good night for the other, for the parties. i think in the other parties. i think in places i mean, what places like stoke, i mean, what you where these you saw was where in these elections four ago, elections four years ago, parties got quite parties like ukip got quite a big vote. they've probably not stood in lots these places or stood in lots of these places or it's their votes collapsed. and it's their votes collapsed. and it seems that lots of those sort it's their votes collapsed. and it workingiat lots of those sort it's their votes collapsed. and it working class:s of those sort it's their votes collapsed. and it working class brexit|ose sort it's their votes collapsed. and it working class brexit votersrt of working class brexit voters in have gone in places like stoke have gone back to vote in labour, which should give them some some encouragement. overall, encouragement. but overall, i think of the night is think the story of the night is that this has been a bad night for conservatives and really for the conservatives and really i'm not sure what anyone else would expected after would have expected after the turbulent that the turbulent year that the government conservative government and the conservative party know, on party have had. you know, on our third since last third prime minister since last year's elections, were, year's local elections, we were, i think, odd points down in i think, 30 odd points down in the polls in in october the opinion polls in in october when sunak took over. it when rishi sunak took over. it was to an was always going to be an element of limitation . element of damage limitation. and that extent , he and so to that extent, he probably has limited the damage. i think in october last year, the conservative party would probably bitten your hand probably have bitten your hand off results that we're off for these results that we're seeing. morning. so we're seeing. this morning. so we're potentially seeing— seeing. this morning. so we're potentially seeing the- g j 9 so we're potentially seeing the opinion potte— potentially seeing the opinion potte-piow— potentially seeing the opinion polls play reality polls just play out in reality across-country- polls just play out in reality across-country .- polls just play out in reality across country . let's turn across the country. let's turn to — across the country. let's turn now to rochester,— across the country. let's turn now to rochester, to medway ,

not too badly, though. they got 14 seats. of course, they're not in control of the council any more. they did have a minority control backed up by those independents, those independents have been pretty much decimated with one independent being with only one independent being re—elected to the council. so it shows that labour party is back in control here and they're going to be doing what they want to do in stoke, in an area that they tend to do quite well in. but as i said in an area that's big on the leave vote, 69% or so voting for brexit with a big working class community. this is exactly the sort of place where the labour party wants to be drawing its attention as they go through into the next year or two years with hopefully a general election win if they can do that. tom really , really do that. tom really, really interesting to see that sort of demographic shift. let's turn to anna demographic shift. let's turn to ammo itiiew— demographic shift. let's turn to ammo itiiew ow— demographic shift. let's turn to anna riley now in— demographic shift. let's turn to anna riley now in hull- demographic shift. let's turn to anna riley now in hull ,- 33 f. let's turn to anna riley now in hull , because anna riley now in hull, because heree— anna riley now in hull, because here's somewhere— anna riley now in hull, because here's somewhere where the iohowr— here's somewhere where the iotowr rottw— here's somewhere where the labour party perhaps hasn't done as labour party perhaps hasn't done oe wett— labour party perhaps hasn't done oe weii when— labour party perhaps hasn't done as well when their— labour party perhaps hasn't done as well when their opponents oemt— as well when their opponents oemt the— as well when their opponents aren't the conservatives. the iotowr— aren't the conservatives. the iotowr rottw— aren't the conservatives. the labour party was— aren't the conservatives. the labour party was hoping to pick up hott— labour party was hoping to pick up hwit omi— labour party was hoping to pick up hull and they—

when they can go into those polling stations, they're choosing to vote for a liberal democrat candidate, a liberal democrat candidate, a liberal democrat campaigner . they know democrat campaigner. they know that we work hard for them, that we listen to their concerns and they will never take them for granted . the people have sent granted. the people have sent out a huge message , a message so out a huge message, a message so loud that even someone as out of touch as rishi sunak can't ignore. we're are fed up of waiting so long for the basics. wait waiting for hours for an ambulance . eight days for a gp ambulance. eight days for a gp appointment, months and even years for a hospital appointment. waiting in vain for the police to turn up when there's been a breaking waiting for months for a pothole to be mended and repaired . waiting for mended and repaired. waiting for real action to help people who are struggling with their soaring energy bills and food

pnces soaring energy bills and food prices and waiting, still waiting for those hospitals that have been promised for years now . waiting, waiting , waiting for . waiting, waiting, waiting for an end to the sewage edge that these companies keep pouring into our rivers, onto our beaches. into our rivers, onto our beaches . and we're waiting for beaches. and we're waiting for the government to listen to people and stop taking them for granted . and people are waiting granted. and people are waiting for a fair deal. granted. and people are waiting for a fair deal . all these for a fair deal. all these conservative mps are out of touch, out of ideas and out of excuses. yes people are fed up of waiting for a chance to kick them out. we're all fed up of waiting for a general election . waiting for a general election. and you know , i think there's and you know, i think there's a chance now that we can have that general election within the next

