a new leader to replace jeremy corbyn. suppose, one is that they have to i'm joined by our assistant deliver it now, it is showtime, they political editor, norman smith. have to deliver on a brexit. we note starting political editor, norman smith. from the top, toda the brexit bill is almost certain to help this key vote on friday, so minor starting from the top, today, a minor reshuffle, is that a tricky moving ahead with speed on brexit. thing? not really, no, it is employed to replace nicky morgan who similarly, delivering on the pledge to put extra cash in the nhs, the was cocteau secretary. i guess that queen's speech on friday will include a bill enshrining in law that extra money for the nhs. the the thing about the new culture secretary if you get someone who is second part of his speech will be, it is all change, this is a very not a friend of ntb, then that what different sort of conservative party. i think the message you want is your that really wants to shake to get across is that it is not something up. if you have someone business as usual, it is not carry that has a track record of wanting to get rid of the licence fee, then on cameron, try again to reason, this is a different sort of tory i suspect the management here at the party because the complexion is management here at the bbc will be different. the focus is different, this will not be a tory party good ina management here at the bbc will be in a state of panic. it will mostly not be about the reshuffle, it will towards the interest of the more affluent middle class people in the be about messages. we now body johnson will address his new mps, south, it will focus and try to address some of the concerns of the message will basically be, we those committees who feel left

will do things differently. it is behind, many of whom voted for not business as usual. it has an brexit. that is much harder to do entirely new sort of tory party, in than to say. you are probably talking about decades of neglect, so part, because they just entirely new sort of tory party, in part, because theyjust have sue mary on tory tory mps. mps turning that around is going to take a lot of money and a lot of time. representing more than, working class communities that they have the question is whether boris never had before, that changes the johnson can give himself the complexion because of the party at breathing space to introduce those sorts of changes before people start westminster. my instinct too, i getting frightful and sane, nothing think mr dyson sees himself as leading a very different sort of is actually happening. yes, you talk conservative party, where there will about levelling up, that is all very be much greater attempt to try and well, but levelling up meaningfully address the concerns of commenters who feel left behind, those who when the country is so divided as voted brexit i feel that they have ours, that is a considerable had a raw deal, attention has been challenge? the other thing is that lavished on the south and they have there is no excuses now. previously, been ignored. that will be the big picture message. the difficulty with borisjohnson could say there is no excuses now. previously, boris johnson could say that the parliament wouldn't let him do anything, the opposition that was that, for all the talk of the blue frustrating him. now, there is a tsunami and the momentum behind broken opposition, is a significant tory majority— he can do what he them, the blue wall, all of the wa nts to tory majority— he can do what he wants to stop all those things that language, the fact is, to deliver have been pushed into the two meaningful change for those

difficulty are now possible. looking communities is actually hard. at social care, let's be honest, it meaningful change for those communities is actually hardm meaningful change for those communities is actually hard. it is ha rd communities is actually hard. it is hard because you are probably has been avoided by successive talking about decades of neglect and governments and everybody knows it, underinvestment. anybody who has everybody knows that something must be done about it really, there is travelled on the trains in the north of england but now that they are an now no excuse for borisjohnson to at our shambolic mess. you are do something about it. in that talking about putting serious money sense, there is no hiding place for borisjohnson, he in the, major investment over the sense, there is no hiding place for boris johnson, he cannot sense, there is no hiding place for borisjohnson, he cannot say, i would have liked to have done this long term, you cannot build railways but unfortunately... he has got ina yearortwo, long term, you cannot build railways charge, he can do whatever he wants in a year or two, it is a long—term project. boris johnson to do, which means i think there in a year or two, it is a long—term project. borisjohnson has to get the leeway from voters up now to will be an expedition that things trussed up like it is going to will be an expedition that things will happen, not just happen, even if it doesn't happen will be an expedition that things will happen, notjust a rather dry nonevent government. i think there automatically. —— to trust him. i will be huge pressure for big bold guess a lot of that will come down brush strokes. meanwhile, her to his rhetoric, his language, majesty is producing are somewhat distracted, to put it politely? did justly says that he is listening. i will expect to see much more of it gets worse frankly. i think it is borisjohnson in a lane off, we already seen him in a sedgefield a the sort of post—traumatic shock they are suffering from the up you day after the election. i will expect to see many more of those get a sense of how deep the scars events focus in the north, saying to are that the election defeat people, we get it, we are listening. inflicted on them this morning, when in terms of delivering, that is no emily thornberry revealed she was actually to take legal action

