prime minister cameron: that's a tough question to start. [laughter] prime minister cameron:

that means that a vote for cameron is a vote, if you are successful, for cameron as leader of his party and prime minister perhaps for two or three or four years after which it is morris johnson or uncle tom probably -- cobbly. prime minister cameron: i said every day what i was doing is just getting an honest answer to an honest question because i think people need to know that sort of thing. are you one of those leaders who like chairman mao thinks he can go on and on and on or do you think i have really been passionate about what i doing and turning this country around and having another term, passionate about completing this work. after 10 years and two terms, i think politicians do have a date by which they need to say it is time for someone else to take over. i am not some person who thinks you are indispensable. we are not indispensable, it is important to remember that. jeremy paxman: david cameron thank you. coming next, questions from the studio audience. kay burley: welcome back to cameron and miliband live, the battle for number ten. the prime minister has been interviewed b

cameron: i will look at what was said. in the agreement, there are a set of measures and proposals to deal with the issues of the past in a fair and accountable way. this is one such issue that could be dealt with in that way. >> thank you. we have a proud history of supporting the armed forces. there are contracts for the helicopter fleet that will help companies. will the prime mister reassure us of his commitment to defense spending the defense industry, procurement, and defense jobs? cameron: the $160 billion equipment program is fully protected and will grow in real terms. we have been to portsmouth to see the docs put into welcome the queen elizabeth aircraft carrier. it is a tremendous investment going into portsmouth and our constituency will benefit from the chinook contract, which will pump money into the defense industry and lead to the training of apprentices and jobs for many years to come. >> mr. speaker, a couple with two children making 25,000 pounds and a woman making 10,000 pounds will be worse off in tax

david cameron: i feel sorry for the opposition. he literally doesn't know his next meal is coming from. [cheering] so far this year, 93.7% of people have been seen within that target of four hours. we will do better to make sure that continues to happen. we made a promise, what does that we would put 12.7 million pounds in nhs. they said it was irresponsible but we invested in our health. ed miliband: that is another broken promise. on cancer, he said they key is hell on people had to wait for treatment. -- the key is how long people had to wait for treatment. david cameron: here are the council waiting times for his constituents. 95.2% of patients with cancer were seen by specialist within two weeks. target at. 97.9 percent of patients diagnosed with cancer again treatment within 30 days. target met. 87% of patients again cancer treatment within 60 days. target met. on the nhs, we put in the investment, we increased the doctors and nurses, and frankly, if he cannot stand he, he better get out of his second kitchen. ed miliband: th

prime minister cameron: i will certainly do that.elighted that unemployment is so low in my honorable friend's constituency. the latest figures show that the uk's employment rate has seen the largest rise of any g7 country over the past year. today, there are nearly 1 million fewer people on the main out-of-work benefits and nearly 2 million more people in work in our country. more young people have got into work in the uk over the past year than in the rest of the european union put together. those are the benefits of having a long-term economic plan, sticking to a long-term economic plan and ignoring the hopeless advice from the labour party. ian lavery: despite the prime minister's fine words and rhetoric, his government's cost of living crisis has hammered many families in the northeast. tens of thousands of public sector jobs have been butchered. we have the highest unemployment level in the uk. we have weekly earnings £71 less than the national average. and our life expectancy is 10 years less than anywhere else in the country.

cameron these past five years. that will be very interesting because these two men have been partners in government. they formed a bond. but from today, they're back being opponents and fighting it out on the election trail. >> reporter: and it's worth noting that five years ago, i think many of us thought this coalition government might not make it through the five-year parliament. it was a real experiment politically and could it hold together and it has. >> it has. it was the first coalition in britain for 70 years. as you mentioned, many people thought it would fall apart perhaps an issue like europe would split it apart. also, people thought it wouldn't be possible to go to fighting it out on the election trail. yet, it has somehow stayed together. and that's what's going to be very interesting in the coming weeks, to see how david cameron and nick claig go back to taking chunks out of each other. >> reporter: just briefly, some of the things they'll all be fighting about. i guess key for many voters is the ec

