they say stop, brexit. that has been the mantra, get brexit done.ome ways the size of the majority gives borisjohnson more freedom for the kind of trade deal that he negotiates? in other words, for example, he won't be oh prisoner of the erg i do and there is a very big question about next stop brexit but what sort of brexit as it? and i think actually ironically for that yards, for the hard think actually ironically for that yards, forthe hard right think actually ironically for that yards, for the hard right flank of the conservative party, the fact that borisjohnson has such a big majority actually reduces their power and the power in their party, they had a huge amount of power after david cameron and theresa may, they have held conservative prime minister is to ransom over the last nine years. now i think there influence will decline. i think borisjohnson looking influence will decline. i think boris johnson looking forward to his re—election prospects in 2024, we may see him start to back away from the very heart brexit represented by the very

guy: a resolution to brexit.pectations are there in brussels that we will see a trade deal done in december 2020? maria: that is where the mood music sounds different in brussels. so bigade deal will be and important, and for the eu this is key when they look at long-term perspectives. they do worry about the u.k. becoming a competitor to the eu, especially if they don't play by the same rules. they don't want to be undercut and this trade deal is a huge deal for the eu 27. they will ask for more time and to get a trade deal that is so big in just 11 months is very ambitious. they see it differently. they think this is going to be the same old story in which we will need more time and this is going to drag on. but a crucial point at that stage will become the june deadline. european officials are expected to do more in brussels and map out where we go from here, if again that result is confirmed. anna: incense of the timing and how long it takes to get a trade deal done, some analysts suggest the more the u.k. wa

to get brexit done. of the detailed explanation of how he would unleash this countries potential on policing and on the economy. why are you sweating and why am i not. make because... york prime minister had i'io grasp because... york prime minister had no grasp of the numbers where there was the 40 new hospitals, the 50 new nurses that did not exist. this is not a one nation prime minister, this is a 1% of the nation prime minister. the top 1% of this nation over the past ten years had seen its income go up by 185% in over 4 million children are in poverty. how do you justify that? how do you justify it? the most fundamental that brexit, when you backjeremy corbyn ‘s deal or oppose it, that brexit, when you backjeremy corbyn 's deal or oppose it, you know what, i will wait and see what it is. your government that did not manage to get anything through parliament. why did you not do it? one thing that came way puzzling is that he's going to go and renegotiate in the european union and say he would put it

this is the brexit election.wins this election. the next phase of negotiations and chaos will start. the trade negotiation with the european union has not even begun yet and most people, most experts think there is no chance that it can be completed within a year. so we have the prospect of another no deal as we go through next year and i do think that get brexit done slogan is the biggest con in this election. 0nce brexit done slogan is the biggest con in this election. once we skip the brexit mess and vote snp to make sure borisjohnson the brexit mess and vote snp to make sure boris johnson does the brexit mess and vote snp to make sure borisjohnson does not get his weight. is a more misleading that you're alternative, independence, and some are an escape shallow actually, no. because independents put the future to scotland and's hands. this when i decide whether it's comment is independent by this and the clearest possible message that will be determined by all of us who live here and not by boris johnson and

and it stopped brexit?ve today, we did not achieve that in westminster, they were achieved outside westminster. stopping brexit happened at westminster. the withdrawal agreement was the least worst option. it is not better than remaining. we'll stop brexit with votes in the house of commons. andrew foster, what do you think? you asked the question, do you think brexit makes a united ireland more likely? yes, ultimately i think it does. even just the chaos of brexit and indeed if there was a hard border, effectively yes, it would make it much more likely. so, colum you have been campaigning about stopping brexit but your predecessors in the sdlp actually abstained for most if not all bills and boats with regards to eu membership and the referendum, so you have been a bit disingenuous. it's public knowledge. if elected to westminster, we vote on issues that direct —— directly affect us. if you look at any of those bills, there could be 30 votes at any time. somebody will abstain, samuel vote yes or no, but pe