quick fix, the business of against caroline flint, after government are wiser and at our shambolic mess. you are talking caroline flint suggested that emily about putting serious money in the, major investment over the long term, thornberry had told someone that she you cannot build railways in a year what people who had voted for brexit oi’ you cannot build railways in a year or two, it is a long—term project. borisjohnson has to get the leeway we re what people who had voted for brexit were stupid. we have only denied by from voters up now to trussed up like it is going to happen, even if emily thornberry, nevertheless, she it doesn't happen automatically. —— has decided the only way she can get to trust him. i guess a lot of that will come down to his rhetoric, his redress is to go to the courts. language, justly says that he is caroline flint was told listening. i will expect to see much by somebody else that i had more of boris johnson spoken to somebody else. listening. i will expect to see much more of borisjohnson in a lane off, that person, unknown. we already seen him in a sedgefield and when, unknown. a day after the election. i will and where, unknown. and she still won't, you know, tell us. expect to see many more of those that people were supposed events focus in the north, saying to to be "stupid. " i would never even think people, we get it, we are listening. in terms of delivering, there is no that, let alone say it, quick fix, the business of government requires remorseless it's a complete lie! attention it is early to talk about weeks and months. to sustain over so, i've said to caroline, "come on, yea rs, weeks and months. to sustain over years, physically, that is very caroline, this isn't true, hard. the opposition, a huge majority for the conservative government, the opposition have "you know, withdraw it, their own challenges to face? and i'll give you until the end of the day." and she refuses to, so i have to go challenges is probably an understatement. i think there is a cce pta nce understatement. i think there is acceptance on the labour side that through all the hassle they are really facing a moment of of instructing solicitors, truth, what are they for, what is and that's what we're doing — we are having to take legal action. the point in them, can they ever be a government again? we are not none of that is going to help their talking about nips and tucks to fine tune a basically 0k party, it is the campaignfor none of that is going to help their campaign for leadership and reflection and all the rest of it. big question is, what is labour going back today for the newly

force ? big question is, what is labour force? i don't think anyone at the elected government, borisjohnson moment has a coherent answer. two has a elected government, borisjohnson hasa mini elected government, borisjohnson has a mini reshuffle, can he use camps have emerged, one is basically that to send any messages about the that the policy of what is right, a levelling up agenda ? that to send any messages about the radical left—wing agenda is right, levelling up agenda? not so much of that, i think there will certainly bea that, i think there will certainly be a moment when we learn something thatis radical left—wing agenda is right, that is no desire to go back to about the boris johnson blairism. they come to plagiarism. the counter view is that as part of administration, he has two the problem, they lost notjust appointments to make, welsh secretary and culture secretary. because of brexit and jeremy corbyn, but we are because of the agenda what is interesting about the culture secretary appointment is presented to a country which has that we will get an indication of never really been at left wing, whether boris johnson that we will get an indication of whether borisjohnson really does wa nt to frankly. i don't think that argument whether borisjohnson really does want to go to town with the bbc and will be resolved easily because rub things up a bit and change the there are such profound differences was up we got an indication from way things operate. i think we'll get a sense of that from hugh he emily thornberry, she emerged from brings in, whether that patient really has an appetite to look again her house... let's have a look. at how the bbc is funded. maybe that caroline flint was told will give us a chance ofjust how by somebody else that i had spoken to somebody else. radical borisjohnson's that person, unknown. and when, unknown. will give us a chance ofjust how radical boris johnson's government will really be, or whether it is and where, unknown. and she still won't, more talk than action. i think that you know, tell us. that people were supposed will be a significant moment, that will be a significant moment, that to be "stupid. " will give us a clue. you keep an eye i would never even think that, let alone say it, on that for us! as westminster welcomes some 140

it's a complete lie! new members of parliament today many so, i've said to caroline, "come on, shared their thoughts on social caroline, this isn't true, media on theirjourneys from across the country. "you know, withdraw it, and i'll give you until the end of the day." conservative selaine saxby said and she refuses to, so i have to go it was an early start for her as she set out through all the hassle from her north devon constituency. of instructing solicitors, and that's all we're doing — gagan mohindra, who we are having to take legal action. took the south—west hertfordshire seat from tory defector, david gauke, said today felt a bit like the first there were fears of civil war in the labour party, that doesn't sound day at a new school. very friendly, does it? the idea of one a senior labour figure taking and the new tory member for stoke—on—trent north legal action against another, it is tweeted a picture of some of his new colleagues beginning their induction training in westminster, extraordinary. i think it suggests saying the news still how deep personal and political hadn't sunk in yet. divisions, even geographical, that isa divisions, even geographical, that is a mood among a large section of let's go to another dimension of the plp lacks the problem is this pact including political story. northern ireland's political parties basically smart, metropolitan london are to resume talks aimed at restoring devolved government at stormont. the general election saw a fall focus labour politicians who think in vote share for both they know best. whoever takes over the dup and sinn fein, with the dup losing its deputy will have to be a phenomenal figure

