time we get to of the year. by the time we get to party conference in october, he will have to articulate a much more broad and inspirational vision about low productivity, which we had even before the pandemic, how we deal with our standing on the international stage and so many other challenges that we don't really have an inkling about how the prime minister will deal with these things. is he the right man for the job? i think rishi sunak... we things. is he the right man for the job? i think rishi sunak. . .- job? i think rishi sunak. .. we will wait and see _ job? i think rishi sunak. .. we will wait and see what _ job? i think rishi sunak. .. we will wait and see what he _ job? i think rishi sunak. .. we will wait and see what he has - job? i think rishi sunak. .. we will wait and see what he has to - job? i think rishi sunak. .. we will wait and see what he has to say . job? i think rishi sunak. .. we will. wait and see what he has to say come october. a moment ago, you said he needs to show empathy. you have written a book, the power of the outsider. last month, rishi sunak said when it comes to the economy it will be ok, i am on it. is that a man who is in touch a man who has an extreme amount of wealth and his family that none of us can even imagine, is that really showing empathy and being in touch with the ordinary people of this country? macrow that is less of a concern for me. what is a concern is about how people are represented where decisions are being made. i have publicly said that i think it is

wrong there is no mp representing a red wall seat with a seat at the top table in the cabinet. they need much more working class conservative voices about how they understand what the working man is going through. there is a lot more the premise will have to do is demonstrate he really truly understands what people are going through. at the moment. that does not mean that he cannot do it, but he certainly has to do a lot more than previous prime ministers. you have worked _ than previous prime ministers. you have worked at _ than previous prime ministers. you have worked at downing street, you described it as a dysfunctional environment. how is this government beenin environment. how is this government been in power too long? and a complacent, out of touch? is it time for change? we complacent, out of touch? is it time for change?— for change? we had no and ministration _ for change? we had no and ministration under - for change? we had no and ministration under the - for change? we had no and - ministration under the conservatives for 13 years. he should be afforded the opportunity to put his case forward. with his five pledges in january, he wanted to show he is competent and can do the job. now we know that, we need to hear more

about his vision and how we understand what people are going through. i think, understand what people are going through. ithink, we understand what people are going through. i think, we do not know what is going to happen next year. it is too soon to say that the labour party are going to win. but, the prime minister of course has the big hill tojump. d0 the prime minister of course has the big hill toiump-_ big hill to “ump. do you think that this big hill to jump. do you think that this conservative _ big hill to jump. do you think that this conservative party _ big hill to jump. do you think that this conservative party can - this conservative party can genuinely win a general election when so many people across the country blame his predecessor liz truss for tanking the economy and leading to hugejumps in their mortgages? leading to huge “umps in their mortgages?— leading to huge “umps in their mortgages? leading to huge “umps in their mortmaes? ~ ., mortgages? well, if there was an election next _ mortgages? well, if there was an election next week, _ mortgages? well, if there was an election next week, then - mortgages? well, if there was an election next week, then perhaps mortgages? well, if there was an - election next week, then perhaps you would have a different response from me. but, because this election is probably going to be in well over a year, i think that is more than enough time for the premise that a put forward a really clear and compelling case. it is up to him. he is going to have to be more ambitious, more choosy with who is around the table, and he needs to show empathy most people want to see. most of the people in this country are struggling. things are probably going to get worse before

they get better. they need to see that there is a prime minister who understands what they are going through, and cannibalise with them. if you can do that, i suppose he had a chance. it is up to him. obviously, i know them premise to we are not close. i don't have any skin in the game here. —— i don't have much skin in the game. i am more concerned about what people are going through in their homes and on our streets. going through in their homes and on ourstreets. he going through in their homes and on our streets. he needs to demonstrate that he understands more than he has done over the last few months. looking at pictures from selby where we are waiting to hear from the labour party leader, he will be congratulating the new labour mp who has overturned a 20,000 seat conservative party majority. what is important about this is that they have shown, this is a tory stronghold. this is not anywhere with a traditional labour base. how worried will rishi sunak be?- with a traditional labour base. how worried will rishi sunak be? yeah. i

don't know — worried will rishi sunak be? yeah. i don't know if— worried will rishi sunak be? yeah. i don't know if you _ worried will rishi sunak be? yeah. i don't know if you will _ worried will rishi sunak be? yeah. i don't know if you will be _ worried will rishi sunak be? yeah. i don't know if you will be worried. i don't know if you will be worried. it is on his doorstep. he has got a similar majority. i it is on his doorstep. he has got a similar majority.— similar ma'ority. i don't know if ou will similar majority. i don't know if you will be _ similar majority. i don't know if you will be worried, _ similar majority. i don't know if you will be worried, but - similar majority. i don't know if you will be worried, but he - similar majority. i don't know if. you will be worried, but he would similar majority. i don't know if- you will be worried, but he would do well to listen and pay attention. as i said, we are in the middle of the cost of living crisis, people are struggling. people have had to endure some shocking events. to be fair, underthe endure some shocking events. to be fair, under the previous administrations before rishi sunak was her minister. he wanted to make sure that their voices being heard. they want a response and reaction. if the prime minister is able to deliver that in the coming weeks and months, then he will be afforded the opportunity to be given another chance. it is up to him, really. but yes, i don't dig he is worried. i don't mean he's learned anything new. by—elections happen. historically, incumbent parties don't do very well in those. that doesn't mean you need to route dismiss the results. you need to demonstrate you are listening to what people are trying to tell you.