amended brexit deal by a 100 vote margin. the vote came a week after the prime minister's party secured a majority in the general election. the vote paves the way for the u.k. to leave the european union. here's a look at some of the debate leading up to the final vote. >> mr. speaker, thank you. i move that the bill be read a second time and we come together to break the deadlock and to get brexit done. to reunite our country, and allow the warmth and natural affection that we all share for our european neighbors to find renewed expression in one great ational project in building democratically accountable partnership with those nations we are proud to call our closest friends. with this bill, at this juncture international story must not be seen as a victory for one party over another or a faction over another. this is the time where we move on and discard the old rules of leave and -- the old labels of leave and remain. the words seem tired to me. it is like montague's and capulet's. to act together as one, reinvigorated n

top of the agenda is brexit. the guardian has next stop brexit. to be? we still don't really know, do we sell are we absolutely don't know for sure. what we're doing right now is kind of speculating, looking at the size his majority and seeing what that means. because i think borisjohnson is inclined to go for whatever helps him electorally, i don't think he was wedded to the brexit that he negotiated before the general election, the withdrawal deal, he knows that that withdrawal deal, inputting a body down the irish sea, would have very, very serious implications in northern ireland. a brexit with big economic costs, i think, would really sorta pave the way potentially for scottish independence as well. so i suspect we will see him go for something that sees us much more aligned to the eu than we might have done if we had been exiting with a smaller, with no majority. first of all, he wants this thing done quickly. he doesn't want brexit to dominate his whole time in downing street. the way to do it quickly is a deal to keep us closely aligned to

how does this change the brexit process , how does this change the brexit process, this result? reaction, with stirling going up, various stocks going up pretty high, reflecting a bit of the uncertainty ofa reflecting a bit of the uncertainty of a labour government and forced nationalisations, but going away, but also all the uncertainty over the timetable. what happens after january is more uncertain. there is a fundamental decision for the prime minister to make about just a fundamental decision for the prime minister to make aboutjust how close the uk will remain economically to europe after brexit, and that is the fundamental thing. when he visited these red wall seats we have talked

crowd: get brexit done. jeremy corbyn says he won't fight another election after labour's worst performance since 1935. i will not lead the party in any future general election campaign. i will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection. the snp strengthens its hold on scotland — gaining 13 seats — including that of the liberal democrat leaderjo swinson. a trip to the palace this morning for the prime minister — where the queen invited him to form a new government. and coming up on bbc news, ferrari confirm they've held social we'll be drilling into all the numbers from the night. we will pick out the patterns and we'll show you where this election was won and lost. good afternoon from downing street, where borisjohnson is in number ten after his decisive victory in the general election. with one seat left to declare, the conservatives have a majority of 78, their biggest since 1987. they captured a swathe of traditional labour strongholds, withjeremy corbyn calling it a "very disa

we are not anywhere close to getting brexit done. what type of brexit is still very much in the air much talk of the certain stability. i think we are entering into a phase of instability, sadly. >> this gives boris johnson a remake should he choose to do so the reading on this we've spoken to is there is no need to fear a harder brexit. we will get pretty much delivered and what has been agreed with brussels >> a couple of things i'll say to that. it is a good thing we have a prime minister negotiating with a strong mandate a strong prime minister will be able to do a better deal than a weak prime minister. we saw that with theresa may boris johnson has promised different things to different people in the runnup to this we don't know which version of brexit might be on his mind or his party's mind we've seen him argue both ways he could ignore the erg and go for the soft brexit or he'll have the strength to ignore the center of his party and do a hard brexit. we don't know yet. >> didn't corbyn do something where he turned it into 2

