coffey and another was not talked about as much. one of them started off, at least yet saying that i and the leader of that labour party. and we knew what exactly was coming next. you knew it was coming, to see it happen has had an effect and a profound effect on westminster as well. fit that headline, the gang of seven, attempted to about the spirit of the gate of four, nearly a0 years ago now. i am in a nostalgic mood tonight because it was 38 years ago that all of that happened, and jenkins talked about the aeroplane being the start of the runway and when it was going to take off, and it was taking off when he won in glasgow and all of that. yes, as

jessica already said, this was expected at some point, i thought they did rather well to keep it under wraps that it was actually going to be today. but my concern from their point of view was that the big difference seems to me that the big difference seems to me that the planninguk i went into that the patch at the gang of a38 years ago was considerable. i rememberthe press conference , was considerable. i rememberthe press conference, the national press conference, then the regional press conferences, and then most importantly, the reaction of the media was actually rather positive at the time. perhaps because it was at the time. perhaps because it was a news story, it was an exciting new story. certainly are today. i am interested to see the reaction in the coming days to do let's on to look at the daily mail, the man at the centre of a lot of the criticism here, jeremy corbyn. it is not a photograph of him today. this was on
10:47 pm
sunday on his day off when a p pa re ntly sunday on his day off when apparently he was heading home from his allotment. yes, i think it is a little bit unfair because it kind of makes it look like this with him today. the point that people might ta ke today. the point that people might take from it is that he was not there at the last 11 hours trying to talk in peace down. he is relatively relaxed about these mps going. they do not have a new party need, they do not have a new party need, they do not have an organisational structure behind them yet, although it is very clear that they is what they are heading for. they are relatively relaxed about it. we will see how relaxed they are if more mps, if there is a organisejump jump mps, if there is a organisejump jump of more resignations. the mps who we spoke to today perceive that very heart they were expecting that to happen. everyone is expecting
10:48 pm
more to come. at that does not materialise, that will be interesting. they are describing this as the biggest player in years. you make the aeroplane analogy, u nfortu nately you make the aeroplane analogy, unfortunately that aeroplane came in the airand plummeted. unfortunately that aeroplane came in the air and plummeted. to be fair, maybe jusco will confirm this, we are obsessed but in this country, people talk about setting up a new party, the word sdp comes up again and again. it did not break or change the face. in the tony blair's election possible? that is a good argument. 1981, the water, which brought the country and brought a very unpopular prime minister in 1980 1980 very unpopular prime minister in 19801980 monday, margaret thatcher, huge popularity and brought the country together. everyone's view of
10:49 pm
how the world is developing, i did not see a war coming two we are in a politically volatile situation. there is a huge schism that could form at the tory party, particularly with to reach ma she uses the idea ofa with to reach ma she uses the idea of a customs union at the labour.|j knew it would not be long before we talked about brexit. that could be a split that happens in the tory party. i think that in no way makes it quite the child grants a start. by it quite the child grants a start. by two they were talking about realignments —— by two they were talking about realignments -- we have a system thatis realignments -- we have a system that is not very friendly to new parties. it is. i am likely that is not very friendly to new parties. it is. iam likely enough to be on the council of the university of birmingham. i sat with some quite senior political figures. only a few years ago, they said it was rubbish boy breakaways from
10:50 pm
parties. now, it is happening. it has always been that the labour party had economic base, discuss negative party had economic base. —— the conservative party had economic base. if they do party would not have an economic base. my thought was that the 19205, there was a conservative party, labour party, liberty party, and yes, this time there is a green party. the 5tructure there is a green party. the structure is the same as it was in the 19205. life has changed, ha5 structure is the same as it was in the 19205. life has changed, has it not? yet to look at them much more recent history. there was a party that one national election, they wa nt that one national election, they want the national european election. they got something of a million votes. i think that they change one of the big party's forces. and they ended up but the one mp at the back
10:51 pm
election. that shows how hard it is. ican election. that shows how hard it is. i can say that they may have lost the battle but when the war.|j i can say that they may have lost the battle but when the war. i think one that thinks that labour mps may say is that in a way, they are very sympathetic to a lot of but these mps are doing. we will see how this will be. when i move away from the story, i first want to talk about that too conservative mps that they are thinking seriously about leaving the party to sit with the new group. they individually suggested that there is a small number of their collea g u es there is a small number of their colleagues having similar conversations with some potentially making a decision this week. they are seeing the situation is fluid and final decisions have not been reached. they think that none of these mps are being identified, they are speaking off the record. let's move to the financial times. it is
10:52 pm
obviously an important part of that community, the car sector. you paid your money —— community, the car sector. you paid your money -- you paid your money and you made your choice. a5 international trend5 and you made your choice. a5 international trends that is doing 5uch international trends that is doing such damage and producing so much bad news from the car industry doe5n't bad news from the car industry doesn't have something to do with out doesn't have something to do with our great friend brexit? not everybody's friend, but that is how you can see it. the fte reflect5 thi5 you can see it. the fte reflect5 this question very well and the differing view5. this question very well and the differing views. my own view is that thi5 differing views. my own view is that this story is going to be confirmed tomorrow as we understand it from swindon. no newjob5 be created and swindon, they will be made injapan in5tead. all the threats to the jobs
10:53 pm
from a jacket to a land rover, and there is a new trade bill coming up but the eu and japan, which is the rationale, which is delivered for the end of the swindon. it effectively means that by the new trade bill, you'll be able to sell the costs of the european union without paying any tariffs. so there is no reason set produce. a lot of the companies, and the insurgency around brexit, and it did not help. it is very good to be clear that there is a huge problem facing the car industry and the evolution of the constant models that they are producing. certainly all of the companies have cited brexit as one of the reasons, and that extends to lots of other companies recently making announcements, for example,
10:54 pm
those who said that brexit is one of the reasons why they work going. he reported that the prime minister needs to say that she needs to in this. and they say if she does not ta ke this. and they say if she does not take the no deal at the table, we will see more at these announcements. that is a big intention. that been pretty open, haven't they? they think this whole question of brexit insurgency had not helped, and i suppose in practical terms, david, this is a story that will be on the front of metro, 300,000 jobs to go. —— 3000 jobs to go. when you talk —— metro, 300,000 jobs to go. —— 3000 jobs to go. when you talk -- when you see this amount ofjob5, i can 5ee you see this amount ofjob5, i can see a lot at this number doubling,
10:55 pm
and that is fine and maybe 2020 mind, it is will be phased out. it i5 mind, it is will be phased out. it is as frightening think for someone like swindon. bike5 make an important part of that can't be that it has been for 30 years. —— important part of that can't be that it has been for 30 years. -- let's go back to the telegraph. he spotted the story. this is something that is slightly different that parents who love to educate their children about their musical taste should bombard them with their favourite whatever it is, i am thinking thanks randomly, and between the ages of eight and ten, which is when they are old enough to appreciate music and understand the lyrics and that sort of thing. but they are not old enough to be crucially embarrassed by mum and dads musical taste. so they will sit back and absorb it. i remember being plate signs at that
10:56 pm
