that was the shadow health secretary, talking to andrew marr.ef executive of the health foundation, an independent health charity. she welcomes the promises to improve mental health and other nhs services, but she says making them a reality will be tough given growing pressures on services, chronic staff shortages, and cuts to other parts of the health and care system. it is probably the biggest issue facing the nhs. we have 100,000 staff shortages out of our 1.2 million, that is nearly one in 11. workforce planning over the past few years has not been adequate at all, it has been weak and there are added worries with brexit and possible exodus of eu staff, much valued, who might leave. workforce planning is a weakness that needs to be addressed, and that is what we look forward to the plan. it is really to be welcomed, that investment. so, £20 billion by 2023—24. that is above inflation, indeed. are you satisfied that is enough for the health service? our calculations show that is enough to keep the nhs ticking over, really. if you want to have

on the andrew marr show this morning. e floated on the andrew marr show this morning. one thing andrew fox —— liam fox is against is the idea of a customs union. that is labour's policy and some have suggested the prime minister want to pivot towards that position to win over some labour mps to potentially get the deal through. liam fox was scathing of that idea this morning, saying it would not honour one of the key pillars of delivering brexit which is having your own trade policy after we leave. you have a leave population and remain parliament. parliament hasn't got the right to huack parliament hasn't got the right to hijack the brexit process because parliament said to the people of this country, we make a contract with you, you make the decision and we will honour it. we are getting is someone we will honour it. we are getting is someone who are opposed to the results of the referendum trying to huack results of the referendum trying to hijack brexit and steal the result from the people. that was liam fox and an int

the shadow health secretary speaking on the andrew marr show.xecutive of nhs providers. what are your thoughts about the government's plans which are going to be unveiled, a long—term strategy, they say, a ten year strategy, they say, a ten year strategy for the nhs in england? the important place to start is probably the context. it has been a difficult last four years for the nhs. we have been under real pressure, rising demand, workforce shortages, the longest and deepest financial squeeze in nhs history. we have not been providing patients with the access to care that we would want, we have crowded a&e departments, and staff saying that their workload has become almost impossible. the next piece of context that is important, although the extra money is welcome, the reality is that itjust keeps pace with the average increase that the nhs has received since it was created in 19118. we need to be careful about how much this extra money can buy. what we are hoping for is a realistic plan tomorrow thatis for is a realistic plan tomorrow that is r

what we had from jeremy corbyn today speaking to andrew marr was again him being cryptic about when butiving us the suggestion it could be sooner rather than later. we will table a motion of no confidence in the government at a time of our choosing but it is going to be soon, don't worry about that. barry gardiner used the word immediately, that's why i'm perhaps getting over excited but i'm assuming that you'll do it very quickly? andrew, don't get too excited about it! there's only two days to wait until the vote. it's myjob. i know it's yourjob but it's two days to wait until the vote. we'll have the vote and then you'll see. still no real clarity, hinting it will happen quickly but clearly there seems to be a great deal of tactics in all this. in the meantime, the prime minister and other senior ministers are desperately appealing to mps to get behind her. it's that last ditch attempt from the prime minister today. this vote is meant to happen in december and it was delayed, partly to try to give the pm more time to win over mps but it looks like she could still lose significantly a

the brexit secretary told the andrew marr show that he was surprised that the speaker of the house hadhe parliamentary timetable last week and warned that could be a sign of things to come. the uncertainty, in terms of what will happen in the house, has increased and so those on the brexiteer side seeking ideological purity with a deal, are risking brexit because there is a growing risk that evidence could unfold in ways, so they are leaving the door ajar to ways that could increase the risk. at an anti—austerity protest in london yesterday the records for another general election. the labour leader has been pushing for that but he has remained somewhat cryptic on what his party would do on brexit if they were in power and on when they might try to topple the government. we will table a motion of no confidence in the government at a time of our choosing but it is going to be soon, don't worry about that. barry gardiner has used the word immediately. i'm getting overexcited perhaps but i'm assuming you would do it very quickly? andrew, don't get too excited about it. there is only two d

speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr programme, mr corbyn said a prospect of a no—deal would be a nightmarely, if theresa may's deal is voted down and clearly a general election takes place and a labour government comes in, an election would take place, what? february, march time. clearly, there is only a few weeks then between that and the leave date. there would have to be a time for those negotiations. now, maybe for the reasons you have given already, you seem very reluctant about the idea of another referendum. can i ask you, if theresa may's deal is voted down, if you don't get the general election you want to, we are into the new area as described in the labour motion from the conference, do you then go for a people's vote? we are then into that consideration, at that point, but we have to go through these stages first. what is your own view of that? my own view is that i would rather get a negotiated deal now, if we can, to stop the danger of a no—deal exit from the eu on the 29th of march, which would be catastrophic for industry, catastrophic for trade, and the long—term effects o

for anyone who caught the prime minister on andrew marr could have been forgiven if they wa nted couldemselves away with the christmas decorations because nothing changed. still making the same promises about getting the assurances from the eu about the irish border and the vote will be next week and she is almost certain to lose. the one thing that did seem to lose. the one thing that did seem to be fresh, perhaps, was hinting that if she loses the vote next week, she won't give up and she will bring the vote back again and again and again and again, maybe. until she can get mps to vote for it, using the threat of a no—deal brexit, which is now 82 days away to force the commons to surrender and eventually pass the deal they so missed like. it became clear that mps believe she won't be able to do this. we looked at the parliamentary bible. the words are crystal clear. ifa bible. the words are crystal clear. if a motion is defeated in the comments by mps, the government cannot bring it back in the same form or even by a tweak form, cannot bring it back in the same form or even by a twea

there was one particularly egregious incident in the campaign when peni mordant went on andrew marr andr states have a veto on a large wood. —— enlargement. states have a veto on a large wood. -- enlargement. it seems extraordinary that we have the public record that they still do that and think they can get away with that. borisjohnson, it happens to be this time, will be 20 of other exa m ples to be this time, will be 20 of other examples from all sides. the obvious examples from all sides. the obvious example is donald trump. at the moment it seems that whoever shouts loudest gets listened to. whether what they say is true is a secondary concern. it has become personal. this was inevitable. borisjohnson says he is not being personal and he respects theresa may and what she has done so far, when he says, "go back to brussels and get the new deal without the controversial and mean it this time. ” backstop, and mean it this time." what does that mean? what a lot of brexits are saying is that if only we had someone with more spine doing this negotiation we would have a better outcome. th

looking to put in place with parliament, that the prime minister referred to in her interview on andrew marrliament in different ways, work in a targeted way with the select committees in particular, to work in a closer way with the devolved administrations, because there are different interests. i think the trade negotiation phase allows us to explore that. if i can just alluded, i think show not tell is important. my i think show not tell is important. my very first meeting was to prioritise this role, meeting with his lead minister and also from the welsh government, in terms of discussing their concerns, so we can move from having regular meetings to making those more effective and more targeted, as to how we proceed. ifi targeted, as to how we proceed. if i can make some progress. we know that there is no future trade agreements without an implementation period, without a withdrawal agreement and we can‘t have an implementation period without it. that indeed is the guarantee of citizen rights, the financial settle m e nt citizen rights, the financial settlement and the backstop. but let