leader, nigel dodds. if they are to bring the party and for the first time, unionist parties being overtaken together, if they are to chart a by nationalist parties in the number clear course back to being a of westminster seats. potential party of government. but also to have their sheer courage to let's talk to our ireland correspondent, chris page, who is at stormont for us. do it, i was reminded when neil kinnock that this in the wake of 1983, he was phenomenally brave, he chris, these talks have begun? had real courage to take on the left in his party. you are looking for reporter: that's right, the parties someone who is pretty unique. people are holding meetings with the northern ireland secretary, gillian can grow into thejob, you can smith, the nationals sdlp have been develop, but wow, it must be the m, smith, the nationals sdlp have been in, the ulster units party, the smaller of the teacher is party, in ha rd est develop, but wow, it must be the hardestjob in politics, really. that at the moment. this process, norman, thank you very much. this new negotiating round end out restoring the devolved institutions which should be based here at so much to talk about, one of the things that we must not neglect as stormont is under way. it is meant to bea stormont is under way. it is meant to be a long and difficult process, events in northern ireland. there as is always the case here, but are talks on their way to die in a there is a mood of optimism compared hope of getting the power—sharing at with previous rounds of stormont back under way. negotiations. i think it is fair to say about this time, there could be some kind of breakthrough, it has been nearly three years since

northern ireland ? been nearly three years since northern ireland? devolved assembly was sitting and that building behind let's talk to our ireland me and ministers in the correspondent, chris page, who is at stormont for us. power—sharing executive were in office. several rounds of negotiations haven't worked out. nine the main parties... this time, the two biggest democratic party, the dup and sinn stormont back up and running, there fein, both actually lost significant have been no politicians, no number of doubts in the general election, they both drop several ministers in office for almost three specific points in their share of yea rs now the bout. that is being read by ministers in office for almost three years now since the coalition collapse. there have been several rounds of talks over those four comic as a message from the electorate that patience is really yea rs, rounds of talks over those four years, but none have produced a running out of the political stalemate here at stormont, it is having an impact on public health breakthrough. however, there are some sense at this time the dynamics issues, health workers have been demonstrating here in the last hour may be slightly different. the parties have acknowledged that orso, demonstrating here in the last hour or so, which list have been growing, during the election campaign, they we re during the election campaign, they were taking a lot of heat on the currently the longest in the uk. —— doorstep, voters not at all happy waiting list. the impact of all this that public services are really deteriorating because there are no ministers in place to make is really being felt across northern decisions. particularly, the health ireland. the thinking is, that on service is coming under a lot of scrutiny, new figures on that line the doorsteps, politicians were getting heat from the photos on that that northern ireland has the longest hospital waiting times in issue. the two biggest parties did

the uk. health workers taking industrial action over pay, meaning ta ke issue. the two biggest parties did take a hit in terms of the number of hundreds of outpatient appointment have been cancelled over the past votes cast. it is hoped that will couple of weeks. that has been a particular issue that has generated concentrate minds, party set on a saying that they are serious about a lot of concern among the public, striking a deal, differences clearly remain. there is a legal deadline of the thinking is that putting more parties to do a deal, looking at the sorts for the 13th of january for a new power—sharing executive to be general election result, they have the dup and sinn fein are still the put in place. julian smith he is minute line to call another set of elections, this time, to the biggest parties in northern ireland, but they did lose a fairly stormont assembly. significant share of the most about let's have a look at what's the standard. sinn fein maintained happening in wales now, where, of course, the conservatives seven mps, but their share of the gained six seats from labour in thursday's election — vote to drop. while the dup lost two five of them in north wales. some of the analysis following these of their ten mps. not a great losses has centred around whether labour has now become election for two of the main party. a south wales party and what's fuelled the switch to the tories. the thinking is that perhaps those election statistics would reflect let's talk to our wales correspondent, tomos morgan, who's in cardiff for us. some kind of tipping point, but people are losing patience with the political deadlock here, that will what is your analysis of that? concentrate minds in these talks. that is a legal deadline of sorts reporter: from what yourjuicy dear, set for the 13th of january. the i was out north—east well as a juror northern ireland secretary, gillian

smith, has indicated that if there in this election campaign. is no—deal by that stage, he would north—east wales was an error that be minded to call another election, voted a leave in 2016, it is a this time, to the stormont assembly. labour heartland. in some ways, it doesn't matter what we saw in the this back to westminster. north of england, they have been at labour areas for years. but people in that electorate were not convinced that labour was the right party for them and that another referendum was the right choice, they just wanted brexit. referendum was the right choice, theyjust wanted brexit. with the other argument in the north—east of as westminster welcomes some wales was actuallyjeremy corbyn was 140 new members of parliament today many shared their thoughts on social a factorfor them. they media on theirjourneys from across the country.