year. general election within the next year . and i think the message is year. and i think the message is clear. the time's up for rishi sunak and his appalling conservative government . the conservative government. the liberal democrats have shown that we are the ones working hard in communities across our country. we're the ones to beat so many conservatives across the blue wall and beyond . and i'm blue wall and beyond. and i'm determined that the liberal democrats keep working , don't democrats keep working, don't take people for granted, show our amazing policies and so my message to my party is a great night for us. but let's go back and work even harder so we can beat the conservatives at the next general election . thank you next general election. thank you very much . thank you . wow i bet very much. thank you. wow i bet wow-re— very much. thank you. wow i bet wow-re thet— very much. thank you. wow i bet woe tiret . — very much. thank you. wow i bet you're tired . yeah— very much. thank you. wow i bet you're tired . yeah ,_ very much. thank you. wow i bet you're tired . yeah , but- trig f“ thank you. wow i bet you're tired . / you're tired. yeah, but what a result here. absolutely fabulous . you know, when i came, you told me you might win ten. was it 13? you won 13. wow. what a result. well done, simon. well

was always going to be a terrible night for the conservatives and, know, conservatives and, you know, i think that the plus point for the that the conservatives is that i think left think when liz truss left office, i think we were something north of 30 points down in the opinion polls. rishi sunak ship. sunak has steadied the ship. i think halved that think he's probably halved that deficit in all most of the polls i've seen when people ask who would you prefer as prime minister? rishi sunak or keir starmer, it's pretty much neck and in some polls. i see and neck in some polls. i see rishi sunak ahead . he's rishi sunak ahead. he's certainly outperforming the conservative brand, so he's certainly not the problem. he's he's our biggest plus point at the moment. so i think in terms of the general election , i think of the general election, i think rishi sunak has steadied the ship. and if he does deliver on his five priority is then that will that will put a different slant on things. but yeah, clearly very bad clearly it's been a very bad night the conservative night for the conservative party, i don't think anyone party, but i don't think anyone expected else to be expected anything else to be honest hour or so ago, honest and an hour or so ago, after sunak walked into after rishi sunak walked into conservative campaign headquarters four bags of headquarters with four bags of bacon rolls , he came out and bacon rolls, he came out and spoke to the media and said spoke to the media and he said it actually hasn't that bad

spoke to the media and he said it night lly hasn't that bad spoke to the media and he said it night at hasn't that bad spoke to the media and he said it night at all;n't that bad spoke to the media and he said it night at all for that bad spoke to the media and he said it night at all for the that bad a night at all for the conservatives. he pointed to peterborough,— he pointed to peterborough, bassetlaw, to peterborough, to bassetlaw, to eontwett— peterborough, to bassetlaw, to sandwell areas— peterborough, to bassetlaw, to sandwell areas where the conservatives _ sandwell areas where the conservatives actually conservatives have actually gained— conservatives have actually gained councillors . is he gained some councillors. is he nont— gained some councillors. is he mom or— gained some councillors. is he tent on te— gained some councillors. is he tent on te ne— gained some councillors. is he right or is he out— gained some councillors. is he right or is he out of touch? wett— right or is he out of touch? wett. toot.— right or is he out of touch? wett. toot. .— right or is he out of touch? well, look, i mean- right or is he out of touch? well, look, i mean political parties always point to the results that want point results that they want to point to the ones that went in to and the ones that went in their direction and try and ignore that that were ignore the ones that that were inconvenient or all political parties mean, parties do that. i mean, nobody's why they nobody's i don't know why they do because nobody's fool, are do it because nobody's fool, are they everybody see they really everybody can see that a bad night for that it's been a bad night for the conservative party. as the conservative party. and as a consequence of that, it's been a good night labour and a good good night for labour and a good night for lib dems. night for the for the lib dems. but i think it's not really i don't for my sense of knocking on people's doors, it isn't really people wanting to go out and wanting go and vote labour or wanting to go out vote. lib dem it was out and vote. lib dem it was people wanting the people wanting to give the conservative party bit of a conservative party a bit of a kick in because of their unhappiness over what's happened kick in because of their unhatheiess over what's happened kick in because of their unhatheiess

