welcome back as well as welcoming a saudi auto grad u.k. prime minister to raise of a this week faces the wrath of the largest trading bloc on earth after her speech in london on friday and just a phase a divided governing party in the british parliament today on break that so what does her apparent does danger warnings about the customs union for me a negotiator me shabani a mean for her premiership and the union of nations that make up the united kingdom joining me now from his constituency in bootle is jeremy corbin's shadow chief secretary to the treasury petered out peter thanks so much for coming back on how seriously think today's meetings are between foster and o'neil with michel barnier in brussels about london breakfast well i think they're absolutely axiomatic to the

whole situation those conversations have got to go on to court to be as constructive that's possibly can and we've got to try and find common ground not just for the benefit of northern ireland and the republic but of course the rest of the country still an absolutely key and important to the continued constructive development of this issue of tourism a made it clear that technology will come to the rescue and solve all the problems that break that may create well clearly that's that's wishful thinking it's not gone technology can do significant amounts of things i think there's no doubt about that book whether they can solve all the problems is a different color fish i think the key to this is constructive dialogue dialogue where we're not yard looks likes and the likes of the foreign secretary said the most ridiculous things as each take on spike but go to the heart of this issue is a constructive dialogue and stead of all these red lines right left and center that the prime minister then seems to cross. tracey regularly you know what do you make

of the biggest foreign secretary boris johnson according to that leaked letter said that the u.k. government objective is not to maintain a no border situation with the republic of ireland. well i mean the bottom line is you don't know what's going to happen on a daily basis with the government so he says that yesterday on the day before you may see something different something different tomorrow i mean there's absolutely no consistency or continuity in the way the government to handling this so it changes bybee by the day if not by the hour so we'll have to see what what comes next what changes he makes next any dangers derived from the fact that dres arrays are only prime minister because of a de facto coalition with the formerly paramilitary linked party in the north a violent look the bottom line is this we are all trying to be because constructive

as we can the whole question of rights it would mean we all including including today the maidan but i think that we will i'm look i'm not going to down the path of saying that people are not trying to be constructive about this particular i suspect even the prime minister in some fashion is trying to be constructive put she's held prisoner she's held prisoner by factions and party so when she says one thing one day she then has a conversation again and that changes it's almost like the the last hour of russia the two most powerful people that czarist russia was the czar and the last person he spoke to and i think that's the case with trees a man if you will you've been watching that film what about the fact the brother i love has clearly threatened the prospect of a border down the middle of the irish they will look as far as i'm concerned what we've got to try to do is to reach an agreement in relation to the borders constructively as we possibly can and i think the megaphone diplomacy that the

government seems into myths in the use isn't particularly constructive so let's take initiative in relation to a customs union in the government's own customs bill coolest things he won it indicates provisions of that. happy customs union but the prime minister said we're not going to have a customs you so we've got a government bill crystal's bill before parliament in fact i was on the committees for two weeks in relation to this that explicitly states the provisions for customs union there and the next thing is is that the government say they're not going to go down the path or i just use that as an example of the complete chaos in the whole process that we're faced with with the government to there we're faced with as a country because of the governments and their rank incompetence frankly ok but wait a minute clause thirty one of the customs about the customs union think about the context surely that also has implications for your party is the desire to take back

into democratic control national health service and the railways and our energy companies but doesn't the bottom line is not i mean it's important we work on a legislative program in our country the government of the long as we've got it built before parliament proposed legislation where they enclose thirty one are talking about a customs union so they're the ones who put that on the face of the bill now if they are now saying that that isn't going to be enacted or it's not going to be an option they're going to have to take that off the bill the point i'm trying to make it's quite simple that it is chaotic so you've got something late before parliament that we've already debated both on the floor of the house and in the committee and will debate it again in a few weeks time and on their own bill they're now backing away from that i suspect the prime minister may not even realize it's in the bill ok but then let's imagine