soon, which will set up what the prime minister's wider plan is, that is what i think a lot of the lots more coming up on the news interest and as parliament will be, how much of that agenda of pouring channel. money into the north and midlands, but now we say goodbye and trying to soup scotland and to viewers on bbc two. the headlines on bbc news: northern ireland are very much in more than a hundred new conservative the union, how much of that will be mps will arrive in westminster today seenin the union, how much of that will be as borisjohson begins working towards delivering seen in the ground? that is what we on his election promises. are looking for. what about labour, we have heard jennie formby, a jennie formby, labour's general secretary, has laid out plans moment ago, we played a clip of to begin the timetable for a leadership 0ur election on january 7. emily thornberry— things are really heating up for the opposition? they water bills will come down in april have to pick a leader. at the 2020 after the regulator set out new pricing rules. moment, all you hear is the sound and theory of labour tearing itself apart as the different factions blame each other for the loss and try to work out who will represent the future. even when the government sport now — here's jane dougal. has a big majority, the opposition still has a role, it still has to challenge things might scrutinise committees, as all kinds of the draw for the last 16

questions. the problem for labour of the champions league seems to be, what exactly is it is underway in switzerland. going to say on brexit, the union, some of the controversial things where it either doesn't have a it have time for manchester city, they had their own real madrid. the policy, has a split policy, or the conservatives have taken what they wa nt to conservatives have taken what they want to say on public spending. conservatives have taken what they want to say on public spendinglj suppose that job want to say on public spendinglj suppose thatjob still want to say on public spendinglj suppose that job still wrestled want to say on public spendinglj suppose thatjob still wrestled with current holders, liverpool, have jeremy corbyn? for the moment, yes, been drawn against atletico madrid, but a lot of his colleagues are not they will be away with the return at pleased about that. do you think the one is not pleased about it, anfield. chelsea faced by the minute, the side of the bid to advancing a leadership result before the end of march, which is their league in 2012. —— bayern munich. current estimated date? the end of march, which is their current estimated date ?|j totte n ha m the end of march, which is their current estimated date? i think it league in 2012. —— bayern munich. tottenham will play rb leipsic, who is difficult. he said that he wants to stay while in the process goes on are currently top of the bundesliga. and the labour party is big on his process and actually quite how to short—circuit that. unless jeremy corbyn actually agrees that he mikel arteta was on the a bench as doesn't want to go through this onslaught which he is going to get manchester city beat arsenal ina onslaught which he is going to get in a parliament, much as from the prime minister but from some of his yesterday. but is he a contender for own colleagues, we may well be the manager role at arsenal? she is seeing the face ofjeremy corbyn at

will impact on government, having us to get brexit done, but also because jeremy corbyn was such a strong northern contingent? us to get brexit done, but also becausejeremy corbyn was toxic, forgive me, but he was, and what we it is inevitable, if you have more have to do is prove to those voters who may be voted for us for the conservative mps representing areas in the north and the midlands that first time, that we can improve the they are going to be taking down quality of life as well. let's take their concerns to westminster and putting pressure on the party to a look at some of these new mps respond to them. i think there is an leaving darlington. excuse me, this electoral imperative on boris johnson to follow through on some of the stuff he's been talking about morning. hannah davidson there, you for the north and midlands. it was can see they are all wearing blue not my impression during the selection, that people had voted for scarves. i met hannah, iwent borisjohnson selection, that people had voted for boris johnson with any can see they are all wearing blue scarves. i met hannah, i went to bishop auckland that helped her selection, that people had voted for borisjohnson with any overwhelming sense of enthusiasm. many of them felt the choice they had been given campaign. this will be a scene that was not a particularly great one, so brings a gladness to your heart. we there's a danger at the next election, that those votes switch spoke about their possible agenda back again to labour, if people and how that might change things in don't feel that their lives have westminster. but what about the been tangibly improved by this new constitutional issues because matter conservative government. so, i get because there has been a lot of the sense that that's something for anxiety about a burger in the rac. the scots did not lend borisjohnson the sense that that's something for their votes. —— anxiety about a the new government, that it does

