the only people who are obsessed with tony blair coming back to bush politics are jeremy tony blair comingics as being whatever tony blair did, they are against it. the rest of us have moved on. on balance, tony blair was a good prime minister, but it was some time ago. he started 20 years ago and ended ten yea rs he started 20 years ago and ended ten years ago. but has mr blair moved on? i sense he is keen on the idea. no, he doesn't want to stand as an mp. but he wants to contribute to the public debate and he cares about the question of europe passionately. to be said to him, he is the most articulate exponent of the point of view which says we have to do whatever we can to stop brexit, because it is not in the national interest. i think he ex presses national interest. i think he expresses that well. i disagree, but the country should hear it. owen jones, what do you think of the possibility of a tony blair return in whatever role he may end up in? first off, lots of good stuff happened with tony blair — minimum wage, tax on privatised utilities, peace in northern ireland, we could go

people talk about tony blair as if he were apr talk about tony blair as if he were a pr creation, butounded in terms of practical ideas that can be put into effect. whatever people think of the period that he spent in government, he was very focused on the details of policy and he had a profound impact on the nature of the country during the ten years he was prime minister. i think he wants to encourage debate about ideas back onto the sort of territory that he thinks is important. central to that is brexit, of course. very quickly, do you think it is going to work? yes. 0k! thank you very much. both candidates in the french presidential election have been holding rallies in the final week of campaigning. the far right contender marine le pen has attacked her rival as the "continuity candidate", while emmanuel macron said the future of europe is at stake in this election. 0ur correspondent lucy williamson is in paris. the second round of french elections has been the graveyard of far right dreams of power. used to facing a united front of all her rivals, marine le pen is now calling o

has mr blair moved on? iget time to move on. has mr blair moved on? different role? but he wants to contribute to the public debate and ca res contribute to the public debate and cares about the question of europe and he is to be fair to him the most articulate exponent of the point of view that says we have to do what we can to stop brexit because it is not in our national interest and he ex presses in our national interest and he expresses that very well. i don't agree with him but i think the company should hear it. owen jones what you think of a return of tony blair in whatever role he may be in? first of all lots of good thing happened with tony for, minimum wage, windfall tax on private utilities, public investment, peace in northern ireland, we could go on. the problem with tony blair is that he could have gone down in history asa he could have gone down in history as a great prime minister but the iraq war is something which many people find difficult to get over. that's because at the time people protested against the iraq war, we we re prote

far more comfortable with jeremy corbyn than tony blair.since he punched a voter, he is a bit of a character. at the comedy awards... he got a bucket of water or champagne tipped over him, at the brit awards. the ice buckets challenge, orsomething, brit awards. the ice buckets challenge, or something, wasn't it(!) that was something entirely different. i was buying it later on. the green party has called for bold action on the environment, education, welfare and brexit at the launch of its manifesto. the party's co—leader, caroline lucas, said they had "very distinct" plans for a universal basic income and a shorter working week aiming for a "confident and caring" nation. this election is about what kind of future we want for our children. it is about protecting our values of openness, of compassion, of cooperation. it's about our promise that a confident and caring future is possible if we work together, if we do politics differently, and if we dare to be more ambitious. sinn fein has unveiled its election manifesto. their plans include a

tony blair had some big majorities. tony blair is 1997 majority. i do not think a huge majority. i do not think a huge majority is a terribly good idea. it is something voters ought to be wary of and also some of the promises she has made have proved not to be worth trusting so you have to also think about whether or not you want a prime minister who can do anything she wants. a quick look at the sunday times, one story which is interesting is attack dogs would be used to protect parliament under plans being drawn up after the terror attack on westminster a few weeks ago, attack dogs to guard parliament. yeah, dogs at the gate. they have been trying to come up with ways to make sure parliament as a fortress but still a democratic building. it is a balance. they do not want all the shutters up and i think this is one way to do it but whether having rottweilers at the door is going to... the dogs in the house of commons are cute and sniff for bombs. they are lovely. the idea of rottwe ile rs for bombs. they are lovely. th

reagan and clinton appealed to people outside their own parties as did thatcher and blair. that at the moment. theresa may is the most successful politician at doing this. there is no aspiration when you look atjeremy corbyn? absolutely not. a labour spokesman said wait for the manifesto. we have to get the manifesto passed by a committee. that manifesto will be exactly what you want, aspirational, not just for poor people, for middle—class people. we heard no policies so far. all the policies — i would agree there's been a — 20 point plan earlier this week. what will come will be a four or five point plan that has to out drama the drama queen of downing street. i think it will. that's why i'm hoping hopeful we can stop a tory government. we have run out of time. thank you all very much. thank you for coming in. well, what a pretty exciting day in politics, wasn't it? we wouldn't want you to take that adrenaline with you to bed. so we thought we'd send you off with a reading of something from the boring conference, being held tomorrow. a list of every sneeze one man has mad