he thinks he's done. well, i mean, my understanding in mean, my understanding is in bassetlaw, conservatives bassetlaw, the conservatives gained three seats off independents conservative independents in a conservative area, that's what area, and that's it. that's what they're at, is the big they're pointing at, is the big success. still the best success. and it's still the best result for labour result ever for labour in bassetlaw. you even bassetlaw. so, you know, even the examples he points to, my understanding is that it's not really home about. really much to write home about. and reminds me of and actually it reminds me of rishi sometimes at prime rishi sunak sometimes at prime minister's questions. you know, when starmer asks him when keir starmer asks him about the the of public the nhs or the state of public services economy or services or the economy or whatever and rishi whatever it is, and rishi sunak's response is quite often, oh, everything's you know, oh, everything's fine, you know, what complaining what are people complaining about? response about? that kind of response is what it has echoes of what he gives. it has echoes of that. he's talking that. and when he's talking about election results, the about the election results, the truth is they are disastrous for rishi and the conservative rishi sunak and the conservative party. even party. you know, you might even have sunak now to have expected rishi sunak now to be in some of honeymoon be in some kind of honeymoon penod be in some kind of honeymoon period over. you period after he took over. you know, it 2019 when know, compare it to 2019 when the conservatives at rock the conservatives were at rock bottom. had step bottom. theresa may had to step down weeks after the 2019 down a few weeks after the 2019 elections. you would that elections. you would think that would to go back, would be rock bottom to go back, not just to go back, but to do so badly from that rock bottom position. it just shows quite what position they're what a dire position they're in. hang james. sorry. is hang on, james. sorry. is this a

transport and in particular the running times of the bus lane . running times of the bus lane. so people who have gone out to vote today will be hoping that lib dems keep to those promises that they've made. but it was a low turnout. only 22% of people here in hull came home to vote and that was down from last yeah and that was down from last year. 23.5. then coming out to vote. and last year it was pretty significant. it was when lib dems did take control from laboun lib dems did take control from labour. labour had been in power for here ten years and we don't know as yet how much of an implication those voting id laws have had. and also people reporting that they've been turned away from polling stations as to how that fed in or if it's also voter apathy . or if it's also voter apathy. and it's a red wall seat here. three labour mps. and it's a red wall seat here. three labour mps . so we'll see three labour mps. so we'll see in the general elections if it'll be lib dems here for that , or if labour will hold their seats. acas. interesting stuff, am...— seats. acas. interesting stuff, am... tnont— seats. acas. interesting stuff, anna, thank you— seats. acas. interesting stuff, anna, thank you for- interesting stuff, anna, thank you for that. let's tom— anna, thank you for that. let's tom to— anna, thank you for that. let's tom to tott— anna, thank you for that. let's turn to jack carson, who's in

seat is conservative here in dudley, the dudley north mp mark long has said that he was confident last night's confident last that last night's results would be bad for news laboun results would be bad for news labour, but he still also mentions the fact of having to get tories out and voting. he says they still have to connect with those disenfranchised voters. look at the voters. when you look at the turnout here in dudley for the election yesterday, it was around 30, which on a on a national scale probably more national scale probably is more than other labour council than some other labour council election stations. but of course, when you look at the turnout ward by ward, it was down by 3 or 4 points. but here in this in this council election, the conservatives managed to hold their own. well, jack and anna, indeed, thank you so much for bringing us that news on the ground there. more, of course, as this afternoon- tit“ g more, of course, as this afternoon or tnteet— of course, as this afternoon or indeed what's— of course, as this afternoon or indeed what's left— of course, as this afternoon or indeed what's left of this momtno— indeed what's left of this morning rolls— indeed what's left of this morning rolls on. we'll also towe— morning rolls on. we'll also nowe tne— morning rolls on. we'll also have the countdown to the coronotton. — have the countdown to the coronation. that clock is tttttno— coronation. that clock is ttettno ont— coronation. that clock is ticking and we'll be live on the mot— ticking and we'll be live on the not wttt— ticking and we'll be live on the not wttn ott— ticking and we'll be live on the mal with all that— ticking and we'll be live on the mal with all that you need to mow.— mal with all that you need to mow. tnot-e— mal with all that you need to know. that's next. stay with us on know. that's next. stay with us