understand but that will be reinforced by having mps border in the irish sea. and the snp has a big agenda around indyref2. is representing places like leigh and hayward going down and impressing that on them. the prime minister has there a european deal which makes there a european deal which makes the other nations of the union feel more comfortable about staying? we an 80 mp majority. the onus is on need a deal that benefits the him now to do something meaningful with it. from the conversations you've been having on the ground in awesome foursome. it cannotjust be for england, scotland, wales and the north—west, what do you think northern ireland, it must benefit people would want to see most all four and the conservative party concretely and urgently? during the sees that. if there are customs election, many of the big issues that got repeated back to us were checks on goods from northern things that labour should have been ireland, i don't believe that puts at risk the unions. northern ireland winning on. stuff like public is an integral part of the united services, the state of the nhs, kingdom. margaret thatcher said that transport is absolutely dire, but it is as british as finchley and it that's something that probably you will not completely sort out in the is as british as 0xbridge. with space of one parliament, so there regard to scotland it is true that we have a battle with the snp. the are certainly things are on public transport that the government could get on adequately. local bus other referendum we were told that the outcome would be good for a services for example. a lot of generation. the people of scotland

voted overwhelmingly to remain any united kingdom. mark francois, will people have frustration with the state of their area and community have to leave it there. linked to local government cuts. if you look at some of the seats in new congratulations and good luck to all tory mps represent, middleton and the new mps and to you. i hope you have a good day in westminster. rochdale local authority area, and thank you forjoining us. let's talk rochdale local authority area, and rochdale is one of the councils that has been hardest hit by local further about northern ireland. we government cuts. and what you have seen off the back of that is not are joined further about northern ireland. we arejoined by a professor of politics at the university of only the state of people'scommunities decline, you've seen increases in homelessness, liverpool. i don't know if you could which is very much tighter local government cuts and you've seen the hear mark francois's analysis of the impact on the nhs, because of the problems in the social care system, britishness of northern ireland, back to some extent, that agenda so this will be things you will have being dealt with all focused on to address pretty sharpish, social instrument, as the power—sharing ca re to address pretty sharpish, social care in particular. that is not parties try to put their something that is unique to the power—sharing back together. north. that's a national structural considerable pressure on the parties problem. but i do think that, to to get back into stone they had a come back to transport again, i three year hiatus and the public in think that is going to have to move northern ireland are sick and tired, on quite quickly because we have even though they want devolution, of spent decades being underfunded on transport, and people have felt the members of the northern ireland

pain of that. jennifer, thank you assembly, all 90 of them, none of them have lost a full day's pay very much for your insight, from despite not turning up for work sa lfo rd. i'm joined by katy balls, during those three years. the 80 deputy political editor of the spectator and nicola bartlett, political seat boris johnson during those three years. the 80 seat borisjohnson majority changes correspondent for the mirror. the context in northern ireland. the thanks to both of you. nicola, you dup return with eight mps, seven can you start us off, what's the sinn fein mps will not take their most meaningful, significant thing seats anyway so the dup will not let about today for you ? any £1 billion side deals and the duration of this parliament. the most meaningful, significant thing about today for you? it is day one, only power base for the dup or sinn it is still devastating for the labour party. i bumped into two new fein are indeed the other two labour party. i bumped into two new labour mps who say that they are parties coming to westminster, the delighted for themselves but they can't really celebrate because of the situation. and i think that alliance, and the sdlp, the only power base of significance will be cataclysmic result for the party is slow month. so there is a great deal really going to send shock waves of pressure on the parties to get a through all levels of it. they are deal back home and return to going to have to try to come to stormont early in the new year. terms with that as a party. they deal back home and return to stormont early in the new yeahm is interesting how you put that. have got the parliamentary labour party meeting tonight. and it is they are stuck between a rock and a going to be, i think, a pretty difficult meeting. we will come back ha rd they are stuck between a rock and a hard place these leaders because they haven't got the attention of westminster, because why should to that in a minute. katie, i don't they? they have got quite a

