it has labor the protests are kratz change u.k. the greens the pex party and he kep and additionally in scotland the s.n.p. in wales played comey i did not an island the d.d.p. sion fame s.-t. o.-p. all taking it as party on the alliance party as well as a number of candidates sounding as independents but feist to scotland alex. and i'm joined from glasgow by the doyen of scottish political journalism a woman who's been covering scottish elections since alaska with a tunnel action of 1000 some to 4 i'm delighted to be joined by refreshment i'm not sure i'm delighted to be carbon dated clay that alex ruth the party of the main party leader says gemma carbon boss johnson a both been in scotland last week but neither visit was an annoyed success nor toll in fact boris johnson has taken a leaf of the tories i'm a pre-book and he's been going round in kind of hermetically sealed ports you see i

mean he went to enter distillery but or only only journalists an authorised people were allowed in there was no punters unload into us can questions and when somebody remonstrated with them from the press corps he said well you're a voter aren't you so he sees is being kept well away from anything resembling the electorate and jeremy corbyn well jeremy corbin came up and there had a lot of difficulty 1st of all he changed his pitch on a 2nd independence referendum 3 times the space of 2 days which is never much of a good look and then he is using terrorism so no i don't think they'll look but with fondness and their school john but then of course scottish political journalists have something of a reputation and i seem to remember that even the formidable our stock combo was a bit wobbly of scott his john morris is not without due cause i do think i listed a terrifically good press up here either but and tony blair certainly didn't so this so this suspicion of them english leaders coming over the border for a quick suit is has got of very checkered history. but i have

a joyous one son i mean previously when there's been scottish leaders of the liberal democrats one thinks of the late charles kennedy there's been quite a liberal bone so as a result of that is that any sign of a swenson balance i don't really think so you know i'm trying to be fair here but charlie kennedy as so we both know was an enormously popular figure. of the border i mean he was a he to greet their personal charisma and charm juice winson i don't think can emily that and also she's i mean she's still very much a tyrell party leader and i think people are recalling from the suggestion that she's put yourself forward as an alternative for prime minister after 2 minutes in the job and have been in the green halls and in the but i accept party as i am is saying that they're going to cut the mustard in any seat in scotland i can't see or certainly in the case of the of the breaks that park here there is absolutely nor we whatsoever that they're going to be lucky to get into triple figures in some of the places are standing i would guess just let you keep they heard me you know they

hardly resorted to here in scotland the greens atlas lately different position they do a little bit better in hollywood relations because we have proportional representation of a canine here which hello some of the smaller parties to get in with a shoat on a 1st past the post i don't live there any chance a toll they have interesting lee been persuaded to stand down from 2 of the seats where the s.n.p. incumbent has a very tiny majority on the grounds that there's no point in damaging the pru independents food so what problems for the other parties the s.n.p. rating high of the unassailable for the rest of the scamp it i don't think so although i do think one of their great problems know who is going to be managing expectations people keep talking about them we would be more than 50 seats which of course they did in 2015 and win the last 21 of the seats in 2017 people thought it was a great setback and in some ways i suppose it was but considering that previously the jury had ever had 6 swiss minister seats i think that they were doing we'll.

there prob are my thing as i see is to money takes pictish ans the current polling suggests they might get about $46.00 seats which is which is not too shabby at $100.00 to me the true by far and i'm effect of it and to play in scotland that as a potential european referendum attracts a laugh and i'm on a scottish and the pan the sapphire and the height of these 2 issues and much together and towns of the election debate well it's quite interesting actually because both the lib dems and the scottish national party are both in favor of referendums on europe breaks that referendums and it's the chronology of that that will prove interesting for the scottish national party however the liberal democrat party are in a bit of a plane because of very much in favor of a 2nd breaks at referendum but very much opposed to a 2nd you care for intimate of course that leaves them open to the charge of hypocrisy i think the s.n.p. have got problems it is much as a 3rd of the s.n.p. voters are partly voted leave who are as nicholas sturgeon and the scottish

national party have put forward a very positive prudery mean stance and they've also put forward a very positive desire for a 2nd breaks at referendum i don't know whether that will harm them or not public forecast what do you expect to happen in the 2nd half of this march well unless things change dramatically from who they are at the moment i would expect the conservatives who have 13 seats no to lose. a proportion of these perhaps a 3rd of them because of course ruth davidson is no longer the leader of the tory party in scotland i would expect the labor party to lose some seats as well and they'll be a lot of interest in the 2 s.n.p. seats which have tiny tainui juric he's everybody's going to be quite close attention i would imagine to these 2 constituencies professional for vasco thank you very much my pleasure. there's been no shortage of controversy north or south of the border but if any of it shifted the dial on the storm toward elite were bars johnson the principal boys through this whole ponce mine season i put upon

a war on any accurate through the backs of parliament to jamma can they sustain their predictive powers for the final stages of the christmas campaign and then by last time out they were in shock disagreement about likely outcomes but what did they think night over to the panel in conversation with alex though you join me refer prestigious panel of political pundits if anyone knows what's going to happen in this christmas election then they will we've got peter oborne professor richard murphy and of course led by the opec they're people of what you said last time you were on at the start of the election campaign you thought bob was johnson might be heading for a bit of trouble doesn't look like that so far no i as ever i miscalculated. i felt that the the liberals and labor would get their act together much more that they're fighting each other they obviously hate each other more than the they hate the tories which is quite unusual. and to the left there hasn't been anything like