there is no good brexit. 0r from the comfort of the tv sofa. i think brexit is a disaster.t it in a scottish characteristic style, so i could never support borisjohnson as prime minister. i am not a huge fan ofjeremy corbyn. and there will be no avoiding any of that pressure for the pair as they arrived for a debate tonight. the final head—to—head clash, but not yet your final choice. ina in a couple of hours the two rivals will be right here on this stage, in kent tonight, jeremy corbyn at this podium here in the red corner, on this side borisjohnson. both of course vying for your votes to become the next prime minister of country, under pressure in front of a studio audience live for 60 minute, the bbc prime ministerial debate. the final head—to—head. live here at 8.30 on bbc one. thank thank you. let's speak tojohn campbell, the bbc‘s northern ireland economics and business editor. what does this document show? tell its more about what it says. some of the conclusions in this lea ked some of the conclusions in this leaked document are very familiar, because there was an

all of that is underpinned by the brexit plan.morning there is a path to a no trade deal brexit. we would leave the eu but then still have the chance of world trade organisation terms at the end of december 2020 if there is no deal. it is not likely. but if that did happen independent economists say that could hike up borrowing to the same levels of what labour planned. and i thought about labour and what we have been hearing there? we heard about the education plans, 20,000 new teachers and cutting class sizes. a lot of focus on what has been a smorgasbord of retail offers, a bit like black friday. i thousand pounds per household was the claim. a couple of issues they are in the numbers. an average household doesn't have two season ticket holding rail commuters, that's not average. and also the plan for free broadband, that's not average. and also the plan forfree broadband, £364 that's not average. and also the plan for free broadband, £364 per year, they claim that will save... that doesn't kick in in their plans until 2030. th

all of the focus, including here in wales, is on brexit. the talk is brexit 21w.ues have been neglected. brexit was an argument put forward by the conservative party. in practical terms, what will brexit deliver for your constituents that improves their daily lives? £1.9 billion has been offered from the uk government to the welsh labour government to improve our health service. until brexit is delivered, these sorts of pledges of money cannot come into wales, orfurther employment opportunities or business opportunities, and secure further growth. we cannot do that until this year.. growth. we cannot do that until this year. . . why growth. we cannot do that until this year. .. why not, why can the money not be pledged anyway? the focus is on getting brexit done. but that was a conservative i’ow. on getting brexit done. but that was a conservative row. what i don't understand is your constituents have said they think their lives will improve from this as a result of brexit happening. as i said, further focus supports concentration, money will then be released thro

we can escape brexit. we can't escape our own responsibilities, but it's a better way out that will secure our economy, allow us to tackle inequality and deal with climate diversity. we can save ourselves from that. mr. speaker are, it is time for scottish independence. [cheers and applause] >> order! [cheers and applause]is >> order, order. the ayes to the right, 358. the nos to the left, 234. [cheers and applause] >> the ayes to the right were 358. the nos to the left were 234, so the ayes have it, the ayes have it. [cheers and applause] >> [inaudible] >> so in dubai you compare it to being on the jetsons. >> well, it's not there yet, but that's the vision. the vision is to have, to have flying airships early in this coming decade. and not just a few of them carrying around rich people to golf courses and luxury hotels. they want to have these flying airships carrying all kinds of people, and they want to have a flying network. it's like a metro system with little stops all over dubai, with little -- wit

it is partly about the brexit debate but more than the brexit debate but more than the brexit debatefailed to make that argument in any convincing way and failed to be credible for people living in towns across the country have voted strongly against dust tonight or last night stop what you say to the message coming out from jeremy corbyn's office and those around him, and from momentum that this election, because exit, was sui generis. it wasn't corbynism, there is no need to change that. we will get a youngerjeremy corbyn or a female leader who is a corbynista and we don't need to carry on. and brexit will not be the issue come the next election. i think the scale of our losses tonight, this morning, really shows we have to change as a party. it'sjust not working and it is broader. brexit is clearly a significant part of this, there is no doubt about that. things might've been different if the parties worked together from the beginning. been different if the parties worked togetherfrom the beginning. , maybe things might've been different if we got a customs union compromise in thi

