the question being put to her was that we saw yesterday, this morning chris stark, so he is the head hisjob at the end of this week. as he is leaving he has made some real criticism, pointedly of the prime minister, rishi sunak, who has pushed back interim targets for the climate change transition on transition to diesel and petrol cars, gas boilers in homes and that sort of thing and he said in that that he said rishi sunak was not such a priority for previous prime ministers, so question to the energy secretary, are you not going to meet your targets, why is this happening? this is what she said.— this is what she said. where we have, this is what she said. where we have. and _ this is what she said. where we have. and i _ this is what she said. where we have, and i make _ this is what she said. where we have, and i make no _ this is what she said. where we have, and i make no apology. this is what she said. where we | have, and i make no apology for this, _ have, and i make no apology for this, where _ have, and i make no apology for this, where we have made some changes— this, wh

that's you being very pragmatic, but in in actuality, one thing i'm really struck by this time, chris, in starke a labour we can't have a labour government, anybody but corbyn. abc now , if you look below the abc now, if you look below the line on the telegraph, on the express, even gb news viewers, they're saying the tories deserve to get a kick. >> they've just given away. >> they've just given away. >> things feel very different. >> things feel very different. >> giving away this last time they 2019. >> giving away this last time the for 2019. >> giving away this last time the for what 2019. >> giving away this last time the for what really? i mean we >> for what really? i mean we were forecasting three time were forecasting a three time johnson know johnson premiership. you know the johnson, the johnson the era of johnson, the johnson supremacy happened. supremacy that hasn't happened. this polling out today. this mrp polling out today. labour win 403 seats 154 seat majority turning . they need to majority turning. they need to win 122 to overturn what the tories offered. it's extraordinary

>> yeah, i think it's the stark juxtaposition, chris, between the crisp, precise, he had moments thatntative. what happened is todd seemed to be looking like he was fine, a little bit of an idea here and there. the age of this case is something. he would talk about that. oh, yeah, you know, michael cohen and stormy daniels, they have credibility issues. the problem is, they, as in the prosecution and the defense, at the end of both of their opening statements asked the jury to do exactly the same thing, to tune out the noise, to focus on the evidence, and for donald trump, that's going to be a problem. because even if you don't like michael cohen. even if you don't approve of stormy daniels, the corroborating evidence in the forms of the messages, the checks, the texts, the phone calls, the things that andrea was talking about a minute ago, you create that chain of custody. those things don't lie. the motives and intent behind trying to hide all of these payments don't lie. i think the one thing, too, that really landed, what really resonated is the fact that donald trump was writing

you know, though, this is such a choice, willie, such a stark choice. chrisa clear choice. one side has taken it away. the other side wants to give it back. you can talk about voting rights. one side, biden and the democrats, very clearly want to ensure voting rights for all americans. the other side did everything they could do to kill the john lewis voting rights act. killed every plan to make democracy more accessible, not just for black americans and hispanic americans, but for all americans. if you're talking about student loans and how the federal government has hiked up interest rates, there is one president, there is one party that is fighting for you to get a fair deal on your student loans. there is another party that has worked nonstop to get in the way and to kill it. it is as clear-cut as can be. january 6th, one side wanted to actually -- >> raid the capitol, kill people. >> one side wanted to confirm the results of 150, 160 million voters on january 6th. the other wanted to undermine it and overthrow it. doesn't get any more clear-cut than this

stark. absolutely, and that's| a huge, very valid criticism made by cosplayers like chris everett and martinait flies in the weight of their history of feminism, to say they're going to go in the saudi arabia, to try to make it a better place there, and it's a question of how much this tennis tournament can actually meaningfully change the culture and how much saudi arabia is willing to change its own culture to make concessions to host sporting is like wta, especially because wta, it's a women's, leading women's sporting organisation in the road, and was founded by lesbians, frankly, and has a large of the world, and was founded by lesbians, frankly, and has a large of ebt presence on tour, publicly -- lgbt —— lgbt presence... if the wta can effect meaningful change for saudi arabia and lgbt people there, they can see that as he could win, but it can see that as he could win, but it can also be seen as an currently naive to think that a tennis tournament can meaningfully affect change. but it could. if saudi arabia wants to make it's of attractive to worlds porting opportunities, it could ch