more complex when they get to in some of the country in some parts of the country and in others they're anti development in form. but actually if in some form. but actually if they need a younger voter elsewhere, the pro—developer to get the housing ladder. get them on the housing ladder. so always trip so that will always trip them up. moment they're up. but at the moment they're exploiting weaknesses exploiting those weaknesses and also environmental also looking at environmental issues well. really issues as well. really interesting to see how potentially those local results don't always translate into national results. they're will we towe— national results. they're will we have more— national results. they're will we have more of— national results. they're will we have more of these- they're will we have more of these result onotweet— we have more of these result onotweet oe— we have more of these result analysed as the— we have more of these result analysed as the programme goes on? analysed as the programme goes one twt— analysed as the programme goes one twt tot— analysed as the programme goes on? but for now,— analysed as the programme goes on? but for now, a— analysed as the programme goes on? but for now, a 90 year old tome— on? but for now, a 90 year old former dancer— on? but for now, a 90 year old former dancer and— on? but for now, a 90 year old former dancer and model who was tnwttet— former dancer and model who was tnwttet to— former dancer and model who was invited to queen— former dancer and model who was invited to queen elizabeth's cononotton— invited to queen elizabeth's coronation, 70 _ invited to queen elizabeth's coronation, 70 years ago has eott— coronation, 70 years ago has eott ene-tt— coronation, 70 years ago has said she'll never— coronation, 70 years ago has said she'll never forget that moonttteent— said she'll never forget that magnificent spectacle . our home magnificent spectacle. our home etttot— magnificent spectacle. our home ettton nott— magnificent spectacle. our home editor mark white _ magnificent spectacle. our home editor mark white has been to meet— editor mark white has been to meet towte— editor mark white has been to meet towte dayn— editor mark white has been to meet joyce day, who says she's wew— meet joyce day, who says she's wew exttet— meet joyce day, who says she's very excited about— meet joyce day, who says she's very excited about king cnontee-e— very excited about king charles's coronation and tettewee— charles's coronation and believes he'll- charles's coronation and believes he'll be a great . king believes he'll be a great. king i believes he'll be a great. king t tttn-t— believes he'll be a great. king t tttn-t tnow— believes he'll be a great. king i didn't know how— believes he'll be a great. king i didn't know how incredibly tmtontont— i didn't know how incredibly tmtontont tt— i didn't know how incredibly important it was. t“ important it was. i mean, we couldn't imagine a gathering such as that where having . this

the slight , slightly, slightly the slight, slightly, slightly slim of an overall majority, but they'll probably patch together a coalition government where they will be back in control of hartlepool. as for here in middlesbrough, well, hartlepool. as for here in middlesbrough, well , the middlesbrough, well, the counting is well underway. we're not expecting result until not expecting the result until around 3:00 at this afternoon . around 3:00 at this afternoon. the conservatives saying that things are on a knife edge. here. they are in control, but the expectation is that labour will do particularly well and it is like middlesbrough is places like middlesbrough where need to be doing where labour need to be doing well they within any well if they are within any chance winning the next chance of winning the next general and there was general election. and there was a them last night a victory for them at last night here middlesbrough where they a victory for them at last night here controlilesbrough where they a victory for them at last night here control of;brough where they a victory for them at last night here control of the jgh where they a victory for them at last night here control of the mayoralty they took control of the mayoralty here, it was pretty close in the end , only 960 votes in it, but end, only 960 votes in it, but labour very much back in control of that, taking it from an independent, a clearly arnie there is a sense that labour need to win back the red wall. the mood music here is when you look at the votes that we've seen overnight in the north—east and you sway that through to the west midlands effectively somewhere like stoke on trent

