a large drop in support for prime minister theresa. to get. back. to work backfires british prime minister teresa mayes political future looks on so my driving mission in politics is to make this a country that works for people. people wait for help. the public. will be obstacles along the way but it's never be my style to hide from a challenge to shrink from a to give up and turn away. welcome to a going underground conservative party conference special where in manchester in england where millions of pounds worth of taxpayers' money has been spent on police protecting the conservative party arguably against the people prime minister only
9:30 am
because of a billion pounds spent on a formally paramilitary linked political party in northern ireland addressed a divided party and that's according to mainstream media coming up in the show even a disastrous speech copy and pasted from all the woods martin sheen in the west wing hasn't saved teresa mayes m.p.'s from now actively plotting against with mainstream media no addicting the imminent end of a premiership three leading tory m.p.'s about the policy dimension of this week's arguably. twenty seventeen. years consultant editor of the most. special website in the world the daily mail tells us how jeremy corbyn good sweep aside the tories to become britain's next prime minister is a freedom of information request release of advise using potentially lethal force to control the fracking activist a. deputy leader of the. why she joined tens of thousands of protesters
9:31 am
outside the militarized walls because of the party conference in manchester oliseh more coming up in today's going underground munch a star under virtual lockdown with snipers on buildings for this week's story conference was home to the u.k.'s first trades union congress the suffragettes movement in arguably the communist manifesto but today some claim one of the capitals of britain's northern thai house is comparatively more poverty stricken than when george orwell wrote the road to wigan pier in one nine hundred thirty six we spoke to britain's assistant whip to the treasury craig whittaker outside the convention center where police offices were holding back protesters at a reported cost of three million taxpayer pounds despite one hundred ten of his fellow tory m.p.'s not even attending their own or two conference greg thanks for stepping out of the conference and out of the malays it was so i kept on energy costs housing it sounds like golden light no not at all i mean you know we
9:32 am
heard the promise to give a very clear vision about what me should is going to be about and it's about taking personal responsibility for the housing market in this country and she's going to make sure that we get houses built for the young people the cooling mcdonnell bolasie which he probably shops will have any policies whatsoever at least of all day having the policies that it costed but we still have been spending fifty billion pounds a year we're still clearing up the coal but it's the top mess that we inherited gordon brown and tony blair it's essential to gender as no doubt you guys know all about what do you see him in his speech about d.c.m.s. you mention the b.b.c. correspondent laura guns but not by name but talking about the need for bodyguards polarized things getting in britain well i mean that you know that it's an atrocious situation you can hear the noise here today this isn't the majority this is the very very cool few very. so you know the liberal elites in this country are
9:33 am
very very good and very open minded and to you disagree with their point of view and that's what we're hearing hits and that's the sad part about the society will come to. any fear of jeremy coleman. and of course made reference to jamie goldman i think six times six times more than the name to resume well let's not forget germany is the opposition and you know all oppositions you know we are never complacent about any opposition because opposition is dangerous and particularly this type of opposition you know you've got a you've got a an opposition leader in this country that is taking this country back thirty years you know marxist in ideology country becoming more marxist why did they do so well. last time i checked they didn't do very well and lost an election though in fact they did they didn't come anywhere close to it in the last election i don't think that that tourism a mentioning the importance of unionism in keeping the united kingdom together was part of the billion billion pound bribe to the deity.