know how much time you had to check frustrated and alienated electorate out there, as described by you, you out the mood among the arriving blue wa nt to army, but they are going to out out there, as described by you, you want to see nhs improvements and improvements and other services. the shout this rather diminish labour opposition. this is a very happy conservative party. they suffered 18 northern ireland mps, whether some losses in scotland but overall, they are bullish stock is a they be participating or abstention is like sinn fein, will not have different tory party. as jennifer much influence in this parliament so touchstone, you are looking at lots logically they should return to of new mps touchstone, you are looking at lots of new mp5 from the north and their devolved local power base that midlands, some from wales, and i is the northern ireland assembly, think this is changing how the tory which could gain significant extra party is away from perhaps what powers as a consequence of brexit. so there's a certain logic to that. people would expect stereotypically. this is going to be a tory party not that any parties favour the thatis this is going to be a tory party that is more comfortable than spending money and borrowing than posters version of brexit. they are perhaps it was several years ago under david cameron when he just all opposed bitterly for different ke pt under david cameron when he just kept hearing about a long—term economic plan. today, and in the reasons. but there are stumbling blocks to the restoration of coming days, today we are not expecting anything in the chamber, power—sharing, notably sinn fein's once we get into that this week, insistence on a standard and they will be very loud, noisy, language act if power—sharing is to positive and really wanting to hammer this point home that, in be restored. the dup argues that borisjohnson's mind this is the new that makes northern ireland less

british and the dup found that ce ntre borisjohnson's mind this is the new centre that the tory party is impossible to sell internally next offering. it has mps centre that the tory party is offering. it has mp5 from all across year so whether in this change the uk, and you have seen in every speech and comment our government context, they have no more west minister has given since winning that majority of 80, so from the movies, can they sell internally? there are other issues such as tory party today, there is clearly ha rd tory party today, there is clearly hard work to do, but ultimately the conflict legacy issues that still need addressing. some of the other general mood is one of a lot of issues such as same—sex marriage and celebration. are they all went big abortion have been legislated for in recent months by westminster anyway happy family? we have spoken about faxes in the labour party. but we so the last big boulder on the road had talked about faxes in the tory is the irish language act, then party. all of these new tory mps perhaps the show can get back on the road. jonathan, thank you for your from the north, the north—east and the midlands, they come from a different kind of community. is analysis of events in northern there any sense of an ideological ireland. absolutely fascinating. incoherence among this family? any right now, we've got to catch up family of this size will clearly with the business news. have the vision. where they can agree is every single mp has had to sign up to borisjohnson's brexit now the business news. deal. that first stage is fairly harmonious. as you get into the waterfirms in england and wales are facing the toughest trade section, the second stage of profit crackdown in 30 years. talks, you might see a few cracks. the regulator wants them to cut

borisjohnson could the average bill by £50 by 2025. talks, you might see a few cracks. boris johnson could end talks, you might see a few cracks. borisjohnson could end up doing in a more protectionist route than some 0fwat is also forcing firms in his party, the low tax, singapore to invest millions of pounds to improve their performance. on the thames segment, will be comfortable with, because they want this is all part of a plan to keep hold of these labour seats, by the regulator to transform and there will be a big push to do the water industry. that, but overall, a lot of sports direct has reported a rise conservative mps are just happy to in half—year profits. be back in government for a fourth its boss, mike ashley, said he had seen green shoots term, which has been a very big of recovery at house of fraser achievement, and with a majority of but still plans to close some stores in 2020. 80. so you can't afford on a sports direct bought the department store chain last year personal level to throw the toys out out of administration. of the pram too much, or you will since then seven house of fraser never be promoted again for many years to come. coming back to the stores have closed down. labour ones, they don't want to make according to reports in us press, ita plane manufacturer boeing labour ones, they don't want to make it a fifth term, do they? and i is considering reducing suppose the challenge now is to or suspending production choose a leader and get behind the of its grounded 737 max. last week the federal aviation administration said it would not leader, be one big happy family and yet we have got lawsuits flying around allegedly this morning. a lot approve the plane's return to service before 2020. after two crashes — one in ethiopia of people in the party are very conscious of that dilemma. the thing and another in indonesia — aviation authorities grounded the 737 max that always gets bandied around as and boeing halted delivery. the time that it took to choose a

leader, after gordon brown went, and it took something like three months and during that time, the conservatives set the agenda. that's manufacturing will want the new a particular concern right now because as katie says, he's got this government to help them prosper. really confident tory party. boris many have pointed to uncertainty surrounding brexit is the reason for the low and activity in the sector. johnson has basically achieved what previous leaders can only dream of. going into labour heartlands. the recently many companies have point as well is that, if he can attempted to slash costs. stephen phipson is keep those mps, then that really the chief executive of the manufacturing trade body, make uk. changes the landscape, long term. he what do you want to hear from the was very conscious, i think of that, government? it is good to see we got when he gave a speech in downing street talking about people going to a majority government. we've had three years of lots of uncertainty the ballot box with the voices of inside parliament, not being able to their parents and grandparents in their parents and grandparents in get things moving. so there are a their ears. i think that means that he knows that he has to listen to couple of key issues. one is brexit, those people. if he can do that, he will return to that in a minute, but can change the situation for ever. there are other things around skills and industrial strategy that with a which is why labour know they can't afford to hang around, to have some majority government we can have a chance to progress and get some more deep soul—searching, more certainty back into the sector. this conversations amongst themselves. a morning we've had some disappointing