and labour argue they are and labour would argue they are starting to that. but for starting to do that. but for a perfect example of that, where labour back in control, there a seat, they lost a seat that had been labour for decades under dennis skinner is now a council level back in their control . level back in their control. well, darren, thank you so much for well, darren, thank you so much ton ttntnt— well, darren, thank you so much ton bringing we— well, darren, thank you so much for bringing us the— well, darren, thank you so much for bringing us the very latest tnene— for bringing us the very latest tnene ttom — for bringing us the very latest there from middlesbrough. we'll be there from middlesbrough. we'll te tott— there from middlesbrough. we'll te toet wttt— there from middlesbrough. we'll be back with you,— there from middlesbrough. we'll be back with you, of course, tntowonowt— be back with you, of course, throughout out— be back with you, of course, throughout out the afternoon as ttettng— throughout out the afternoon as ttettno wt— throughout out the afternoon as we're ticking up to the afternoon _ we're ticking up to the afternoon now. but now, afternoon now. but for now, tet-e— afternoon now. but for now, tet-e-to— afternoon now. but for now, let's-to .panel- afternoon now. but for now, let's to panel here in let's turn to our panel here in tne— let's turn to our panel here in tneiwewe— let's turn to our panel here in the-news studio.- let's turn to our panel here in the news studio. delighted to the gb news studio. delighted to be the gb news studio. delighted to te totnet— the gb news studio. delighted to te totnet ettt— the gb news studio. delighted to be joined still by— the gb news studio. delighted to be joined still by esther mcvey , .conservative _ be joined still by esther mcvey , .conservative .for- be joined still by esther mcvey , conservative for tatton , the conservative mp for tatton ont— , the conservative mp for tatton ont tott— , the conservative mp for tatton and lord faulkner.— , the conservative mp for tatton and lord faulkner. the labour teet— and lord faulkner. the labour teen noe— and lord faulkner. the labour peer has joined— and lord faulkner. the labour peer has joined us as well. wtoet— peer has joined us as well. wtoet-oteo- peer has joined us as well. nigel-also with- peer has joined us as well. nigel also with us in peer has joined us as well. - nigel-also with us in the nigel nelson also with us in the etwtto— nigel nelson also with us in the etwtto. ant— nigel nelson also with us in the studio. and lord— nigel nelson also with us in the studio. and lord faulkner, let's etott— studio. and lord faulkner, let's etott-wow— studio. and lord faulkner, let's start-you because- studio. and lord faulkner, let's start you because this is start with you because this is an interesting— start with you because this is an interesting step on the road to tne— an interesting step on the road to me oenenot— an interesting step on the road to the general election. it's tne— to the general election. it's me toet— to the general election. it's the last opportunity really for the last opportunity really for me twttte— the last opportunity really for me twttte to— the last opportunity really for the public to vote before that oenenot— the public to vote before that general election.— the public to vote before that general election. what do you tntnt— general election. what do you tntnt tt— general election. what do you think it says?— general election. what do you think it says? well, i think it eowe— think it says? well, i think it eowe two— think it says? well, i think it says two things. first of all, all people are willing to in

deliver them with the trade deals which were starting to see come through for them. they were cross our red wall was really crossed with us in the build up to 2019 because i think they think we didn't deliver over quite a long period of time. they will think the same now of wow— they will think the same now of wown tontw— they will think the same now of wown tonw, twt— they will think the same now of wown tonw, twt eo— they will think the same now of your party, but so they'll be ant— your party, but so they'll be cross. and however much rishi eott— cross. and however much rishi eott ot— cross. and however much rishi sort of brushes— cross. and however much rishi sort of brushes his teeth and toote— sort of brushes his teeth and toote emont— sort of brushes his teeth and looks smart on— sort of brushes his teeth and looks smart on the telly and is not— looks smart on the telly and is not surrounded— looks smart on the telly and is not surrounded with men in white e.oote — not surrounded with men in white coats. nevertheless— not surrounded with men in white coats. nevertheless that is not going— coats. nevertheless that is not ootnt to— coats. nevertheless that is not going to oeot— coats. nevertheless that is not going to deal with the sense of tettowot— going to deal with the sense of tettowot . — going to deal with the sense of betrayal . nato— going to deal with the sense of betrayal . nato do- going to deal with the sense of betrayal . t ' o ttit going to deal with the sense of betrayal. t' o jtit witgititi; going to deal with the sense of betrayal . t ' cj jtit g ”cc: betrayal. nato do you agree with me though? the i guess the appeal that blair and brown had, i'm not seeing and i'm not heanng i'm not seeing and i'm not hearing and people aren't thinking of keir and rachel reeves. they're just not that attracted to them. so seven, 8% lead like an ed miliband isn't good enough. they've got to get back to those days of a 15 point lead with either david cameron before they won in 2010 or the labour party had before 97. i

agree with you that we're not seeing that huge sense of hope that blair and brown gave in the build up to 97, but which politician could achieve that now after, for example , the now after, for example, the expenses scandal ? the standing expenses scandal? the standing of expenses scandal? the standing ot tottttetone— expenses scandal? the standing of politicians has— expenses scandal? the standing of politicians has really- i 37 the standing of politicians has really gone town.— of politicians has really gone town. totte— of politicians has really gone down. you're never going to get tnot. — down. you're never going to get tnot. vow— down. you're never going to get tnot. vow eow— down. you're never going to get that. you say that.— down. you're never going to get that. you say that. but- down. you're never going to get that. /ti. that. you say that. but but bods that. you say that. but but boris did do that in 2019 with an 80. are charismatic charisma of the shadow cabinet . wes of the shadow cabinet. wes streeting is a name- wes streeting is a name that's often tonttet— streeting is a name that's often bandied around— streeting is a name that's often bandied around as— streeting is a name that's often bandied around as someone who's a bandied around as someone who's otwtwne— bandied around as someone who's o twtwe teoten — bandied around as someone who's a future leader. and— bandied around as someone who's a future leader.
