election there was an independent candidate who was a bit like for all intents and purposes a brexit partyally be struggling. the fact though that it seems that it is close, that they are still in contention, implies that assuming galloway has managed to eat into a fair bit of the labour vote, to eat into a fair bit of the labourvote, perhaps to eat into a fair bit of the labour vote, perhaps labour i'm not doing quite as badly in conservative areas, i've heard a lot from people on the ground saying that kim leadbeater has gone down well in those areas, some of whom is well those people potential conservative voters or labour voting, worried that george galloway doing well and actually the best way of avoiding that is to vote for kim leadbeater and the labour party so as always with by—elections and elections you think things will go one way or another and you try to game it but actually invited turns out it is quite a different date —— are different and eloquent things get going.— things get going. don't go awa , i things get going. don't go away. i want _ things get going. don't go away,

and the tory party, - since brexit, has positioned itself as a party, most _ in the case of dominic cummingsis going to shake up things - in the uk, and the government had become sort of. corrupt in its elitism. so, interestingly, - the conservative party is assailing these norms — - and also internally in response to the pandemic, there are huge scandals with regards _ to illegal or irregular- commissioning of tory donors to help with pandemicl responses, being given contracts to produce ppe, etc. they have framed this as a sort of nimble and efficient way- of going about things, . as opposed to a calcified, old—school way . of going about it. so there are two conflicting narratives, and i think- despite the intense media - coverage of all these irregular contracts and david cameron's behaviour, i think the tory - address about how they are changing the way that - governance works in the uk to the benefit of the publicl is actually cutting through. thank you all very much. the bbc used to make a tv programme called snog, marry, avoid. it was supposed to make audiences think again about what

yes, quite possibly, and also quite possibly he might have gained votes from brexit party supporters.o didn't vote for the lib dems but in this instance voted for the labour party. so that aspect of the campaign has thrown up lots of uncertainties. i think labour still has questions to answer about why it was seen during the campaign many people looked to george galloway as an alternative. labour has to think about its appeal to muslim voters and other voters who supported george galloway. like i say, george galloway was labour's potential problem in batley and spen. that doesn't mean that if george galloway isn't in another constituency where there might be a lib dems recovery that labour doesn't have a potential challenge among its traditional voters and indeed it has lost voters in recent elections to the conservative party, especially those labour voters who supported leave. labour's predicament prevails but i think they nevertheless deserves, and kim leadbeater deserves credit for the win, and it was against expectations, meaning it has additional political significance. very bri

party. he was a campaigner for a very hard brexit, one of the leading rebels against theresa may's leadershipr on tuesday to carol his party that they need to think again about dismissive attitudes to taking any and that is to be a far better understanding or a willingness to understand why people might want to do it. he said we cannot be associated with calls to defund the police, and we need to challenge our own attitudes towards people taking the knee because otherwise we are in danger of misrepresenting our own heart, as he says. from those who suffer injustice. he's not the only tory mp to make those kinds of warnings today. johnny mercer, the former defence minister said he agreed with the player who said that priti patel was stoking a fire this by saying that taking the knee was a gesture politics. i think there is ongoing unease with some parts of the tory party about the way number ten seems to have used the culture wars in the way that that could potentially detoxify the party again. also people that feel strongly about racism and feel that their party should not be part of them are

brexit. more than 5.6 million eu citizens applied but opposition parties said many who missed last wednesday'services like the nhs. as the deadline approached, the snp's westminster leader said there was a backlog of hundreds of thousand of cases. mr speaker, overnight, thousands of our friends and neighbours could become illegal immigrants. they are living in fears for theirjobs, theirfamilies and their livelihoods, all because this prime minister won't keep his word. we know all too well the experience of this government's home office — dawn raids, vulnerable people deported, a hostile environment for the windrush generation. scotland's message to eu citizens is, "you're welcome here. "we want you to stay. this is your home." but this uk government is causing eu citizens untold stress. we've had huge numbers of people applying, and, of course, if there are people still who have to apply... there's been several extensions of the deadline. it's five years now since the brexit referendum. we've funded 72 organisations to help vulnerable eu citizens to understand what their rights are, to make t

