party in washington anymore? does one exist? >> i'm a limited government, pro-free market pro-national security conservative republican, but i agreeh your sentiment that donald trump has changed the nature of the republican party. we are i believe now perceived as the working-class party and the democratic party has done more to ingratiate itself with "the elite" and the very far left on the ideological spectrum and somehow the extremes are meeting. i worry about this because this extreme push in terms of government role in the economy has happened with the support of both parties. you look at the ira bill. certainly that was the democratic party but if you look at the chips bill, look at that what that did. that was industrial policy focused on a particular industry that people in my party decided was a good thing for national security so let's let the government go all in. that's not the sort of outlook that you see. so you are right. there's a shift towards labor. labor is in the polling at an all-time high and terms of favorability. and in both parties you have seen it. how in the world can a white house go enjoying the picket

conservative party funds. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. ecuador�*s nationalo is behind the death of a prison director who died on sunday. his death comes as ecuadorians have been voting in a referendum to bolster security in response to a surge in violence by drugs gangs. measures include an expansion of military and police powers, that will allow the military to patrol the streets alongside the police. they'll also signicantly boost gun controls and impose harsher prison sentences for "terrorism" and drug trafficking. president daniel noboha also wants to change the constitution so ecuadoreans wanted abroad for organised crime—related offences can be extradited. our correspondent says the prison directors death is part of the growing problem. unfortunately, this doesn't come as much of a surprise to a lot of people here in ecuador. the history would suggest that whenever somebody has tried to tackle organised crime or introduce topper measures to tackle gun violence often they have become targets of violence themselves. we see in this prison director killed

that has placed this area on the national political map, and now a mayoral contest with high stakes for the two main parties. a rumbustious conservativeor became the first poster boy of the redwall, after his narrow win here in 2017. re—elected in a landslide in 2021, ben houchen is now hoping to buck the national trend. a local labour stalwart hopes to win back what was once a heartland for his party — a win for chris mcewan would ease keir starmer�*s path nationally. and the lib dem outsider placing the fight of child poverty at the heart of his campaign. over the past decade or so, tees valley felt neglected by the party that thought it was the area's champion. and so voters delivered a series of bloody noses to labour, twice electing a conservative mayor and then injecting labour from the prized parliamentary seat of hartlepool in a by—election, the lowest of low points. and so that's why this mayoral contest reverberates way beyond here. a tory win and rishi sunak will grab a lifeline. a labour win and keir starmer, well, he will believe he really is on a roll. i think this is the headline grabber. if rishi sunak holds on to this

conservative party? we now have a tory party that resembles sometimes a little bit more a nationalist, national party rathere centre right. and i feel that, actually, the changes that the labour party has made since 2019 under keir starmer — notjust on the health service but particularly on that offer on health, about tackling the determinants of poor health and housing, poverty and all those issues — are the sort of things that are really going to make a big difference. and i think that's why i believe that... why i've made the change i have and why i believe it will make a difference to the patients i look after. since 2010, though, constituents in your suffolk home have chosen you, sent you to westminster as a conservative. some of them might be angry that you have left the party that they chose. what do you say to them? well, i had two things i could have done. i could have carried on to the election and then stood down. or i could... i could have decided to potentially have — there could be a by—election and call a by—election. but we're at the point where there might be a general election called at an

conservative, i'm common sense on issues. issues that are existential are important to other parties. national debt is 34 trillion. every dollar collected in taxes will go to the debt. within 10 years, it will be 100%. president trump and president biden ran up the debt, more than every other president in history combined. this is existential for our children. chronic disease is the biggest issue in this country, when my uncle was president, it was 6%. typical pediatrician would see one case of diabetes in his lifetime. today one out of every three that go into his office or pre or diabetic. all these chronic diseases, 4.3 trillion, five times military budget, more than any other country in the world. we are sickest country in the world, why aren't our agencies telling us, why does america have this problem and nobody else does? >> lawrence: democrats talk about threat to democracy. you raised eyebrows yesterday comparing former president to current president saying you believe that joe biden is a bigger threat to democracy than donald trump. this is what you had to say. watch. when people talk about the threat to

. >> for years, the labor party accused the conservatives of trying to privatise the national health. this reached absurd heights in 2019, when jeremy corbyn made the ridiculous claim that boris johnson was going to sell the nhs to donald trump. it was precisely this sort of sentimentality and hysteria that has held back the nhs. but finally the labour party has turned a corner. the shadow health secretary, wes streeting, has declared, as if he were vying for a tory leadership bid that, quote, the nhs is a service, not a shrine. and he went on to say, pouring more money in without reform would be like pouring water into a leaky bucket. we will also use spare capacity in the private sector to cut the waiting lists. middle class lefties cry betrayal. the real betrayal is the two tier system that sees people like them treated faster , while them treated faster, while working families like mine are left waiting for longer. that's the end of the quote. and while i think that the labour party is really trying generally to say as little as possible before the election, just hopes to win by
