but of course at the last election and it was this deal that nigel farage and the brexit party, whiche a member of at the very member of at the time, very reluctantly agreed to that allowed boris to secure that landslide. you know, they they stood down in the seats where a sense surely they would have provided a spoiler alert to stop the tories winning viraj and tie are both being absolutely certain that come the next election they are going hard. they're running in every seat. there is no deal to be had . there is no deal to be had. well, of course the conservatives would not do a deal with the brexit party last time and they probably thought when they saw the size of the majority that they had done the right thing . but of course what right thing. but of course what they left behind was a people who distrusting them on brexit. and it turns out to be right that we did not trust them on brexit, who distrusted them on brexit, who distrusted them on brexit will take advantage in the future . so i feel very the future. so i feel very strong. you know, we've had all these comments about,

well, of course the conservatives would not do a deal with the brexit party last time and they probably when they saw the size of the majority that they had done the right thing . but of course what right thing. but of course what they left behind was a people who distrusting them on brexit. and it turns out to be right that we did not trust them on brexit, who distrusted them on brexit, who distrusted them on brexit will take advantage in the future . so i feel very the future. so i feel very strong. you know, we've had all these comments about, you know, brexit has had a negative impact on the economy done, it hasn't had a negative, it hasn't had a positive because nobody's done anything with brexit . i don't. anything with brexit. i don't. and instead they've been distracted by terrible lockdown downs, by a war in ukraine and not doing anything positive, which is why we had hope, didn't we? i know we both did with charles. yeah can we just talk about boris, though? because let me put a scenario to you. if reform uk continue to sneak up in the polls and let's just say the may local el

ben, you are a member of the brexit party, which course has become . which of course has now become. sition replace the position to replace the conservative and do have conservative party and do have concerns about the split vote. well, worried about the well, i'm not worried about the split. win elections split. you don't win elections being you go into being nervous as you go into them and i think this is less them. and i think this is less about reform than it is about a completely conservative completely broken conservative party. sean mentioned the broad church nature of the party it's become. i accept a phenomenal winning election winning machine butits winning election winning machine but its pursuit of winning elections it has lost its ideology completely. we now have a conservative membership who don't trust the parliament party and vice versa. and the parliamentary party you've got at least two camps. there's the camp you might associate with traditional conservative values which believes in a small state, no taxation , you know, frugal no taxation, you know, frugal balance

and there, i think all you have to do is look at what the brexit party did in 2019, when we absolutelye board at the european elections and said we were going to field candidates in every seat, managed to thoroughly put the wind up the conservative party so that theresa may had to go . so that theresa may had to go. bofis so that theresa may had to go. boris came in pledging he would get brexit done and the general election was fought on that. now that only happened because sufficient pressure was put on the conservatives to know that if they did not get brexit done , then they were actually going to lose support from their own members. so influence, yes , make members. so influence, yes, make any impact electorally . now, any impact electorally. now, could this rivalry from smaller right wing parties backfire and hand the keys of number ten? and to keir starmer , particularly in to keir starmer, particularly in those red walls seats? well i think, as i say, a general election , people aren't going to election, people aren't going to vote for the smaller parties because they left or rig

i'm also joined former brexit party joined by former brexit party mep and political commentator lindacy. belinda, thank you so joining. so what so much forjoining. so what do you support the you think? do you support the idea ofcom regulating stephen idea of ofcom regulating stephen jones so. i definitely jones and if so. i definitely support it. regulate documentaries and news stations examples when there are programmes that portray themselves as truth finders and fact givers. then i do think it's essential that fake evidence not used and if it is used that they are held to account it. of course you know with meghan and harry's documentary they it wasn't sold as a reality show although it came across as one it was sold as a document entry and a definition of documentary is about revealing the truth and educating people about facts and the truth. so when they use fake evidence in their photograph laughs that clearly are completely unconnected to the two of them. that is news. that is that is essentially , you is that is essentially, you know, using fake evidence to support an accusati

brexit as an opportunity. the main opposition labor party does not want to talk about it but the government's own official figuresst absolutely brexit is contributing in the sense alongside the ngover from covid and the spike in energy prices from the war in ukraine, brexit has made britain poorer. it has made inflation higher particularly for food and that contributes to the whole problem of the state and being able to provide the kind of services and to pay the people providing those services what they would like. >> more on that point, there is one view out there that says these pay requests are unaffordable at the moment. do you see any way the government can make a deal with the unions? >> the danger of the government doing that, of course what they are worried about is if they made a deal with the nurses or the train drivers, they would have to do deals with all the other public sector -- primarily public-sector workers who are on strike. i suspect what will happen will depend on the way public opinion goes. will public opinion tend to go find the workers or will public opinion turned against strikes? reall