brexit. >> i sat down with the man who started it all, the head of the brexit party, the always colorful nigel farage. >> you woutotal rubbish. >> also unrest in iran. people are rising up again, and the regime is reacting with deadly violence. i'll talk to the iranian journalist who was arrested in the uprising and crackdown during the 2009 green revolution. but first, here's my take. >>> republicans have rallied to donald trump's defense with a vigor and fros if i that might have even surprised the president. it was only a few years ago many of them suggested he was not really a republican and certainly not a conservative. but now all republicans love trump. and purist conservative groups like the tea party patriots, freedom works and the club for growth are mobilizing their millions of supporters to fight for the president. why? the answer given most often is that when you look past the circus, the president has been a reliable and staunch conservative. and while this is undeniably true in

brexit will get done. how did they feel and what do you think this historic victory for johnson, how will that affect the mood of businesses? lucy: it's quite interesting. there are two different sides to it. first you saw the pound rally, stability and certainty, knowing what will happen has been a huge boost for business and for investors because finally you have stable government, something we haven't had for years and years here. it's a bit of a sigh of relief that we know where we are going. but for many businesses, they don't know the final outcome of brexit but we know we are leaving and there will probably be a transition deal so long as the brexit deal gets through parliament. so two years' stability and then a final deal of some kind of >> lucy thomas, thank you very much. now within the conservative party, we have spoken to some m.p.'s, remainers within the conservative party, who say that they hope that boris johnson will slightly change his stance nd be more moderate and more conciliatory. now

talk is brexit, brexit, 21w, here in wales, is on brexit.k is brexit, brexit, mn, and feel that other issues have been neglected, and... but brexit is an argument that was foisted on the country by the conservative party so, apart from the arguments and division, which we know about, in practical terms, what will brexit deliver for your constituents that improves their daily lives? 1.9 billion has been offered from the daily government to the welsh labour government to the welsh labour government to the welsh labour government to improve our health service so, until brexit is delivered, these sort of pledges of money can't come into wales, we can't further the north wales growth deal or employment opportunities, we can't further business opportunities and to further growth. we can't do that until this is completed. why can't let money be pledged regardless of brexit happening? because focus is on getting brexit done. but that was a conservative party row, effectively, that was put to the country at the country voted. what i don't understand

speaker, it does not matter if it is this brexit or another brexit. the analysis shows that all forms of exit will harm scotland's economy and result in lower household income. >> thank you to the right honorable gentleman forgiving way. he will be aware that before the referendum, we were told that if the country voted to leave, there would be economic armageddon, that there would be rising unemployment, rising interest rates, and so on. none of it -- none of it actually materialized. why does he persist in notemongering when it has materialized in the past, and it is about time he had confidence in the united kingdom? full rathercup half than being empty. look at the evidence. mr. blackford: mr. speaker, let me speak to the honorable gentleman that we have looked at the evidence and i'm just given him the facts, and the fact is -- the fact is when the brexit vote happened, that the pound fell but inflation arose, and let me just give him two examples of the stupidity of those that want to push ahead with this project. the europeanobs at banking auth

let's get brexit done.s, let's get brea kfast at first, my friends, let's get breakfast done. thank you all, thank you all very much for coming. thank you all very much for coming. thank you all very much. boris, boris! borisjohnson has pulled off what is a genuinely historic victory, not just because it is the biggest conservative majority since the 805, but because he has had people who have never supported his party to vote for him. a mandate has been given tonight. the best we can like apple christmas present. we were like, omg, it apple christmas present. we were like, 0mg, it is going to happen. it i5 like, 0mg, it is going to happen. it is amazing and it did. he has won the right to call this home for five years now. are you going to resign, mr corbyn? fourjeremy corbyn, the end of his ambition to move a few short mile5 end of his ambition to move a few short miles to westminster. he is off by the spring if not before. short miles to westminster. he is off by the spring if not beforelj off by the spr