a romane or alliance which i thought might develop and then on the other side we've seen what i'm quite convinced although this conflicting signals that there's been some form of deal between the british fire arjan and the tories which means that the breakthrough threat to the tory voters has really capsized a little bit what was your point you said that if there was such a deal there'd be plain sailing for boris johnson but been wonderful i says it was a you know a lot of the deal with the much of a deal when he withdraws these candidates and doesn't get anything for it well i was right about the deal and whether it's you know lunch or or behind closed doors it doesn't matter what far as has done as given is given the tories a clear run in 317 seats now the still a slight problem here because in some of the other marginal seats. the farmers threat could still be something of a problem but by and large they've got that clear run there is another deal as well which we've forgotten about the lib dems the greens and clive coming to us

nationalists but that's virtually irrelevant i don't think like company were expecting to win many seats and can't for example and so as a result of that we've got the exact deal i thought was necessary to get the conservatives the overall majority was a project of the last time. in the one policy which is perhaps cut through the fog has been the british broadband policy by labor but that commanded the agenda at least for the deal so why hasn't more people rallying to it started where it isn't it it's one of the cheapest things that labor could have announced compared to the big plans on infrastructure spending and so on and yet it caught attention because it was universal and that does appeal to a lot of people and i suspect the ease working in some constituencies why didn't it go better because it wasn't sold as a job creation tool this isn't an incremental business policy which some people put it that it's a progress of policy or you were you saying is that jonah carbon should have gone to barnsley or said it's british broadband for bums lee and several 1000 jobs i

still don't understand why he doesn't say this is a jobs in every constituency policy the problem with this though is it's going to happen anyway commercial demands will eventually make this occur and as you said yourself it was big for a day but however hard core been is trying to divert the election away from the other succeeded so we get back to the problem that they haven't really got a policy and that writes them out of the script i think there's another issue here which is very important is that the is a massive media bias against corbin in favor of jobs and so call being comes up a brilliant idea by the way you're wrong it was going to happen anyway there was no universal free broadband there we're talking about the you're but so you think the . i know what he is that. he was a brilliant policy and of course because the are not playing on

a level playing field that the ref is on the other side. it's very very hard for corbin to get his messages across but i'm sure they have the last election that was to say and yet the momentum started for call but couldn't win the 2nd half of a carbon revival i think it's perfectly possible because we are now getting to the stage where the there are regulatory reasons why the all the media the broadcast media to be fair it anyway. so join us after the break with our prestigious paul no one so the key question of who's going to buy the tukey dinner and who have to make do with the left overs joy listen.

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. this is a story about what happens on astra stray bullets kills a young girl in the street. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed. a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court b b

nothing is extraordinarily risky you know world with some point 5000000000 people and a whole series of over ancient technologies that are not necessarily suitable for tomorrow. welcome back no our panel are going to answer the key question of who is going to win this christmas election but just imagine for a 2nd you've been reconciled for the liberal democrats and you're sitting in the walled room at this half we stage an election campaign what would your advice be to his advice 1st of all stay out salute the resolute on remained this time they've got traction they're clearly the remain party for england and the 2nd thing is get the leaders and media training she's coming across as a lightweight it might be fixable but she just looks like she's winching and that isn't effective so she needs to build that gravitas but keep the message but what's

the contrast we've had some constituency polls which should look like good news for the liberal democrats possible to oversleep the national polls flatlined or even going don't work there's no mystery there the liberal democrats simply aren't going to poll well across the country they're going to get a relatively small percentage but it's concentrated that's how they're going to make some gains and i think they will make some gains but they'll let lots of those no hope see to crash and burn and that suppresses the national poll it doesn't really matter what they got nationally what really matters is what they get in there maybe 20 or 30 seats they hope to when the professor virtue of buffy you'll know reconciled to the labor party they want you back in as an advisor you're sitting in their walled room at the halfway stage of this election campaign what would your advice be get off the fence say yes we're going to have a 2nd referendum we are going to ask you again because the facts have changed and

we respect that that gives you the chance for another vote but we're going to recommend remains because leave is going to cost you money so labor has to actually say we believe in remain but we will listen to you again and if you disagree we'll do what you want but we're not going to sit on the fence which jeremy corbyn is which. he say i'll stand by and watch whatever it is he said she had come into a position that john mcdonnell and many others in the shadow cabinet would agree but that of course it's generally called and he doesn't so he's got to listen to his key colleagues and go with them do you think this is solvable the campaign that is the is the lead of the tories probably unbridgeable or could be momentum for labor in the next few weeks i don't think labor is going to get a majority of seats in this election i think that's beyond their reach do i think the labor could form a minority of ministration with support of other parties without necessarily going into code if bars johnson makes it to 320 seats or above that is the full house i'm directed to deliver it if you start continues that means 315 from the last election

then the parliament is back in its well hung state and we may even be heading for a new your own core and the shape of yet another election 310 or below for potus then the quality to acquire a minority government not so much everyone will coalition as perhaps you talk to one another where if it takes over a year it doesn't all get pantos the main protagonists would be well advised to be heat to that well worn warning look behind you. next week alex returns to catalonia to interview the minister of digital policies and public administration he says the spanish government moving towards a klotz eye on the social media of the belly is provence is the next challenge for the catalonia independence movement going to be maintaining their presence online as well as on the street but until then from alex and me and all the show it's good bye for now and we hope to see you they.
