deal that a lot of labour activist called for. that is quite controversial because people feel maybe voters will feel as if they're being patronised and told what to do and then it might look anti—democratic and like a stitch up. it's avoiding that but it same time it's more convenient because labour does our financial problems at the moment. it is struggling with money and there are more restrictions on trade unions abilities to campaign as well. it resolves all of that and brings out all together and allows keir starmer to get his best shot and secure a majority with help from the lib dems. j majority with help from the lib dems. ., ., ., ., , dems. i said would get on to age put u . dems. i said would get on to age put u- we are dems. i said would get on to age put up we are not — dems. i said would get on to age put up we are not to _ dems. i said would get on to age put up we are not to do _ dems. i said would get on to age put up we are not to do that _ dems. i said would get on to age put up we are not to do that with - dems. i said would get on to age put up we are not to do that with the - up we are not to do that with the telegraph. i've given away most of my age by saying i can vividly remember 1987 storm. 0n the front page of the telegraph there is a story which might reassure people or not, we will see. brains, keep up the good work until we turned 60 foot of a persons mind is as sharp as ever to the age of 60 previous researchers found that the brain
