anna soubry and chuka umunna have one reason for being.ice, may be a bit like the referendum itself. tick here if you want it to happen right now, tick here if you want to stop it. labour has not been able to do that and the conservatives have not been able to do that because the parties have been so agonised over their own division since the referendum itself. i know we are talking about the local elections, but there is this potential prospect of european elections, where the choice will be very different, as laura was explaining. from labour and the conservative point of view, if you have had issues with message in these elections, and if that message has been in some way overshadowed or contaminated in some way by issues you can't control, that will be even worse in a european contest, won't it? well, i would rather not have european elections at all. if people had voted the way i did, we would not be having european elections at all. in an ideal world, it would be good to put things the bed before we got to that point. that now seems

chuka umunna is someone who is ambitious in british politics for a very long time.ty and therefore have decided to form a different one. but opposing brexit isa different one. but opposing brexit is a stance, isn't it? yes, but you just heard chuka say that they are much more than opposing brexit. brexit, one way or another, will be over and done with in a matter of, pray god, months. you are an optimist. probably years. and then, a party has to have a vision for the future. it isn't good enough to say we want to change, it's not good enoughjust we want to change, it's not good enough just to say, it we want to change, it's not good enoughjust to say, it is a broken system. you have to be able to labour for the british people a detail programme and manifesto that says, here is where we feel your life needs improving at the moment. these are our remedies and policies, this is how we are going to do this. that is what systematically the labour party has done. that is why at the last general election, people actually found that our manifesto and chuka stood on that man