period of reflection and the labour numbers from the purchasing happy -- managers' index. why are they so period of reflection and the labour happy —— a period of weak? you got a combination of period of reflection and the labour happy -— a period of reflection. period of reflection and the labour happy —— a period of reflection. and a lot of people are very conscious, factors. when is a global slowdown. we are the largest exporting sector. not least the unions. there is no reason for the unions to want a if you look at exports from the uk, labour party in opposition and i think they will step in and make 45% are products manufactured by uk sure something happens. before we manufacturers. you are exposed a little bit to global trends in terms of what is happening. half of those change the topic altogether, there will be a change of atmosphere and exports go to the eu. 0ur european customers have been a little relu cta nt to customers have been a little westminster. with all of the warring reluctant to place contract and factions and tribes who are so further business with uk manufacturers until the brexit issue narrowly divided, and now you've got is resolved. what we are seeing now this, is boris johnson is resolved. what we are seeing now is one step further towards getting narrowly divided, and now you've got this, is borisjohnson would call it, a stonking mandate, a stonking that clarity into where we are going into the future. we know the majority, which means the activity of parliament is going to change. looking ahead to this queen speech, government would like to start negotiating a new trade deal with the eu next year. you are one of the ultimately last time there was a queen speech by a government led by biggest exporters. what do you want borisjohnson the main from a trade deal? a couple of queen speech by a government led by boris johnson the main topic was whether there was any chance of passing any part of the legislative interesting points with what happened with the election. with the agenda. now when there is a vote, it will not be staying late, making new constituencies coming into the

phone calls to see if this is going conservatives from the northern part to pass. barring a very unexpected of the country, three quarters of those have got a substantial event every piece of legislation manufacturing content. in fact, some should pass with the majority of this size so it will be how labour of them are very high. if you look at sedgefield or barrow in furness, respond to the defeat but for the we are looking at three times the national average. those mps will be tory party, what direction they are taking, and! tory party, what direction they are taking, and i think one of the big themes of this parliament, of this very motivated to make sure there is government is going to be how they plan to change how whitehall works manufacturing businesses in their and it will be long—term things like constituencies thrive through the brexit deal. so what we de —— what that rather than the day to day, which is what you end up with, we need in the brexit deal given inevitably, in a hung parliament. that we have so much business tight to europe at the moment is as close thank you both forjoining me. so as alignment as we can get, or much to look at over the coming regulation, so that we can make sure hours and days. right now we're we don't duplicate that, we don't going to go tojoanna. wa nt we don't duplicate that, we don't want customs at the border if we can avoid it ought to keep it as light—touch as possible. and we will have a new impetus in the in a moment we'll have conservative government about all the business news, achieving those objectives. and on but first the headlines on bbc news. the other side, you wants the same thing stop so with a view to getting more than 100 new conservative mps will arrive in westminster this done quickly, we need to see a today as boris johson begins working towards comprehensive trade deal that gives delivering on his election promises. jennie formby, labour's general secretary, us frictionless borders and as much has laid out plans to begin

the timetable regulatory alignment as we can for a leadership possibly get. that will give us election on january 7th. doctors urge parents to vaccinate their children, who are super—spreaders offlu, customers certainty to keep placing orders with manufacturers here in the uk. thanks forjoining us. as they warn of an increase in other business stories we've been following, the office for budget in patients using nhs services. responsibility has said that government borrowing has increased by around £20 billion a year, after it updated its march forecasts and now the business news. to include changes to the way water firms in england spending is calculated. and wales will have to cut the bulk of the addition the average bill by £50 by 2025, to the forecast was down to the way under plans published student loans are now treated — they make up by the industry regulator. over £12 billion of that figure. activity among uk businesses has declined they are facing the toughest profit at the fastest pace since crackdown in 30 years. july 2016 this month. 0fwat is also forcing firms that's according to the latest to invest millions of pounds to improve their performance. uk purchasing managers' index. this is all part of a plan the preliminary estimate by the regulator fell to 48.5 this month. to transform the water industry. a figure below 50 implies contraction. the survey found that both the services and manufacturing sectors experienced a contraction. sports direct has reported a rise in half year profits. its boss, mike ashley, hallmark is writing its own "i'm sorry" card today. said he had seen green shoots the greeting card company of recovery at house of fraser but still plans to close apologised for its decision to withdraw television adverts some stores in 2020. sports direct bought the department featuring same—sex couples. store chain last year the company's cable network