9:34 am
you know we are the conservative and unionist party b. always have been we always will be but what sort of power do the d.o.b. exert over you tory m.p.'s well none whatsoever the very separate parties we have a supply and demand working relationship they have a very clear god they will support a conservative government on like any other minority government in the history i think in a band of men of any fiscal rules which is going to make the electorate surely wonder why not just give the vertical will obviously put more keynesian infrastructure investment yeah but will it week we've already heard of called in that you know we're going to wipe out student debt but then i can see student fees and then all of a sudden guess what they kind of full to do it was even get the sixty billion pounds to write off student debt was he going to get that two hundred billion pounds to read nationalize you know industries in this country the men's deluded thank you you're welcome thank you deborah. government's treasury whip crate with
9:35 am
your there speaking to me outside the convention center protected by police and machine guns we also moved to somewhere more quiet to catch up with britain's former secretary of state for international development u.k. privy councillor andrew mitchell conservative m.p. for something called field to get his impressions of how well to raise a maze government is doing and joy away from all the gossip and personalities you were secretary of state for international development any sign of international development issues being spoken about here the conference the first thing it's going to do is to show that we know what we're doing have a brick set we've got to deliver successful for the u.k. the second thing is to do something about the levels of intergenerational unfairness in britain today and the third is to demonstrate why the free enterprise system why private enterprise is the great engine of opportunity and growth and raising living standards if we just get that do what you said about echoing the prime minister the free enterprise was the greatest engine i think she said of
9:36 am
agency of human progress jeremy corbyn john mcdonald was on this show they wouldn't disagree with that they're just saying now capitalism is failing. well i think john mcdonald and german believe that the venezuelan example of of how you run an economy is good way to run an economy we don't. see that in a world industrial economy as opposed to going to me the other emerging more developing nation economy both germany and john believe that the free enterprise system isn't delivering and that's why we need to fight these battles again that you believe that's the case to presume no i do think that i think the free and brought i think well then why is this the child poverty capital of this country and at the same term there are more multi-millionaires within a couple miles of where we're sitting than anywhere outside london child poverty under the conservatives has reduced inequality under the conservatives have reduced
9:37 am
it went up under the last labor government on the other as not grow our address inequality has reduced and it depends on pond which the sticks you are using but the effectiveness of the measures that we have taken lifting people out of poverty and that means families children and adults lifting about poverty have been extremely effective you know there was no great food bank use under the even the blairite brown or the labor regimes even conservative m.p.'s are nursing the universal credit roll out is the main reason for food bank use these are your party's policies in government that are causing the situation i don't think there's anything wrong with food banks i think that in a sophisticated society like. however strong the safety net is there will always be people who fall through it and i think that the food banks are very good example of
9:38 am
the big society trying to make sure that those gaps are plugged a little excited that philanthropic i don't old conservative idea and then to help no i don't favor of the rollout of universal. but it will be got to be so that we don't put people into a bad place as a result of that so there isn't the levels of developing world style debt of the current that used to be trying to solve overseas that are causing the german corbin's policies to. become more popular he's ordered favorite to be the next prime minister of this country what is it this was an election about authenticity and jeremy has done extremely well that he is utterly consistent an utterly authentic i believe also that he is wrong and what in his economic analysis under mitchell thank you conservative former cabinet minister under mitchell there and we also invited to a conference makeshift studio the former vice chair of the conservative party nigel evans to get his take on measures to twenty seventeen what do you think about manchester right now it's
9:39 am
a child poverty capital of this country so your logo in france i've been in the m.p. for a constituency just an hour up the road so i've been coming to manchester for many years and it's been transformed by successive governments i have to say it's far more dynamic one of the world's great cities yes there are going to be problems they're all they need to be dealt with and there again it's not something invented by this government it's successive governments now that you mention successive governments because some people including the prime minister seem arguably quite frightened of jeremy called we know obviously didn't see any of the success of government no you didn't know he's a he's a rebel now with a cause i guess and he's a rebel with a party i think he's he rose. and shop is from venezuela do we really want you to look at but just don't use the energy you're really willing i'll do you really want to turn this place into caracas i don't think so the fact is that i don't know that i was using food banks. i mean yeah seriously and that people aren't supporting
9:40 am
corbin because they see a deeply divided unequal britain no i think that they're seeing a dynamic britain that is now entering a new chapter it's a new iraq. we're leaving the european union and we will be doing trade deals throughout the rest of the world and hopefully doing a trade deal with the european union as well we still want to buy their cars we still want to buy their champagne and hopefully they'll still want to buy our products as well we've got a net deficit with the european union of about sixty to seventy billion pounds it's in their interests that david davis is allowed to negotiate a proper deal that's going to be in the best interest of all of us and then if you really want to see poverty go to greece go and have a look at fifty percent youth unemployment go to spain where you see fifty percent youth unemployment there as well there are a lot of countries within the european union who are doing very badly because of the system of the european union and the fact that they're on the euro it's not helping them it's helping germany but it's certainly not helping them doesn't you know he knew the eight the repeal bill will mean that a europe a skeptic or within mcdonnell can really bring about much was particular change of
9:41 am