with me isjohn mcternan, former labour advisor and tony blair's director of operations.rastructure, skills and public services, an end to rig system for the rich making the country for people who can lead richer lives. what is not to like? it sounds like donald trump, with a soft accent. what is not to like, promises are only as good as the majority that you can get. jeremy corbyn cannot get a majority and cannot deliver a single one of his promises. and he cannot tell you how he can fund any of those promises. and i've yet to hear him give a convincing description of the detail of any single one of those policies. the manifesto is coming out soon and that will be fully costed, they say and have all the details in there. and you —— if he can back up all the rhetoric, why would people not vote for that? in the end of voters look to see if there is a potential leader or potential prime minister. they look atjeremy corbyn and do not see the ship, barely a leader of the opposition. they cannot seem in meetings with european union, at the g8, andi meetings with european union

at a meeting in ireland — tony blair says northern ireland must be a special case in brexit talks.ugh there will be difficult challenges for relations, we need to safeguard that as much as possible and minimise any potential damage. thousands of weapons have been seized in schools across england and wales in the past two years. also, dreams become virtual reality for one british tech firm... improbable manages raises almost £400 million in one of the biggest ever investments in an early stage european technology business. and... a close shave for paddle boarders in calfornia, after they're warned they're swimming next to 15 great white sharks. good morning. it's friday 12th may. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, is to give a major foreign policy speech — in about half an hour s time — in which he is likely to say that he doesn't see himself as a pacifist, because he would use military force as a last resort — but that he believes military intervention has become far too common in recent times. mr corbyn was chair of an anti—war grou

i do think one of the lesson that has come out of this is that we know, this is true with tony blairth david cameron, he had a very sort of gilded circle, it does seem that prime ministers of all parties are to you eager tojust prime ministers of all parties are to you eager to just listen to a very few voices and they tend to govern much better when they listen toa govern much better when they listen to a wider cabinet and consult a bit more. that is probably a lesson that needed to be learned by mrs may, as it was learned by her predecessor. i suspect after this, she will... one thing that is good about her is that she does listen. she campaigned for a mane and now she is carrying through lees, but she listened,. i don't think she will make this mistake again. they get up this morning and say, prime minister, we've got to get rid of this, how do we've got to get rid of this, how do we get rid of the policy? what we do, prime minister, we ditched the policy, how do we explain that? we say that nothing has changed. but who do we blame? we can't blame cabinet ministers or the head of

if it was 10%, as tony blair experienced in ‘97, five more would become conservative.icted, a uniform 5% swing would deliver them one conservative seat, 10% swing, three. unlike in the general election, voters in the region's first mayoral contests get two votes, a first choice and second preference if that candidate is eliminated, which makes this battle interesting to outside eyes, as it will give an insight into where supporters of the smaller parties might transfer allegiance. whether brexit ukip voters prefer labour or the tories for example. is there much of a market for a liberal democrat offer in somewhere that votes brexit? people are unhappy with the cuts the conservative government has implemented in this region and i am picking up discontent among labour voters. i do not think it is as clear as you suggest. it is an open situation. as for ukip, has the party lost its appeal since the referendum? sometimes they say what is the point of ukip? but when you explain brexit is a long way away and there are a lot of negotiations to do. we want to be a mainstream p

raising the threat level to critical is a major and raising the threat level to critical is a majorand blairhreat level to critical is a major and blair move by uk security chiefs, though not unprecedented. it is the first time the assessment has been placed at the assessment has been placed at the top of five levels for more than a decade. it means that hundreds of troops will be deployed at key sites gci’oss troops will be deployed at key sites across the united kingdom under police command. it is now concluded, on the basis of today's investigations, that the threat level should be increased, for the time being, from severe colour to critical. this means that their assessment is not only that an attack remains highly likely, but that a further attack may be imminent. investigators can't say for sure whether the bombing suspect, salman abedi, acted alone, oi’ suspect, salman abedi, acted alone, or with others. the highest level is decided by thejoint or with others. the highest level is decided by the joint terrorist analysis centre, a group of experts based at mi5 in london. the police ha

since 2007 when tony blair was in charge they agreed that trident would be renewed.tment every year. in fa ct, been a commitment every year. in fact, last year they agreed it. earlier this week they agreed it. so you would imagine it would be a simple question to the shadow foreign secretary who could be the foreign secretary who could be the foreign secretary who could be the foreign secretary in the weeks. this was put to her and it was asked that presumably we could assume that they programme would be renewed. no, of course not. therefore, it is possible thatjeremy corbyn could drive through a policy of ditching trident? the policy is that we... i know what it is, but i am asking if it could change in the future. but overwhelmingly we need to make sure that our policy is up to date and meets 21st—century that our policy is up to date and meets 21st—ce ntury threats that our policy is up to date and meets 21st—century threats and no one can disagree with that, surely. there was a time when we gave up on sabres or horses. she is driving coach and horses through labo

