unveil labour's manifesto. laura, the weird thing about this is, i mean, the manifesto was finalised a few days ago at that clause five meeting they have with the unions and other stakeholders. but actually a lot of it they've been discussing for years. yes, and the important thing to understand is that this is part of keir starmer's very carefully worked outflow chart of sort out win the leadership election, sort out the party, start to make the public arguments, get the public hopefully to trust you, spell out his priorities through the missions for government, start giving more of the detail, then culminate in a manifesto and then hopefully wins the election. right. so we're about whatever is that stage five or six of his very, very, very carefully worked out flow chart that he drew with his close staff really some years ago. and very deliberately, this is not a moment of, "oh, my god, what fireworks.

george robertson, former labour cabinet minister who went on to become the secretary general of nato,s a direct result of eu expansion. >> now let's see what my panel maker, this one, everyone on earth has got an opinion on what nigel farage says on friday night. so to be fair to the bloke, he certainly knows how to get publicity. jj, i'm going to come to you first now. i mean, it's lots of people are very angry about what nigel said . angry about what nigel said. what do you make of it? >> farage has a habit of saying things that are uncomfortable truths. sometimes term's, i think on this occasion i agree with the guy. interestingly do if you go back to the soviet union where they put missiles in cuba, the us saw that as an act of war and demanded they remove those missiles from cuba . now we those missiles from cuba. now we have nato, which analysts have been saying for the last 30 years. analysts have been saying the more nato expands , the worse the more nato expands, the worse it's going to be for our enemies. nato wants to put their own missiles, us missiles, us soldiers along t

now, sources have told the guardian today that labour shadow cabinet ministers are calling for rachelare you one of those people? >> no. labour's been quite clear, and rachel has been very clear, and rachel has been very clear on this, that we have no plans to raise income tax, national insurance or vat. there are certain areas where we have already set out where we want to change the tax rates to support pubuc change the tax rates to support public spending, such as closing the loophole on private schools to support our state school sector, hiring 6500 new teachers and making sure we're getting mental health support , for kids mental health support, for kids in secondary school in particular, we've been very clear about where there will be a tax change, but i'm afraid the, the scare mongering that we're seeing from the government over the last few days is not consistent with what labour policy actually is. >> so you don't you don't want to raise capital gains tax, then ? >> 7- >> no. 7 >> no. rachel reeves will set out all the tax changes if we get elected in the budget. but we've be

george robertson, former labour cabinet minister who went on to become the secretary—general of nato,n the last couple of weeks said the war is a direct result of eu expansion. >> well, let's talk to political commentator john oxley, who's here with us this morning. good to see you, john. can we talk about farage first and foremost? is he just a man proffering a view that some do hold, or is this one of those moments he's going to look back on? and through gritted teeth? it is a view that some people hold, but it is also very much one of the lines that the russians want us to believe. >> and the reality of nato expansion is these countries that joined nato were desperate to do so. and we've seen that recently, again with finland and sweden, because of the fear of russian expansion. so i think it's , you know, it's wrong. and it's, you know, it's wrong. and i think particularly when you look at how popular the, support for ukraine has been in this country , i think it's a very country, i think it's a very foolish thing for nigel farage to be saying, and i think it could become a bit of

shadow cabinet, pure economic vandalism. blocking the building of that data centre because of the view from the m25. he's saying that the labour party would have allowed the construction of that data centre. can we believe them if they are really serious about liberalising planning, then yes, if you get the basics right, if you just allow a lot more economic activity, then you can get away with a lot of bad stuff on the other side. >> ideally you wouldn't do the bad stuff, you would just have good economic policies across the board. but you can compensate for, higher taxes or. yes. so if you look at france, that would be the classic example. france is about in the same league as britain in terms of gdp per capita , they have of gdp per capita, they have much higher taxes, much more restrictive labour laws. but they allow stuff to be built. >> so what we could do is just swap. we could stay about where we are, which is low growth , a we are, which is low growth, a pretty stagnant economy. but the way we get there is with much

, he served injeremy corbyn�*s shadow cabinet, labour has changed since.e mixjeremy corbyn, who was a sceptic about nuclear weapons, sceptic about nato, the defence alliance, and labour were trounced at the last general election. what keir starmer has been trying to do ever since he got the job is to reassure people that a labour government under his leadership could be trusted with national security. there is a kind of bigger strategy here, so what he's trying to do is acknowledge that if you can't be trusted, this is their view at a senior level in the labour party come if you can't be trusted on defence and the economy, you might as well pack your bags and go home because anything else you say, no one is going to pay attention because they are not going to elect you because they don't trust you on the economy. national security and the economy. that is what is the underlying foundational drive behind, as they hoped, nailing trust on defence, because they say they believe and because it underpins alongside the economy of hitting us. so what happened toda

majority is not many seats they themselves can keep a cabinet minister saying openly about the superity for labour and i have to be sure that a strong opposition and so much that they cannot offer opposition. that is very unusual strategic step and during the election campaign, almost saying we know were going to lose. he was really stood out as being, that's not normally what politicians say in a campaign. i that's not normally what politicians say in a campaign-— say in a campaign. i think he is the leader and — say in a campaign. i think he is the leader and does _ say in a campaign. i think he is the leader and does not _ say in a campaign. i think he is the leader and does not want - say in a campaign. i think he is the leader and does not want to - say in a campaign. i think he is the leader and does not want to do - leader and does not want to do that but certainly, some of those people around them talked about that and thatis around them talked about that and that is their best hope now and trying to put some doubt into those people who tried not to vote conservative this tim
