of the delay has been waiting for this report that was commissioned by the former home secretary amber ruddand there was a suggestion that amber rudd had been looking for this report to do something in particular with regards to looking into european migration and actually it is kind of knock on what was expected —— not done what was expected, but it has caused quite backlash, concern about industry and many sectors that do need lower skilled workers post brexit and very concerned about who will take thejobs brexit and very concerned about who will take the jobs that are needed. quite strong language from concerned parties on that. absolutely. because asjoe says, it is unexpectedly helpful to theresa may in that she wants a fairly restrictive approach to immigration after brexit. she doesn't want to give preferential access to our labour market to the eu, and this report backs her up in that and that is causing backlash which is on the front of the guardian and my own independent, from businesses who say they need this big pool of unskilled, relatively low paid work, and the nhs and public

i remember many times amber rudd talking about the muggy tree. in the last generation. in all the abates that we re generation. in all the abates that were going on. but in that speech she was very much talking about prime minister in waiting. there was a lot of stuff in the papers this morning about how his rhetoric and his statesmanlike myth has improved. this is a very differentjeremy corbyn to the one we saw clambering onto a stage nervously three years ago when he became the labour leader. what was the reaction like? he talked in his speech about labour being a broad church, and the need to unify. a lot of what he had to say in the start appeal to a big pa rt say in the start appeal to a big part of the labour party. very much a part of the new labour thinking of tony blair and those that followed in the middle ground. -- labour. a lot of that new labour thinking was not in liverpool this week. they just did not turn up. people say this morning he was trying to appeal to the people in the room. there is real ha rd left to the people in the r

the first person who came to my mind was amber rudd, who had not done much media since she left homewas reached where i looked at the panel we had and i thought, that's a great panel. and i was talking to a colleague, we discussed the fact that it was an all—women panel. when you cast a panel, you look and say are you comfortable with that panel? and we were. it was the best panel we could hope for. it wasn't a stunt, it was a genuine process by whereby we ended up with, and we included laura kuenssberg and anushka astha na and camilla tominey, it was a strong panel and happen to be of women. some viewers did ask would you have done that with an all—male panel? wouldn't you say, we need to have some balance? there is a context here. for many years, we were used to seeing all—male panels. for many years, we have had a problem with under—representation of women who representjust over half of the population, so it's no secret there is a concerted effort within the bbc to choose the best guests, but also to try and achieve at least 50—50 parity between the genders. i didn't arrive at thi

amber rudd run the department, she carried on with what theresa may did, she couldn't stand up to theresaterms of where it stands in the pecking order in people's mines, is it beginning to move up? you mentioned london —— people's mines. in london it's very current. some of the stabbings of young people over the summer and over 2018 have been horrific. it is difficult not to be deeply moved by some of those crimes. to think that it is any way linked to funding cuts, which is an argument that lots of people put forward, itjust means it isa of people put forward, itjust means it is a very live issue, something that will definitely shape the upcoming mayor of london selection. i wanted to point out a little thing in this article, when you talk about cuts. tangible things, it means fewer breathalyser test, fewer fixed penalty notices, fewer convictions for drugs trafficking and possession. these are really important things and particularly fewer convictions for drug trafficking and if that is a direct link we should be really worried about that. let's move back to the guardian there. women in

that is why this report was commissioned in the first place by the former home secretary, amber rudd, element that will appeal to theresa may is the idea that there will be no preferential treatment for eu citizens. this may help her control who comes into the country and what kind of skill there is will be. but there is a question mark over this, because people are looking at a future trade deal with the eu and often those kind of trade deals talk about some kind of give and take and so about some kind of give and take and so you might get a better deal if you give that to other. kenneth clarke said you have to be careful what you bring in, because it is likely whatever system we have for eu citizens, that will be the same for british people who want to work elsewhere. i think it is difficult for politicians and difficult for theresa may, she is having to reconcile the anxiety that we saw that many people have about the levels of immigration, reconciling that with the needs that we hear so often from businesses, and we hear from the treasury saying the british economy needs these wor

the current home secretary sajid javid, amber rudd, and, of course, theresa may herself. the public and they‘d need to commission a survey. it cannot be right, the home office has no strategy and no understanding of what the consequences of cuts has been. that was diane abbott. chief constable dave thompson, national police chiefs‘ council lead for finance is in birmingham now. good afternoon. good afternoon. were you watching the home secretary?” saw potter of the speech. do you think he does get it?|j saw potter of the speech. do you think he does get it? i think the national audit report today lays out a narrative that i think the police service recognises but i would also say that ministers and the work done at the home office, there is a realisation of this challenge and is important we address the issues in the report. which means more money for police, resourcing and pay?|j for police, resourcing and pay?” think there are a number of things the report points to. police co nsta bles the report points to. police constables and crime commissioners would say the servic

but now the government opened up a review, last november under amber rudd, to look into having a nationalny clinics. see you're not saying that you do not wa nt you're not saying that you do not want the protest to happen but if they are happening you want the matter distance from the clinics? ‘s that's right. it is 100 metre radius in ealing because it is upsetting for women to have this. with any other nhs procedure you would not have, i don't know, and obesity clinic and people with placards saying that that people should be banned or something. it isjust not appropriate for them to be outside the clinic and in ealing there is a safe zone where they are allowed to do it, which is not in view of the gates and it is limited in number because it felt like a mob mentality often. so when you take your campaign now? is question in the house of commons this morning and the equalities minister seemed synthetic. what they seem to be saying in their conclusion is that the numbers are not sufficient. but i think the numbers are not sufficient. but ithink any the numbers are not sufficient. but i

and there were words of caution and the home secretary, amber rudd. the conservative party split?d i think that is the point. when mps are given a final deal and they have to look at what the alternatives are, you do wonder how the parliamentary arithmetic might change in the next few months. and then there is the issue of doris johnson, waiting in the wings, some would say. interestingly, he has refused to sign up to an alternative vision to the chequers arrangement. he did not want to do that. the brexiteers have decided not to publish their alternative vision. many will feel that boris johnson is probably preoccupied with his private life. the announcement that he is getting divorced. but i don‘t think that. the speculation about him, his role and any potential readership it. thanks, vicky. let‘s go to brussels. what has michel barnier actually said?” let‘s go to brussels. what has michel barnier actually said? i have no wish to stop the pound from soaring or doing anything else on foreign exchanges. there was a flurry of excitement when michel barnier was reported as having be