the kind that you oppose so i trusted the electorate at the last general election didn't quite get the we wanted but they are always right i trusted the electorate on bragg's it as well and i will trust the electorate when it comes to the next general election when we're out of the european union yes jeremy corbyn with the const rates of the european union will be able to offer an agenda which if sufficiently attractive he will get elected to number ten our challenge is to ensure that we offer something that is going to be far more attractive than what we offered last time rome we attack the young we attack the old those days have gone we've now got cabinet governance back in this country the fact is we're being realistic about it we're not saying we're going to get rid of tuition fees because that is totally an affordable but what we are going to do is ensure that that threshold is raised before people start paying back that debt and we're also freezing the tuition fees as well these are sensible realistic things we're not promising things we can't deliver after all we are in government when we say we're
9:42 am
going to do something we'll be judged on whether we act or not nigel evans thank you after the break u.k. labor leader. jeremy corbett went so far as to say that his support goes up the board or globally as daily mail attacks him well we spoke to the newspaper's consultant at the this who appears not to have too much time for cool been or to raise a baby and we speak to be activists protesting your liberalism outside dres a base militarized conference protection walls the ones mainstream media have a bubble to interview it's all over the wall coming over but if you have going over the. economic development is all about numbers we're really pleased to report this
9:43 am
quarter we are on modern six point. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that i see no mike do. over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart is that. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. just tell a free market would. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society from the whatever the government tried to do it wasn't necessary maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not how capitalism works
9:44 am
but lose one goes hopelessly designer strictly rome. i have the absolute conviction. to be europe. and russia. have a common interest to look at closer corporation and this is why i seemed. to mobilize driving force into business community but also in culture entertainment and sports we did you know to bring the two societies much closer. welcome back before mainstream media turned on dres m a in this week's arguably disastrous conservative party conference jeremy corbyn called up mainstream media
9:45 am
and one particular newspaper one paper devoted four team pages to attacking the labor party. in the following. ten percent he was referring to the daily mail and well the leader of western europe's largest socialist party may laugh at it the lord rather me the title has in fact apparently most viewed english language newspaper websites in the world we sat down with the paper's consultant editor andrew pierce who was in manchester to cover this week's conference to get his take on theresa may the conservative party and who will be britain's next prime minister under way here in man just last week in brighton call been attacked your newspaper which apparently the biggest web presence on the internet of any newspaper in the world the daily mail this time it's the turn of the f.t. or maybe another type of newspaper constant attacks on newspapers and media at the moment well i took it as a badge of honor and i my attitude when terry mcauliffe and singled out the daily
9:46 am
mail for criticism that sound job is to not you personally more lord rather yeah it's our job is to challenge politicians and look at. they're saying what they're doing we don't like what coburn saying all day and here in manchester of course the f.t. has been attacked by tories from the platform because it's a cheerleader for the european union the editor lionel barber has got a civic award from the french government because of the work they've been doing promoting the european union which i think is an undemocratic useless incompetent expensive institution and i'm very glad we're leaving it's a japanese newspaper the f.t. anyway they've always been suspicious like german coburn as we said of the european union any suspicion that what are you hearing in the conference hall about some suspicions from some sections of the conservative body and the country that there's a creeping remain there is of reneging on the will of the british people going on well boris johnson speech brother a speech in the party conference try to deal with that head on because he's talked
9:47 am
about the benefits of brags that we've got to start seeing the positives of bragg's at seventeen and a half million people in britain voted to leave your opinion because they want to get their lives back that it won't brussels telling us what to do what we can and can't pay our benefits to and it's a long lost foreign secretary has spoken up for those benefits and i've always yeah but i know david daves the brakes except i've seen him a lot at this conference and i've known him for many years he says nothing's changing we are leaving the european union in march twenty nine thousand we're leaving the single market we're leaving the customs union and the transition period shouldn't be much more than two years which is pretty much what boris johnson said you know and people can probably understand a negotiation like this is sensitive is this really not be out in the open all the time but we do hear that civil servants are being stolen from david davis the brakes it secretary and put in downing street we know tourism it was a remainer i mean are there any worries that people voted for no leader to tell you why if the if the government doesn't deliver the bricks that people wanted which is
9:48 am
the european court not meddling in our affairs and that we can negotiate our own trade deals the tory government will be swept from office. i'm sure because when we prime minister people like to raise a million philip hammond of the people to drive this forward. then the bosses likely evokes world series they were davis may well be the boston for that much longer than they will have a new leader i don't think it's boris johnson by the way either and who it's going to be a good it's a good it's a good question to ask but i don't know but whoever it is it will be on the remains of all the soft tories i think it will be a leaf i think it probably has to be if i had to put money on it would be a man who dominate rob who's not even in the cabinet minister of state he's very clever close to david davis who was but not the also quite good he didn't get called it right i didn't horribly wrong but i did get the referendum right were money on the referendum and i won money on trump winning in the united states because i thought hillary clinton was ghastly and she had so much baggage and
9:49 am