it's not about brexit. candidates have said to us again and again and again we have a problem with brexit but we also the problem of the leadership in the problem with what they have found on the doorstep that people were reluctant in traditional labor to back jeremy corbyn. problems with anti-semitism and problems with language in the manifesto in anything like this i don't think the labour party as a whole will buy the argument that was just about eu. >> will come back to that. clearly this exit poll is anything corrected means they would be conservative gains in some rather unexpected areas to what i would like to do now is to cross the newsroom and go straight to our results center because that is where mike colleague is keeping an eye on the details of some of these results and reduce going to toss about the likely gains based on the exit poll. >> at this exit poll is correct we are looking at the best results by the conservatives since margaret thatcher in 1987 provided on the screen are likely concer

brexit.he uncertainty was likely to abate further. what i would expect is normalization of sterling gold coming more in line with the rest of the g10, e.m. crosses, if you wish. i'll be a seller here. if anything, i would expect further steepening. some of the risk, some of the uncertainty may likely persist, especially as we approach the end of the transition period. from that point of view, the long date for one year and beyond may offer interesting buying opportunities. but overall, we expect the curve to come off a bit and re-steepen, some buying emerging for the long end of the curve. nejra: what reaction are we seeking in the gilt markets? >> high-end yields. that will lift. the front end will reprice expectations a bit. i think on the open. slightly offsetting all of that will be relief we're not going to get a massive increase in issuance, which might have been a consequence of government. it's a mixed picture, but initially the unwinding of the safe having bid, the renewed appetite,

and now brexit will be done. brexit's going ahead. the idea of a brexit referendum is going away.remy corbyn in a terrible position now on his way out. but also the whole labour movement having to reconsider what they're about. do they want to be as far left as jeremy corbyn took them or go back to the center ground made famous by tony blair. >> and max, hiss message throughout the campaign was clear, which was get brexit done. for now the challenge will be of course how does he fulfill that -- how quickly does he fulfill that promise, what kind of brexit are we going to get? and that i suspect we'll know in the coming months. >> well, maybe at the end of the january. and what sort of parliament could object to him when he campaigned on that. so, that is almost certainly going to go through. as you say, there's a bigger issue beyond that, the transition period the year after that. can it really be completely dusted within a year after january, the big trade agreement with europe. he's going to have a honeymoon period for a while. next year is going to be extremely extremely diffic

brexit.gridlock in parliament and we want to get it done. you have heard the prime minister say it, get it done before christmas, introduced legislation and get that moving in parliament. then of course speaking about the priorities, nhs, education, law and order, police officers, something busily i'm working on, points—based immigration system absolutely moving the country out of paralysis so we can get back and invest in public services and get the country moving and focus on theissues get the country moving and focus on the issues that matter to the british public. i've heard that on the doorstep in the last few weeks, i have toured the country and so has the prime minister and we have been all out with candidates every day, listening to the public which is the most important thing. we want to move the country forward and deliver for them. queen's speech next week? we will not hang around, we have indicated previously that if we get a functioning majority for the conservatives in parliamen

brexit has now been internalized, the brexit party is the tory party. you stepping down, how does a -- how can you seriously -- boris johnson say he wants to be a one-nation tory after all this divisiveness, this polarization, their partisanship? how does he bring into the conservative party these new constituencies in labour heartland, working class heartland? >> i think, first of all, he now has the mandate to get brexit done. but that's exactly what those communities will expect. so there is no parliament and different competing groups holding boris johnson back from delivering the brexit that he sold britain. he can now go over to the eu, negotiate that and decision it. but the second thing is you're absolutely right, he needs to deliver. >> yeah. >> for those communities. i grew up in one of them. i grew up in south yorkshire, very strong lead voting area. i represented putney in london, a very remain area. both communities were communitied by one thinunited b one thing, which was the lack of opportunity for young people in our country. people grow