prime minister cameron: i'm sorry. lost you. >> would you like to see more services provided by private companies yes or no? prime minister cameron: i am happy if there are charities or independent organizations that can provide a great service free as part of the nhs, then i think that is good health care. that is what matters to me. i love our nhs. it has done amazing things for my family. i will never forget taking my desperately ill young son into hospitals, getting into a and e. getting amazing treatment. everything they gave him. i want to make sure that that is always there for families in our country. now that would always be predominately a national health service provided by the national health service providers, the private sector, independent sectors. it has gone from 5% to 6% under this organization. great organizations like the -- that helping our loved ones and helping to pay for them that it's ok by me. kay: the lady in the blue dress. wait for a microphone if you could. i think we can get a little bit

jeremy: this is cameron and jeremy: this is cameron and miliband live.ot to the labour leader ed miliband. do you think britain is full? miliband: because of immigration? jeremy: yes. miliband: i wouldn't describe it that way no. we have high levels of immigration and i think we do need to try to get the levels of migration down. but i will tell you one thing i am not going to make a false promise on this because david cameron did make that -- jeremy: you have false promises on immigration. your government. miliband: you've got it wrong. they were wrong. you asked me a question. let me answer. i think that we benefit from our diversity. immigrants over the years have made a big contribution that we -- but we do need the proper control. need proper controls. a labour government says we will do something else. mr. paxman: but we are talking about numbers. mr. miliband: i will not get into your hypotheticals. let's get migration down. mr. paxman: 75 million? 80 million? mr. miliband: let me say what i am going to do. i think the controls we are talking abou

cameron from the studio audience. ♪ >> welcome back to cameron and miller band live.he prime minister has been interviewed by jeremy paxton and now it is time for the studio audience to put their questions to him. let's start with matthew. let's have your question. >> what do you think is ed milliband's best office? >> guest: thank you for the question. all of us put ourself foreword to actually believe in serving the public and trying to do the right thing. we disagree with each other sometimes passionately, sometimes noise of the but we all believe in public service and trying to do the right thing for our country. one thing i admire about ed milliband is when we had to take difficult decisions about sending british forces in to help with others to try to defeat isil in iraq he stepped forward and said yes, this is the right thing to do, let's do that together and vote together in the house of commons. >> host: you called him despicable. >> guest: sometimes in the house of commons we use phrases that are a bit over the top. i remember the same day he called me somet

prime minister cameron: i do not believe that. pride -- crime has come down because the police are doing a great job and there is more we need to do using modern technology to make sure that crime continues to fall under this government, and if we do that, we should be saving money as well. ms. burley: thank you, prime minister. would you like to have a response? officer: no comment. ms. burley: what is your question? guest: it has been 20 years since the passing of an act in the u.k., and yet still twice as likely to be unemployed. it is getting harder year after year to get vital support for disabled people. i would just like to know what you're going to do going forward to change that 11 million disabled people. prime minister cameron: i have a very simple view on this. we should do everything we can to have disabled people face as few challenges as possible, and the disability discrimination act was brought forward by my good friend and colleague william hague 20 years ago, and it has led to some really good changes, but you a

pm cameron: very simple what i have said.i answered a very clear question and maybe the leader of the opposition will answer some clear questions. very simple. two terms, 10 years, and one kitchen. >> is your right honorable friend as alarmed as i am? is my right honorable friend as alarmed as i am that alex hammond is planning to impose demands on the u.k. government and is he concerned that he will have nothing to do. pm cameron: i think my honorable friend makes a very important point. as far as i can see, alex hammond has taken the entire labour party hostage. and today we got the ransom note. it says, higher borrowing, uncontrolled inflation unfettered welfare, higher taxes, and weaker defense. that is what is being demanded in the british people have only one way of saying no to this appalling hostage situation and that is to vote conservative in may. >> can i ask the prime minister about the continually dire condition at london bridge station. is he aware that the abysmal service and the chaotic scenes that a company n