that's that's even for you think has been so maybe i've got this one right it was definitely worth a long shot thank you very nice to be here. the consultant editor of lord rather me as daily mail newspaper well while but sheen gun toting police protected conservative party rallies inside man just as conference calls it was outside the militarized walls that one issue is being heard loud and clear changes to social security by twenty twenty two over seven million households are projected to receive praise amaze universal credit payments when they were hoff being working households with critics say the policy will drive millions to seek food aid this in a country which the red cross says is facing a humanitarian crisis over basic health and which the u.n. says is failing to protect the vulnerable this before it merged that teresa mayes so-called policy on housing would only be responsible for five thousand extra homes
9:50 am
while two million households languish on waiting lists. what do you think of tourism a sweet and really good thing. even though. even though it seems like when like some of the people coming to the conference. it's a great speech it really shows head terminations. he really wants to do something for the country which is fantastic what do you think of your leaders me i thank you very much a very challenging circumstances what about how she's trying to address child poverty this is the job of the capital of britain. this is and it's in manchester no no one in manchester elected i could seventy s. and p. nobody in manchester wants the tories here and they've used that they've sent that message by democratically elected people from other parties now the reason the concept the reason there's so much security here is because the concept is to come to such a leftwing city with a proud sister a proud history of socialism and effectively we are now our taxpayers and i
9:51 am
subsidizing this conference without the police and with the with the board as well so really there could've been a better located. action for that conference to be held and i think this is something that we see across the country as well but when we see i've been quite struck by protest movements and fracking sites where. are currently trailing and what you see are police lines just like there's hundreds of police to work against kind of thirty forty protesters who are there every day for using brutal tactics also means of course able to actually at the moment unsuccessfully trail for shale gas while our government is subsidizing the operation by providing police security i can understand entirely why people feel they need to take. direct action if you like than you know escalate their actions but i think you know and i can understand as people are very very angry people are being people's lives are being ruined i
9:52 am
don't like describing those kind of actions as violent because you know i mean actually if you look at what this government's responsible for cutting his funding is killing people cutting table people's benefits is killing people you know the situation with the grain felt was avoidable and that is you know that was a political decision about you know cutting costs and things which is why those people died so i think if we don't describe those kind of things as violent i don't think we can describe political protests as violent that we had our first food bank in the country opened in my local hospital and instead of the being a protest outside it saying this is wrong why are people being amidst this hospital with malnutrition related diseases the celebrated the past their food their drinks and their should go to bana. you know that couldn't abandon the site call in the fly fly into somebody you know i would i let you salivate because this government is going to come painted discrimination against the polish and say it's i spoke
9:53 am
unspayed politer since committed suicide in the job center of universal credit one man must absolutely everything including his family have no shoes on his feet so little of activities that we've been doing all the way the government we hold them accountable it's because a group site black triangle is spread all that time collated information about the deaths and destruction caused by this government it's about people like me who write for the paper write for the blog you challenge people all the time about these issues it's about good side daypack who put their lives unless regions on the line stands in front and sit in front of charms because they will not listen to peaceful protesters in a real large segment of population about twenty percent. and one of the main targets of this government's attacks on society have reveal stare at each and. you know we're suffering. a massive application of our rights remove all. the income that we need to live on. which has led to enormous suffering many deaths
9:54 am
in the thousands but you know don't go down cast i mean it's horrible government doing horrible things but you know we're strong together. and this is going to end we're going to get rid of this government. it's going to it's been seven years a really horrible seven years the united nations found that they're guilty of grave and systemic human rights abuses against people who have created a human catastrophe those are the actual words. and the government's rations about was simply to deny it's happening so we want rid of them they're a terrible bunch of people doing terrible things we want the mountains i also think the people want change on the foreign policy front as well because it seems to me to be completely wrong for this government or any other government to be spending billions and billions and billions of pounds on these foreign policy adventures these wars and interventions being so catastrophic over the last sixteen seventeen
9:55 am
years they've made the world a more dangerous place they've actually led to increase bitterness around the world they've called cause mayhem and chaos in whole regions of the world actually and of course they talk in the conference center about the terrorist attacks which are awful and dreadful and we want an end to them but everyone really knows that the main cools the main reason why terrorism is spreading around the world is because of the anger and hatred that people feel towards the kind of wars that the west has been waging in the last couple of decades so yes certainly having some alternative media is very important i mean we all know how incredibly biased the b.b.c. has been against corbin uneven some of the so-called left wing journalists on papers like the guardian approved wanting so yes we need an alternative media but we also badly need
9:56 am
a new politicized progressive culture my name. oh oh so come oh oh no you sold out to como surely you know you know i think it's very important to use culture in general including music to reach out to new audiences with progressive political ideas so i think that music has always been incredibly important. when it comes to the social and political debate and actually rulers of long understood this they very often try to suppress music that they don't like the message of anything they commissioned composes to keep their own propaganda the right to own a lion people i'm a rapper from manchester and this is it's i was it's not my country not my scene not my capital not my queen not my soul just not my armies not my tanks not my m sixteen not my tornadoes or psych clones not my helicopters or drones not my