it was a slogan used by tony blair, now revived by labour's new leadership. by tony blair, now revivedbig deal to upgrade the economy, john mcdonnell promised not to raise vat or national insurance for anyone, but said the top 5% of earners would pay more. if labour is elected next month, we will guarantee for the next five years, there will be no income tax rises, for all those earning less than £80,000 a year. rises, for all those earning less labour is now the party of low taxes for middle and lower earners. mr mcdonnell said people earning more than £80,000 a year would pay a modest amount more but the rates and details would have to wait for the manifesto. and details would have the conservatives have promised not to raise vat but have so far made no matching pledge on national insurance or income tax. today, the tories said labour was going back to the past. this is a clear statement of intent. was going back to the past. they want to raise taxes, they want to penalise business, they want to penalise wealth creation and i think they will end up wrecking the economy as they have d

you thought that because since 2007, when tony blair was that because since 2007, when tony blairwasse since 2007, when tony blair was in charge of the labour party, they agreed the policy, that trident would be renewed. the nuclear deterrent will be renewed. that has been a commitment, every year, they've agreed. last year, in a policy forum, they agreed it. earlier this week, in the manifesto, they agreed it. you'd imagine it would be quite a simple question to emily thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, who could be foreign secretary, who could be foreign secretary in three weeks' time, and this was put by lbc‘s ian dale. he said, "if the labour party gets into power, presumably we can assume that the trident programme will be renewed." this is what she said. no, of course not. if you're going to have a review, you have a review. so it is possible thatjeremy corbyn as prime minister could drive through a policy of ditching trident. the policy of ditching trident. the policy is, labour party policy is that we — policy is, labour party policy is that we - i know what it is. i'm

i agree with blair. consolidation is on everyone's mind, virtually every news story that comes out in this space, it is going to dominate the press for a while. the area i would go to, it echoes comments meredith made, the way we create jobs in the telecommunications space is dig up streets and when meredith talks about 150,000 small cell towers, that is the way the telecommunications companies, broadband companies in this country really really create jobs across the board. i think tax reform is going to be a dominant policy if you look at the tax rates paid by the largest investors in this country, telecommunications companies are at the top of that list and percentages that they pay in corporate income tax are very very high. we could reform that and reform tax code to free up more capital for investment but also to change the way we look at the investment that is made the could go a long way towards clearing the way to building the 5g networks of the future and when you think of the 5g networks, we th

the conservatives have led the blair message which is unique to occupy the centre ground to win and win. people are aware she is a landslide ahead. it seems an ideal time to make difficult choices. she was asked at the launch whether she was asked at the launch whether she was asked at the launch whether she was a thatcherite. she is not rejecting that out right but she is not saying... she does not want to avoid with the thatcherites. we mentioned the mirror. we must make sure we give it a fair crack. they are not happy! this i did a 10 million pensioners will lose the winter fuel payments is something the mirror canjump on. there was not a lot of legroom for them to get much in this manifesto that they have jumped on this and rightly so. when they say will be pensioners, we still do not have that definition of what that is. there are those people who are not wondering around in diamond encrusted shoes. some people do rely on this is that little bit extra to see them through. they made not beyond the breadline but it may be something they are accustomed to. but it is part of that packa

raising the threat level to critical is a major and blair moved by uk security chiefs are those notnted. it is the first time placed at the top of the five levels ina placed at the top of the five levels in a decade. it means hundreds of troops will be deployed under police command. it is now concluded, on the basis of today's investigation, that the threat level should be increased for the time being from severe to critical. this means it that their assessment is that only that an attack remains likely, but that a further attack may be imminent. investigators cannot say for sure whether the bomber, salman abedi, acted alone or with the help of others. it is decided by a task force made up of police and agencies. it has been asked to deploy a number of armed military personnel in support of police officers. this request is part of a well—established plan known as operation tempora. that puts soldiers into public places to support police. all the extra police office rs support police. all the extra police officers will be augmented by military support. the first phase, those of milit

he was first minister for almost a decade but wasn't tony blair's choice as labour leader in wales.took over following the resignation of his predecessor, alan michael, and is widely credited with having brought stability to the fledgling institution which had a turbulent start. he was the person who took the assembly from being something that was still not hugely supported, not widely supported by the people of wales, not anything like supported as it is now to being an institution people understand and is very much a part of the lives of the people in wales. this is too much. let's get it into touch! he was a proud welshman who loved sport, sharing the nation's passion for rugby and not afraid to let it show. rhodri morgan didn't have the polished appearance of many modern—day politicians and didn't speak in the usual sound bites, either. rhodri morgan, will you run again for leadership of the welsh labour party? do one—legged ducks swim in a circle?! he's been remembered at the welsh assembly and as a mark of respect, election campaigning was suspended here today. the tributes to