you don't come at brexit from the brexiteer stance, you were come at brexit from the brexiteer stanceou were a remainer, you come at brexit from the brexiteer stance, you were a remainer, you are a one—nation conservative, what is the vision that you want your party to have for brexit now? one thing i said, we have to stop talk ing about brexiteers and remainers. we still don't know what brexit looks like, whether it is alignment, whether we will be in competition with europe, closely related to europe, what is your vision for that, is it what the trump promised, the biggest trade deal that will make us forget about europe. i won't comment on what trump tweeted we have to get the withdrawal deal through so we can leave on 31st january, then we can move on. yes, to ourfuture relationship with europe and health ca re relationship with europe and health care and schools and policing, the things we heard that mat tore people. -- plat tore people. -- matter to people. borisjohnson used the term a new dawn, he will see this as a new start and a new approach. yet we have had a decade of cons

it never want to brexit, so forget that, but of brexit was going to happen, the eu, all my contacts ofader strong enough in the uk to do a deal with us in brussels and sell it back home and in boris johnson, so brexit fatigued at this point, they saw someone who had a lot more potential to do that than the predecessor, theresa may. that's really what he won the leadership contest so overwhelmingly in the end, lots of people have reservations about him, lots of people in the tory party have deep reservations about him. a lot of people, senior conservatives believe bascially that he is not trustworthy enough to be in office. there are very deep wells of concern about boris johnson. but that moment came, moments find politicians and the brexit fiasco had been such a car crash under theresa may that the feeling in the tory party, even amongst people who had walked out was that if anyone was going to be able to salvage this in terms of getting a new deal and then selling it to the contrary, it kind of had to be him. he was the person who made the most difference in the vote leave campaign i

know when has a clue what brexit is. i'm at borisjohnson once. know when has a clue what brexit is. at boris johnson once. the doubters, the doomsayers, they will get it wrong again. remainers and leivas. that will end well. —— levers. this is katya adler in westminster. it is adam fleming in westminster. and laura in westminster as well. the three wise people. and we're empty chairing, not an ice sculpture melting. ourfriend chris. he is on holiday. in new zealand. so he has gone as far away as you can possibly get from brexit. for anyone who is just tuning in and has not seen brexitcast is a podcast that feeds multiple times per week. the tv show on thursday night and we just talk about brexit. we also talked a lot about a big giant election in the uk. and a bit of porn. i mean, we are talking 2019 and looking back over the year. and that was a big moment for us, the danish np advertising on a porn aggregating website. right, ok let's rewind swiftly. the start of the year was a different cast of characters and in completely different context talking about different stuff. i suppos

he too turned to brexit.rexit — as defined by the uk as staying inside the customs union and the single market — then we are facing a situation where northern ireland will be confronted with some form of border, boundary, interface, and a degree of friction. and that is a very regrettable situation. any perception of a border creates the feeling of winners and losers. and in the context of a place like northern ireland — where we are inching slowly towards a better more reconciled and integrated society — that has the potential to be very damaging, and, indeed, destructive. the snp‘s alyn smith and was — until the election — a member of the european parliament. this is a momentous day for some in this house. it is a day of deep sadness for many of us. hear, hear! i assure you, mr speaker, today's vote will live in infamy. it is not the end of brexit, it's the start of something far worse. it is an arethemetic fact, not a matter of opinion, an arethmetic that scotland has not consented to this. hear, hear! we'

an extreme brexit. up the adam and nigel party! excuse me. what evidence do you have that the people have miraculously change their mind, especially in wales where to remind you, brexit trumped ? wales where to remind you, brexit trumped? the only evidence we have, thatis trumped? the only evidence we have, that is the opinion polls showing a shift but the only way ultimately to test that of course is to have that confirmatory referendum. and i agree that politicians have failed to do their job that politicians have failed to do theirjob and so we have to take it back to the people because it is only now the people that can decide this. let's bring our people. i want to know if nigel farage is going to be voting conservative as that is the only way to get brexit done. i think he only oppose the government deal because he likes to be on tv. let me assure you, i do not need to sit here to be on tv. i wanted to believe boris. you could be on fox news i suppose. exactly, i wanted believe boris. you could be

