we're joined now by katy balls — the deputy political editor at the spectator.ne through the documents. there is one line that sticks out to me. a very helpful explication of the areas we can expect to push, the areas where the uk may find themselves in difficult territory. that's really the point, isn't it? by that's really the point, isn't it? by the uk may not have engaged with this, it's quite clear where the us side wants to go. yes, and if you're talking about what these documents show, i don't think it shows that the nhs is being privatised, ultimately, if you look at the various comments we've had in the last couple of months and the last couple of years, we have had donald trump suggest everything is on the table in the us and uk trade deal. we have perhaps had some lodging from the uk side, and they have moved back from that. it shows that there are figures in the uk or us government that would like the price of us drugs to be discussed. there isa of us drugs to be discussed. there is a lot of cold water being poured on us is a lot of cold water being

with me are katy balls, deputy political editor at the spectator, and stephen bush, political editor we're heading towards a conservative victory but in 1997, labour was haunted by election it thought it was going to ring and failed to do. everything in this campaign is haunted by what happened in 2017, an election they expected to win heavily and ended up with the losing majority. deliberately so. i think there were some concerns that perhaps it was too dull and trying to find some policy announcements to put in it which would be enough to get a feud is of publicity out of, but ultimately because we knew lots of the things on brexit were already going to be there, since boris johnson has been in number ten, he has been on campaign mode. we knew there was a big focus on law and order, nhs, but it was more notable for what wasn‘t in it. there was no free vote on fox hunting. also on social care, there is a promise to find a cross—party solution. you can see what they are trying to avoid stop i still think there is a risk that if you compare it to label‘s ma nifesto that if you compare
