let me ask you this, when emily thornbury says that labour should come out now in favour of a second.” i am asking you to give me your views in this debate. i have given my position. this is your chance to give your position tonight. do you agree with the foreign secretary? — shadow foreign secretary?” agree with the foreign secretary? — shadow foreign secretary? i want to unite the country. every politician says that. as of the question! it is the important one within your party. do you agree or disagree —— answer the question. it is an important debate that's going on. what side of the debate are you on?” debate that's going on. what side of the debate are you on? i am part of discussing with our communities and membership where we go but let me ta ke membership where we go but let me take you back... no, no, don't take us take you back... no, no, don't take us back. take us forward. why are you so reluctant? this is the desperate attempt to put labour into a box that says you only represent 48%. a box that says you only represent 4896. excuse me! it is not an attempt to put labour

england football, andi i brought them an england football, and i will public get in trouble with emily thornburyvices, who knows? she returned fire by buying them a brazilian kit. i grasp the nettle and took one of my sons to one side and took one of my sons to one side and said, you have got a big decision to make, possibly the biggest decision, who will you support, england or brazil? he took ten minutes to think about it and then he came back and said, i have made my decision, i will be supporting them 50—50. then there is a pause and he says, i think i will be supporting england in the first half of the competition. i could hear my wife from the other room saying, not another politician of the family! i love my country with a passion, i want my children to have a strong british identity, but i also want them to have global horizons. i want that for my boys and our country. being proud to be british means we have got to make the case for the union, from the tech start—ups to the thriving trade of aberdeen‘s harbours. to creative and digital hubs to the family farms i visited recently. we shou