we had from our correspondent on the ground that conservative party is lent labour that support. i wonder where you sit politically right now? he said you have no skin in game, will you be voting conservative in the next general election? i’oe will you be voting conservative in the next general election? i've been a conservative _ the next general election? i've been a conservative since _ the next general election? i've been a conservative since i _ the next general election? i've been a conservative since i was _ the next general election? i've been a conservative since i was 19 - the next general election? i've been a conservative since i was 19 years l a conservative since i was 19 years old. ifi a conservative since i was 19 years old. if i was a betting man, i probably would bet on it. i am a conservative councillor, so i suppose i have some skin in the game. i am suppose i have some skin in the game. iam not suppose i have some skin in the game. i am not particularly close to the colo minister, i have clear opinions about how the country should be run. even if they are not very popular in my own party,. i don't have to zoom in the game in that respect. i genuinely do believe there is enough time to turn things around. the prime minister will have to be bigger, bolder, more empathetic, he will have to have more interest in people on his front bench who understand what the working man, and woman are going through. he has the summer to

reflect on how he comes back stronger. thejury reflect on how he comes back stronger. the jury is still out. i don't know if he will do this come october. i hope it does, but you know, we will have to wait and see. what i want to see is more a mission i think the country needs more ambition. the country needs more ambition. the country needs more ambition. the country needs more ambition. the country need some hope. we've gone through some tough times. he hope. we've gone through some tough times. . , . hope. we've gone through some tough times. ., , ., ., hope. we've gone through some tough times. ., ., . ., ., times. he has had a chance to do that, though. _ times. he has had a chance to do that, though. he _ times. he has had a chance to do that, though. he has _ times. he has had a chance to do that, though. he has been - times. he has had a chance to do that, though. he has been in - times. he has had a chance to do i that, though. he has been in power for long enough to offer a vision. why has he not? he for long enough to offer a vision. why has he not?— why has he not? he started in janua , why has he not? he started in january. he — why has he not? he started in january. he had _ why has he not? he started in january, he had the _ why has he not? he started in january, he had the five - why has he not? he started in i january, he had the five pledges. why has he not? he started in - january, he had the five pledges. he wanted to show he could be a strong prime minister, which is fine. come october, that will have been long enough to say, look, i have focused on these five pledges. this is where we are going to go. to be fair to him, i don't think any of the other leaders articulated a very clear vision for the country either. the country is looking for a leader that can articulate a really interesting and inspiring vision. nobody has done that quite yet. nobody has done

that for various reasons, with the prime minister, he is trying to focus on his competence. with the leader of the opposition, keir starmer, he is trying to keep his powder dry. that is what you do in opposition. eventually, the country will ask, what is your vision for the country? at that point, people will be able to make a final decision about who they are going to trust going forward. there is a lot of time before a general election, there is likely to be, so there is room for that articulation to come sooner rather than later. let room for that articulation to come sooner rather than later.- room for that articulation to come sooner rather than later. let me ask ou more sooner rather than later. let me ask you more about _ sooner rather than later. let me ask you more about uxbridge. _ sooner rather than later. let me ask you more about uxbridge. you - sooner rather than later. let me ask you more about uxbridge. you were| sooner rather than later. let me ask. you more about uxbridge. you were a conservative party may oral hope for. you wanted to fight sadik khan in the election. you are and to the expansion of the ulez sewn, aren't you? what do you think about this very specific issue. there is a judicial review under way. what you

think it tells us about the wider feeling in london, and how worried the london mayor, sadik khan, might be by result. find the london mayor, sadik khan, might be by result-— be by result. and i looked at the exoansion. _ be by result. and i looked at the exoansion. l— be by result. and i looked at the expansion, i looked _ be by result. and i looked at the expansion, i looked at _ be by result. and i looked at the expansion, i looked at it - expansion, i looked at it objectively. in my district, i've been... i wasn't someone who is dogmatic about the subject. but the more i could see that there were ordinary people, people who drove a white van or work our workers, they would be significantly impacted by the expansion. during the cost of living crisis, i was convinced it was the wrong thing, certainly at the wrong time. with the mayor of london, he has seen the evidence and has decided to move forward with this. i if this extension does go as planned, then there is going to be some serious impact on ordinary people. i don't know how the mayo is

