, and also in blackburn.bour leaderjeremy corbyn won as an independent, after being banned from standing by labour in the seat which he's held for more than a0 years. the political landscape shifted in every part of the uk overnight. in a moment, we'll get the latest from sara girvin in northern ireland, where sinn fein are now the largest party. hywel griffith has the story in wales, where there are no conservative mps left. but we begin in scotland, on a dramatic night of losses for the snp. james cook has that story. applause. in dramatic, emphatic fashion, scottish labour is back. they swept the board here in glasgow, a moment for which they have waited nearly a decade. people across glasgow, scotland and the uk have voted for change. as the clock ticked past midnight, it slowly dawned on the snp this was notjust a bad dream — it was a nightmare. there is no doubt this has been a very difficult election, and the snp has some serious questions to answer. what are they? i think we need to reflect on the fac

talking about a man called iqbal muhammad, who had previously who has been elected as the new mp for dewsburyy. now, charles, you need to explain the sort of law on this one first, because this man basically is sort of standing on a platform. there's video that the sunday times has obtained of him during the election campaign kind of saying, i'm paraphrasing, but, you know, if you're a good muslim , if you believe in the muslim, if you believe in the prophet muhammad, then it's probably best to for vote me. your reaction to that, first of all, and then an explainer as to why that shouldn't really be happening. >> yeah, i mean, look, i'm no expert in this, but apparently he was saying you've got to follow the teacher's teachings of the prophet, and it could be that he breached electoral law by putting undue spiritual pressure on people. i think it comes back to what we were saying before. politicians sit in a position of responsibility to be very careful on the language they use, and i would make the observation that i think particularly at the moment, we should be focusing much more on what u

the quote of the entire i've got to be quick bill rammell you're the newly elected independent mp for dewsbury weaponise religion, asked worshippers at a mosque to follow the teachings of the prophet to and vote for him. using religion in politics is deplorable. yeah ridiculous. >> jake rachel reeves, she's lying to you. she's still in your winter fuel allowance. it's a three tumbler trick that she's playing on. you do not fall for it . it. >> okay? and, right. some great nominees there . my huge winner nominees there. my huge winner tonight is drumroll , please, tonight is drumroll, please, rachel reeves mp. hey, giving that interview in the financial times weeks before the election. i've said it already tonight. i've said it already tonight. i've said it on friday night, we can't just turn up to government and say there's a big mess because we've seen the obr. we've seen the figures. there's no excuse. rachel did exactly that. you turn up to the treasury and you said, oh no, there's £20 billion missing. what are we going to do? we're going to hike capital gains tax. we're going to rip the as

in perry barr , leicester got mps in perry barr, leicester south blackburn, the new constituency of dewsburyrise there. perhaps because that's if you remember where the teacher is still in hiding. after showing a cartoon of muhammad in a school lesson, and this is really significant because this is the first time that we've seen independents like this running on the same ticket, effectively becoming a party joined together by a particular cause. so let's just throw to that clip of jess phillips talking about what it was like campaigning in her area. >> it was an absolutely horrible campaign, the most aggressive, most intimidatory , not just of most intimidatory, not just of me, but of the people in my constituency, people being intimidated, people being told that god, will judge them if they vote a certain way, which is an electoral offence, and, yeah, it's been pretty awful. some of my activists had their tyres slashed on election day. >> now, jess phillips only just managed to scrape by in that vote. and wes streeting as well, in ilford north, only just scraped by with a number of labour m

workers party candidate, craig murray, still amassed 20% of the vote from third place in places like dewsburydependents have won leicester south, and so it goes on. and these are places where labour never saw the challenge coming. and so it shows that when there's a real grassroots operation and people understand how to operate within the electoral system, the electoral paradigm, we work in that they can cut through and make a difference. look politics, i don't think, is going back into the box that it used to. people are awake. they know they can influence outcomes now. and i think we'll see much more of this. >> yeah. with respect you mentioned there about the labour party funnelling in resources from other parts of the country in order to try to drum up support for their candidate there. and yeah, they i accept that. they almost definitely all will have definitely done that. right. but you look at people like rushanara ali, elected as an mp for bethnal green and stepney. now i was in her seat, and i was looking at the pro—palestine demonstrations and actually a load of those people are bus

and that's batley, when we look to dewsbury and batley, the batley grammar school teacher three yearsing. he still can't work , in hiding. he still can't work, still in fear of his life. a pro gaza independent candidate was elected. iqbal mohammed received more than 40% of the votes. on a pro gaza ticket in batley. i just found that absolutely astonishing. >> well, it's not necessarily because there will be a british muslim communities and british muslim communities and british muslim communities and british muslim communities there who traditionally voted the labour party, and they're they're disillusioned with the labour party's positioning on ongoing developments in the middle east, especially sir keir starmer's lbc interview. as you know, martin, where he he essentially backed, the cutting of water and electricity to gaza's relatively youthful population. i think the issue here is more that we've seen a campaign which has sought to mobilise a specific religious group around the foreign policy issue in the uk general election. foreign policy is a critical responsibility of the uk g