this is what cameron said. >> i know what this world needs. frankly, i don't think ed -- some might say, don't make this personal it but when it comes to who is prime minister, the personal is national. the guy who forgot to mention the deficit would be the one in charge of our whole economy. the man who is too weak to stand up to the tribune's at home could be the one facing enemies abroad. the leader who thinks leadership is climbing aboard the latest bandwagon seems to be the one making those make or break calls in the middle of the night. >> ed miliband making those maneuvers if you like over the business community, trying to woo back the this is community. >> let's see how the day progresses. let's see what miliband has to offer. thank you so much. >> let's get to breaking news. we had seen a deal being confirmed. this is a swiss company. it is going much bigger into the world of what you should be dying -- buying. world duty-free. they want to raise 2.2 billion and swiss francs. they want to sell shares. then got to get their share holde

cameron doing reciprocal things. that might sound silly but they have conversations regularly and that is notable. sometimes it is easy to wash away and say it's simple politics but those reliable relationships do form the construct of a broader foreign policy and i think cameron and obama do have a close relationship, that's pretty clear. >> really you know because tony blair was called bush's poodle. and so was there at all any reluctance on cameron to get close to president obama because of that? >> well, i think were there a -- you know were there a type of conflict situation there would be beyond what we see with i.s.i.s. or i.s.i.l. at the moment, there would be that concern potentially. but president obama is very popular in the u.k. has been very popular continues to be very popular. so for david cameron to position himself close to the president again when you've seen president obama visiting the u.k. there have been a big efforts by downing street to he show the two together and in a close relationship. tha

he comes behind david cameron.s quizzed a lot about how he would perform in a room with vladimir putin. jeremy paxman gets to this point. miliband: mi tough enough? hell yes. what i want most is to be you rself. that is what i am. people have to decide -- do they want my ideas my principles one is to the to not just to president obama but rupert murdoch, the energy companies, the banks, fighting for ordinary people? anna: trying to prove he is prime minister material there. guy: any ideas? any sense of them going to do something? anna: i spoke to the institute of economic affairs yesterday about the gap in various plants we heard so far. we have not got the full benefits of. we are getting the drip feed of economic policy for many parties involved. a run conservatives, people wanted to know what they are they going to cut. which part of the spending budget are they cutting? which bit of the welfare budget? here is what david cameron said. premises cameron: that -- prime minister cameron: that breaks down into 12 bi

cameron said, back from the brink. recession of 2008 britain, like so many other countries, hit so hard. this coalition government has been a place from 2010 to today. what david cameron said explicitly here is pritbritain was on the brink, we had a long-term economic plan. all the indicators are pointing in the right direction. starting to grow again, unemployment is down inflation is now zero. basically the plea to the voters from david cameron here on downing street was you can trust us, we're on the right track, give us another chance. of course, he's going to be hit back now by all the opposition parties, including his former coalition partner in the liberal democrats saying no austerity has been too tough for this country, and you may be feeling all right, prime minister, but there are a lot of british voters who are not sharing in this recovery yet. >> it does feel like there's that extra sense of excitement today. not just because campaigning is under way, but at the moment we don't know who will win. what are

crudely put by the guardian running a poll that said that cameron won. 54% said cameron won. 46% saidand won. interesting to look at how much we learned about these individuals and these two men involved. of course there are many parties standing in this race race. these are the two involved in last night's debate. one of the criticisms leveled at david cameron is he is out of touch with ordinary people. no surprises that the questioning started around the subject of food banks, free food for people who can't afford it. quickly went on to talk about zero hours contracts. and talk about whether he could survive. >> the point is some people choose the contract. if you're a student for instance and you want to do some part time work, a zero hours contract with work for you. we haven't outlawed them all together. no, i wouldn't live on one of those. >> if that is the weak point for david cameron. the weak point in the polling for ed miliband, just how suitable are you to be a prime minister? he was asked how he would be in a room with vladimir putin. this was him trying to prove that he h