labour hasn't really thought about the benefits of brexit from a labour perspective , from a labour perspective, because 70 people in the labour partys kind of, i think, irrational hatred of brexit that they couldn't see some of the reasons why labour opposed going in, in the first place, and one of the reasons why so many people in the labour party opposed it in the seventies was vat. i mean that's one of the reasons barbara used to reasons barbara castle used to do price comparisons do all these price comparisons because they were they were more items that in the common items that had vat in the common market than he had. there's market than he had. so there's a wider here to be i wider story here to be had. i think a really, really interesting angle that we haven't much about at all haven't heard much about at all before. but professor richard johnson, thank you so much for joining sir. this morning on joining us, sir. this morning on the briefing and talking through those really, those labour stories really, really but really interesting stuff. but finally another on finally today, another battle on the hands of the prime minist

between his party, fine gael, and mr martin's fianna fail, which ended almost a century of intense rivalry. mr varadkar will be influential in the talks between the eu and the uk over brexitatic unionist party is blocking the formation of a power—sharing devolved government in belfast in protest against the trade border with great britain. the new taoiseach is hoping for better relations. we must set aside our differences, forgive past mistakes on all sides, and seek a new beginning in a spirit of friendship. the next general election here is due in about two years' time. currently the left—wing republican party, sinn fein, is well ahead in the polls. sinn fein's main aim is irish unity, but its immediate focus is taking on the taoiseach. fine gael and their friends in fianna fail have been in powerforfar too long. they are out of touch, out of ideas and out of time. the political tempo is increasing in ireland, and that matters in london and brussels, as well as in this city. chris page, bbc news, dublin. football fans are preparing themselves for the final of the world cup on sunday. it's argentina against france. each country has won the tournament twice in the past, b

it's also worth pointing that that brexit party vote that wasn't just the conservative vote .bour voters who didn't vote for labour as well. so it's not just a or left thing. chris, can we move on quickly to one of yours? and i've been itching to get this one in about not content with spending get this one in about not content with spendin g £5.6 content with spending £5.6 billion day on force, all for billion a day on force, all for asylum seekers . it's not what asylum seekers. it's not what heidi. hi. for albanians. yeah. so, so i think i mean david davies is quoted there and he's saying that he recognises it's a critical that it's a very, very unpopular and i think what they're trying to say holiday camps. yeah yeah they're going to use holiday camps , army to use holiday camps, army barracks and student accommodation cities holiday camps undermine yes. of plan. yet this off season so they're in the off season . yeah because in the off season. yeah because they recognise that spending 5.6 million on hotels is not palatable to the general public they're also saying that the

and with us this morning is former brexit party mep ben habib.ood parliament, you witnessed morning a feisty start to the day. it was a feisty start and back to what he said. i mean i have great sympathy, by the way, with all the people who are striking. i think that the working and middle class is has had really tough time not just had a really tough time not just in the last six months when inflation is absolutely over , inflation is absolutely over, certainly taken hold, but we you know, we've had rampant inflation in this country for 12 years. people don't appreciate that. the first wave of inflation was in asset prices . inflation was in asset prices. you know, when interest rates were cut and money was printed to save the banks back in 2010, what you had was effectively a devaluation of the pound in people's pockets and the first wave of inflation was removing aspiration and the possibility of large swathes of the population buying their own home. that kind of went under the radar. then we had the second bout of massive money printing in or

brexit, people are looking handling of looking at the handling of brexit the conservative party brexitty can do better than the conservatives under environment . yeah, i under this environment. yeah, i mean these days, years of problems, these aren't something that's happened in the past three premierships. this isn't something that's happened even in the last two or three conservative governments. this is something that's been happening since cameron and this is been is something that's been happening we've to happening since i we've got to go all way back to the go all the way back to the recent the problem note recent the problem that note that on the desk for that was left on the desk for the chancellor saying we've got no money left. i mean, that was from years. so we're from the blair years. so we're looking at some badly managed decline. that's the best way to describe it. i think we're looking at a situation now where people consuming crisis people are consuming crisis mode. you know , the new pm mode. you know, the new pm incoming is always having to deal with issues rather th

i say, yes, i think that johnson will be a loyal member of the conservative party, he, he, he, he, broxeteron laid a new brexit see the results kovel went crazy about brexit, and of course, i would like to see britain as a more global player at the international, political, economic, and financial level, and i think that if we have a threat of defeat boris johnson will return to you, members of the conservative party will call him, and of course he will take part in the elections, well, the situation is economic. because this is not the great britain crisis, it is a global world crisis , great britain is unfortunately not the driver of the world economy, so that munchausen can pull himself out of it by the hair, but great britain is doing everything to reduce the negative effect of this crisis on the lives of ordinary people people, that's why i think that the conservative party has a very big chance of winning the next election. i don't think that there will be the same shocking majority that boris johnson had, but there will be a much smaller majority, but on the other hand, losing such a major in these elec