brexit or the more torydemocracy, what is it ? >> there is an old tory democracy area the tory party is has had a large working-class element. and i think it's effective as people realize. certainly the united states and in other countries like france and germany, the working class is ngactually rather patriotic. the labour party for a time committed this kind of patriotic socialism if you like. patriotic semi socialism. for the last few years it's been losing its way it seems to me, many people agree with this. it's become the party of discontented minorities. of identity politics. of political correctness. >> people that are embarrassed of the flag orthe queen . >> exactly. and even when they try not to show their embarrassment, their enthusiasm is quite difficult. >> ponies, you can see right through it. >> many working-class people, former labor voters feel the labour party has become a party of the metropolitan middle-class. one economist that it was the party of the public sector bourgeoisie andtheir teenagers . and that seems to be. it wins in london, it wins in oxford, wins in cambridge but it doesn't win in the part

brexit dividend. but first. it had been trailed as england's "freedom day" the day people could throw away their masks, party withive friends and even perhaps plan a foreign holiday. but with infections continuing to rise, and predictions they could reach 100,000 a day, labour said the decision to lift restrictions onjuly the 19th was reckless. borisjohnson confirmed the changes in a downing street news conference. it was left to the health secretary, sajid javid, to explain the new approach to mp5. he told them we had to learn to live with covid. we know that with covid—19 the situation can change, and it can change quickly. but we cannot put our lives on hold forever. he said rules and regulations would be replaced by guidance and good sense. we will revoke all social distancing guidance including the two metre rule. hallelujah! except... laughter. ..for in specific settings such as ports of entry and medical settings where of course it will continue to make sense. it will no longer be a legal requirement to wearface coverings in any setting including public transport. sajid javid was back 2a hours later to ann

party's third leader in two months. is vowing to remove the so-called irish sea border. >> the decisions the prime minister took on brexit very significant problem. have resulted in instability here and harm to our economy and our relationship with the rest of the united kingdom. >> reporter: in recent days, the so-called sausage wars over eu controls of chilled meat moving from the uk to northern ireland have eased, temporarily. but some businesses have, already, shifted supply chains towards a more economically united island of ireland. >> there is no doubt about it. it's much easier to source materials from the south of ireland. than it is from gb. so -- and again, that's something that the protocol has -- has -- has introduced. >> reporter: at sandwich makers deli lights, a natural evolution to source locally. and they are making new sales because of it. >> we have access to the european market. we have, also, access back into the uk. so, there's a huge opportunity here to be able to produce a product here, and have access to both markets. >> reporter: and just down the road from deli lights, more changes coming. the

party in this seat. you had george galloway standing, winning thousands of votes from traditional labour voters, there were some pro—brexit time who weren't standing this time, so there had been quite a high level of expectation that the tories would potentially win this seat so absolutely, massively, a sigh of relief for keir starmer and the labour party that they have managed to hold onto it so there is the personal element which you heard about just there, personal element which you heard aboutjust there, the personal element which you heard about just there, the fact that my two says she ran a very local campaign, local issues were a big part of this, and she thinks this is a victory for decency, and what has been at times quite a heated campaign on the ground. —— kim leadbeater. at the national picture is quite significantly changed by what we saw overnight. keir starmer had been under huge, huge pressure over his handling of the labour leadership, there had been some speculating that had labour lost today, after the loss in hartlepool as well, then potentially over time, keir starmer may have faced some sort of lead

brexit. he also is part of the covid recovery group which seeks to get the economy unlocked perhaps quicker than borisjohnson is doing. he is influential and within a section of the conservative partye of politics before the tournament started and did not explicitly condemn those who had been doing players when they took a kneein been doing players when they took a knee in the warm up games ahead of euro 2020. he himself is distancing himself a bit from the home secretary. labour trying to make the government wriggle also more on this. i think this will come up at prime minister's questions, but they're also putting down what is called an urgent question, effectively a way of dragging a government minister to the house of commons to talk about the racism that england footballers have faced, and they want priti patel to answer that in the house of commons was up i'm not sure if she will do it or another home office minister. certainly from steve baker's point of view he can see how the opposition is trying to make many in his own party uncomfortable. he is talking about black conservative activists uncomfortable at how the party, as he put it, misinterpreted the so—called gesture. h