no one's got a (bleep) clue what brexit is. brexit is, um...rstood the full extent of this. we're particularly reliant on the dover—calais crossing. i met borisjohnson once. the doubters, the doomsters, the gloomsters, they are going to get it wrong again. remainers and leavers, that's going to end well. a process which i can only describe as a dog's brexit. this is katya adler in westminster. it's adam fleming in westminster. and laura in westminster as well. all together. the three wise people. and we're empty chairing, not ice sculpture melting, ourfriend chris. he is on holiday already. in new zealand. so he has gone as far away as you can possibly get from brexit. for anyone who is just tuning in and has not seen us, brexitcast is a podcast that is in your podcast feeds multiple times per week. the tv show on thursday night and we just talk about brexit. we also talked a lot about a big giant election in the uk. and a bit of porn. i mean, we are talking 2019 and looking back over the year. and that was a big moment for us, the danish mp ad

i think it's all around brexit, yeah.st night, blyth was a brick in labour's red wall, a block of supposedly safe seats, stretching for miles across the country. but not any more. we head under the tyne, to sedgefield. this was tony blair's house when he was the local mp. in the days of new labour, he had a majority of 20,000 here. now, all change. this constituency went conservative. yeah. i don't believe it. we meet care worker andrea, at the end of her night shift. she stuck with labour, and thought others would in this old mining community. how big a shift is this, that sedgefield is now conservative? it's unbelievable. it'sjust totally, 100%, mad. it's the biggest change i've ever seen in my life. are you going to change the colour of your car? no. he laughs. but derek has changed the way he votes. a retired pit worker, he's been labourfor 70 years. how did you feel voting conservative for the first time? i didn't feel anything. i thought it was the right thing to do. and that's why i did it. and do you now consider

and it was not just brexit. corbyn and the policies. and it was notjust brexit.look corbyn and the policies. and it was not just brexit. if you look at the polling done since then it's amongst people who switched from labour to the conservatives between 2017 and 2019, only 6% said it was that policies and the vast majority sided corbyn and brexit, deftly in absence of the kind of leadership that johnson presented which was a very strong, put your faith in me, i will do x, y, and z strong, put your faith in me, i will do x, y, and 2 which is never been jeremy corbyn's style. it's also interesting to see the parallel with what happened to theresa may, and it was her aides nick timothy and a few of the hill that carried the can, and whether others will carry the cani and whether others will carry the can i don't know, but corbyn is that is going and mcdonald has said is going to lose an opportunity for labour to rebuild and renew the party, and maybe try and pick up on some of the elements. i think there was a lot of security concerns among traditional labour voters

labour is offering another vote on brexit, the chance to stay 01’ vote on brexit, the chance to stayor change of direction. the last minute scramble so direction. the last minute scramble so how do you feel today? fine. we have been in 82 constituencies, a couple more to go around the country and the enthusiasm of party supporters is to go out there and spread the message, it's incredible. i think the message is getting through. is it hard when you have been through this before? the support is growing and there is a greater understanding we can't go on with underfunded public services and a government that hasn't been straightforward with us. lots of people we have heard from around the country are worried about what will happen in parts of the country from your candidates? you show me a candidate that isn't worried from any party in any part of the country will stop being a candidate means you get worried and i tell you what, we will win this thing. you really think that? cheering see you guys, thank you. not the expectation of many people in his party, but he surpassed those last t

to delivering brexit. involves. in spite of this, it was due to his excellent poker stalag luft that the eu caved in on the backstop and agreed significant changes to the political declaration. the 27 could not be certain whether boris would sign that extension letter or whether he would break the law. the key thing going forward is not the withdrawal deal but appointing a new and commercially experienced team or teams, and comprising only those who share the positive vision for brexit. we should be negotiating deals simultaneously with the united states, japan, australia, new zealand and the transpacific partnership whilst also forging ahead with the eu, each negotiation will help strengthen the other. i joined the brexit party earlier this year when theresa may crossed a red line and she invited jeremy corbyn into downing street to discuss her cross— party into downing street to discuss her cross—party solution to brexit and for the future of our country. i knew at that point she had lost the plot. 0ne k