for a second that you're not a shadow cabinet minister but you are the chief secretary to the treasury what happens when the european union negotiating with you says and the labor government says you can't bring these crucial elements of british. the under democratic control because if you want to be part of the customs union you are acting illegally when you say nationalize the railway through instance well no look the bottom line is through always are after you in the your opinion and i must fly so i don't accept that premise the bottom line is well in all this is about the stance on the tone of the negotiations i've been on your program before met met a number of times and i've spoken about this on a number of occasions whereby the tro and the constructive dialogue is all important but if you've got a government which don't know what they're doing from day to day. very state insulting the europeans and those sort of negotiations of bound to create

tensions so what you gonna get in this regard this effect of the europeans take the ticket not lie because it seems to me the only time the government sit up and listen is when your end up assessing a point and gets the government's attention to look quite simply the government hounding the whole of this negotiation partly they've done it from the beginning and here we are twelve months away from europe leaving the e.u. and we're still really none the wiser the you or do you think any of those in their own party understand what terrorism means when she has seemingly changed from friction less to as frictionless as possible when it comes to going to trade the only thing that the tory party needs is functionless not frictionless functionless because the factions in the party are actually begin to have an impact on our country now they can argue till the cows come home that covers many factions as

they want but the bottom line is it's not good for this country and they should stop this factionalism faction less the party i'm not will be of some help i suspect the country will love them a look none voc the bill the international trade fair. krycek resumes trade secretary and of course liam fox said corbin accused corbin of betraying the national interest because of his position of an attitude of look just tories always go resort to the last place of the scoundrel in a sense it's. this issue of our patriotism they do that all the time they've done it for decades every time thinking of against the hardball with and start accuse now everybody else the treacherous patri optic an all out sort of knots of men they pull our stunt you know that all chaps not so many times nobody takes a blind bit of notice of it i don't. think she's changed her view on customs union

although it is difficult to tell do you think there is a maze in danger of red lining herself out of downing street. look as far as i'm concerned i'm not interested in the political position of treason marius the prime minister of the tory government i'm interested in the best interests of the united kingdom at the end of that the and if if she behaves sensibly reasonably russian only in a constructive and partnership fashion i think we can still make this better than it could it's it looks like it's going to turn out to be lots where i'm interested in she crosses red lines all the time and it's about time she just started looking after the interests of the united kingdom and not the factions in her party that a g secretary of the treasury thank you. well i'm now joined by murdoch from the dead time for the morning thirty four years the day since the beginning of the british miners' strike murdoch we're going underground tell us

about how you became one of maggie's babies from a mining community code swaddling ten miles south of darby. my dad was a mine of a violent alcoholic and my mom worked at the pit not down the pit or in the. auntie my granddad was a miner his dad was a miner and i grew up when i was a spurs i was militarized by the same order going on a music kid in you know not really understanding what was going on for bread and milk and stuff law and what do you think about people don't even know about this history i don't think people care to be honest like i don't think north of watford i don't think air this country. is what's going on north of watford it's all about what's happening in the capito and yet issues like illiteracy i understand the days they exist in these communities yeah definitely a day yeah i mean i mean a lot of people grow up in so what we'd call a stop maybe a dull culture karna thing because it's nothing there for him and it's omar sly the

he didn't bother going to school because they're the generations that they looked up to you know the lives older than them and they didn't work or anything not so there's a lot what's the point anyone listening to the debut album is going to list inspired so many of the lyrics but. big traditional political music in this country you've toured with one half of the clash during he's been good to it will say stream of ale jerry so my foundation for new music they paid for a first couple of singles of also about that stream of. clash connection going logs for sin for a while sorry is gold really i got to say the new album has a huge big big sound we're going to hear rather exclusive acoustic bed down yet version today but i'll hang on for a second that's it for the show will be back on wednesday with longtime british socialist and at the time the man with arguably the biggest post-war mandate in western europe former mayor of london ken livingstone is the labor party extends his the suspension from his own party till then keep in contact with us by social