thoughts are for keir starmer and the new mp, 25—year—old keir mather, who will be the youngest member of parliament, officially, the baby of the house. let's listen in.- the house. let's listen in. well, what a welcome. _ the house. let's listen in. well, what a welcome. in _ the house. let's listen in. well, what a welcome. in labour- the house. let's listen in. well, | what a welcome. in labour selby the house. let's listen in. well, - what a welcome. in labour selby and ainsty! doesn't that sound good! and todayis ainsty! doesn't that sound good! and today is a day of firsts. i am the first leader to say labour selby and ainsty! it is the first time we have one here, the first time we have overturned a 20,000 majority, the biggest majority we have ever turned overin biggest majority we have ever turned over in the history of the labour party! absolutely fantastic. and,

because i am always saying no complacency, it is the first time ever that i have been able to say, well done kier! keir mather, the new mp! fantastic. and, iwant to address those that voted for us yesterday, directly. because you voted for change, you put your trust in the labour party, and we hear you. we hear that cry for change away from the chaos, those rising bills, the crumbling public services, a cry for change. and we will deliver. we will deliver through keir mather, and we will deliver through the next labour government. because, this labour party has changed. what happened yesterday is a vindication of that change. the priorities of working

people are our priorities, and that is why people are prepared to put their trust in the labour party. they want a part in a government focus on their priorities ofjobs, health, public services, opportunities for everyone wherever they are. by changing our party, listening to voters, we have shown what a changed labour party can do. this should never have been a by—election. caused by the chaos, the division, the infighting in the tory party, and that is why so many people have said to us, they want change, they want to see politics as a force for good, and we will deliver that change, we will see politics as a force for good with the lex never government with keir mather coming into parliament. i am going to pass over to angela rayner. thank you. and, i won't speak for long _

their biggest majority, or overturning of majority, in the history of the labour party. he told the people there, and obviously, viewers watching elsewhere, you voted for change. he said, we will develop. —— we will deliver. he said that the labour party had changed, this was a vindication of that change, and he said that by listening to voters, and change, we have shown what we can do with some of the labour party's frontbenchers as well. they are congratulating them. they do an a lot of resources at the by—election, confident and hopeful they could win it. it is really significant for the labour party, because, it is a tory heartland. it is not an area where there is a traditional labour base. so, really important for them to show that they can take this kind of seat, and also, the fact that... i think you might be speaking to one of our correspondence. let's listen

last night, many, many people put their trust in the labour party, and we know, as we go forward, that we must continue to earn the trust, and to deliver if get the chance in a labour government on the very many aspirations of the people in this constituency. aspirations of the people in this constituency-— constituency. what are the priorities — constituency. what are the priorities for _ constituency. what are the priorities for the _ constituency. what are the priorities for the people i constituency. what are the priorities for the people in | constituency. what are the i priorities for the people in this constituency? to priorities for the people in this constituency?— priorities for the people in this constituen ? ., , , , constituency? to ensure everybody has the opportunity _ constituency? to ensure everybody has the opportunity to _ constituency? to ensure everybody has the opportunity to get - constituency? to ensure everybody has the opportunity to get on i constituency? to ensure everybody has the opportunity to get on the i has the opportunity to get on the public service is working well, that the economy grows, and that there is a sense of a country moving forward. so, this is a big step forward towards the general election. never before in our history have we done this. i am very, very proud of the team. keir starmer, there, giving more

successful. selby and ainsty has only been conservative in its current form since consistency was up current form since consistency was up and running in 2010. there was a previous labour mp for selby, but that was under different boundaries. this is pretty much rock solid tory territory in north yorkshire. he didn't quite use the phrase that labour were parking their tanks on rishi sunak's long, but i think there was a suggestion from angela rayner that rishi sunak should be worried. his consistency is just up the a90 from here in north yorkshire. so yes, the mood amongst labour activists here is, if they can turn around a constituency like this, they can perhaps do it in other places as well.- this, they can perhaps do it in other places as well. what is your view of that? _ other places as well. what is your view of that? even _ other places as well. what is your view of that? even this _ other places as well. what is your view of that? even this is - other places as well. what is your view of that? even this is a i view of that? even this is a by—election, that this might not be replicated in a general election? i mean, many conservative activists and mps in yorkshire and the north

of england that i have spoken to since a result came on in the early hours said, it is a by—election, the game could change by the time of the general election, whenever that is. a year, 18 months' time. inflation may fall much further. nhs waiting lists could be drastically reduced. that is all part of rishi sunak's five point time. most tories would admit, they have suffered by—election defeats to before, and in some places, they have come back. i guess, the worry for the tories is, the victory here feels a bit like some of the labour victories that take place in the 1990s, in the run—up to the 1997 tony blair labour landslide. labour had some something by—election victories at the expense of the tories. they went on to win at the 1997 general election. so, labour would hope this bodes well for them. ., ., ~ labour would hope this bodes well for them. ., ., ,, i. labour would hope this bodes well for them. ., . ~' ,, , . for them. two, thank you very much for them. two, thank you very much for bein: for them. two, thank you very much for being with _ for them. two, thank you very much for being with us. _
