alistair campbell, thank you very much. lovely tribute there from alistair campbell.look at this morning's weather. good morning to you both. a cool star died there. a bit of mist and fog around. this is a picture from dorset, showing that low mist in the valleys. elsewhere, lots of sunshine around. that is how it will look today, apart from the north of the country. the overnight rain is slowly clearing its way northwards, soa grim slowly clearing its way northwards, so a grim start across the north—east of england and scotland, all banks to this weather front. it will continue to push its way northwards. behind that this ridge of high pressure will build thin, settling things down for much of the country. there will be a little bit of cloud across the eastern side of the country, just a few showers in the country, just a few showers in the far south—east that will clear away. you can see the rain is being confined to the northern ireland is, vast improvement from scotland into the afternoon. maybe the odd shower for western parts of northern ireland, but most places

what the key speaker alistair campbell said.ults are good. not living in denial of real question that the public are asking, real problem is that it was face up to them. so it is not to undermine jeremy corbyn say that out there in the real world people are asking the question whether he can be prime minister. they are asking whether the shadow cabinet as a team, whether we are doing the right thing brexit, the right positions on foreign policy, whether we are taking anti—semitism seriously. these are real questions. and so i think, you know, if you look at the way the tories are handling brexit, where it is all wishful thinking. there is an element of parts of the labour partyjust thinking, if we alljust sort of stopped talking and debating were all going towards into power. it doesn't work like that. at this week's collections labour did not do particularly well but the build on last year's result which was surprisingly good for labour. the suggestionjeremy corbyn is failing as a leader is off beam with most of your party's me

there was a lovely tribute from alistair campbell who obviously knew her and worked with her but theywent on holiday and he were called an incident where she was dancing around the kitchen, even when she was ill. and of course the illness was ill. and of course the illness was something she seized in a way and was determined to make something off by campaigning about it. and that speech she gave to the lords recently has resurfaced today and her comments about cancer, basically trying to make a positive from her situation. in the daily telegraph you can see that coming to fruition because the prime minister is putting aside another 20 million to go into brain cancer research. there isa go into brain cancer research. there is a legacy above, political things in regard to the illness. staying on the daily telegraph and the story about the chief of mi5 warning europe. andrew parker, a speech in an undisclosed location in berlin. he is honestly worried about the effects of brexit on security cooperation. the angle that the independent was keenest on was in saying that mi5 has stopped a te

have no ethical issue did the public service yes i mean you you did this kind of thing against alistair campbell and tony blair and someone suggests that that kind of surveillance. in the run up to the iraq war i think it was was newt you were doing this it was slightly on the air but yes it was in the run up to the war you know he didn't think that many people in this country would see that is if wanted to reveal details of the kind of economy with the truth then shown to us by the iraq inquiry of a little joke should have been worthwhile there's legislation in place to govern. the use of. illegality should be. liking the dark arts but there are specific guidelines and they don't include fishing expeditions and removing someone's. rubbish from outside their house is very clearly a fishing expedition and nothing more what happened to. the person who was telling you to go on those fishing expeditions then editor of john with her well what's interesting about john with is that following his performance and parenthesise performance at leveson he then went on to be promoted to the ship of the times

and today, speaking to this cold fronts, alistair campbell, was explaining the reasons for that.hat. i said i will be frank. and frankly, i'm finding life and politics very tough right now. i have been lucky enough to be on the winning side of arguments a lot of my life in politics. but today, with a run brexit, the direction of the labour party, the spreader populism, it doesn't feel like that any more. animals are very, very tribal person. short of putin and i said leading a consortium to buy bernie and extolling boris johnson leading a consortium to buy bernie and extolling borisjohnson as chairman and rees mogg as manager, nothing will ever challenge my foot ball nothing will ever challenge my football tribalism. but my lifelong labour tribalism is being pushed to the limit. by the return of militant style nastiness in local politics, by my utter revulsion at the anti—semitism. by measuring that some in the leadership feel animosity towards others in the patchy. self—indulgence that does so much damage to the patchy. applause by applause by seeing how badly good people workin