without doubt, brexit and a hard brexit creates disharmony.ing going again? we have been down for 1000 days of the people of northern ireland are hugely frustrated, and we all heard that on the doorstep over the last five weeks. this time, both the dup and sinn fein saw a fall in their share of the vote, which is a strong message to both of them coming from the electorate, and hopefully they will see sense, in particular with the dup no longer having the balance of power in westminster, so they have nowhere to go but back to belfast and make the place work. thank you very much. the mp for the alliance party in north down. back to you, emily. stay with that constitutional conundrum, we will speak to the snp deputy leader, keith brown, in edinburgh. one of my guests, keith brown, was making the point that you can't be any more a party of remain. ina can't be any more a party of remain. in a month's time, if you are in favour of the eu, you will have to bea favour of the eu, you will have to be a party of rejoin, i guess. is that what the snp bec

he wants to get brexit done.hear them say one nation conservative because that suggests something not quite as far to the right but maybe something more centric. we are the same from the chairman of the conservative party a while ago. thank you for staying with us. let me go back to what we are saying. they will get brexit done. we are up by 2.4% on the pound. what are the levels you think are important? >> it is an important level. the bounce has been pretty dramatic overnight. the size of the majority, which came in as a surprise for most. sterling has been cheap for a long time. there will be challenges going forward. we think the difficulty in negotiating a deal with europe should not be excused too quickly. there will be economic challenges. off the economy because of the brexit negotiation process. there will be a new bank of england governor. markets will look to see what new policy we will see and whether that means any cut in interest rates to go alongside any fiscal spending. rishaad: stick around. -- j

ijust want brexit over matter are you looking at brexit at all?your vote ? housing, will that determine your vote? it will play a large part of it but in general welfare for young people because i think they are quite often defined by the circumstances and not seen as young people first. there even seen as homeless all young offenders. so it is very much about how we look after the next generation. because the crime question has also been very big here? exactly. there has been a rise in crime over london but certainly it is something we need to tackle. thank you very much to all of you. just a flavour of some of the thoughts here. local issues we are hearing seem to be important across croydon there are many other issues as well. croydon central as i said is very split. there is a full list of candidate for all three croydon seats on the website. millions of hsbc customers are facing significantly higher fees if they use their arranged overdraft. the bank says that from march, it will bring in a single charge of almost 40 per cent across all its a

you see, brexit is not just brexit factor. it's a mix. you see, brexit is notjust about europe.hem behind. it's often former industrial towns, cities, coal mining places, and the big industry has gone. you know, there are amazon warehouses instead of coal mines. lots of unemployment, lots of poverty made worse by austerity. in boris johnson, one of his great gifts, is to spread a little happiness. he's a can—do chap. he's an optimist. to spread a little happiness. he's a can-do chap. he's an optimist. on that point, let me just playing of a clip from that documentary, where he talked to you about all of that. let me play that now. well, i certainly think that as a general tactic in life, if that's what you are driving at, it is often useful to give the slight impression that you are deliberately pretending not to know what is going on. because the reality may be that you don't know what is going on, but people won't be able to tell the difference. we saw that again, in terms of what he said in downing street today, about united about healing, what did you make of the words you h

itbly means slightly softer brexit than many of the heart brexiteers hoped for. nigel farage will be feeling cross. the eog will be feeling cross. but boris johnson will be freed to show us what the real boris johnson politically is. that is really important. huw: just on the bigger picture, with the historic viewpnt, and given that you have been commentating t on thengs were so many us from this would involve the biggest tory majority being achieved by boris hnson dismissed as a joke by many of his colleagues, the biggest one since margaret thatcher in 1987. and the worst performance since 1983. going back to the days after the second world war. big records being broken in that sense. andrew: they're absolutely are, hur. december 2019 is going to be remembered as a historic turning point in british politics. we are going to leave the eu on boris johnson's terms, we will more souther as the governing majority. all the enthuvoasm of younger rs, all the froth and bubble anexcited on social media, has gotten nowhere. that is very important. e nal thing we have not n