direction he chooses. and as we have profit since privatisation in the heard, there are now conservative water industry, why was it necessary? this is a good news mps with no manufacturing businesses package. £13 billion of investment, in their constituency. it is absolutely necessary to get resilient services for the future. the greenest control ever. improve interesting, because business was really pretty quiet throughout the the environment. improved services election campaign. in the run—up to for customers, desperately needed, it they were concerned to make sure that we did not leave with no deal, as well as lower bills. we have seen so that they did not talk about the shape of the future deal, so this is improvements over the last few years from the water companies. whether the opening salvo, in the war to make sure that we stay close to the thatis from the water companies. whether that is cutting bursts and interruptions, whether that is eu, and that is now in the prime improving the quality of water and minister's discretion to an extent, customer service, but it is not consistent enough. we see failures up consistent enough. we see failures up and down the country. and we know listening to ursula van der leyen on that companies can deliver more, i'd be more efficient, and that is what thursday, that is probably what the eu wants as well, but how will the we are announcing today. you say that you have seen improvements and prime minister use his discretion? you can see how bad the industry is that is the question none of us know at times as well. the review in the answer to. given that he has january wasn't exactly glowing. how this huge leveraged, who will he be

bad overall is the state of the listening to, would it be business, will it be the new blue army from water industry? the review in january was a review of the companies' plans over the next five yea rs. we companies' plans over the next five years. we took a very close look at the north—west, the north—east and the north—west, the north—east and the midlands, from the city? where back to make sure that companies will it be coming from? in the we re back to make sure that companies were stretching themselves for customers and the environment, and that they were looking to be as run—up to the election this was a efficient as they possibly can. so government that was reluctant to that was not a commentary on the engage with business lobby groups who are not supportive of leaving state of the sector, but really, the eu. so, does he reopen, he needs saying that they needed to up their ambition for customers and the environment. as i say, we have seen to, one thing he needs to do is to improvements over the last 4—6 bring important jumps on to, one thing he needs to do is to bring importantjumps on with him, yea rs, improvements over the last 4—6 years, but frankly, nobody in the but those business groups will not sector believes that we are where we be satisfied with the tariff free wa nt to sector believes that we are where we trade deal and not much more that want to be. we know that we have got some india one thing is where we are climate change happening, greater extremes heading and actually, is the answer, climate change happening, greater extre m es of climate change happening, greater extremes of weather, leading to service fergus mutch customers, leading to pollution into the the conservative manifesto said we environment. we see more homes being don't want to be in the single market or customs union, and we connected onto the water assets and don't want the jurisdiction of the putting them under strain. so there european court of justice. isa putting them under strain. so there is a real need to step up, to make don't want the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. it left a bit of wiggle room on a level playing field provisions, but it is

this investment, to improve service and to get efficient as well. why pretty clear that we are a long way out and the battle is just about to will a cap on profits improve the bejoined on the out and the battle is just about to be joined on the shape of that service consumers see? we limit the future relationship. it will be joined in the new year. coming back amount of revenue water companies can collect from customers. they are to the immediate events of this week monopolies. it is important that we get a reading of the withdrawal agreement bill on friday and that limit is in place. we also set will get voted through, so leaving targets for service that companies provide, whether for customers or injanuary 31, the environment. and companies face will get voted through, so leaving in january 31, then will get voted through, so leaving injanuary 31, then this discussion you are talking about, haggling over the close detail, will happen penalties if they fail to achieve those services. and they get the thereafter. the uk should be pretty clear going into those negotiations chance of a word, if they exceed we re clear going into those negotiations were at its peak asks are, and where them. so, these new service standards focus the minds of the it is prepared to concede. this is companies, and we have had them in negotiations. we can't just place over the last ten years. we do it is prepared to concede. this is negotiations. we can'tjust assume that we will get what we want. the see them concentrating minds, and eu has been doing work on its site. some of the best companies may be the focus of next month is getting taking steps to improve what they the uk out, passing the withdrawal deliver. rachel fletcher, the chief agreement bill, i anticipate the prime minister will have no problems executive of 0fwat, thank you very there. he has a commons majority, much over time. —— for your time. and the fact that it was the only clear commitment in the conservative in other business stories we've been ma nifesto mea ns clear commitment in the conservative
