i thought it was difficult position for chris philp there.e was talking about the rate of conviction, but of course it is the case that the government is having to let people out of prison because the prison estate isn't big enough. >> absolutely right. and, sort of law and order, crime and justice areas where the conservative party was traditionally much more trusted. it has lost that trust from voters, and it's much harder to regain it than it is to lose it. so i suspect the labour representative there, nick thomas—symonds, will be very happy that they're talking about the conservatives record. chris philp determined to try and turn the tables and talk about what life was like under labour pre 2010, but i think most people just think that there is enough distance now between 2010 that it's sort of nonsense for the conservatives to keep pointing back to that point and argue that things were worse then. i think people just think it is worth letting the other side having a go earlier in the hour , having a go earlier in the hour, polly broke t

and chris philp, the policing minister, joined penny mordaunt this morning in saying that he thoughte mistake for the prime minister. the prime minister is really, really struggling to shrug this one off. so we're at the start of manifesto week. we're seeing the conservatives manifesto launch tomorrow. labour launched on thursday, but at the moment neither of the two main parties are able to talk about what they want to talk about. >> olivia. fascinating stuff. thank you very much for that. so, george, i mean, i've got to say , you are not standing at the say, you are not standing at the next general election. i did just check that you've not changed your mind in the last 48 hours or anything like that, but definitely no, your standing down. is that because you don't think the tories stand a chance? no >> it's because i've done 25 years in politics in total. i first stood as a ukip candidate way back in 1999, and i worked for various campaigns , and i've for various campaigns, and i've done five elections in total, and i just wanted a change in life. and this is quite common now, you

let's dive straight in with the policing minister, chris philp, because chris, today is a difficult day, baffled and perplexed at the idea that he left those commemorations early . commemorations early. >> well, good afternoon tom. we should keep in mind that the prime minister on wednesday did attend a number of d—day events here in the uk in portsmouth meeting and honouring veterans here. then he travelled , i here. then he travelled, i think, yesterday, thursday, to france, to normandy , where he france, to normandy, where he again met a number of british veterans and attended the british ceremony at the memorial that the government has funded over there again, meeting british veterans. now, he didn't attend the last event, the one that was hosted by president macron of france. and this morning the prime minister acknowledged that that was a mistake. and he has fulsomely apologised. now, it's not often in politics these days you see, senior politicians apologising so quickly and so unreservedly. but we saw it here. he realised it was a mistake and that's why he apologised so quickly.

very strange what a cock up the defence is, he said, sorry from both chris philp and minister and lordn, the foreign secretary but already we are seeing , um , but already we are seeing, um, serious problems here and this lunchtime . the daily telegraph lunchtime. the daily telegraph is revealing charles hemus there that ian ason , who was the that ian ason, who was the government's extremism adviser , government's extremism adviser, he has resigned as a tory mp. i've got a letter here. can i read part of it to you? it is brutal, he says to, uh to. he, um, i assume he's written to the party, he says. i'm all interested in knowing why you may want to watch yesterday's news coverage. you understand the depth of feeling around this country , blah, blah, blah, blah, country, blah, blah, blah, blah, prime minister shunning his duty to our remaining veterans in normandy to scuttle back to london to do a news piece defending an indefensible tax claim electioneering had a solemn commemoration of those who gave so much for their freedoms we enjoy is simply unforgivable . he and he says. it unfo
